WASHINGTON. Oct. i3.--Insi1e
democratic politics and rlvalries for
control ot the party organization that
have been secthing under the surface
nt rather furious rate of late, viii
coWe into tho open through the call
issued by Chairman George White for
meeting of the fun democratic ma
tional committee at st. Louis Novem-
ber l.
The call stntes the meeting ia to
receive a report Of the work OF tho
chairman, TO discuss party policy and
TO adopt plans for future operations"
For several days. leaders OF the Me-
Adoo wing OF the party here have
been tclvgraphing Tor proxies OF COM
mittec members who might not be
able to attend. They anticipated
white wrs going to toss up his job
and try and turn II over to Scott
| Ferris. former congressman OF Okla
homu. In turn, they looked forward
to bringing the organization once
more back into the wilson McAdoo
ioid By putting Daniel Roper. for
mcrly commissioner OF Internal revo-
nue. and recognized AS the most prac-
tical politician In the McAdoo group,
AT the party helm.
Hut White Won't Quit.
But Chairman white Is "A most dis
tHnt porson-so far as the McAdou
group h. concerned. White isn't eN-
cited about his job at all In fact,
| Candidate Jimmy Cox had to beg him
to take II last year. After the Novem-
her election results, Mr.. White liked
this particular job and title less than
ever.
But the secret might as well out
Chairman white has no intention
whatever Of rcsigning the chairman
ship Of the democratic committee al
long as the hungry McAdoo e-oup h
waiting to seize the job ana take ovel
the party machinery. Mr.. White hai
announced this over and over but n,
onc--at least no one Of tho McAdoI
group-would believe IL.
| So the 81. Louis meeting viii h'
held and MIR White will prove that h,
isn't going to resign by not doing 30
and all good democratic patriots vii
be asked to loosen up with thcil
bank rolls for the depleted and empty
party treasury.
Democrats See Better Times.
Just why anybody should hav'
such heart yearnings to control th'
democratic organization after tn,
