1t is pointed ont by party leaders
that Mr. Meton's letter is OF more
than ordinary interest because OF
his experience for four years at the
head of the state committee. The
letter in part, follows:
My experience for four years as

the democratic organization since
that time prompts me to make some
suggestions to your committee.
Members OF the county execu-
tive committee should be selected
by precinct conventions. The coun-
ty coTnittee should select the chair
man of that committee apd the
county committee should then select
member of the state committee.
Members Of the state committee
ssould serve for two years. These
selections for both county and
state committeeman should b.
made before the primary election
each two years. II is mistake to

CONGRESS AWAITS
PRESIDENTS NOTE
ONR. R. FINANCING
Harding's Supporters Believe
He Will Succeed in Establish
ing Finance Corporation Plan.
BY j. BART CAMPBELL,
international NeMs service.

Congress Ia awaiting with mixed
feelings today the submission or tho
administration's two-fold plan for
rendering substantial financial as
sistance TO both the railroads and the
farmers by broadening the powers OF
the War Finance Corporation.
Close scrutiny will be given the de-
tails divulged by She Presidents mes.
sage tomorrow OF the agreement
reached between the Administration
and the railroad executives whereby
1t is proposed thatthe railroads shalt
receive approximately $500. 900 900 In
cash without the necessity OF q Con-
gressional appropriation.
The President had his way after
short but bitter fight when he decided
that the Senate must defer action on
the soldiers bonus bill because OF the
financial condition Of the countrys
resources. His followers in Congress
believe he will be equally successful IN
securing the adoption Of the Admin
istration's proposal for funding the
claims Of the Government against the
railroads, and the claims OF the rail-
roads against the Government.
Strong Opposition Feared.
Even his most ardent supporters in
Congress concede. however, that tho
President In likely to experience con.
siderably more opposition when II
comes 10 tackling the railroad s!tua.
ton again than he did when he urged
the ditching OF the soldiers bonus bill.
To Republican Senators like La Fol-
lette. of Wisconsin, who foueht the
guarantee clause Of the transportation
act, and who are battling now to have
II repealed. the bare announcement
that the President is contemplating the
NJ ~ L. -

call to arms. They are already spoil
ing for a fight because OF the details
OF the Presidents proposal which have
already reached them.
Another angle OF the situation
which also. threatens trouble in Con-
gress for the Administration is the
Presidents pronounced opposition to
the Norris bill to create a $780,
000, 900 Federal corporation to H.
nance agricultural products. a meas
ure he has given Senators to under
stand he will veto II IL should pass
and be sent to him. Even with the
hacking OF the Senatorial "axricul-
tural bloc" 1t is not expected, how
ever. to pass in its pserent form
President Suggests Substitute.
The President is suggesting. as
substitute for It that the War FL
nance Corporation be empowered to
deal exclusively with the difficult
problem OF finding ample foreign
markets for American farm prod
ucts, and the separate corporation
the Norris plan would set up be en-
tirely eliminated. Another amend
ment TO the Norris plan Is to strike
out it's provision to empower the
Government to purchase agricultural
products for export
Both Republican and Democratic
members of Congress are curious TO
see what effect the Presidents mes
sage will have on the railroad and
agricultural situation so far az Con-
eress Is concerned. That the Presi-
dents two-fold plan is certain to lead
to considerable discussion In both the
Senate and House is freely pre-
dicted.
