WASHINGTON. Nov 10 A prominent
meniber Of the Administration il au-
thority for the statement that imms-
diat-ly after the return Of President Taft
from Panama 7'sps will be taken to re-
store order in the h. publican party. The
first move in this dir. "tion will he an
effort to harmonic the iactional differ

Senate Republicans remains to be deter
mined. In their attitude toward the
Administration tn. Senate progres-ives
have shown disposition to criticise
Pr--iden, Tafts policies and it il recalled
with some bitterness that in the recent
campaign Democratic text books and
speeches were loaded with extracts from

The work Of restoring order out Of
done under the direction Of the President
II present plans ar. carried out he will
have as his advisers members OF his
Cabinet. party leaders in a number OF
States and representatives OF the two
factions IN Congress.
There are some members Of the Admin
lstration who express the belief that the
party can be whipped into good fighting
trim by 1912. Az least they insist that the
President and his immediate supporters
would be derelct in their duty il they
failed to adopt every available measure
to repair the ship that was so badly
wrecked on Tuesday. Those who take
this view suggest that the Republican
nat ional committee he converted into a
live political organization and that it's
affairs be placed In the hands Of n strong
man. who shall give all his time and
attention To II during the next few days.
II IN recalled that during Mark Hanna's
incumbency of rhe chalrmanshIp Of the
nat ional committee that organization
was kept in good trim between campaigns
