Plan for Fight in 1882.
Mr.. Flynn's plans are for early
action to bring the Democratic or
ganization the country over into
fighting trim for the elections OF
1912. when the next congressional
elections and the elections of Gov
ernors of many States will take place,
He plans close cooperation with
the Democratic congressional and
senatorial committees.
The night of inauguration Day,

Mr.. Reynolds, who becomes treas

as treasurer for several years, takes
over the office of general manager,
and will presumably act as chair

There has been no abandonment
of the plan to hold Jackson Day

ber of years has been held in order
to raise funds for the national COM

to these dinners retail here for 500
each, with a descending scale of
prices in other cities. The date of
the dinner this year will be an

Mr.. Flynn made no comment
when he was asked what might be
expected in cabinet changes. He
was equally reticent regarding the
mayoralty election in New York
which takes place this year. The
New York mayoralty election pre-

Army Engineers
Survey Gila Basin
For Flood Control

Sen. Carl Hayden of Arizona
has reported from Washington
that the U. S. army engineers
were surveying the entire Gila
river basin in an attempt to meet
the longstanding demand for the
proposed Charleston dam on the
San Pedro river near Benson.
Hayden advised Secretary of
State Harry Moore that he had
received a memorial adopted by
the house of representatives of
the recent legislature urging con-
struction of the proposed dam
south of Benson to eliminate the
annual flood hazards presented
by the stream at high stage.
The Arizona senator said the
army engineers felt it advisable
to consider the proposed Charles
ton projedt in connection with
a general flood control program
of the Gila river and its tributaries
rather than as an isolated project.
The San Pedro river flows into
the Gila river.
The Gila basin survey now is un-
derway and may be completed
within year, Hayden said.
