SUGGESTIONS FOR L. A W. REORGAN
IZATION-A PROMISING ANA
TEUR RIDER.

Thoughtful members of the League Of American
Wheelmen realize that the affairs of that once
great organization have not been conducted as they
should have been. Small politics, jealousies and
chickering's have brought the organization to the
lowest limit in membership seen In years Then
the suicidal policy Of fighting racing, one Of the
best and really the only advertising feature of the
league, helped further to decrease interest in the
doings of the organization. The report in The
Tribune last Saturday of the attempt to do away
with the State divisions has aroused the officials of
the league nothing else has done for a long
time. It is generally believed by veteran members
in this district that the action taken by the Ex-
ecutive Committee of the State Division last Mon
day will find favor in most of the other divisions
and that similar resolutions may be passed in some
Of the other divisions especially the larger ones

Each State could in this way make known its de-

Otto Dorner, former chairman of the League Of
American Wheelman Highway Improvement Com
mittee is still active in his work for good roads
His latest achievement was to secure with the aid
of State Senator Stout a good roads plank in the
Republican State platform of Wisconsin. The
section adopted is follows I'VE believe that
the demand for better highways made by the
farmers Of wisconsin should be encouraged by the
State favOrng an improvement of great prac-
ucal value for agricultural interests This is the
first State plank secured, but nearly all of the
League Of American Wheelmen divisions work
ing to secure them from each Of the parties, This
work is preparatory to the effort to secure an ap-
preparation for highway improvement from the
next Congress. 1t is also placing the good roads
movement on systematic and solid foundation
