70 Held The Ground Reeaincd

A sadly needed reorganization of
the Republican Party was capably
begun in its last National Conven-
ticn. Its radical and insurgent ele-
n.ents were forced out In Novem-
Der this was overwhelmingly APP
proved by the party rank and file.
In December, four Senators, Laid
and Frazier. OF North Dakota i;
Brookhart, of Iowa. and La Toilette,
of Wisconsin. ostensible Repub-
licans, who led the La Toilette re-
volt in the Northwest. were
formally barred from Republican
councils by Republican members of
the Senate.
Party reorganization is proceeding
at steady pace. The next move,
apparently, is TO rebuild genuine
Republican Party in Iowa. in the
regained Dakotas and Minnesota,
that have been wrested from the
Nonpartisan League, and in Wiscon-
sin.
This rebuilding must begin with
The foundations. For years much
of the party machinery in these
States has been in. insurgent hands.
Party patronage has been in the
grip of bogus Republicans. They
passed out the Federal jobs.
They named attorneys, collectors.
marshals, surveyors of ports and the
swarm of assistants, deputies and
sub deputies. They blew hot or
cold upon the aspirations Of would
be postmastcrs. Their kind of "Re-
publicans" were the kind that were
rewarded with positions that we"I
theirs to give or withhold.
Tho party they were trying to
wreck was their Christmas tree.
They used its gifts to destroy it, it
was common knowledge that they
were boring from within; but,
under mild and forbearing policy
of compromise. insurgency waxed
fat on these places. Having that
with which to reward the faithful.
the insurgents kept their political
fences /'horse-high, pig-tight and
bull strong" Riders on the rural
routes carrying the mails daily TO a
hundred farm homes felt bound to
them. So did a swarm of clerks,
stenographers, inspectors, sub IN
spectors and others of the small fry
who had been rewarded.
These have been a. part OF the
ostensihle Republican organization
in States honeycombed by insur-
gency. Any party ouse-cleantng
worth the name must deal with this
situation.
The d;sloyal Republican, no mat
ter how strenuously he may urge
his claims to the name Republican.
must be shorn of his patronage.
His right 10 that patronage must
be gagged by mis- actions.
Wherever it is possible and not
contrary to the public interest, the
present appointees of these men
should be eased out of the Federal
service. Unless they can pass the
acid test of party regularity, these
political iobholders should be dis
placed by those who can. The party
machinery and these cogs, little and
great, in that machinery ought to
be Republican in fact as well as In
name. This Is not only practical
politics but It is honest politics.
