The Washington headquarters of the,
two great parties are open today and
the laborers are at their desks.
The senatorial committee of in
vestigation into the expenditure of
campaign funds stirred up consider
able commotion and the stirring
process brought TO the top Of the p0t
a good many facts that We're attest
ed as such by tho leaders of both
party organizations who were sum
moned TO testify under oath. The
lessons of the last four years have
taught the two organizations a good
many things, and the word Is that
both will profit thereby.
! Hard and fast organization coupled
with hard and fast work helped to
win the last presidential election for
the Republican party. There Is not n
Democratic leader in Washington
who does not admit this. 1t may be
that victory would have come to the
Republicans because of the supposed
desire for change in the American ad-
ministration on the part Of the people,
but facts cannot he blinked. II un-
questionably is true that cohesive
ness Of plans and what may be called
frmnesS Of organization helped to in
crease the size of the Republican VIC
tory If 1t was not responsible entire
ly for the victory itself. The Demo
cratic leaders have resolved, so far
as organization and work are con-
cerned, that they will not be outdone
during the next four years by the Re
publiC0ns.
White and Hays on the Job.
The Democrats have re-established
their Washington headquarters in the
Woodward building, with Chairman
George White, who has Just returned
from a hunting trip, in charge. The
Republicans, who moved their head
quarters some time ago from the
building in which they were neighbors
to the Democrats to a Pennsylvania
avenue structure, already have put
the last campaign, except for Its les
sons, behind them and are engaged
on the problems Of the future. Whcth-
er or not George White end win II.

II takes money to run campaigns
and keep organizations alive i'm the
interim between the actual contests
The Republicans had budget Of
something over $3.OOOOOO for the eX-
pcnses of the last campaign. They
not only kept subscriptions within the
budget but they are some hundreds
of thousands Of dollars i'm debt tcday.
The Democratic organization did not
get down to worl- I'm the last cam
palgn until many months after the
Republicans had perfected their or
ganizaton, and this fact has been so
borne into the consciousness Of the
Democratic leaders that the declara-
tion today is that nothing of the kind
shall happen again.
