WILSON TO STAY CLEAR
OF MIXING IN ARMS MEET
Washington, Nov. 2.-—Woodrow
Wilson has decided to adopt every
precaution against laying himself
•'pen lo tho accusation or suggestion
of ‘'meddling*’ in tho conference on
limitation of armament opening here
two week'- henec.
From a source, close to the former
president, it was learned today that
Mr. Wilsbn will keep himself entire-
*y in t<|p background for the time be
ing, and have no contact, either so-
•ial ay otherwlud, with the dla-
tinguished foreign visitors now flock
ing Into Washington for the sessions
;t is to this determined policy that
’iia friend! attribute Uls failure to
receive Mars.ial Foch when the flix
tingnlehed ailed Vader called at hie
10 me.
While Mr. Wllsem’s health 1# In
part responsible for this policy of
rigid seclusion, the probable reason
tor it, according to his fionds, is that
the former president does not wish to
give tie slightest excuse fo the ery
being ralsedi that he "is meddling"
with the eonfeenc*.
Watson to have "sat in" on the three-
cornered conference and who at the
same time i a political friend and
supporter of Gov. Thomas W. Hard
wick, has been I >arned something
of the inside of Senator Watson’s
recent criticism of the Hardwick ad
ministration and wi:^ there is reason
to believe that ' split”* is going fur
ther. At the same time an inkling
is had of just what is that is run
ning through Senator Watson’s mind
n formulating his indictment of ”dis-
latUfaction” with the present admin
istration.
When he published his attack upou
the Hardwick- administration, Sena
tor Watson wrote Into his indictment
four specific counts, aside from the
Joint Indictment that Governor Hard
wick’s appointments have been out
side of Mr. Watson's friends, infer
ring at least that tho appointments
liavo gone more to Wason “enemies”
than to his support/ 1 's. The specific
count3 in the Indict:.nef of tlio ad
ministration under the general charge
that “campaign premises" have not
been kept.
1. That the governor has failed
to clean out the cn.pitol; that he has
net gotten rid of the alleged useless
boards end commissions.
2. That ho lias failed to bring
about n repeal of the state tax equal
ization law end thereby wipe out tho
S00 or more county equalizers.
3. That he ban failed to. have
passed a t ec textbook bill so tlmt
children may 1m* supplied with text
books 111 the nubile schools.
4. *P*'rit he has brought about 11
law providing for pawning five veurs
of rent'money of the Western Itnd At-
Iontie Railroad, thereby cndungcir.g
that property to tho ltindemnco of
the welfare of thb public schools of
tho state.
