ANOTHER WILSON VICTORY

President Wilson more definitely than
ever the leader of the democratic party.
The wholesome effect of the tolls fight
upon the democratic organization in the
house is already apparent. On every
hand it is recognized that it is only
under the Wilson leadership that the
democratic party can hope to retain the
confidence of the country and its posi-.
ton as the party in power. Champ
Clark voiced this significantly even while
opposing the presidents position when,
in his speech against the bill, he drily
remarked that the success of this admin
istration would make Mr.. Wilson's re-
election certain and if the administra-
ton should be a failure the democratic
nomination in 1916 would not be worth
