which concealed him from public COM
prehension.
Was Astute Politician.
While his greatest services were of a
diplomatic nature. he was an astute
politician and keen Judge Of the abil-
tiles Of men. In the 1912 presidential
race. when Mr.. Roosevelt headed the
Bull Moose" ticket, Mr.. Taft was the
regular Republican choice and Mr..
Wilson the Democratic nominee. Col.
Houses advice was:
Sit tight. make no mistakes and let
Mr.. Roosevelt elect us"
One of Col. Houses biggest mo-
ments was on Armistice Day, when
he cabled President Wilson from
Paris:
"Aristocracy is dead. Long live de-
mocracy and its immortal leader. In
this great hour my heart goes out to
you in pride. admiration and love"
The relations between Col. House
and Mr.. Wilson were much closer
than even the selection of cabinet and
other Federal officials would indicate.
One OF the most illuminating Incl
dents showing the Texans influence
was related in Col. Houses diary, pub
lished after Mr.. Wilson's death. 1t
took place December Is. 1914. when
the colonel told the President that
establishment of good will between
the United States and Latin America
was one of the pressing needs of the
time.
x suggested that he take a pencil
and write the points to be covered"
Col. House related. He took a pencil
He wished to know if there
was anything else. thought this was
sufficient"
The scene finished with the Presi-
dent turning to his famous typewriter,
copying the statement and handing it
to the colonel. Soon it reached the
proper places to be made a policy of
the United States.
