The President and 1916.
 Cleveland Plain Dealer.)

Many months ago a democratic leader at Washington supposedly un- friendly to President Wilson declared that if the president made a success of this administration none but the president could secure the party nom ination in 1916; and that if he made failure the nomination would not be worth having. The situation has not changed since then.
 It need cause 70 surprise anywhere that democrats in positions of author ity are looking forward confidently to President Wilson's renomination two years from now. That nomination belongs to the president by every rule known to politics. It would be sheer foolish evasion for them, or for any one else, to pretend otherwise.
 The big issue of the 1916 campaign will be the record of the present administration. The man above aTi others responsible for that record w1Ay be President Wilson. The national

to the secretary of state by Major Louis E. Stoddard, the treasurer of the state democratic ticket, is cor rectly phrased. Eighteen hundred dollars in the party chest at the close of the campaign? Holy smoke! Who ever heard of such a thing? It has been the practice of our party treas urers since the days of old Rameses to bring the balance in the till at the close of a campaign just as near as possible to nothing. This modern
 military Rameses, it seems, has oper-
 ated upon the exactly opposite theory,
 and while we cannot close our eyes to
 the charm of the principle involved,
 it is impossible to close our ears to
 the shrieks of horror that arise from
 the political trenches where the boys
 have been fighting. Eighteen hum
 dred dollars unexpended and within
 reach? Holy smoke! A new vision
 has overtaken the democratic party
 in Connecticut as we'll as in Washing
 ton. All of which reminds us of the experience of citizen of New Ha- ven who helped in 1896 to finance the
 gold democratic party. At the close
 of the campaign the treasurer remit
 ted to him his share of the surplus after the payment of all bills. He re-
 marked that for the first time he was made suspicious of democratic integ- rity; that nothing short of an expert on the books of the treasurer would
 satisfy hN1 that the political cam paign had been conducted in the spirit the surplus would tend to suggest. As we have an excellent police force in New Haven we shall look to see Major Stoddard protected against the other wise justifiable anger of the men who were looking for and didn't get the sWag. These be hard times indeed

ticket will stand or fall by the merits of that record.
 If the president has made good he will be entitled to reelection, follow ing the practice of more than a cen tury and quarter of political his- tory. If failure is written across the the record, the president will deserve defeat and popular disapproval could be visited upon none other with equal propriety.
 For any democrat to dispute with the president the honor of leading their party in 1916 would be folly, unless his intention is merely to de- stroy. No constructive purpose could possibly be served by such a contest.
 This is time for friends of the ad- ministration to close up ranks, face forward and march in step with the music of the new era. The nomi- nations for democratic national leader have already been closed.

 the swiftness and capacity on the

The efficiency in war E supmarines is no longer a matter zpf doubt, and the recent marine oper- FEtionssin European waters have tended sto justify the opinion of many naval this type are to be more useful in warfare than the dreadnought. The naval appropriations bill passed in the last session of congress, as an- nounced in the Washington dispatches of the Times, authorized the con- .struction of eight new submarines, in- cluding "a fleet submarine of not less than twenty knots speed" The de- signs and specifications for this new engine of war have been completed. Ii will be 300 feet long, with a dis placement of 1,2OO tons, and will be able to accompany battleship fleet wherever it goes. There could be no more gratifying navy news than this
 The submarine boat for naval use is practically an American invention. J. F. Hollands model upon which the first of this sort was built here in 1877, was a development of the earlier designs of Bushnell and Fulton, but European navies have thus far paid more attention to the construction of submarines than our own. We have fifty now while England undoubtedly has more than the eighty-five credited to her in the naval statistics of last year, and France must have been in creasing her fleet of ninety. How many Germany has is purely matter of conjecture, but the work of destruc- lion thus far accomplished by her sub- marines constitutes one of the many marvels of this war If our own fleet submarine" equals expectations we should spare no pains to strengthen the offensive power to our navy with more boats of that class.

INJURIES PROVE FATAL.
Illinois Woman Struck Down With
 Iron Wrench Dies Today.

Aurora, Ill.,, Nov. 20.-Miss Jennie Miller, who was struck down with an iron wrench and left unconscious in the yard of the Free Methodist church here Wednesday night, died today. She had not spoken since the attack. Miss Miller, fifty-five years old, was the daughter of a former mayor of the town and was considered wealthy.
 To the last minute physicians tried to bring the woman back to consciousness that she might give some clue as to the identity of her assailant. A delicate operation, in which two pieces of bone pressing on her brain were removed, failed to produce the effect desired.
