Pershing Politics.

WHAT the politics Of Gen Pershng? Republican. II
w VIII be remembered that when he in Mexico with
the punitive expedition he urged Republican candi-
date for the vice presidency but persuaded friends drop
the agitation.
This is brought mp again because some Democratic pa
pers have been saying PeIshing IS Democrat and that
the Democrats ought Pershng for president For
instance the Houston Post regarding PeTshn poll
tics:
"Asny say Pershing IS Republican, but nobody seems
to know and one says Pershing himself probably
doesn't know. So far concerned, shall
believe good Pershng is Republican until he
forward himself and eoufesses that he is guilty.
Pershing's record should make such a personal ap-
pearance unnecessary far clearing up any dispute
his political preferences is concerned The Omaha Tr-
bune publishes letter to the editor from Capt c. E
Adams commandments Of the Grand Army Of the Re
public, in which the writer says:
an regard to your Washington dispatch regarding Gen
ershings politics. would say that in 1898 for
gess IN the Fifth Nebraska district against Sutherland and
defeated Gen. PeTshng who had Just returned from
the Philippines made several speeches in my behalf and
for the Republican ticket in my district Red Cloud, Mel
and other places I have kept up ny acquaintance
With the general since and he IS Republican and
have known him such since 1893"

BIC CONSTRUCTIVE
PROGRAM PLAN Of
REPUBLICAN CHIEF
Win Hays Makes Quiet Trip to
Washington and Expects
Good Results Will Follow in
Ranks of G. 0. P.
by DAVID LAWRENCE.
(The News Selmltar's Special Core.
~spondent)

WASHINGTON, April swim Hays,
chairman OF the Republican national
committee, has come, has seen and has
rome away with the impression that
the Republicans In the house are GO
ing to compose their differences and
give the country All example of con-
structive legislation In the next ses-
sion, which will make the party go
over the top" in 1920 as II did In 1918,
MIR, Hays found n ticklish situation and
handled himself, as usual tacttully, lest
the older heads In the party get the
idea he was unduly meddling,
Denials have been made that Mr.,
Hays sought to have the steering COM
mittee enlarged. but that's what is
going to happen eventually and on that
steering committee will be representa-
tives Of labor and of the farming In
t~erests, as well ~ other elements from
which the Republican party hopes to
derive its strength In 1920, Unques-
tionahly Mr.. Hays wants a liberalization
OF the house steering committee,
These men are going to control the
| fortunes Of the party In the next con
| gross, and the Republican natIona
Chairman has a very vital interest ir
whether the men who are selected
have the capacity and the vision to dea
with changing America.
Seeks Solidarity,
Party solidarity is what Mr., Hays II
trying suavely and quietly to hrinI
about and there IS much siguificanc,
In his trip to Washington, for, with
special session beginning toward tn,
end OF May or thereabout, there is littl
time for the Republicans TO get to
gether and agree upon programs O
legislation. In the meantime, Mr., Hay
himself ts losing no time in maxim
a systematic study, through a body @
experts, of the various questions whic
the Republicans win cndeavor to solv
In the next congress, for every prac
teal politician knows that the countr
IN 1890 will Judge the Republican part
not by what It did in the days Of Can
non or Aldrich, but what 1t does IN III
two trying years Of reconstructio
which are ahead.
As for the league OF nations as a
issue, Republicans are not disturhe,
Mr.. TRft's warm espousal Of the leagt
and the stand taken by men like Wei
ersham and Root VIII, they couten
prevent the Democrats from making
n party issue.
Much satisfaction la derived especial
from the letter sent by Elihu Roc
Press dispatches from Paris, saying Il
Root amendments are meeting with &
vor there will tend to strengthen q
impression that the Republicans hay
in a measure, assisted In making Il
league a vital international body, AS
the signers Of the round robin" rat
f~ication of the treaty itself will be {
answer to that, and no Republican
prominence is today predicting the ia
ure OF the senate TO ratify the cor
