The plan is mild to be to have the president suddenty plunge into the campaign, protably late next month, One of bis first acts would be to send a measage to congress asking it to remain in Washington thru the summer and pass legisla tion which he would urge. Should much a program be carried out, it in expected the message would be followed by a public appearance of the president and a speech by him. ‘The plan, according to these re ports, would be carried out to give force to a demand to be made by Wilson that the democratic conven: tion nominate a candidate to run on a inague of natici.« platform, with planks praising achievements of the adroinistration and promiaing Tan | wife, he knew, waa out. to carry on its policies—tn other words, a “Wilson man.” The story apparently ts based on the idea that Wilson is tn better health than generally supposed gd in awaiting the paychological mo- ment to resume greater activities. In support of this, it in pointed out that he is attending to hin of ficial duties a usual and that cabinet members saw no evidence of ilnens when he presided at the cabinet seasion tast week; also all Gemocratic presidential possibilities except A. Mitchell Palmer are keep ine in the batkground, evidently not knowing what Wilson intends to do and at democratic national headquarters the idea of a pre convention campaign much as the republicans are conducting is do precated. A cancelation ef Wilson's plan for spemiing the summer at Wood's Hole, Mase, ts likewise regarded os an indication that there is “some: thing in the wind.” Sans Clothing, He Routs Burglar Who Disturbs His Bath 1, H, Beggs, brave man that he ts, 4id battle sans clothing with a masked burglar Saturday night. in his home, at 114 Temple pl, and Mon- day ho is his wife's hero, Beggs had just stepped into the bathtub when he heard noises, His 80, wrap. ping a bath towel about him, he went gunning.
