AFTER KITCHIN, BURLESON

According TO the plan announced from Washington, the Demo
Gratis in the next congress are going to sdetrack Claude Kitchin, the
statesman from Scotland Neck, North Carolina, and make Champ
Clark leader of the minority. The Democrats are beginning to real
ie that it was the narrow, sectional attitude of their leaders in the
present congress that brought defeat upon their party last fall, as
~r as the control of the House was concerned.
Congressman Kitchin, as chairman of the Ways and Means COM
mittee and majority leader, brought the whole party into disrepute.
He opposed practically every measure in connection with the war, he
openly boosted that through his influence and power as chairman of
the Ways and Means committee he would see that most of the expense
of the war was saddled on the North. lie, with other Southern Dem
ocrats who We're in the saddle, saw to it that while prices were being
fixed ON practically everything in order to prevent, as far a possible
profteering that cotton was not affected.
Now, it seems, the Democrats have realized their mistake and the
rule of seniority, through which men hike Kitchin reached such i'm
portant posts, is TO be ignored.
But there is another detriment to the party that the Democrats
have not yet been able 10 reach, but there are indications that they
are beginning TO get at ii. We refer to Postmaster General Burleson.
Next to Kitchin and Dent, perhaps, Burleson has done more to bring
the Democratic party into dsrepute than any other man. He certain
ly has made an awful mess of the Post Office department and now he
is trying to lay his hands on the wire service of the country.
Here. however, he has met with stiff opposition. He seized the tel
ephone and telegraph and cables after the armistice was signed
clearly in violation Of the intention of the act giving permission for
the government to take over such utilities. He has already begun to
mix things up in an effort to make it impossible TO ever return them
to private ownership, raising rates galore-somethingt that was de
MED the private corporations.
But congress is taking steps to clip his wings. While they cannot
oust him because Of his position in the Presidents @binei whereby
be is responsible only to the President, yet they are showing him that
he has gone far enough, and efforts are being made to restore much of
surplus in his department.
With Kitehin sidetraeked SO that lie will be eassed as one of
those 'also present, - and with Burleson out OF the way where he eau
do no further harm, the Democratic party might be able 10 win back
