 Washington, April A.-(Special.) )-Sena- tor Lodge, leader of the republican party in the Senate, is still resentful that Senator Harrison of Mississippi, demo- crat, discussed the appointment by the President of Col. George Harvey to be ambassador to Great Britain, and his confirmation by the Senate.
 He is in high dudgeon. He tells news paper correspondents, when pressed for the statement of a reason, thz-4 Senator Harrison was in violation of the spirit of the rules regarding an executive ses- sion of the Senate; and that Senator Har- rison should not have discussed an ac- tion that had already been taken when such discussion would necessarily em- barrass the man who will represent this country in England
 Senator Harrison is amused at Senator Lodge. He reminds his questioners that he asked that the confirmation of Harvey be conducted in the open, in that the people of the United States might know just what kind of man he is; and that Lodge objected because he knew. among other things that certain democrats would review the political history of Harvey He adds that the Senate made public the vote by which Harvey vas confirmed. and this act entitled senators to explain just why they voted for or against the appointee.
 WILL HAVE EFFECT
 Irrespective of the nicety of that point in parliamentary ethics, the Senate de- bate regarding Harvey was not only sen sational, but almost epochal. It shook the capitol. It's effect will long be felt in the country at large, and must of ne- cessfty have a reflection in the countries of Europe. For in course of his incom- parable diatribe, Senator Harrison proved that Harvey in his paper had ridiculed Lloyd George as heartlessly as he had ridiculed Presidents Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson, and various members of the United States Senate.
 It was stated in this correspondence some weeks ago that Senator Harrison would make just such an address. The senator was well heeled as far as facts and language were concerned. lie con victed Harvey, if convicted he was, ous of his own mouth, his editorials hav- ing been made the basis of practically all that was said. His charges were sen satienal beyond all question.
 VIRGIN MARY INCLUDED
 Senator Reed democrat took advan- tage of the Harrison opening to defend Harvey the republican party and the ap- pointive power to ridicule former Pres- ident Wilson and the League of Nations, and to gloat over the fact that last No- vember the republicans carried many states which in normal times are demo- cratic Senator Lodge followed with an attempted rebuke to Senator Harrlson' and a reference to the mentality of liar vey. Senator Heflin, in his turn, flayed the traducers of the former President, the democratic party, and the League of Nations. Senators Norris and Ashurst contributed their mites. All in all, as re- 1sult, the day was epoch-making.
 Senator Harrison charged, and read Harvey's editorials to substantiate his charge that Colonel Harvey supports a party in desire of personal preferment' and that he turns against party when his ambition is not gratified He charged that Harvey not only ridiculed the President. who was helpless as an in- valid, but that he ridiculed Mrs. Wilson, that he ridiculed Taft and Roosevelt, and even the Virgin Mary. He concluded with a contention that Harvey cannot properly represent the United States in Englano because he has made the bitterest at- tacks against Lloyd George attacks Tn which he sought by ridicule to make the first man in England appear tool Ill the hands of interested people. Regard ] ing the e1OurndnStlC Ienlptrdilicilt oi 'Aeei vey, Senator Harrison said:
 Few men in the history of Journai- ism have possessed to more remark able degree, qualities of genius for v1o- lent expression, caustic criticism and the power through fair or foul means to em- ploy cogent phrases intended to appeal to prejudice and to arouse hatred and re- sentiment He is remarkable in that his whole life has been one of inconsistency and vacillation. He never remained true to any purpose, loyal to any friend. or steadfast to any conviction. He is we'd ded to no principle or bound by no con science He is writer of the most cum ming and dangerous species, and master ir fomentine trouble and aggravating delicate situations. As creator or prejudice and strrer of strife, he has 10 equal He is a vindictiye, self anointed intolerent political accident There is not statesman of this gener- ation who has not been praised and abused. glorified and malgned, elevated sand deoased eulogized and .cussed' at one time or another by George Harvey, the violence or mildness of his express sions being controlled by the exigencies of the moment and his temperamental condition There was never such an un- suited and united individual 4n all the history of this country by training, tenn perament and environment to take up the important duties as our representative at the court Of St. James.
