Ex-President Said to Believe Influence in Country Is Undiminished. By David Lawrence. (Special Correspondent of The Eve- ning World.) WASHINGTON, May (Copy- right).—Woodrow Wilson considers himself the leader of the Democratic Party, all other aspirants for that position to the contrary notwith- standing. This impression had been gradu- ally gaining ground with the grow- ing improvement in Mr. Wilson’ health, but the letter written to John ©. Higdon, who asked the former President's advice about entering the Democratic Senatorial _ primary in Missouri, now has been accepted here as removing all dvubts. In the letter the former. President suggested that if Mr. Higdon be- Heved in ‘my political leadership" he would not complicate the contest by making it a three-cornered fight as Breckinridge long, a close triend of Mr. Wilson, had already begun his campaign to wrest the nomination from Senator James A. Reed, arch- political foe of Mr. Wilson. Democrats hereabouts who profess to know all about Mr. Wilson's political thoughts look upon the letter to Mr. Higdon with deep satisfaction. They say it ts full of meaning for those who have essayed to place James M. Cox at the head of the Democratic Party because he was the nominee at the last convention, The question really asked by the Wilsonites—and answered positively by them—is whether a man who was twice elected to the Presidency on the Democratic ticket, indeed the first Democrat in a generation, isn’t en- titled to consider himself leader of the party as against another Democrat who simply ran for the Presidency and was defeated. For that matter, William Jennings Bryan ran thrice for the Presidency and doesn’t believe in taking a back seat for anybody, but it Is a fact that Mr. Wilson has on more than one occasion made it clear that he is the leader of the party, and t not Mr, Bryan This attitude on the part of Mr. t Wilson, however, hasn't prevented either Mr. Bryan or Mr. Cox from re- garding themselves as leaders of the party. But the truth of the matter is that neither one stands well in ‘he graces of Mr, Wilson when leadt:ship is involved. There isvevery reason to believe Mr. Cox and Mr, Wilson, for instance, are on good terms. The speeches of Mr. Cox recently have been right along the same lines as Mr. Wilson has ex- pounded, particularly with reference to the League of Nations, but it is an open secret that Mr. Wilson has Jooked askance at what he has con- strued to be an attempt to grab the leadership of the Démocratic Party on the part of Mr. Cox, At the same time, another story (Continued on Tenth Page.)
