Recent developments very clearly indicat,
that Governor Odell has taken up the task
| Of reorganizing the Republican party IN
Greater New York II will be the hope OF
every loyal Republican that he will not cease
his Efforts until the organization Is given a
thorough overhauling. even II the process
should cause Senator Plat and the members
or his cabinet divers pangs OF pain. Until,
some OF the discredited men who have be-
come leaders Of the party In Gotham are
driven out and capable. trustworthy men
men whom the people can trust and In whom
they can place confdenoe-are substituted

When Governor Odell was made chairman
OF tho Executive Committee Of the Repub-
lican State Committee he found the New
York Republican organization In fine shape.
When he became chairman Of the Repub.
hcan State Committee he spoke In fair
words Of the New York Republican county
machinery. Governor 0dell was then on
pleasant terms with all OF the Republican
leaders Of the borough. and 1t was not until
last fall that he thought anything was
askew down this way in Republican ma
chine circles. The Governor In his speech
At the Republican Club shortly after last
election day criticised the Republican
below the Bronx for the small
vote in his favor, forgetting that he had
attacked every interest in the State during
his first term as Governor except the farm
ers. Every interest that had dollar In the
bank or dime in the sock was threatened
by Mr.. Odells first administration as Gov
srnor. And. then, too, during the cam
paign ii came about that the Republican
Governor Of the State Of New York-it

II is known that Governor Oderl within
