By FRANKLIN G. sARTWELL

The Republicans are about to
try to bring down to a concrete
basis some of the numerous neo-
ulous suggestions for reorganiza-
ton which have been floating
about Washington and the coun-
try since the congressional elec-
tions.
Almost every leader and would
be leader of the party has come
forth with his ideas for reorganl'
zation since the election, but lit
tie or nothing has been done
about them.
Big Ideas Subsiding
Probably the reason that so lit
tie has been done is the fact that
each of the so-called leaders has
had the idea that the way to re-
organize the party was to make
himself the grand supreme eX-
alted leader.
Obviously no progress could be
made toward any reorganization
as long as everybody thought the
last election was mandate to
him personally to lead the party
hereafter.
Now, however, some of the ex-
alted ideas which were born in
the minds of several of these
leaders when the returns came
in are beginning to subSide. Some
of the real leaders, as contrasted
with those who are willing to
accept that title as their contri-
button to reorganization, have
been getting together lately.
They are making definite
progress toward a reorganization
which they believe will be ef-
fective and will be actively func-
tioning when Congress meets in
January and the long grind of
preparing the record for the cam.
paign of 1888 gets under way.
Parley Expected
AS result of these preliminary
and informal conferences, it is
expected that there will soon be
called a national meeting which
will be asked to ratify the pro-
gram now in process of formation
or to suggest a different but
equally practical program.
The meeting, upon which will
depend largely the fate of the
party for the next decade, prob
ably will be held in Washington
at the approximate time of the
convening of Congress.
This seems to be the logical
way to get the "leaders" into a
corral and try to break them to
the harness which they are going
to have to wear if they expect
to get anywhere in the national
political race,
BOrah Gains Prestige
Considerable significance is be-
ing attached in this connection
to the trip which Senator Borah,
of Idaho, is contemplating max

ing to New York within the next
month.
The Senator, since his return to
Washington a few days after the
election, has added greatly to his
prestige in the national Republi.
can picture. This has been due
principally to his rational han.
ding of the relief investigation
matter.
Consequently it was not surpris!
ing that New York Republicans
sent an emiSsary to Washington
to urge the Senator to visit that
State and discuss the future of the
party.
He probably will have some
truths to tell the gathering there.
They will be of varying degrees
of palatableness.
AS a result Of the New York
meeting, however, Senator Borah
will come back to Washington
ready for the more nationally
minded meeting which will be held
here shortly after the New York
session,

MONEY REFORM
BATTLE DUE IN
CONGRESS
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
International News Service

A battle in the new Congress
over currency and banking re-
forms was assured today as the
reform leaders converged on the
National Capital for a series of
conferences.
A legislative program undoubt-
edly will be drafted by the reform
leaders before Congress meets.
They were led by Senator Elmer
Thomas Cd, of Oklahoma, and
the Rev. Charles Coughlin, the De-
troit radio priest"
Others supporting the reform
move included George LIE Blanc,
formerly of the Equitable Trust
Company; Robert Harriss, New
York broker, and James H. R.
Cromwell, stepson of E. T. Stotes-
bury, the Philadelphia capitalist.
Want 1925 Prices
The group will fight for restora-
ton of 1926 prices. They may
offer a wide series of legislative
means for reaching this goal. One
suggestion has been the creation
of a central bank of issue, which
would issue all American money
and thereby take from National
and Federal Reserve Banks the
right to issue money. 1t has met
with little favor in congressional
circles.
Another plan, previously pro-
posed. is to increase open market
operations by the Government.
This would mean the purchase of
Government bonds on the open
market with currency issued
against the monetary reserves now
In the Treasury.
Avoid Initiation
The reformers declare the de-
valuation of the gold dollar dou-
bled the value of the gold in the
Treasury vaults and that billions
of dollars of Treasury notes could
be issued against that gold with
out giving the nation true infla-
tion, such as destroyed the Ger
man mark some years ago.
The silver bloc meanwhile will
demand free coinage of silver and
its actual reconciliation. The
silverites may join the currency
reformers on combined pro
gram.

From Mount Vernon, where the

ends, the public highway goes south

fine opportunity to push the highway
along the Potomac River farther south.
Representative Smith has bill in

considered possible that funds for this
may be secured from the Public Works

would be to have this restored as the

venerable structure now exist.
Just beyond Wakefield Manor is
Stratford, not only the home Of two

berries. Plainclothes men. led by
Capt. Bernard w. Thompson, as

ment the following day.
In the car, which was found at
Eleventh and Euclid streets, police
