WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.—Th.-.t
the Republican party is on the brink
of disaster is the conclusion frankly
reached at a conference of leaden
in Washington this week. Conceded
failure of the huge G. O. P. majority
in congress to satisfy the country -,
expectations of taxation and tariff
reform is the cause of alarm. What
leaders said to themselves in cold
i blooded candor, is that the party has
t I ot kept its campaign pledges to th-
people. They are convinced that
the situation is such as to threaten
c-verwheming rebuke at the 1922
elections.
No one is more upset over the
. state of affairs than Senator Pen-
t rise. He did not mince words in hi i
discussion of it with organization

ate finance committee told them it
