WILSON HOME AGAIN; AVOIDS POLITICS

President Hints He May Ignore Party Lines in the Selection of His Cabinet. President-elect Woodrow Wilson is home again after a month’s rest and recreation in Bermuda Islands.' He is going to be of New Jersey for awhile and not worry about the larger responsibility that he will assume on March 4th. He said that he would defer making any announcements or filling any offices until he has cleared up his desk of accumulated business while he was absent. Mr. Wilson has not mentioned the name of any man whom he will call to a cabinet position, but he has said that he recognized two kinds of cabinets. One was made up of men who were given the places as a political reward, and the other was composed of men without regard to political beliefs who were devoted to certain forms of government. He did not say what kind of a cabinet he prefers, hut there is some indication that he may disregard party line if he sees a man of peculiar fitness outside.
