pro-
Sena-
tor Couzens said he was not at all
convinced that Senator Borah could
point the way for revivification of the
elephant’s carcass and gave every indi-
cation, according to the view taken
here, that he believed the one success-
ful course for the party lay in offering
a constructive program rather than
constant criticism of the New Deal
without offering substitute for it.
While Mr. Borah’s demand for Mr.
Fletcher’s resignation caused some
comment it did not stir the waters like
Mr. Fletcher’s reply.
promptly showed fight. He said that
to step out at this time would “plunge
the party organization into confusion.”
He pointed out that there is machinery
by which changes can be accomplished
in the party organization through the
calling of a special meeting of the na-
tional committee. This can be done on
petition of sixteen members from slx-

by M. J. Miller, field representative
of the Emergency Relief Adminh-I
tration. Steps will have to be utken’
between now and that date to have!
legislatures of each state take
action toward providing for such I
dependents. Mr. Miller was quoted ;
as saying, “On and after Feb. 1,'
1935, funds made available, to the
states by the Federal Relief Admin- *
istration can not be used for the
care and maintenance of these un-1
employables. The responsibility for
their care will rest on the local
city, county and state officials.” He
further said that relief administra-
I tions of the states will be asked to

state and local authorities in see-
ing that the transfer is properly
made with the least possible incon-
venience to those affected.
At about the same time the an-
nouncement was being made rela-1
tive to the regional changes which1
will no doubt be made to cover the I

Washington. — Senator William E.
Borah of Idaho, sometimes denominut-
ed as a. progies-
r Letcher Sive Republican, has
Will Stick sought out the front
' pages of newspapers
again with a demand for reorganiza-
tion of the Republican party,} He
called for the resignation of‘Henry
P. Fletcher as chairman .of’ the
Republican national committee and
was promptly met with a digni-
fied declaration from the chairman that
he had no intention of resigning and,
■ further, that he intended to see what
could be done with the present carcass
of the elephant that was trod upon so
badly In the last two elections.
That declaration would appear to
have been enough to stop the Idaho
senator temporarily, but it failed and
he was back again on the front page
with another press statement to the
general effect that the present leader-
ship In the Republican party would
amount to little more than a huge joke
unless there were reorganization, re-
suscitation or reincarnation or some-
thing else. It seems, however, that the
second blast by Senator Borah was
more than an ordinary dose because it
aroused Senator James Couzens of
Michigan, another individual who en-
joys labeling himself as a
Republican. The Michigan senator
fired back at Senator Borah a chal-
: lenge that the Idalia .senator write
I something equivalent to a new
Waggonei j gram for the Republican party. ,

One of the crowning events of
the Yuletide efforts toward bring-
ing happiness to children will be
the annual Christmas party at the
Grand Theatre, Monday morning.
The Home Theatre company will
be host to every chlid in Electra
and is extending a special invita-
tion to those children who might
not otherwise be remembered. Cars
will be sent to bring those who can-
not otherwise get to the show that
morning at 10 o’clock. Bags of fruit,
candy and nuts will be provided
and a splendid program, suitable
for children will be presented. This
