BORAH NOT ALLIED WITH BLOC,
SENATOR SPEAKS FOR HIMSELF
A Few Legislators Follow Him Willingly; Others Are
Compelled to Do So By Own Political
Situation

more of the national viewpoint. much
larger and prompter accomplishment
where our differences are along party
lines in the loftier sense, than to di-
vide geographically, or according to
pursuits, or personal following" Both
Hardings manner. as well as his
words, We're ingratiating and persua-
sive rather than truculent. What
Harding said did not excite the farmer
bloc very much. They took notice of
it. They knew very well that he was
talking about them, but they sand
nothing.
A few days later, however. Secretary
Weeks, in speech delivered at New
York, took up the same subject. His
complaint of the farmer bloc was much
more direct and specific. Not only
did he criticize the same thing of
which Harding had complained. He
went farther. He said that the pres
ent organization of the lower house of
congress. insofar as it takes power
away from the leaders and diffuses it
among committees, Is mistake. He
criticized specific items of legislation
and he left little doubt OF his unfavor-
able opinion, OF legislation promoted
by special groups. Among other
things, he said:
THE changing of the rules of the
house of representatives has weakened
party government. has encouraged the
organization of special groups. and has
resulted, and will continue ~ result.
in special legislation not representing
the action of the majority but fore
IDLY enacted, by combinations of di-
vergent interests. The immediate re-
suit OF this situation has been violent
criticism of congress"
This criticism of congress by a men,
bcr OF the cabinet brought instant re-
action. The first gun was fired by
Congressman Tincher of Kansas. While
he talked back to Secretary Weeks.
he was careful to say that he docs not
belong to the farmer p;oc. There were
some pungent sentences in Congress
man Tinchcr's reply to Weeks. Among
other things he said:
Il may some day be called upon TO
apologize for my Republicanism. I
belong to no bloc. l have never used
any ad1ectives to describe my Republi-
canism. If occasion ever requires that
I make apologies for my party loyalty.
l will not begin making these apollo
gies to a Massa achusetts Republican. I
know that 1t Is popular, when up in
New York making speech. to con-
denim the American farmer in a run
about way. and 1t In generally popular
any where to condemn the American
congress. I suppose / have the COM
pany OF all the other members OF con-
grcss in my amazement at the attack
made upon congress by the secretary
OF war"
Unfortunately, from the point OF
view OF being convincing. or OF Great
Ing a clear Issue. Congressman Tinch-
| er made the mistake of introducing

retary Weeks criticism of conErcs,
was inspired by the fact that congress

Weeks was moved by no such petty

BY MARK SULLIVAN


Washington, d. c., Dec. 17.-When
Senator Borah takes an attitude of
vigilant scrutiny of the work of the
armament conference, or of President
Harding, he is not speaking for the
farmer bloc. He speaks for himself
and for such as choose to follow HIM
Borah's following Is a bloc in itself.
There are a few senators who follow
him willingly and a number of others
who are frequently compelled by their
own political situation to follow him
with varying degrees of unwillingness
Borah's following outside the senate
considered in its size and in It's quality,
Is as powerful as the personal follow
ing that any other public man in the
United States has. But there Is no
identity between Borah and the farm
er bloc.
Borah doesn't train with blocs of any
kind. AS many persons As care to
follow him can do so, but Borah never
merEes his views with those OF any
other senator's. He goes his own gait
takes what position he chooses and
those who want to can follow him and
take whatever praise or blame may
attach thereto from their constituents.
The schism between Borah and the
Republican administration is one thing
the schism between the farmer bloc
and the administration is another
thing.
The truth Is. Borah comes close to
being what the Democratic party
ought to be. In an intellectual sense,
Borah lfuIfr1ls the functions of an op-
position party. Every time the con-
ference takes any step, the instant
reaction of the newspaper reporters is
to find out whether Borah approves it
or not. After the conference adopts
n treaty, it isn't Underwood or 1far-
rison or any of the other Democratic
sena ators whose telephone bells begin
to ring. 1t is Borah who is called to
the telephone ten times an hour after
every conference decision, by news
paper men who want to inform the
country whether Borah approves or
not. Borah alone and in himself is a
kind of fourth estate He is in a
sense a force outside the administra-
ton, and outside any party.
OF course, 1t Is in foreign affairs that
Borah's position is most prominent.
from the armament conference, 1t Is
the schism with the farmer bloc that
gives most worry to the administration
and to tho Republican party leaders.
Everybody has known that sooner or
later the challenge of the farmer bloc
and within the present month the ad-
miuistration leaders have begun to
take steps to meet the challenge.
When Harding, in his message at
the opening OF the present session,
spoke In his characteristically mild
way OF the necessity and desirability
of maintaining party government. he
was taking rather bciatcdly and after
the exercise of much patience. the ad-
vice OF the party leaders who have
been urging him that his administra-
tion would be wrecked by the faction
alism In congress. unless he took steps

paratively mild. He merely said.
among other things. that there is
vastly greater security. immensely

joiring in the expression of resentment
agai inst Secretary Weeks
The two things, criticism of a Re-
publican congress by member OF the
cabinet. and heated reply to that
criticism by the Republican leader of
congress, constitute sensational cpl
sole.
The fact is the situation is sensa-
'ional, and would be more widely
recognized as such If the public a<tcn-
sion We're not diverted from domestic
politics by the Armament Conference.
This schism between the Republican
administration and the farmer bloc is
going to compose the most important
aspect OF politics in Washington until
r !,
can be no denying the power of the
farmers. 1t is true the bloc is not
large enough to dominate the Repub-
lican party in congress, but 1t is large
enough to unite with the Democrats
at any time. and by that union to die
tate legislation. That is what is hap
pening with increasing momentum.
When the Republican leaders criticize
the Republican members in the farm
er bloc for uniting with the Democrats,
the members of the farmer bloc just
laugh. They feel that they are secure
| in their offices, and in their franchise
! from their constituents at home. They
are not subject to discipline by the
Republican leaders.
Stated broadly. the positions which
| they unusually take are The popular is
sues. They are the beneficiaries OF
| that latest feeling. always consider
able in American politics. which takes
kindly to insurgents. They are the
| beneficiaries also of much of what is
| left of the old spirit that expressed it
self in the progressive movement. All
| in all. the farmer bloc Is a formidable
| institution. Whether Harding and the
other administration leaders shall try
to overcome it. or. on the other hand,
| shall bow to 1t and, let it dominate the
party action in congress. is the ques-
| tion that will form the most interest
| ing aspect OF the immediate future OF
| affairs at Washington. 1t Is going 10

legislation. but perhaps most con-
spicuously OF all on the tariff. What

which there Is no answer now appar-
