Now York World: But wo can
sco nothing shocking in giving this
frank answer to a plain question.
Presumably Col. Harvey wanted the
truth when he asked the question.
Presumably Governor Wilson be
lieved ho was telling tho truth when
he answered.
"Ingratitude!" arises tho chorus
of Governor Wilson's shocked op
ponents. Wo should be far from
shocked even if we could discover
Ingratitude in Governor Wilson's
position.
Ingratitudo is ono of tho rarest
virtues of public life. "Gratitude"
is responsible for many of our worst
political abuses. Upon "gratitude"
is built every corrupt political ma-

chine; upon "gratitudo" is founded
tho power of every ignorant -and
unscrupulous boss; in "gratitude" is
rooted the system of spoils, of log
rolling, of lobbying. Lorimer was
elected by "gratitude." Payne-Ald-rich
bills are passed for "gratitude."
Harriman campaign funds are raised
for "gratitude." The great majority
of the voices which are denouncing
Wilson's ingratitude are the voices
of machine politicians, chief among
whose stock in trade is this "grati
tude." No, what we need in public life is
a great deal more of discriminating
ingratitude. Such "ingratitude" as
gave Charles B. Hughes the confi
dence of the people when he opposed
the bosslets who had helped to elect
him; such "ingratitude" as gave
Governor "Wilson himself the ap
plause of the people when ho de
feated for the senatorship Jim Smith,
who had helped to elect him.
New York Evening Post: The
American people can hardly be
called upon to throw overboard one
of the most promising candidates for
the next presidency simply because
he gave to a plain question a plain
answer. "I have from Col. Harvey
and Governor Wilson," says Col.
Watterson, "statements according to
the memory of each touching what
did actually happen and was spoken
on tho occasion named. These do
not materially differ. They coincide
with my own recollection." Let us
have these statements, and let the
public judge whether what Wilson
said was simply the frank utterance
of a truth in reply to a friend's can
did request for information, or, as
so many eagerly hasten to assert, a
deliberate act of selfishness or in
gratitude. And in the meanwhile,
let it be remembered that this affair
is but the latest of a series of bombs
exploded at the feet of Governor
Wilson, which, whatever else they
may be, are an indisputable evidence
of the formidable character which
his prospects for the presidency have
assumed in the eyes of his enemies.

Louisville Evening Post: Tho cir
cumstance reveals to the people a
leader w.ho is an uncompromising
truth teller; a man self-reliant, and
courteous and candid; a man not
subservient to practical politicians
and discarded party leaders seeking
new alliances; a man who does not
surrender personal responsibility for
any of his acts even to political as
sociates who presume on a real or
an imaginary personal and political
intimacy.
Of that stuff great men are made,
and if the democrats are seeking a
great man for leader; one of intel
lectual POWer. WllOflft onraar- mn1rn
him available, they may see him por
trayed in this account of a con
ference strictly confidential, tho re
velations from it leaving Governor
Wilson untouched, and Watterson
and Harvey thoroughly discredited.
Nfi'wnyir fKT T m.. r
mi," -" . -tuvumilg-lNeWS:
The charge made by Col. Watterson
that Governor Wilson is no Til den
but an "lngrate" (familiar word)
no statesman, but a school-master, is
Bimply confirmatory evidence of
Wilson's determination to put poli
cies above politics, principles above
partisanship, an attitude 0 mind
utterly Incomprehensible to the old
lino politician.
II amounts to a renewed pledge
to the citizens that Governor Wilson
will not recognize partisan obliga
tions as binding upon 'him. whon
fulfilling those obligation?' mTans
putting a man in office whose policies
and sympathies run counter to hia
own.
Wilson should thank Wa(tterson
and Harvey for their carefully laid
little plan to get a statement from
him and publish broadcast his warn
ing to professional politicians of all
classes that they need not serve him
if they expect personal gain thereby.
Newark (N. J.) Star (Senator
Smith's paper) : As a critic, in view
of the circumstances, he (Col.
Watterson) is outspoken. Ho got
his impressions then and there.
"Governor Wilson is not a man to
make common cause with his politi
cal associates" or to be "deeply sen
sible of his political obligations."
Col. Watterson makes this state
ment, as he says, reluctantly and
with the feeling that it was "needful
to a full and impartial knowledge
by the public, but more especially by
the mass and body of democrats who
are earnestly seeking a leader in the
coming contest." Col. Watterson's
high character as a public man, his
long and distinguished services to
the democratic party," and his repu
tation for open candor all give
weight to his words, which hardly
require further comment.
Baltimore Sun: January 16 tho
current number of Harper's ex
plained that Governor Wilson had
stated directly "that our support
was affecting his candidacy injuri
ously." Jan. 18 was published Mr. Wat
terson's statement. On the same
date we also published in our morn
ing edition the statement of Mayor
Dahlman of Omaha, Neb., that the
action of Mr. Harvey is "the collapse
of the Wilson boom." Simultane
ously appear the criticism of Mr.
Shea, a prominent democrat of Wil
kesbarre, and the . remarks of Mr.
Matt J. Regan, "recognized leader
of the Bryan democrats of Wiscon
sin," that the incident "would cost
this state to Wilson," and the de
nunciation of I. T. Jones, "speaking
for the Iowa democratic state cen
tral committee."
These condemnations, made simul
taneously in different parts of the
country, before tho accused had been
