“Four Hundred Manqhus Killed In Battle with Republicans,” reads a headline in Monday’s papers. This happened in China, however, and has no reference to the numerous factions Of republicans in this country.

The Democrat is publishing some political matter relating to the candidacy of Woodrow. Wilson for the presidency, but Woodrow is not The Democrat's choice for the nomination by any means. Governor Harmon of Ohio, has been our choice for the presidency since the last general election, and still is our choice. A man who can twice carry the : rock-ribbed republican state of Ohio, the last time by oyer 1 Or,ooo* plurality; who has given the Ohioans*a splendid business Administration and can carry the s.tato for the presidency over any candidate the republicans can name by more than half a hundred thousand votes at least, whose experience in state-craft pronounces him <siafe i and sane candiadte who would sweep Che entire country next November, should not be overlooked in choosing candidate to head the democratic national ticket. Ohio has 23 electoral votes. Ha-rmon is the only democrat, we believe, who can ca<:ry that state. Twenty-three votes taken 'from the republican column and placed in the democratic column count 46 votes. They are eetrainly worth looking after.

REPUBLICAN SENATORS

Make Rig Fight Against County Local Option in Editorial .Meeting Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 26.—After a hard fight today, in which the party leaders sought to keep the Republican Editorial Association from declaring , for the adoption of a county local option platform, the association hitched itself to the Ar-ti-Saloon League and former Governor Hanly. Three of the five members of the resolutions committee reported Tn favor of the county unit platform for the state convention. Two dissented, but Will Maddox, Bloomfield, one of them, signed the maporitv report after it was adopted by a vote of 18 to 15.

Former Senator Brooks. Bedford,! made a vigorous attack on the ma- J jority report. He pointed to the | long line of defeats the republicans, have sustained fighting for various forms of prohibition. He predicted that defeat will come again if •the party stands for the county unit. Two speeches were made by editors with prohibtionist leanings.! Thejy said the party should stand for the principle advocated in ■1 908.! The first showdown between the' Anti-Saloon League and the leaders' who were trying to shape up affairs so the campaign can be pitched op ; national issues came during the meeting of the resolutions committee.' President Taft's lieutenants advised' against tying up with the Anti-Sal con League.

James E. Watson, who was defeated for Governor in 1908 on the county unit platform, strongly ad-' vised the committee against any movement to commit the party to it this far in advance of the state | convention. He v said one reason for wanting a late state convention was to give 1 the republicans a chance to consider the tern per anpe feature of the platform. He minted no words in declaring Chat the republicans have lost about everything they have in advocating county local option, and in predicting that defeat will be their portion if they take it up this year. Concluding he declared boldly that a declaration fbr county local option meant that the association and the party had lined up under the control of Hanly. He said that any party would be eternally damned and defeated that ties up with Hanly and permits 'him to dominate its affairs. * (While the Ahti-Salpon forces are jubilant over the action of the committee the party leaders say the fight has just started. Most of the editors from the rural circuit fav- 1 ored a return to the county prohibitipn platform. j

WILSON'S CAREER AN INSPIRATION

Young Men of the Country May Well Look Up to Him as Master of His Calling. AS EDUCATOR AND EXECUTIVE In Particular, His Record as the Governor of New Jersey Shows Him Worthy of Highest Position in the Gift of toe People. It would be hard to find a school boy over the age of twelve years who has not heard of the name of Woodrow Wilson. * Woodrow Wilson was born in Staunton, Virginia, December 28th, 1856. His father was the Rev. Joseph nR. Wilson and one of the most influential churchmen of the ‘ south. At the age of two years his father moved to Augusta, Georgia, where he took charge of one of the largest and most influential churches in the south. Augusta was then a city of about 15,000 inhabitants, and it was here that, the boyhood of the future governor of New Jersey and president of Princeton was speiit. Rev. Wilson moved to Columbia, South Carolina, in the Autumn of 1870 and became a teacher in the Southern Theological Seminary Which position be held for four years. Woodrow continued to attend school, hut most of his training was under the direct supervision of his father, and in spite of his late years to start at books he soon qualified for college and at seventeen he was sent to Davidson College. North Carolina. Princeton Training Valuable. In the autumn of 1875 he entered Princeton, where he graduated with the class of 1879. His going north to college was fortunate, for it gave him at an impressionable age an opportunity to understand the northern, as well as the southern, point of view.

In the autumn of 1885 he was called to the chair of history and political economy in Bryn Mawr College. This he held for three years, when he was called to a similar position in Wesleyan University: He remained there two years and waa called to his alma mater, Princeton, as .professor of jurisprudence and political economy. Later in 1902 he was elected president of Princeton —the second oldest university in the United States. He took his Ph. D. I degree on examination in 1886, sub-j mitting as his thesis “Congressional Government.” 'This is considered the highest degree conferred by institutions of learning. When Dr. Wilson -came to the presidency of Princeton he had been known as a scholar, author and public speaker, but he was untested as an executive.

In his presidential office; he carried out the idea of leadership which he pronounced in his first book, and has held ever since, in officered out of office. He proposed something at Princeton that waa a radical change from the old way; it was the complete reorganization of the university ih such a way as to bring into daily communication and companionship representatives of all classes and of , the faculty. The proposal was against the tradition of Princeton, 1 for it lent toward breaking up the I self-elective clubs. “It sounded a , startling note of democracy and pointr !ed out broad ways by which the youth of the country could be brought up for the service of the country.” Young Mep Look Up to Him. Woodrow Wilson has been an inspiration to many young men who | have looked up to him as a master I of his calling—always helpful to others, as individuals and as a body politic. lie copies after no one and individual thought is traoeable in every essay and hook that he wrote, but always regardful of the rights of others. The reforms he has inaugurated since he has been governor of New Jersey—probably the worst corpora-tion-ridden state in the union—has put him prominently before the world. All over the Country thoughtful men are -writing and saying that he will be ! the Democratic nominee for the presidency when the convention convenes ! next summer. He is by nature and ' adaptation the fittest man for that of-, ».ce to be found in the United States. [ f.. < 'W j
