LOOKING -FOUR YEARS AHEAD

Savannah. Ga. November 22.-Be-
lleving that the Democratic party
should now prepare for the fight
which will come in 1916. William F..
McCombs. chairman Of the nation
al Democratic committee, this morn
ing stated that the office In New
York would be made permanent, and
offices will be opened in Washington
in n short time.
"On my way North about Monday
am going to stop over In Washing
ton and make the plans for the OPEN
ing OF the Office there" he said, "at
that time l will also take up the de-
tail e inaugural parade Of which
l, as chairman, will be one Of the d.
rectors."
Mr.. McCombs. in explaining his rea-
son for planning to open permanent
offices for the national committee at
Washington and maintaining perma-
nent Offices at New York, said:
With offices in these cities, the
committee will be an active factor in
the party and will at all times be at
work. There Is great deal Of work
that can be done by it In the next
four years and with this committee
hard at work keeping in touch with
the affairs OF the country, l see no
reason why the Democratic party
should not remain In power for twenty
years. In my opinion 1T Is impos-
slble for n party or n committee to
pick up the tangled skein of po-
litcal affairs two or three months be-
fore campaign and do efficient
work"
MIR McCombs left tonight for At
