POLITICAL MISSION
Strengthening Party Organization.

Frank H. Hitchcock's trip to the West.
extending 10 the Pacific Coast, is polit-
misunderstanding political
As Postmaster General, he will visit
the post offices Of the larger cities and
attend a postal convention, but these
features Of his trip are incidental
Primarily his purpose is 10 get into
complete touch with political conditions.
On a similar trip to the Coast a few
months ago he took occasion in a speech
in the far Northwest to pay earnest and
eloquent tribute to his colleague in the
Cabinet. Richard A. Ballinger. and the
gossip recently current that one of his
objects now is TO supplement the effort
OF Senator Crane TO induce Secretary
Ballinger TO resign, is wholly unfounded.
Hitchcock is a steadfast supporter OF
Ballinger. He doubtless sees. as every
body else sees. that a change in the
Secretaryship would be politically profit
able at this particular juncture, but it is
understood here in Washington that he
does not share the view that It would
materially affect the November elections.
Hitchcock's status as the real head of
the party organization, by virtue Of his
craftsmanship of the national committee,
Is somewhat peculiar. He has not been
in accord with all the stalwarts or regu-
lars, nor persona grata with all the in
surgents. Officially he has alienated
many Congressman by his handling Of
the patronage. Some statesmen very
close to the White House have more
than once expressed their opinion of
Hitchcock TO the President in unqualified
terms and suggested his dismissal for
the good Of the party. But such a dis
gruntled element is an incident Of every
Kew administration.
Hitchcock is a regular, of course, and
in his role of chairman must see 10 It
that the organization is strengthened
wherever possible. The management Of
the Congressional campaign devolves
upon the Congressional committee, head
ed by Chairman Mckinley, whose chief

Later, when the complete Longworth
statement was submitted. Mr.. Cannon
called his private secretary and for the
next hour they went over the matter.
Mr.. Cannon then dictated a reply which
suited him. This he gave out. with the
added statement that he hopes this would
prove satisfactory. The Speaker said:
