WILSON CERTAIN TO BE A CANDIDATE Whether Bryan Likes It or Not He Will Go Before the People in 1916 The New fork Tribune recently published a dispatch from Washing ton, of which tho following is a part: "President Wilson's interpretation of the 'one-term' plank in the Demo cratic platform is such as in no way to preclude his seeking renominatlon, and hiß close friends are convinced that not only will he be nominated, but that he will be re-elected In 1916. "Just what President Wilson's inter pretation of this plank is the Tribute correspondent is in a position to an nounce on the highest authority and for the first time, no amount of in quiry having heretofore developed the President's attitude on this subject or cleared up the mystery which has attached to it. "President Wilson and his close ad visers take the ground that he 1B com mitted to the principle of procuring an amendment to the Constitution which shall limit all Presidents to a single term of such duration as may be determined in the future, but they are confident such an amendment cannot be accomplished before 1916, and that until such a constitutional limitation is imposed on all Chief Ex ecutives of the nation there is no obstacle to Mr. Wilson's seeking and accepting a second term. "That this is the construction which William Jennings Bryan, who 'wrote the Baltimore platform, intended should be put on it is seriously doubted by many of Mr. Bryan's friends. The Secretary of State for obviously deli cate reasons will not discuss the sub ject. "That Mr. Bryan fondly believed that in accepting the nomination on the Baltimore platform Woodrow Wil son pledged himself not to be a can didate to succeed himself is asserted by some of the 'peerless leader's' close associates, who also admit that the eminent Nebraskan fully expected to succeed to the highest office in the land after having by his support of President Wilson proved his loyalty to his party and having by his. adminis tration of tho Department" of State demonstrated his own capacity for high administrative office. Indeed, this belief has so far prevailed in the halls of Congress as to constitute to many a specter of party division, to be followed by defeat in 1916. "Secretary Bryan's friends now point, however, to his recent decla ration that it has always been his am bition to serve In the United States Senate as indicative of a change of purpose on his part. .—» "The 'one-term' plank of the Balti more platform reads as follows: " 'We favor a single presidential term, and to that end urge the adop tion of an amendment to the Consti tution making the President of the United States ineligible for re-election, and we pledge the candidate of this convention to this principle." "In due time, however, the Presi dent will lay be/ore Congress the plat form pledge to amend the Constitution to provide for a single term. This, in the opinion of those close to President Wilson, probably will form one of the Importantrecommeiulatlonß in his mes sage next December. There is little probability, however, that even if Con gress should take up the subject, next winter the work could be completed before 1916. "The political prognosticate™ In the Democratic party predict that 1916 \V"I find President Wilson laboring sincerely and earnestly to carry out the one-term pledge In the Democratic platform, while he accepts a renoml nation at the hands of his party, and it is even suggested that stranger things might happen than the spec tacle of the Democratic nominee ap pealing to the country for re-election on the ground that this pha.se of his important work remained still to be completed."

The title of the act tells its story. A gathering of clubmen are seen in their favorite haunt in search of amusement. Their quest is successful to themselves as well as their audience. A neat comedy number is introduced in their travesty on the "movies."

POLITICS HAS THE CUI NUNS People in Philadelphia Think Stuart Will Be the Candidate Beyond Any Doubt Philadelphia, Jan. 27. Sentiment Is clearing in the matter of the prob able nominees of the several parties in Pennsylvania this year, but there is a disposition among Republican leaders to allow the party preference to be freely and fully expressed in the pri maries. Among the most insistent gossip is a story that Judge George Kunkel, of Harrisburg, is being strongly urged for the Supreme Court. He is believed to be the most available from every standpoint ajid all the common pleas Judges, and his friends in all parts of the State are emphasizing the import ance of the selection of such a candi date for the judiciary this year. Judge Robert Frazer, of Pittsburgh, is also being pushed by the Western Pennsyl vania leaders, and James B. Galbreath, of Butler, by Bull Moosers. Demo crats are talking of James B. Relily, of Pottsville. It is practically certain that the three contestants for the United States Senate will be Boles Penrose, Gifford Pinchot and A. Mitchell Palmer, rep repenting the Republican, Washing ton and Democratic parties, respec tively, with the radical progressives having a candidate from Western Pennsylvania. The State Ticket As to the gubernatorial nomination, the consensus of political opinion seems to be that William H. Berry, representing the reorganization fac tion, and Michael J. Ryan, the old guard faction, will fight it out at the primary on the Democratic side with Ryan the present favorite. "B'armer" William T. Creasy wants to be a can didete, too, but will be shunted into a sidetrack for Secretary of Internal Affairs. George W. Guthrie is not showing eagerness to run as yet. Among Republican leaders the situ ation seems to have developed the unusual strength of ex-Governor Ed win S. Stuart, although there are many strong party influences back of Senator William C. Sproul. Neither Stuart nor Sproul is an active candi date. There Is also discussion of lieutenant - Governor Reynolds, Speaker George E. Alter, ex- Auditor General A. E. Slsson, ex-Lieutenant- Governor L. A. Watres and others, but Stuart seems to be the favorite. For Lieutenant-Governor, ex-Sena tor J. S. Fisher, of Indiana; Mayor Frank B. McClain, of Lancaster, and James Scarlet, of Danville, are said to be under consideration in poten tial quarters. Mr. Scarlet says he does not want it. Not a single name is mentioned in opposition to Henry Thinking of Quality These days, most men when they think of a smoke, think of King Oscar 5c Cigars It's the way quality always affects the mind. Its influence is simply irresistible. Think of soap, silver, flour and what not and, the quality kinds are the ones you instinctively, think of. It's a good thing, too.

Factional Trouble* It is fast becoming apparent that the. contest this year is to be unusual, inasmuch as all parties are more or less factional in their present line-up Rapidly the reorganization bosses of the Democratic party are losing their hold upon the masses of Democratic voters, and it -will not surprise many to see this faction unhorsed in tlu> next organization of the State Demo cratic committee. A. Mitchell Palmer, the recognized head of the tion faction, is even now very much in doubt as to whether he can land any of the several places with which his name has been connected. He is mak ing a bold bluff at the strength of the Democratic alignment, but the weakness of the claims of both the Palmer and Washington party leaders is shown in the statement of Palmer that the Roosevelt vote will be 25 per cent, weaker than when the Colonel was running for President, while the Washington party leaders are insist ing that Pinchot is 25 per cent, stronger than Penrose. These varying claims would seem to indicate, if they indicate anything, that the opponents of the Republican party are very wide apart on their estimates. As a matter of fact, there is a lining up of Republicans all over the State to resist the opposing parties, and within the next few weeks It Is ex pected rows in both the Democratic and Washington parties will be in full swing.
