REPUBLICANS DEFEND IT.
Willis, Recently Appoint
ed By Harding, One
of Defenders
CBy Associated Press.i

Washington, Oct, 27.-Pres-
ident Harding's address on the
race question at Birmingham
evoked statements today from
democratic senators criticising
the executives remarks and
from republican senators COM
mending the presidents posi-
tiOn.
Dem0crats who criticised the
speech included Senators Harri-
son, of Mississippi, Watson, of
Georgia, Heflin, of Alabama,
and Mcclellan, of Tennessee.
Republicans who, in formal
statements, declared their ap-
proval of it, included Senators
Calder, of New York, Spencer,
of Missouri, and Willis, of Ohio.
The democrats declared that
the Presidents remarks on the
race question were inopportune
and that his policies would tend
toward social equality of the
negro with the whites. Senator
Watson, of Georgia, said the
presidents speech was unfortu-
nate and mischievious.

No Other Man Has Ever
Gone Through Such
an Experience
CBy Associated Press.D

Washington, Oct, 27.-Sav-
ed from being thrown out of
the house or representatives
by a bare margin of eight votes
Thomas L. Blanton, a Texas
democrat, was publicly repri-
.snanded late today by Speaker
Gillette in accordance with a re-
solution of censure against
which no man cast a single
vote.
Then a moment later, as he
walked out of the chamber with
all eyes upon him, he toppled
over in a heap. Some of his col
leagues who had voted to eXpel
him picked him up and placed
him on a lounge. But he did not
stay there long. Rousing him
self he stumbled out, the tears
streaming down his cheeks,
and as he went away he was
heard to express the hope that
he might never see the House
again.
There was no doubt Of the
fact, as members expressed it,
that the Texan was utterly
crushed and worn by his eXper-
ience of the day, an experience
that seldom comes during the
life of a man in congress. For
an hour and ten minutes with
hostile eyes upon him he fought
to defend himself from the
charge that he had transgress-
ed the law by putting into the
congressional Record a docu-
ment described as "unspeaka-
bly, vile"
Fate Depended On Attitude
Before he got up to speak in his
own behalf it was the view of Re-
Dublicans and Democrats alike that

of speeches in Georgia reconse-
Grating his administration to
the task of finally obliterating

Georgians that it was one of
his very fondest hopes to see
his presidency bring north and
south into complete harmony
and cooperation.
AT Tie statue of Henry w.

derstanding and good will" to
include all the world and gave
notice that if the ornaments
conference fails to bring the
nations into complete concord

Many thousands heard and
cheered the chief executive at
the monument and a small ga
thering of business men ap-
plauded him when he expressed
a similar plea for understand

Hills Country Club. Applause
greeted him the length Of a
street parade along the route
of which thousands crowded
the sidewalks and cross streets

voice to make it carry even to those

a point where the big storm
bids fair to soon be nothing
more than a memory. Any perS

the downtown section of the

number of sidewalk awnings
whose friendly shade was
sought in summer time by pc

there remains plate glass win

But all storm debris is gone,
thanks to the hard work done
by the city's street cleaning de-

workers. All street lights were
on in full blast down town and
the several white ways were
as bright as ever.
Street car service was re-
stored in part today and will
reach further oNt tomorrow.
There was some extension also
of light and power for homes
and industrial plants. The tele-
phone company restored a great
number of phones to working
order. Both telegraph compa-

Tampa was in communication
