WASHINGTON. July 2o.-Rep.
Wedemeyer's colleagues are pleased
today over the speech he made In

he raked the Democrats for throwing
mud" and defended the late John Hay.
He fled the minority report on the
Day portrait voucher case.
The majority report, recommending
the dismissal OF former Chief Clerk
Michael OF the state department and
Thos. Morrison present disbursing
clerk was assailed by the minority as
"a weak partisan effort, TO make scan

1T is an attempt" said the minor
ity report, ito besmirch the memory
of one of our greatest secretaries OF
state, the late John Hay. whose shin
ing character and unfailing fairness
are In marked contrast with the re-
port of the committee, but whose
probity stands too high to be reached
by partisan prejudice.
The effort to condemn Michael
without a chance to be heard IL itself

depths of unfairness. II shows a
biased mind. which is not seeking JUS

Nor is there a particle OF evidence of

intention TO accuse officials under the
Republican administration Of dishon-
est conduct regardless OF facts and

In the meantime, Russia. England
and Germany are watching closely for
