EX-PRESIDENT WILSON RUSSO-ASIATIC BANK
MR. MARCOSSON'S. PEN-PORTRAIT, | CAPITAL (FULLK-PAID)
I first met Woodrow Wilson in 1911, when he was Governor of New Jersey, wrote Mr. Isaac F. Marcosson, one of the best known of
journalism
With the almost a suddenness
which accompanies publicity in America he had been projected from the academie of a college presidency into the quiet Hero light that beats about national polities. He was a Presidential possibility. When Wilson was a struggling lawyer in one of our Southern States he saw the vision of a national career, rounded out with the goal that is the dream of every American school boy-the Presidency.
PREPARATION.
Then began a definite campaign of pre parationslow, sometime stolid, but always persistent. Thou who know Wood- rew Wilson best-and they are not many know that he has always felt himself to be more or less a Mait of Political Des tiny His elevation to the highest office in the gift of the people was the final act

THE MAN AND HIS METHODS. Let me illustrate. When I first met the President I had been assigned "" ta write a magazine interview with him. It was an important moment in his career, millions would read what he said. As a matter of fact, his utterances became a campaign document. His procedure was characteristic of what he did in real crises.

Like most American public mea, bo spoke frankly. When I submitted the manuscript of the interview to him ho almost completely revised it because he had changed his mind about the various subject.
