THE BATTLEsHIP TANGLE.

The Two Battleship Democrats In
the House Of Representatives are still
vainly struggling TO break away from
the dead hand Of caucus subserviency.
They are suffering from a fatal lack
Of foresight, for II they had known
last winter that the Democratic lead
ers would persist in an unpatriotic and
unpopular effort 10 cripple the navy
they would have absolyed themselves
at the outset from the caucus test. 1t
was n violation Of all precedents at
Washington 10 make the question Of
maintaining the navy q strictly parti-
san one. Party lines had never before
been drawn on such questions, and
Mr.. Sulzcr and his associates should
have been w1deawake enough TO de-
cline 10 take part In a caucus called
to consider a non-political issue like
making provision for the support and
expansion OF the navy.
1t looks as II the Democratic leaders
in the House would not be able 10
hold out much longer against public
opinion. They would have been driven
TO surrender at once If Mr.. Wilson had
had the courage TO take up the Demo
cratic platform in MS speech Of ac-
ceptance and say TO what extent its
pledge ITO maintain an adequate and
well-propOrtioned navy ought TO be
observed. With characteristic indirec-
ton the candidate lodged the navy
issue entirely. 1t is explained that he
didn't want TO get caught lin the navy
tangle." Definite proposals Of any sort
are contrary 10 his inclinations as an
ofiiceseeker. So he decided 10 LET the
party in the House shift for itself on
the battleship question. Apparently be
thinks that Il will be safer 10 talk
about the needs of the navy from q
Democratic point Of view after Con-
gress has adjourned.
