The Democratic Nominee.

President Wilson will be nominated for another
term by the Democratic National Convention at St.
Louis just four months hence. That is as certain
as anything can be certain in human affairs. The
letter he sent yesterday to the Secretary OF State
OF Ohio authorizing the OF his name by can
didates for election delegates to the conven-
tion removed whatever shadow Of doubt may have
existed as to the identity OF the Democratic nomi-
nee. There never has been any doubt that the
President could have denomination if he would
accept it, and it apparent that he would ac-
ccpt from the day be began his tour OF speech
making in the interest OF preparedness which serv-
ed also a test OF the strength OF any opposition
Mr.. Bryan might be able to arouse upon the only
issue possible for him to present
1t now seems scarcely possible that the Presi-
dent will be opposed at St. Louis. He is the chi
bodimcnt OF the Democratic party and its policies;
all its policies, in fact, his policies 1t would
be travcsty to ask the people to indorsc them
and elect another as their representative in the
White House. SO, TOO it is right that the Prcsi-
dent should be the one to take the risk Of falling
with them if they to be rejected Therefore,
there can be no other candidate.
The manner of the Presidents announcement
OF his intentions does him credit The laws of
Ohio made ii almost imperative for him to de-
fine his position and this he did with a dignity and
modesty that must favorably impress the coun-
try. He will not enter contest for the nomna-
tion, but he authorizes the OF his
candidate, and thus the people may choose their
convention delegates Understandings.
The certain knowledge OF the man and the
issues they to oppose is not without value to
the Republicans, though in the matter Of strategic
position the Democrats today enjoy appre ciablc
advantage. Certain OF candidate and issues, they
may proceed though their ticket already
in the field, while their opponents are at sea with
half dozen Presidential possibilities to choose
from and confronted by the certainty of bitter
fight at Chicago Only permitted to guess a,
what type of Republican will win in the conven-
ton their campaign plans must wait on haymakine
time for the Democrats Unless the crystallizatior
process soon sets i'll and the G. o. ?. is given an
opportunity to find out where it is at the con-
fdent predictions OF some OF the leaders may
only rise to mock them next November.

Contemplating a Serious Step.

That the United States government will take
any action that may be interpreted recognition
of the right asserted by Germany and Austria to
sink without warning the merchant ships OF enemy
nations because they carry the ordinary defense
gun that has always been part of their legal
equipment in peace and war; the American people
will be slow to believe. A warning to American
citizens that they take passage on these vessels
at their own risk would constitute such recogni-
ton, as would the closing of our ports to ships
to can be looked forward to only with
gravest apprehension. .. ...
Acquiescence by the United States in this new
piratica policy OF the Teutons it would seem,
must be followed by the arming of the allies mer-
chantmen, that they would become formidable
ships of The next step we we'll may hesi-
tate to conjecture. Perhaps the smallest dis
aster to be anticipated would be the complete sus-
pension OF commerce between the United States
and Europe. Should the allies limit the armament
OF their merchantmen, some of them, to an
equipment that would still admit them to our
ports Americans who cross the seas would no
doubt prefer an armed to unarmed ship OF a
bcgerent nation, even if any OF the latter were
availabe for the Tcutonic warning can only mean
indiscriminatc attack upon all enemy vessels at
every opportunity. In they would be
murdered while defcnseless; in the other they
would have fighting chance.
Even if it should develop, when the text OF the
Teutonic notes made public, that ships carry
ing the ordinary defense gun not to be regard
ed as armed, that the Tcutonic warning applies
only to vessels suspected OF carrying more effec-
tive weapons, the situation will be scarcely less
threatening. The submarine commanders will
make mistakes" or they will think" something to
justify another Lusitania crime if they find them
selves in position to perpctratc it. The guns OF
the allies would be the only protection for Ameri-
cans forced to travel on the high seas, and our
hope would have to be that there would be plenty

the government but those men who advocated
government for the people, not by the people, more
than century ago, spoke behind closed doors and
their speeches not given to the public for
many years; nor did they succeed in having the
government shaped in their way to shut out the
masses of the people.
The speakers on Sunday had courage, If
not more discretion, and coured publicity for their
views in opposition to the Lincoln idea. They
feared that the masses could not be trusted to
deal with important government questions con-
cerning their own welfare, and they urged Con-
gress not to submit the Sheppard bill to the peo-

The Voice of the People.

The mass meeting held at a local thcater Sun
day afternoon unique 1t was for the purpose
of urging Congress not to submit to the people Of
the District OF Columbia important legislation con-
corning their own affairs. Mass meetings are sup
posed to be for the purpose OF voicing public sen-
mcnt not suppressing that voice; but the mass
meeting held on Sunday was to appeal to Com
gress not to listen to tho petitions of the people
of the District
The time chosen for this meeting may have
been without thought TO the date, but it was
the day which the newspapers published re-
ports OF celebrations of Lincoln's Birthday in all
parts OF the country, when Southern men WED with
Northern men in tributes to the great cmanci-
pator, and when the school children were rcciting
the immortal Gettysburg speech with its closing
words, Government of the people, by the people,
for the people shall not perish from the earth"
The speakers at the mass meeting on Sunday
overlooked Lincoln and his idea of American gov
ernment. Apparently they went back in history
to the convention which framed the Constitution
when some OF the delegates profcsscd to see great
danger in giving the people too large a part in
