WASHINGTON, April 11.-Driving
car manufactured in the congress
sional district he represents, Richard
n. Elliott and Mrs. Elliott speeded
over the Allegheny mountains as east
ly as gliding along an Indiana pike.
They arrived here from Connersyille,
Ind, in three short days, though they
made no effort to establish a record.
The roads are good most of the way
especially the paved mountain roads
of Maryland
Out in Indiana nobody seems to
know Just what should be done yet
everybody thinks that Congress should
do something" commented Represen-
tative Elliott.
Mr.. Elliott is one of the most valu-
able members of the Indiana congress
sional delegation and he enjoys wide
popularity with his colleagues no mat
ter from what state they come. He
can listen to good story as well as
tell good story and his chuckle MAJ
be heard up and down the Capitol cor
ridors when he hears something funny.
Mr.. Elliott and the late Champ Clark
used to swap stories every time they
met.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. - President
Harding is being urged by Republican
Senators and House members to make
"house cleaning" in the departments
and get rid of large number of
Democrats who have been kept over in
Office from the days Of the Wilson Ad-
ministration
AS the time approaches for the Re-
publicans in Congress, who want re-
election to prepare the way for the
next Congressional campaign, pressure
on the President, as well as the de-
partment heads. for the ousting of
Democrats and fer replacing them with
Republicans grows stronger. Of course,
many Democrats are under civil serv-
ice, and they are immune from dismis-
SAL except on charges.
The charge is being freely made by
Republicans in Congress and outside
of Congress that the Harding Admins
tration is retaining many Democrats
in the different departments in i'm
portant positions, and as a result they
are enabled to have an influence on
the selection of the personnel of Of
fees and on promotions. Republican
employees in some of the departments
and bureaus are complaining to Sena-

The President has been furnished

ask which he puts first. Working back

assumed that as the Secretary of State
has several times played golf with the
President, this game is at the top OF
the list.
The Secretary has on several occa-

games of cards, but it is, of course, to
be presumed that this knowledge is
purely theoretical.
