PARTY NEED: WILSON'S FRIENDS POINT TO INCREASING NUMBERS Morale of Administration Supporters Low, Says Cor- respondent Numbered Among Leading Admin- istration Wniters—Autocrats Must Go David Lawrence, Washington correspondent of the New York Even- ing Post, is one of the best known newspaper writers of the country. His familiarity with public affairs, his experience as a newspaper man, and his exceptional ability as a writer have made his articles in such great demand that the New York Post copyrights his daily correspondence and syndicates it to a number of newspapers. Mr. Lawrence has earned the reputation among the newspaper fra- ternity, and among public men, as being one of the leading pro-admi tration newspaper writers in Washi: sistent has been his praise of the acts, the policies and the pronounce- ments of President Wilson, and so with the White House that he has is- ington. So unreserved and so con- onfidential are his reputed relations earned the distinction of being re- garded as' the administration’s most valued publicity spokesman. Because of these facts, the foll lowing news letter by Mr. Lawrence | of the names mentioned have rankled jin the minds of disinterested friends ; who want to see America represented | by broad-minded and able me! peace of the world, nor his remark- able influence in bringing victory to CASUALTIES TO the Allies; but the feeling of the men} | who are fond of the president and who have the courage to tell corres- A E F REPORTED pondents how ‘they feel is that he siesk o treated the American people with in- difference when he failed in his first | announcement to tell the exact ‘pur- | pose of his journey and the provision he planned to make for the transac-, —— { tion of public business in his absenc The following casualties are re- The revolt inside the Democrat + ; “C i ; ~ party is not of recent origin. ..1¢ has ported by the*Commanding General Fi been growing for several months, and °f the American Expeditionary Force, Woman's Club Adopte ! may explain the lukewarm activity of | Killed in Action Bis Coe many Democratic national commit-, Died of Wounds —~- , One French fatherless chifa teemen in the recent election, many Died of Accident and Vendee Province will have of whom have felt a large part of the other causes .____ 5 | Christmas than: for many rs as a | Republican criticism of the record of Died of Airplane accident 3 |result of the action taken yesterday | Kz | the Democratic congress was abso- Died of disease _____ _ 296 by the Woman's Club at a meeting an lutely true, and that it was useléss Wounded severely --___ 105 held at the home of Mrs. W.

Coming on the heels of Secretary McAdoo’s unexpected resignation and persistent rumors of a sharp cleavage in the administration over vital policies, the letter was endowed with double significance by those who have closely followed public affairs. The letter in the New York Even- ing Post follows: By DAVID LAWRENCE (Copyright, 1918, by N. Y. Evening Post, Inc.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—President Wilson is himself so strong an advocate of frankness in public Lusiness and politics that he will not mistake the sincerity of purpose and disinter- estedness of his many friends who believe that he is face to} face with a crisis in his own career both as leader of the Demo- restore ve confidence of the people in him tell Eropean statesmen, skilled in the! methods of the Old World diplomats, | of disease; Mrs. J that he speaks for a united America, Ernest L.

Briefly, there is a dis-| satisfaction and discontent inside the | Democratic party of which the public has hitherto had no hint, but which, | if left uncorrected by the president himself, will mean that as he goes to Europe he will leave behind a de-| jected and depressed following whose enthusiasm for him will have been seriously diminished, Men who are not officeholders but unselfish friends of the president are | grieved and disappointed. They are not Republicans, they are not his po-/ litical foes, but they are the men whp | helped to elect him in 1912 and in| 1916, and they are talking earnestly | among themselves what can be done} to make the president see that he must clean house, that he must re- organize his entire cabinet and that he must indeed, reorganize the Demo- cratic .party in congress so that he will have advisers in the executive branch of the govern: resend lead: ers in the legislative. wi in sympathy with the true wibeenl spirit of the-American people, After talking with dozens of these men, the names of any one of whom, if published, would carry the con-| viction that they are seeking only! things which will help and not hurt the president, one gets the consensus} of opinion which is, unmistakable. | Here and there are ‘suggestions of | method which differ, here and there are different degrees of dissatisfac- tion, but, put categorically, these are some of the mistakes which the pres- ident himself ig declared to have made or to be making today: _ First, the president in his absorp- tion in foreign questions, has gotten out of touch with the true spirit of | America on domestic. questions. He has listened to a small group of ad- visers who have had his ear to the exclusion of the greater group of friends who come from the Middle West and West and sections of the Eust where people are finding it dif- ficult to reconcile the brand of de- mocracy which Mr. Wilson preached at the outset of his administration with the retention of distinctly auto- cratic and bureaucratic advisers and with his own seclusiveness, Second, the friends of the presi- dent are unable to understand why George Creel, should be taken to Europe as the head of any committee on public information when Mr. Creel, not withstanding his fine per- sonality and close personal friend- ship for the president and sympathy with the Wilson ‘ideas, has lost the confidence of the American press, and thereby the people. Third, the friends of Mr. Wilson lieve a grave mistake was made in announcing the dispatch of Mr. Creel to Europe at the same time that Post- master-General Burleson was per- mitted to take over control of the Atlantic cables, been denounced as “colossal blun- Re not merely by Republicans, but 'y Mr. Wilson's most loyal friends, who mean nothing personal by it either, Fourth, they believe that Mr. Wil- Son's cabinets is superannuated, and Ww 4 rut, and that the resignation of iliam faministration of one of its most ef- ‘cient publie servants, and that the president should have never permit- ted him to nesign until after recon- pruetion was well under way, or at me Mr. Wilson had returned from “Urope, : Fifth, they consider that Southern Comination in congress and elsewhere will Prove fatal to the Democratic rere chances to regain the confi- ar, of Western electorates. th cane they are deeply disappointed Wes Mr. Wilson himself should have cept himself aloof from mien from sae states, who have sought to| shelf in the pust, and that he | ate have depended so much on his n judgment or the advice of a aa froup of provineially minded bel |the resentment of the American peo- These things have!

One of the most curious features of | the situation is thet some of the men with whom ‘Ihave talked>do not’ feet | that they can very well tell Mr. Wil-| son the truth.
