Washington, D. G.. The reorean-
i2ation of the Senate has beon COM
pleted along progressive lines. but in
SUCH manner as TO encourage the
hope OF harmony upon which the Viii
son administration is so dependant in
the carrying out OF its policies.
The reorganization has been ac-
complished tactfully, without vio-
lem assault upon the traditions OF
seniority, With reimbursement OF COM
mittee alisnments to which no rea-
sonable man may object, Yet with a
strategic ability that paves the way
for AN entirely new order OF things
IN the future.
1t augurs we'll for President Will
son and his policies OF administration
and legislation. Ii indicates that the
good start made in the executive
branch of the government is being
reflected in the lawmaking branch.
Harmony must be the great factor
in spelling the success of MI. Will
sons term in the White House.

a safe majority oVc the republicans
