Shrewd Plan For M gate* Party in South President Harding; and Secretary | Hoover Cooperate?Have j *. Practical Working Idea If Tiey Can Enforce It ,r ? Washington, June 5.?Building up a party is a slow process anywhere, and particularly so in territory in which ; ihe conditions have been adverse for two generations. How long it will tako the Republican organization to >. set on even terms with the Democrats j -iv the south if th-i' wisest possible ', ?:^noiicr r-f rebuilding is adopted and ?consistently followed is a question. It ??would "take a good deal longer even . under that ideal assumption than the average observer outside of the south imagines/ However, it is just as well to make note of the fact that President Hard . lug's administration is proceeding, at the start at any rate, along rational, . weU considered and sj stematic lines towards such a reorganization of Southern Republicanism. The plan is : the best laid, and thus far the most sagaciously administered, that has yet characterized a Republican national regime. " "Presidenl Harding is working for the establishment of an "era of good feeling" similar to that which came in the days of Monroe, and he ap - p?rently possesses in a high degree "the personal qualifications requisite . for this executive achievement. With Secretary Hughes as his wheel-horse in diplomatic matters, aided to a very important degree by Secretary Hoo ver's actual knowledge of present-day foreign conditions, the president is en .WUiugiBg Secretary Hoover to win the confidence and appreciation of the -business community for the adminis tration, .while* Mb political agents in * the varioirs* sections seek to strength en the Republican fences wherever they are Weak or defective. ?While the plan for reconstruction of Southern ^itep?bEcan" organizations ?where they' have been most wofully lacking is /proceeding under the gen eral adyice^ot. Representative C. Bas .* com Slexnp/ cf Virginia, who is special counselor "ift the Harding administra '?? tion as to party- matters below Mason ' and Dlxon's Ldne, the- president and Secretary Hoover-are making it plain to the a^xiculturai and commercial P-'-comsranity at large that this admin istration hopes-to "loosen up" credits - to a considerable extent through the medium of the federal reserve sys v tern. ^^Nb matter what may he the facts ;.as to whether or not the Wilson ad ? jmnistration overdid the process of tightening; up credits, the farming and c?minefcia! communities seem to feel va* & whole that this was the case. If . the Harding administration can effect _a^iiberali^??on of credits through the operation oi the federal reserve sys ?V tern without doing any harm to the Stability of the financial foundation, there is no question that the RepubM l cans will have 'put one over" on the Democrats. This would be true in spite of the fact that the Democrats \cpuid themselves, if now in control of government, loosen credits in a y^ have been dangerous viitt/jother^times. The federal reserve vin?rginT of gold is now . far abo*re -*nat:it was a year ago. '???-?$ut explanations aside, the present ' ^ministration . is adopting shrewd treasures to make headway in the south, by capitalizing the dissatisfac tion which existed over the agricu ltural credit situation. in the last pe riod of thfe Wilson regime, r^.'-.""AH. that may be gained by the "Harding administration u. helping ' and pleasing the business commu-n ^>fiy (including in that term the farm ers an|31-file merchants and all who .engage in ,tru?>: or n-od^ctive invest ment) vr\~~il go for little, however, in southern states ui.iess the race ctiesSon .can he eliminated as a con Jt'r?liinsr-lactor of politics. In view of '-the prese^oe of so many fanatics on -".^tfcis question who are in the Repub ?^ean, party in the north and west, .-with " some, representatives in con fess and in the national committee, it is easy to see that Slemp has a 'Jfearder task than Hoover. ! /: The plan of reorganization in the ?outhem G..O. P. which seems to be ?finding favor just now is to select a lew prominent citizens who are Re publicans or' willing to be Republi cans under new conditions, and hav 'in?T these persons each submit lists Of other Republicans whom they re gard as representatives of their com munities as to business and general -^standing. The Republican national ? committeeman of the state in question "Would also submit a list. From the %Hsts as a whole some unbiased au thority, perhaps the chairman of the national committee, would select a ?hundred or more Republieans who -. should assemble and reorganize their party in the State and recommend a slate for federal appointments. This would not entirely ignore the o'd or -ganization, but it would vnall^ th* (. reorganizing forces to se..ure the nu merical superiority in the official re ? organization meeting. I ? President Harding nas b<?*>n told Ly ^'acquaintances who are Democrats ^tftat if the Republiran national con ' vention last summer had not mad< the colossal blunder of electing a negro national committeeman for 'Georgia, there would actually have been a serious possibility of that ? state's going Republican in November. '?thers are inclined to regard this as putting the case too strongly; hut all .'Whose opinion is of any value agr^?* ?that a great many Republican votes ?^ere lost in Georgia and in other ? southern States by the blunder in ! question.

There were further beneficial light to moderate showers, heavy rains in localities in the western and eastern portions of the b<:t over Sunday where moisture was said to be needed. Cable advfees from England are to effect that operators and miners con fer again today in an efforft to settle British coal tsrike and that textile operators and mill hand representa tives meet tomorrow to discuss the lockout in Lancashire due to the dis pute as r<-ga;ds wages. Reporting for tin- eastern half of tip- cotton region Montgomery, Ala., summarizes the situation as follows: 'l ie- hot dry weather oaring the last ha If of May has been in favor of the crop and the plant is coming up to a good stand. Fields are being chopped ;and weeded out. Estimate crop ap ; : o>: imately i' weeks late or one week ! earlier than last season. On account of the decrease in the a:.- of fertilizers tin- pla it will not be as hardy as usual and will he more susceptible to adverse weather eon dirions. in localities where it has been necessary to replant this condition is more pronounced. Reports of pres ence of weevil come from many see t ions. Their appearance even before [squares have formed indicates that j the mild winter of this 'season has failed to exterminate, the usual amount of these insects and that rav ages from this sour< ?- .vill be larger than usual, furthermoru lack of fin jances will prevent growers from fight ing this pest with as much success as hitherto, on account of the above I things the size of the crop will be much more quickly affected by weath er conditions than has been the case before and the months of June and ['July will Lear unusually close watching.
