New Battleships fxCeII
 All Others In Power

WASHINGTON. April 2.The new battleships Oklahoma and Nevada are to Le the greatest in the world.
 Powerful in armor and the only yes sells of the kind in the world to carry three fOurJeen-inch guns in one tur- ret, the ships will represent the best thought of both branches Of the ser vice and will marx the continuation oi the dreams Of shipbuildcrs.
 When the New York and Texas were authorized it was thought the zenith Of modern battleship buildin Z had been almost reached, but since the acceptance of the plans for the Oklahoma and Nevada naval authoTi ties now see even greater ships are possible and the novel method of con- StructlOn and armament will start de velopment along new lines.
 Not only will the Oklahoma and Ne vada be as speedy as, but they are also designed to give a better ac- count of themselves Tn all directions, in any engagement in which they may participate, than others in the navy.
 These latest vessels will be 5DD tons heavier than their immediate predeCe essors, the New York aul Texas, their length being over all 5S3; beam o. feet 2-S inches, mean draft of 26 feet inches. on which will be displacement of 27,500 tons The engines of the two new vessels will differ. the Curtis type being used on the Nevada and the reciprocal en- zines being used on the Oklahoma. The estimated speed will be 201-2 knots
 Naval officials show great interest in the armament Of the two vessels, it being declared that their defensive power will have never been equalled. These vessels will carry greater weight of armor than has been car ried. so far as the Navy Department officials know, and it will be dis posed to a much greater advantage. Stability and mobility on warship are two great essentials. but all vcs selS must have a completely pro tecteG complacement of guns. These ideas will be carried out in the OklG- homa and Nevada.
 The belt armor is considered by naval officials to te one of the most important sections Of a battleship, for ii is this that must be relied upon to prevent projecules from striking a vital blow to a vesSel-In the maga- zines. boiler, or engine rooms.

He typifies democratic principles. and no matter what other issues may come up, the reduction of the tariff will be the one upon which a democrat is sure to be chosen in November The people of this country are going to elect a president upon this issue, and in New York state there are many thousands Of republican voters, as there are in any other state in the Union, who will turn to the demo- cratic nominee, if he be Mir.

 Who wipes on thee is slim. How often have we smiled thee round With a mean and vicious twist And whirled again with force enough To dislocate our wrist.

Special Correspondence of the Review WASHINGTON. D. C., April D. Speaker Clark will be nominated by the Democratic convention in Balti- more. This is the belief that is sweep ing Washington and is being im-
 pressed upon politicians in and out of congress. From every section of the country come reports that the Clark sentiment is spreading.
 Reports from many Southern States received at Clark headquarters are exceedingly encouraging, and it Is the belief of the speakers manager that he will get the delegation from several states in the south, as in New England, where the sentiment in favor of the speaker is growing rapidly.
 Many New York members of con gress are assuring the speaker that they will support him for the nomina- ton, and they say that Mir. Clar6 would surely carry the Empire state in the election, if nominated. That he would be the strongest candidate in New York and New England, they declare. is based upon their belief that the principal issue in the campaign will be the high cost of living, and with this a fact, they argue that the speaker would be able 10 get the votes of every democrat in the coun- try and many republicans who are dissatisfied with the conditions, as he did in 1910.

 There was never a time when dem. ocratic prospects of national victory were so promising as they are nov. with the republicans hopelessly di. vided These prospects can be dis. sipated only by sucL a movement IS that which MT Bryan threatens to inaugurate
 But, even If he persists in its we still have ground to hope that de mocracy will win, for the great body Of the democratic party is conserv- alive while the republican party is more equally divided between con- servatism and radicalism
