WILSON ENDORSES LEWIS.
Former President Gives Testi-
moniai to Aspirart for Sem
ate in Maryland

Washington, July 24.-For1ner Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson has given what
amounts to an Endorsement Of the. c. n
didacy of David J. Lewis for the Demo
cratic nomination for United States
Senator, it was learned yesterday.
In letter 10 Mrs. Robert R. Hem
derson, OF Cumberland, made public here
today, Mr.. Wilson speaks in the highest
terms of Mr.. Lewis of his past public
service and of his qualifications for Sem
ator. He avoids carefully asking the
Democrats of Maryland TO send Mr..
Lewis TO the Senate, but he leaves no
doubt that be would be delighted If they
did so.
Mrs. Henderson is the widow of Judge
Robert R. Henderson, who was a class
mate of Mr.. Wilson at Princeton. 4
warm friendship developed at school
that lasted through the years, and was
unaffected by the fact that Judge Hen
derson was a staunch Republican, while
Mr.. Wilson became the leader Of the
Democratic party. It Is stated that IN
Mr.. Wilson's years IN Washington the
two families frequently have exchanged
courtesles.
IN his letter, Mr.. Wilson says in part:
Il have been very much Interested
to learn of Mr.. Lewis candidacy for the
United States Senate and DO not
hesitate to say that regard him as N
every way qualified to i'll the position
OF Senator. He is most conscientious IN
all his dealings with public questions
and has, moreover, legal insight into
their merits and extraordinary industry
in famiiarizing himself with their de-
tails.
II was often glad to be guided by
his knowledge and judgment IN dealing
with legislative matters and should
deem the State of Maryland fortunate
in having such a representative in the
United States Senate"
