Washington, ID. c., Nov. @.
The Cox wing of Democracy to-day
nred it's first shot in the battle TO gain
control of the party. 1t came in the
form of a statement by Senator Har-
rison Of Mississippi a close friend of
the defeated Democratic Presidential
nominee. ano who was head of the Dem
ocratic speakers bureau during the
campaign
Senator Harrison proposes that the
party be reorganized with Gov. Cox as
its leader. He also proposes that George
White be retained as chairman OF the
National Committee and that all party
factions be brought into lire. regardless
of their attitude during the campaign.
While the Senator mentions neither
President Wilson nor William ]. Bryan.
his statement was a thinly yelled con-
domination of the Wilson policy of read
ing out of the party all who did not
agree with its leaders. Democrats must
stand united and work in spirit of CO.
operation, the Senator said. His state
ment follows;
