business-like, going concern, func-
tioning every day in the year and
not merely duriG1g a few weeks
preceding ele ton campaigns, and
that party organizations will be
formed to include every one of
the 10000 election districts in
the various states, was dis losed
by party leaders during the dim
ner gwen in Washington last
week in honor of Honorable Jou-
EFT Shouse. of Kansas, recently
made CNaiyr7an of thd Executive
Committee of the National Com
mittae. At the head of the or
garizot on directing the work will
be Ny. Shouse. a former member
of CONGRESS- from Kansas and for
mer Assistant SECRETARY of the
Treasury under President Wilson,
WHO has virtually abandoned his
private Interests to give his time
dur'n~ I've newt three wears, with
out nav. to organization work for
the Democratic party.
Delivering the prin ipal address
at the dinner 0iven bv the ,Ieffer-
son'an Associat on of the District
of Columbia as mark of appre-
ciaticea to him. Mr.. Shouse en-
phasized the fact that the organ
ization with he will direct will
have absolutely nothing to do
with candidates. Three major ac-
tivities will be undertaken by the
Wash 'n~ton national headquart-
ers, he said. to include organiza-
ton. publicity and research. The
purpose will be to keep the people
informed about what is taking
place in the conduct of their gov
ernment and to endeavor to win
ITEM to tie support of the Demo
cratic party and it's principles,
first in the Congressional election
next year and then in 1892 in the
ele, tion of a Pres dent. Pointing
out that no political organization
can carry on successfully merely
from the top, Mr.. Shouse asked
for the cooperation of the State
organizations, they in turn to en-
list the active cooperation of the
county organizations, and so on
Gown to the precinct organiza-
tions on which, in The final anal
ysis, success must depend.
Emphasizing the point that the
party organization must have and
will have nothing to do with can
didates or individual ambitions,
that being for the party individ-
uals themselves to do when the
proper time arrives, Mr.. ShOuse
said:
"There is one thing with which
the Washington headquarters will
refuse absolutely to have any con-
Germ. That is the question of can
didacies. 1t is our duty and our
responsibility and our effort to
try to build up an effective fight
ing force to turn over to those
who will direct the next cam
paign. | cannot too definitely inn
press upon you my earnestness in
making this statement. If we have
an effective, militant organization
of the party forces ready to be
turned over at the tine the next
candidate is nominated, his posi-
bilities of success will be vastly
enhanced. To that and to that a.
lone our efforts will be dedicat-
ed"

ed in reducing the deficit hanging

certainty of further reduction,
within a few weeks.
Senator Tydings directed at
tention to the disorganization pre-
vailing in administration ranks
with President Hoover pulling on
way and prominent Republican
in Congress pulling another, Great
ing legislative confusion that
bringing the administration t
chaos. With wheat at it's loves

ors in stock securities sustainin
heavy losses and with the spect
acle of an overwhelming majorit
of the dominant party in Congress
being unable to legislate, Demo
