LEADERS THINK WILSON THIRD TERM ASPIRANT Political Plans and Legislative Activities Are Proceeding on That Basis By GILSON GARDNER. Weshington, May 24—Congress has decided President Wilson is a candi- date for a third term. Political plans and legislative activities are proceed- ing on this assumption. Many people will feel tha: the third \ Question is premature at this time. There, are. three years before the next national democratic convention. Much will happen in these years. \Nevertheless, there must be a pres- ent answer to the third term ques- tion for every man who lives in poli- tics. Political futures depend on the answer. Will Champ Clark be democratic candidate? Will Roosevelt have his hat in the ring again? Will the next campaign be fought on the war issue? ~ These questions every member of ‘the house and nearly every member * of the senate, have been discussing, in cloak rooms and settling one way or the other. A president finishing his last term, and about to go into private life, ir less powerful, than a president begin- the next made in the open and backed by many votes. President Wilson has naturally avoided with great care any state ment which might be construed as an- nouncement that he will not run in 1919. With the country at war he can state with utmost good faith that no man can foresee what may be’ the necessities of the occasion. It might be dangerous to attempt to “swap horses while crossing the. stream.” On the other hand, the war may be over and Wilson may feel his big -work has been done and want rest. 2 Diligent efforts have ‘been made te sound. out Wilson's mind through friends, and to interpret his thought through his public and private acts on this third term matter. The an- swer, as previously stated, is affirm: ative. The political world believes. the president is planning for a third con- secutive term. Champ Clark believes this. “All Champ Clark’s friends be- lieve this. Jim Mann and his repub- lican cohorts believe it and are act- ing on this belief. In large part it may be said the conclusion is an inference from such public acts as the president's franklv expressed feeling that ‘Roosevelt. should not be permitted to take a di- vision abroad. This was the opinion brought out in the debate on that subject in the house. Privately administration democrats say Roosevelt should not be permit- ted to make political capital out of the war, which they think would be his purpose if he were allowed to raise a division and take it to the trenches, PIONEER WHO RODE ning eight years of presidential of- fice. Even Roosevelt, it will be remem- bered, after he had announced he would retire at the end of his second term became the object of bitter at- tack by enemies within and without. his party, who, up to that time, had been restrained by political prudence. James A. Tawney of Minnesota was one of those who discovered the “big stick” was dwindling. It President Wilson were to an- nounce today that after March 4, 1920, he would be a private citizen, his “big stick” would begin a rapid dwindling and many _politicians— democratic and republicans—now re strained by fear, would go after him savagely. These attacks are now muffled bv the cloak room. They would then he HOW TO MASTER THE MACHINERY OF ‘THE BODY (By N. B. Cook, ‘Cook, M.
