Would Reorganize House Democrats. Washington, D. C. March 5. i Congressman J. Y. Sanders of the Sixth Louisiana District, has become president of an organiza tion to re-organize the Demo cratic forces of the house, which a would have the effect of ousting Champ Clark and Claude Kitchen from their present leadership on the Democratic side. Repre sentative Adres of Kansas is vice chairman and Representative MoCl.intic of Oklahoma is seore , tary. Chief objection to Kitchen and Clark, it is said, is their ten dency to disagree with the presi dent. Gov. Sanders gave out ýd this statement: ar "Believing that it is necessary y. for the Democratic representa or tives in the Sixty-sixtf Congress e fo present a solid front to the republican majority, and believ ing that this organization should caul embrace every section of the ana United States, and believing that A this purpose can be accomplished San only by the freest expression of Ger opinion of all the Democratic representattves, we have deemed dev it to the best interest of the party to organize and to present our views to our fellow Democratic bet members. "It is self-evident that: con "First, a party divided in its 'I leader ship is doomed in advance cor 'to defeat. Gei "Second, individual leadership giv is not always responsive to the , F majority sentiment. pri Third, the Democrats should op t in the future be called together bai by their leaders in frequent con- de( 7 forenoe and consultation and the views and opinions of all alike 8 solicited. wo e "Therefore, "e'declare that a Br: steering committee (its -naumber off ! and personnel to be determined by the entire membership of the for parry caucu-) should be constitut.- in ed fo. ur u ,r lidacn ill fture qu sesioI.r,; ti, ; r o., lt .,c this Committte rh.

The s-t .,ing .ýmrn:uitt&e" should select its own chair man (who shMiould have no other com mittee assignments,) who would thus become ex-officio minority leader, its action in this mitter, as in all others, to be subject to the approval of the caucus. "We are of the firm opinion that if some such policy as the one thus briefly outlined' as adopted by the Democratic party in caucus assembled, we will then be able to -present at all times and on' all questions a'solid front, undivided in counsel; that from this sblidity of front and unity of counsel will develop a militant, intelligent and active organization, capable of propos ing and promoting legislation re sponsive to the needs of the day, and of efeotive opposition to measures that do not commend themselves to 'the party judge ment, and that such leadership and concerted action will bring to us the confidence and support of the people and pave the way for Democratic success in 1920.
