The influence of Mrs. Edith Wilson on the life of the President, begin- ning as it did early in 1916 and ex- tending to the hour of his death, is one of those intimate chapters which will never be adequatcly described by the historian. Her's was a charm which affected Woodrow Wilson at every turn of his later career. With- out seeking to dominate, yet guiding {him just as surely as any adviser had in the past, sympathizing, helping { with the details of his work, receiv- {ing his confidences, discussing prob- lems of state, testing friends for their loyalty and unselfishness, in short, playing the confidante in a way that completely absorbed Mr. Wilson, there stood at his side through the critical years of his life a woman who it may {truly be said shaped the destinies of the " United States government for inearly six years. Like every woman, she had her llikes and dislikes. Some of those | who in preceding years were frequent mnars did not come as often to the White Housc avhen she became its mistress. Those who sought to reach the President, on the other hand, knew that to reach Mrs. Wilson first was freuently of incalculable aid. She moved about without ostentation, holding her place as first lady in the land with all the grace that befitted such a position. Blend of Work and Play. The election of 1916 played an im- portant part in the development of Mr. Wilson's new life. confidant than ever of the support of public opinion. He did not seek new companions. He lived in the com- fortable seclusion and quiet of the White House with his beloved wife. He did not make a transcontinental campaign in the summer of 1916, such as that of his opponent, Charles Evans_Hughes, the republican nom- inee. He spent his summer at Shadow Lawn, Long Branch, N. J., making speeches every Saturday to visiting delegations. Altogether, it was a season of recreation for the President and Mrs. Wilson, not to the exclusion of public business, of course, but a happy blend of work and play. Just after the memorable 1916 elec- tion, when the doubts and anxieties about a second term had been re- moved for all time, the beginning of a new era in the White House was ent. Changes began to be made e personnel. The author dis- closes one episode which has never before been related, but which il- lustrates how completely Mr. Wilson had separated himself from his pre- vious life. One day the President in casual conversation with Private Sec- retary Tumulty told the latter that he believed he ought to resign the secretaryship and go in for a political career in New Jersey as a member of Congress. For weeks preceding this conversation there had been re- ports published that Mr. Wilson had oftered Mr. Tumulty a post on the board of appraisers in New York. Secretary Tumulty was at a loss to understand the origin of these ru- mors as to the place he was to oc- cupy in the second administration. ‘He could not recall offending the President in the slightest, but at last Mr. Wilson revealed that the pub- lished reports were true—he did sug- gest resignation to his private sec- The author learned of the incident at noon on Sunday, November 19, 1916, and feeling sure there must be some misunderstanding, sent a note to the President requesting an audience that afternoon and was received in the green room almost immediately. Did Not Like Criticism. Woodrow Wilson never liked to hear criticism, yet he was one of the fair- est of men. Knowing him for years s a man who would not render. a udgment unfairly if he knew the facts, the author sought Mr. Wilson's ,reasons and found that prejudice had [been carried to him with respect to fortunate—a prejudice based on a po- litical cabal and upon impressions which were wholly unjust to his pris vate secretary. For three-quarters of an hour we talked. It was a dramatic conver- sation only because the author felt that in such a case vehemence was essential in order to impress Mr. Wil- son with the ingratitude that would be his if he listened to the encmies of his private secretary and gratified their wishes. Nobody would under- stand, the author told the President, how one who had render ful service to him as had as faith- Secretary Tumulty could be asked to retire. i=| None of th# newspaper men who Tont of Metropolitan Theater.

As the critical days of 1917 ap- roached Mr. Wilson came more and more to appreciate how valuable was the aid of his private secretary; and while Tumulty was undoubtedly im- pulsive at times and made mistakes, there is no question that he was loy- alty itself in his service to Woodrow Wilson. Four years later the break come, and undoubtedly the in- flencos wwhish brought it about were not far different from those which 3, | were operating in 1916. Final Break With Tumuity. The incident which separated i ‘Woodrow Wilson and his private sec- retary ocourred after the breakdown of the President and after his re- tirement from the White House. The letters in the record exchanged be- tween Wogdrow Wilson and Joseph 4| P. Tumulty do not explain the break. . Mr Tumulty had, however, written He felt more. a book which displeased some of the inner circle and he had conveyed a message to a banquet of democrats in New York which Mr. Wilson claimed never to have written, but which ‘was given orally to his for- mer private secretary just as were s0 many verbal messages in the years of their association. it was a harm- less communication, simply an ex- pression of the hope that the demo- crats would do their part in leading the world to a better understanding between nations. There cpuld be no possible objection to the message even it Mr. Tumulty had phrased it himself, which he did not. Mr. Wil- son objected to the message because it was construed by the newspapers as a participation by him in the se- lection of a candidate for 1924, but the message was merely a pretext— the anti-Tumulty influence won out and the man who stood by his chlef for so many years was never even granted a hearing—indeed, there is nothing to show that the subsequent messages fromr him ever reached Woodrow Wilson. In the last months of Mr. Wilson's life efforts were made %o reunite the two. Again Influences hostile to Mr. Tumulty prevented such a meeting. What Mr. Wilson did_do, however, just a few months before he died, was to write a letter to a friend stating his opinion that_the best man to make the race in New Jersey on the democratic ticket: for the United States senatorship in 1924 would be Joseph Patrick Tumuity. lished in the and already was in type when Mrs. Wilson asserted her legal rights to suppress the document. The missive shows that Mr. Wilson did not lose his high regard for the man Wwho served him eleven years as private secretary and who deserves to be called by those words which Wood- row Wilson used with pecullar pre- cision, namely, a loyal friend.
