Show EMERY COUNTY PROGRESS. CASTLE DALE. UTAH BANKS GET CAMERA TRAP oYiVI. D niaaft iX JriiHlAivri Washington. The Republican party leadership has made its first moves for the 1936 campaign. Km. O. P. Ready The executive com-fo- r mittee of the ReFight publican national committee has held a meeting here, a cession that started and euded with enthusiasm bubbling over. The reason the members gave for all of their Joy was, as expressed by Chairman nenry P. Fletcher, that "the tide has 'definitely turned and we are going out to defeat President Roosevelt for re- election.'' all of this joy is Justified, , Whether 00 one can tell, but certainly the Republican wheelhorses for the first time la Almost five years have shown signs ef genuine fight They are convinced that Mr. Roosevelt and his New Deal and they are comart In a tail-spimitted now to help the present administration to continue until it crashes help It by calling attention to every shortcoming and every mistake it has n Bade, While, as 1 said, the executive commutes meeting simply bubbled over with enthusiasm, unbiased observers eould not help reaching the conclusion after they watched the situation that the committee did very little of a constructive nature. It may be that this group; was not Intended to map out many plans, but if it did not have that purpose, one Is inclined to rise and inquire; Why hold a meeting? The one outstanding action taken was the authorization given Chairman Fletcher to establish a young Republican club division in the national committee headquarters here. The rest of the session that lasted all day apparently was given over to the exchange of ideas. All politicians and observers as well recognize the necessity for the exchange of Ideas but the question is being asked around Washington what they are going to do with these Ideas. Rank and file Republicans may take In the circumstances that brought heart See It as Good Sign their party leader-- . ship to headquarters four months earlier than they ordinarily meet It Is a good sign, from the Republican standpoint. It ought to mean that they are all set to do business and to keep doing business until they have elected a candidate to the Presidency in November, 1930. But still, none of the Washington writers was able to determine exactly what is going to be done. The Washington writers can hardly be blamed, if inside information that leaks out is correct because the executive committee really did not get very far with any plans. ap; I said above that the wheelhorses peared to be full of fight. There was every evidence of this. There was also evidence of possibilities, at least, that there may be family fights. There Is no doubt that many members of the national committee do not like Chairman Fletcher. Likewise, Chairman Fletcher is not enthusiastic about certain members of the committee over which he presides. It is made to appear, therefore, that there may be some mud slinging before the machine is attuned for the campaign next year. If there is much of it, the Republican party may as well save the money it is preparing to spend, as money al- ways is spent in a campaign, to defeat Mr. Roosevelt. It won't have a chance if It Is going to fight without a united front against such opposition as the President and his party set-u- p Is prepared to give. ' It may have been by coincidence or It may have been by design but what- ever the reason tlie Iron t Help action of Robert H. Lucas, former executive head of the Republican national committee, in filing a libel suit against one of the party members is not going to help either Mr. Lucas or Charles D. Hilles, national committeeman from New Pork. Mr. Lucas has sued Mr. Hilles and Frank R. Kent Baltimore newspaper columnist and political commentator, for $200,000 libel. He charged in a suit filed on the same day that the executive committee met here that Mr. Hilles and Mr. Kent were "conspiring" to destroy him politically. It Is unlikely that Mr. Lucas can sustain bis charges in court but whether he can or cannot sustain them, the court action against a prominent member of bis own party, a man with whom he was associated In party leadership, naturally will have a disrupting influence. It will go far beyond the two personalities involved because obviously the names of other party leaders will be dragged in. Mr. Kent said after learning of the libel action that Mr. Lucas was acting "silly" and he was not alarmed at all. The comment here among observers who know both Mr. Lucas and Mr. Kent seem to think that the action was brought by Mr. Lucas In order to opset Mr. limes. Mr. Lucas has disliked Mr. Hilles for years and so, in the opinion of many astute political writers, Mr. Lucas Is seeking to wreck any political aspirations Mr. Hilles : Either h'MKh o Mf, JJ has by joining him as a defendant in a suit against Mr. Kent. Mr. Lucas, It will be remembered. Is the individual who got mixed op in a rather sour mess in the effort to beat Senator George W. Norris In Nebraska. Senator Norris has bolted the Republican party and supported Democratic nominees through the last eight years, meanwhile continuing to claim Republican affiliations when he sought election to the senate. While it was never proved how much Mr. Lucas had to do with it the belief has always prevailed that it was Mr. Lucas who conceived the Idea of persuading George W. Norris, an obscure grocery story proprietor in Nebraska, to file for the United States senate against Senator George W. Norris who was then seeking Punishment was meted out to the Groceryman Norris who, it appeared after the thing was over, was more or less of an Innocent bystander who was willing to lend the use of his name. Thus, when a few weeks ago, Mr. Lucas personally sent a questionnaire to the hundreds of Republican state and county chairman, seeking their views as to a Presidential nominee for the party, those who remembered his services with the Republican national .committee Immediately wondered what his object was. I have tried to ascertain what the purpose might be and have thus far had no success other than the statement which Mr. Lucas made to me. He told me at the time of his poll that he wanted to discover exactly what the sentiment was of those party chairmen far removed from the hot bed of party control. It was his conviction, he said, that the method he was employing would bring to the attention of those in control of the Republican party facts that should awaken them and keep them from allowing the party machine to be subordinated to the wishes of a few. He declined to name those few. Now, however, he Is in the limelight in a new fashion. If he has been damaged, as he claims, by the conspiring of Mr. Hilles and others, then he ought to collect and those who conspired ought to be exposed. Nevertheless, unbiased observers remain without a conviction that Mr. Lucas has been the victim of such a conspiracy. Let us turn from a discussion of political rows and personal enmities to learn something About Miss about one of the most calm and comO'Reilly placent women who has ever served in a public capacity. I refer to Miss Mary M. O'Reilly. It is probable that few of those who read my observation on Washington affairs ever have heard of Miss O'Reilly, nor Is it strange that they have not heard of her for I do not believe there is any individual more retiring and less desirous of publicity than she Is. For 32 years. Miss O'Reilly has graced an office in the treasury. Starting as a minor clerk she continued as a servant of the public In the office of the director of the mint. She did a job at once so faithful and so efficient that promotions continued to come until eight or ten years ago she was made assistant director of the United States mints. Administrations came and went through all of those years and Miss O'Reilly continued to do her job, to do it so faithfully that no one ever thought of what her political affiliations may have been. A few days ago, there came from the White House an executive order which said that the treasury might continue to keep Miss O'Reilly on the pay roll for a year after November 1 she will he seventy years old on that date and under the law would be forced to retire. Secretary Morgenthau, however, recognized the unique capacity and quality which Miss O'Reilly possesses and has extended her term of service. I was telling a Washington visitor the other day the system employed In the national Capital for the identification ot streets, explaining that the north and south streets bore numbers and the east and west streets were named after letters in the alphabet or with names beginning with those letters In the order of their appearance In the alphabet In the course of my explanation my friend discovered that there was no street given the letter "J" and it resulted in a little research work to determine why this bad hap- Why No "J" Street? pened. From records of the Association of Oldest Inhabitants of Washington and from the office of the register of deeds, I found definitely that the letter never had been used alone although out beyond "the first alphabet" where names are used for streets and the names begin with the alphabet in regular order, there are streets whose names begin with "J." But there was no "J" etreet and never had been. Further inquiry developed what I believe to be the basic .reason, namely, similarity of the letter T and "J" when written. e Wutin lirp.per Unlin.
