Personal View of President
Wilson's Official Life
A brief sketch of the intimate life
of Woodrow Wilson, who bills tail* to
us vigorously prosecute as he did to
keep the nation out of war, will prove
interesting reading.
The oldest attaches of the white
house regard him as the most meth
odical, systematic, time-saving execu
tive within their memories.
From the first ot his administra
tion. the Mexican difficulties and the
European war have added immeasur
ably to the duties of the president,
but he has managed to maintain a
strict schedule for his working hours;
he never has been known through per
sonal fault to he late »vith an engage
ment and has religiously conserved
his time.
A white house caller, booked 'or a
live minute interview with many a
president otten got an hour, if one
arranges a five minute interview with
Mr. Wilson, one gets exactly five min
utes -no more and the way is clear
ed for the next caller.
He never has been out oi touch with
the nation s business. W hen at his
summer homes a stall ot secretaries,
was close at hand. All during his
first term the president was not awa\
from the white house more than two
weeks at a time.
His everyday life is a natural one
for a man who never has been
wealthy and has grown up :n an
atmosphere of regularity ami natural
living.
His insistence on promptness con
trasts with the more or less carefree
habits of some of his predecessors.
When the cabinet meets his advisers
are frequently early, but seldom late.
The president, now sixty years old,
is very healthy, and his only weak

nesses are of the stomuch and eyes.
Society has no charms for Mr. Wil
son, and for society with a capital
“S” he has a positive aversion. On
more than one occasion his failure to
hide his findings has been noticeable.
He avoids all social functions when
ever possible.
As a breaker of precedents Mr.
Wilson set official Washington agasp
by abolishing the usual inaugural ball,
followed by declining membership in
some so-called exclusive clubs which
had always claimed the membership
of presidents.
He greatly decreased the number
of army and navy officers assigned to
the white house as aides, until less
than half a dozen remain. Mr. Wil
son abolished the motorcycle guard
which used to surround the president’s
car.
When he began the custom of de
livering his addresses to congress in
person he revived a custom which had
lie<i with Washington and Adams.
His fondness for directness of action
hits led to the shattering of many
jther precedents.
Never has he relaxed any of the
customs which make for respect and
honor for the high office, but he has
shattered many precedents in the in
terest of direct action.

DONOHUE IS NOT
EXPECTING ANY
SERIOUS CONTEST
The following article regarding the
delcgateship appeared in the Wash
ington (1). C.) Post of March 2*2:
It will, of course, make no differ
ence in the vote on the speakership,
but the republicans are probably go
ing to lose one of the present accredi
ted membership of the next congress.
The reports from Alaska are that
Delegate Wickersham, who was given
a certfiicate of election, will after all
not take his seat. The district court
of Alaska has decided that Charles A.
Sulzer, a brother of former (iov. W il
liam Sulzer, of New York, on the fact*
of the returns was elected by a ma
jority of nineteen votes. T. J. Dono
hue, democratic national committee
man for Alaska, who is at the Wil
lard, received a telegram from Mr.
Sulzer yesterday, in which it war
stated that the latter would be here in
time to be sworn in at the opening
of the session a week from Monday.
“I do not apprehend that there will
be any serious contest over the seat
ing of Mr. Sulzer,” said Mr. Donohue
‘‘but if Mr. Wickersham makes a con
test we are prepared to furnish j
enough evidence to convince any com -;
mittee that Mr. Sulzer was fairly j
elected. To start with, the democrats
claimed the election ot Sulzer, but a
democratic canvassing board com
posed of Gov. Strong, Surveyor Gen-1
oral Davidson and Collector of tin
i
Port Pugh, in defiance of all preced
ent and an opinion of the attorney!
general, gave a certificate of election
to Wickersham. We appealed to the
distinct court and the other day a de
cision was handed down rejecting the
votes of six precincts—Keggiung,
Nushagak. Bonnifield, Deering, Utica
and Vault—on the ground that they
had not a sufficient number of votes
under the Australian ballot system to
entitle them to recognition. This was
according to precedent, and was also
justified because the ballots returned
were typewritten and irregular.
“Mr. Sulzer is 39 years old and
went from New York to Alaska fifteen
years ago. right after graduation. He
has made good there.“
