DEMOCRATS SURE TO WIN
WILSON TELLS LEADERS
sOur Constructive Work Has Started
An Irresistible Movement Whlch
Cannot be stopped" Says the
President.

Washington, Dec. S.-President VII
non told members of the Democratic
National Committee at luncheon IN
the State dining room of the White
House today that the Republicans had
no issue for the next campaign ex-
cept the tariff and that Democracy
was certain to win.
sour constructive work has started
IN Irresistible movement which can
mot be stopped" he declared. ANY
one who tells you otherwise Is talk
ing through his hat"
Mr.. Wilson said nothing to indicate
whether he would again be q cand1-
date for the Presidency.
Throughout his entire talk, which
dealt with subjects ranging from DEM
ocratic chances of victory to eatures
Of the isolated life of a chief executive
The President was informal. Taking
his place at the head Of the table, he
thrust his hands into his trouser pock-
cts, cast aside what he termed his
+dress parade" language, and talked
freely and conf1dentially.
Democrats of all factions greeted
his remarks enthusiastically. They
left the White House in buoyant sp1r-
Its, declaring that his optimism had
inspired them with new confidence.
It was the first time, committeeman
said, that their body had been receiv-
ed as a whole in the White House.
They expressed regret that the text Of
the Presidents speech would not be
given out, as they regarded it as q
vigorous campaign argument.
At the outset the President said he
wanted the members to feel that they
were q part of a big family of which
he was a member. He asked whether
anyone present could suggest any
campaign argument other than the
tariff which the democratic opposition
could advance, and they shook their
heads. Nobody knew at this time, he
added, what sort Of tarih measure
must be framed to meet changing
conditions resulting from the war.
Discussing parties and policies gem
orally, the President insisted that the
democratic view was that the majority
should rule, while that of their op-
ponents was that "board of trustees"
should act for the people.
AOuSAAA6 UpOA LuO 0nOAACdA QAOD-
lem, he said this same majority rule
should apply in Mexico as we'll as this
country, without regard to the wishes
of persons residing in other countries
who hold Mexican property. He ex-
pressed the belief that in due time
peace would come in Mexico, when
the people were thoroughly tired OF
raising disturbances.

nittee. Leaders declared tonight ru-

LEJEUNE, WORLDS
 CHAMPION THROWER, A
 FAILURE IN BIG LEAGUES

It will be five years tomorrow since Sheldon Lejeune. of the Evansville ball club set. up a new worlds record by throwing a baseball a distance Of 426 feet g. 1-2 inches This feat was performed at field meet held on the grounds of the Cincinnati Reds, Octo-3 Der g, 1910, and has been accepted as a record by the authorities4 Le- Jeune's performance was better. by 26 feet 2 1-2 inches than the best pre- vious record. hung up in October, York Mutuals, who propelled the pel- let 400 feetS7 1-2 inches at a throw tourney held aon the Union ball field in Brooklyn. ~z syNs-e2s Es4 esstt
 Lejeune, by reason of his record of smashing stunt, was looked upon as a conner in baseball, but he has never arrived. The champion long distance baseball tfrower has had three chances in the maj jors, and has been released as many times. He was signed by Brooklyn for the 1911 sea son, but failed to make good,s and was turned back to the minors. His last appearance in the big show was with the Pirates last spring In 1914 Le-. jeuue. wasz Nttm SSdouxsC Cftx;Sei in s1he- Western League, and yhis- stick work was largely instrumental in winning the pennant for the club headed by Josh Clarke. brother of the famous Fred. Leieune batted for an Average of S61 ,Iand led the circuit in hitting, among the players who had partic1- pated in more than a hundred games. Although Lejeune had had two chances in the majors, and failed to get away with it, his work last year made him look pretty good to Fred

Clark, and he decided to relieve Brother Josh of his star swatter. Le- jeune again stubbed his toe and fell down, however and in May Brother Fred told Brother Josh he could take his star.
 At the famous field meet of five years ago LeJeune made two trials before he succeeded in betterings the old throwing record. His first throw was 385 feet 3 Inches, against the wind. At his second attempt he fell a couple of feet short of his first mark. The referee then gave the young player permission to throw with the wind and Lejeune broke, the record by throwing the ball 401 feet 4 1-2 inches. Still he was not satis- fled, and after warming up bit again threw the ball, which this time went 426 feet g 1-2 inches. before it stop ped rolling. About two years before within a few inches of it by throwing the ball Ses feet 10 3-4 inches.
 John Hatdeld's throwing record, made in 1872, stood as the official mark until Lejeune bested it. but in the interval several players claimed
 to have bettered it. Some thirty years ago Ed Crane and Larry, Twitchell are said to have thrown a ball 406 feet and 1-2 inch and 4Os feet, re- spectively. but these figures were never acce pted as official. Hatfield was not the only oId-time player who had great throwing arm. Andy Leonard, of the old Bos- ton champions of the '7os, hung up a record of 35s feet 10 inches. The baseball throwing records sur pass any ever hung up by British cricketers by many feet. The longest throw of cricket ball was S96 feet, made by Forbes of Oxford University nearly forty years ago. He threw the ball with fair wind in his favor. so that
