DECLARATION NOT BINDIN Expresses Opinion That Plank Involv- ing Relations With Foreign Coun tries Should Not Be Policies of Political Parties. Washington, Feb. 10.—President Wilson let it be known that from the first he regarded as an unwise policy the insertion in the Democratic na- tional piatform of the plank favoring Inserted in the exemption of American coastwise ; ships from the payment of Panama canal tolls. The president feels that a platform declaration on such a subject is relat- ed to circumstances that arise all over the world as well as in the Unit- ed States and that only the element which the United States can control in the situation ought to be binding. Mr. Wilson told callers that the whole international situation and the point of view of foreign governments was to some extent involved in the settlement of the controversy. He in- timated that platform declarations should be limited to matters of do- mestic policy and should not embrace relations with foreign governments. It is said to be the president’s view that treaty relations with other na- tions might be embarrassed if what is construed as a violation of the Hay- Pauncefote convention were to be in- sisted upon by the United States. It was made clear, however, that only England had protested. ._Flowers.. order Plants and Cut Flowers Miller’s VERRAN 90000000000000000000008 * ; Ives Brick Ice Cream on hand all the 4 time at RESULT OF INTE INTENSE “COLD Widespread Suffering A Among the Poor of Chicago.

INTERESTED IN ELECTIONS Chief Executive May Take Active Part to the Extent of Asking Voters to Keep Democrats in Control of Both Branches of Congress. | Washington, Feb. 10.—How the va- | rlous elements in the New York state Democracy are to be assembled into a new organization with progressive leadership was the problem before President Wilson, Governor Glynn of New York and William F. McCombs, the Democratic national chairman, in a conference at the White House. Though absorbed for the most part in questions arising out of foreign re- lations and the congressional program on trust legislation and rural condi- tions the president of late has been giving consideration to the autumn elections, when he realizes the Demo- cratic administration to some extent will be before the country for ap- proval or disapproval in the elections for members of the house of repre- | sentatives and the United States sen- | ate. The deep interest which he took re- eently in persuading Representative A. Mitchell Palmer to make the race for the United States senate in Penn- sylvania is but one of the concrete evidences of preparation here for the fall campaign. Chairman McCombs talked over the national situation in detail with the president, but most important admit- tedly is the status of the Empire state Democracy. It has not yet been decided what part the president himself will take in the actual campaign. Some of his close friends think he will make sev- eral speeches on national questions, asking the people to keep both | branches of congress in the Demo- cratic ranks.
