No Fear for Democratic. Party;
Will Come Back Stronger 1926

ASHEVILLE, March 1O.-Former Unit
ed States Senator Thomas r. Taggart,
who arrived here today from French Lick
Springs. to spend several weeks, does
not believe the democrats need any re-
organizing but that the party will come
back stronger in 1924 than the republi-
cans did last year if the leaders do their
duty to the country.
In statement given here tonight he
said:
IF the democrats win take care of
themselves for a little while the republi-
cans win make circumstances which in
the next two years win provide all the
reorganizing necessary All we have to
do is to do our duty TO the country
properly help the administration where
It should be helped and in 1924 we will
be in fine shape. do not think the
democratic party needs any reorganizing
Just now.

Country Must All Pull Together
If We Would Get Out the Ditch

WASHINGTON. March 10.-The future
Of the department of commerce in its
abilities TO meet the needs of trade and
industry must await the thorough re-
organization of the whole executive ma
chinery'' now being undertaken by the
joint congressional reorganization COM
mittee, Secretary Hoover said today.
The declaration was made in Mr..
Hoover's first statement as a cabinet
member in which he announced the pol
icy of his department to be one of SER
vice and not OF regulation of trade ana
industry"
Outside of voluntary measures, he said,
the only immediate extension of service
would be in the obtaining of greater in
ternal efficiency.
In order to do service to the greatest
advantage" Mr.. Hoover said. Il wish
to establish a wider and better organized
cooperation with the trade and COM
merciaI organizations and viii in short
time present some plans 10 this end. I
want TO see our efforts to push our for
eign commerce more closely related TO
our industries
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1921-03-11

Such enlarged activity, he declared.
was within the original purpose of his
department and would require neither
additional legislation nor appropriation.
Further burdens on the taxpayer for the
undertaking of new work were discour-
aged by Mr.. Hoover, on the ground OF
economy. need of organization and re
duction of less essentials"
Touching on the necessity for more
efficient governmental machinery. but
not making public any of his plans for
governmental reorganization, Mr.. Hoov-
er said the necessity had been empha-
sized by war-created economic difficult
ties.
Altogether" the secretary concluded,
more economic taxation, tariff, large
economy in government through inter-
nal bureaus, reorganization and agree
ments ON disarmament and systematic
government cooperation, all will con-
tribute 10 help us out of the ditch. We
win get out-yet when all is done the
rapidity with which we get out will have
depended upon the degree to which we
pun together
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1921-03-11

IF we do this, if the papers keep the
people fairly advised, my judgment is
that in 1924 the democratic party will
come back as strong if not stronger than
the republican party did last year I
firmly believe this.
Il feel satisfied that the republican
party will live to regret that it did not
accept the treaty and league plan if
for no other reason than that of busi-
ness. The business of the world is
profoundly disturbed and disturbed busi-
ness reflects in other lines. The re-
publican party claims to have business
judgment and if ii has a fraction of
what it claims it must eventually see
that it was guided by prejudice and not
business judgment in rejecting the
treaty. Personally L am fond of Presi-
dent Harding and | believe that as far
as he is able he win give d conscien-
tious administration, but the drag on
him from old associations viii be ire
mendous. He faces many difficulties
and he may have to break some friend
ships"
