William Allen White is continuing the organization of the party in Kansas. He agrees that George W. Perkins has done good work for the party and should remain in a leadership position. White does not believe that Woodrow Wilson can succeed as president and his failure will damage the Democrats to a degree that will provide great opportunities for the Progressives in 1914 and 1916.
