L 10 Be Drafted by Law Com
mittee for National Com
I! mittee Of the Party.
[BI Charles Brooks smlth.l


WASHINGTON Nov, ia har-
bInger OF the meeting OF the Repub-
liean national committee, which is TO
be held in Washington December l6,
viii be In evidence insshis city tomor-
row when the law committee OF the
national committee hold a session.
This committee Is empowered TO draft
an opinion as to whether the national
committee has the power to change
the basis of representation at Repub-
lican national conventions; whether
II can change the method OF selecting
delegates. and whether 1t has power
to call special national convention
probably next spring, for considera-
ton of the two previous questions II
is believed that the committee will
report that he naional committee has
only the power to call the convention,
and not the power to do the other two
things mentioned
The committee which meets here is
composed OF Charles B. Warren, of
Michigan; Representative Mann, OF
Illinois; Senator Jones, of Washing
ton; Roy West OF Chicago; and James
A Fowler, of Illinois, saa
The meeting OF this committee is
the first firm and formal step of the
Republican party toward putting its
house in order. and getting ready for
the complete and harmonious amaIga-
nation Of Its ranks, which the recent
elections showed conclusively was in
the process OF rapid development
L
There isn't chance to pass cur
-rency bill at this session-not a
chance. 1t is now evident that the
Senate banking and currency commit
tee will not accept the House bill as
the president demands The organiza-
ton of the federal board and the num-
Der Of regional banks are two points
that have been agreed upon by the,
committee at one time only to be dis
agreed upon at another. The biggest
question OF all-the organization and
control of the regional banks--re-
mains unanswered. The latest move
TO force the committee made by the
president is to call for party caucus.
which is to be held Wednesday, it is
now announced. Thus the measure,
! II WOulQ appear - 10 De IHdqef u party
one. which the president and his
Spokesman in the Senate have main
tanned all along would not be done
II the Democrats are determined on
making the currency bill party
measure, and will insist on. iamming
the Glass-owen bill through the SEN
ate under whip and spur, they may
expect a strong resistance on the part
OF the Republicans. II Is the inten-
ton of the Republicans on the COM
nittee to frame a currency bill which
will call for from one to four regional
reserve banks. the stock to be owned
by the public, and the control of these
banks to be in the hands Of the gov
eminent officials. It is the belief Of
the senators that the Democrats and
the president will have hard time
justifying their support of the Glass
/ owen bill, which calls for regional
reserve banks owned by the national
banks and controlled by these nation
al banks. The Republicans contend
that their plan is far more progress
i've and should appeal to the people.
