DEMOCRAT|CSTAND
Praises Chairman White and
Discusses Importance of
Next Years Elections.

Approval of the action of the ma
tonal democratic executive commit
tee in declining to call a meeting Of
day by Representative Kitchin of
North Carolina, who Issued a statement
saying it would have been "brutally
unjust" to have dismissed George w.
White as national chairman.
Mr.. kitchin said MIR. White was "as
able chairman as could be had in
the United States"
Winning of the congressional cleo
tlons next year, or at least a good
showing, will have much to do with
the presidential contest in 1924, Mr.
kitchin asserted. He said since the
civil war the party which had car
ried the House in the middle of the
presidential term had won the presi-
dency in the following two years.
Mr.. kitchin, who has been i'll, ap-
peared TO be in good physical condi-
ton.
He said today the party caucus
would be held probably four days be-
fore the session of the new Congress
opened, at which time the ways and
means members would be chosen and
they would pick the other committee
assignments of the party.
The democrats will have nine mem
bers on the ways and means COM
mlttec in the next Congress, instead
of ten as at present. Mr.. Kitchin
SAID. leaving only two new members
to be chosen. Republican leaders
have indicated to him. Mr. kitchin
continued. that the democratic mem
bership on the appropriations COM
mittee would be reduced to nine. as
against fifteen in the present Con-
greSs.

The battle must be fought by the

brains in our movement must devise
the methods and policies TO be fol-
lowed"

impromptu convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. The high

themselves: First, that additional re
striction is needed because improper
films are actually being exhibited:
second. that the Commissioners have
power to regulate this matter in the
power to license and to condition IL.
