FIRE DEMOCRATS,
 IS ELKINS' PLEA
Senator Declares Republicans Impatient to Put on "Pie
 Counter Feed Bag"
By Associated Press

Washington, October 1i.-Speeding up of the replacement of democratic federal officeholders with republican appointees, was urged today by sena- tor Elkins, republican, West Virginia, who wrote a letter of complaint to every member of the cabinet and later presented his views in an in- terview with President Harding.
 To the President, senator Elkins declared that republicans of his state were expressing "lmpauence and dls- appointment that SC httle progress had been made in the last eight ,uontns m caling to the support ot she administration men loyal to II and m tull sympathy with it.''
 large majority of the important positions in the government, the West Virginia senator asserted, still are hetd by "deseRying de hocrats.' whose party members, he charged with hav- ing laid "a thoroughly organized and 4droitiy handled plan" to heep their dppointees in power.
 In the campaign" said Senator El- kins in statement issued at the White House." the republicans ~harged and believed, and convinced the American people 10 the erect that these men were inefficient The re- publican party promised to rid the government or these appolntees. The republican party was voted the re- sponsibllity and to discharge it suc- cessfully, it's members should be called into to help with the job"

WATSON SEEKS ID
 REWELD FACTIONS
Indiana Senator Believes In Government By Party and
 Ready for Compromises
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washinxton Bureau, The Age Herald.
 300 Davidson Building

Washington, October 14.-(SpeciaD Senator James E. Watson of Indiana. who has supplanted Senator Henry c. Lodge of Massachusetts. as repub- lican leader of the Senate. has with engaging frankness dedicated him. self to revealing of the discordant republican factions in Congress.
 Twitted in the Senate by Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi because of tho surrender of the "Old Guard" to the progressives in the matter Of tax legislation, the Indiana senator exclaimed that he believed in gov ernment by parties, by the republican party, and would make any reason able compromise to prevent the reins falling into the hands of the demo- crats.
 There had never been plainer statement of principle abandonment and espousal of expediency in the senate of the United States.
 Seeks Solidarity
 As previously pointed out in this correspondence. the "Old Guard" is alive today because it surrendered rather than fight the battle to the death. It is obvious that Senator Watson, in the role of new leader of the party in Congress. is determined to bring back all factions into q state of solidarity. He Is playing the role of the, modern great paci- ficator." He Is primarily a politician and very intelligent politician Hs

knows that the republican party, divided in the Senate to such eXrent that 1t could not function. and was at the mercy of democrat-progres sive coalition, was fast drifting upon the shoals of national defeat.
 Democrats admit that Senator Wat son can do very much to stem the tide. He is not arrogant like Speaker Cannon was arrogant. He Is shrewd. first. and conciliatory. If he suc- ceeds In winning the progressives to the support of republican measures by offering them plausible substi- tutes and compromises, he will pre- vent division in the party, nation- ally, and make certain the recollection of President Harding, 1t is believed.
 Charges FiIibuster
 In replying to the speech of Sena- tor Harrison. Senator Watson chai ged that the democrats ware engaged in an '.unostentatious" filibuster against the tax bill. the railroad re- funding bill, and legislation adjust ing the indebtedness of European na- tions to the United States. for the purpose of postponing the enactment of the tariff bill until the opening of the congressional campaigns next year.
 This was political. admittedly. Re- garding the tariff. there is no more republican desire for the enactment of that bill than democratic. It has been sidetracked completely despite that it was for its consideration that Congress was called into extraord'- nary session. It Is indefinitely post poned by general consent. Senator Watson. by charging a filibuster. att tempted to put the republican party in the clear before the country. and to win progressives to the support of the railroad refunding bill. and the measure which would give Sec retary Mellon sole authority in deal ing with European countries regard ing their indebtedness to the United States.
 Contentious Differ
 Senator Watson. by his course of conciliation. will strengthen the re- publican party Tn the Senate But there is very grave doubt that he will be able to pilot successfully the Presidents bill involving the refund ing of the railroads. The President says his scheme Is one of bookkeep- ing. Othsrs. however. contend that

it IS a scheme further to enrich the railroads.
 It is the general impression that Secretary Mellon should not be given carte blanche authority to adjust the debts of s11.000. 100000 which Euro pean nations owe the United states. Sentiment is apparently crystalized against that proposed legislation.
 So Senator Watson, despite his suavity, captivating and appealing in circles entirely political, might be riding to fall.

INTENSIVE EFFORT NEEDED.

American Committee for China Famine Fund In state
ment issued by Thomas w. Lamont It's chairman, an
nounces that the relief work has reached the half
way mark and that 100000 destitute must be carried
through to late June on funds s to be raised in this
country That statement should appeal to the charitable
impulse OF Delswareans
Because OF the urgent and immediate need Of these mil
lions OF starving men, and children, the commit
tee entering upon its most intensive Embarrassing effort
extending all over the United States It has designated
the eight days from May 10 May inclusive, China
Famine Week" Leading mp TO that special period OF ap-
peal Alfred Soa-ke Sze Chinese Minister to The United
States Sherwood Eddy dormer secretary for Asia
Of the International Committee OF the Y NJ c. A, will
visit several OF the leading cities in this country on
speaking present expert Information regarding the
famine
quick response to the appeal OF the American Com
miltee China Famine Fund" says Mr. Lamont gives
at the halfway point in work the cheering as
surance that the subscriptions from generous America
already have served great humanitarian purpose, in
reicf already administered has he the famine
in bounds and made it possible for America TO save
multitude OF human beings
Early estimates made 10 seem that millions must per-
ish Americans advised that instead OF the TO-
10000 Who it was originally feared doomed to
sources American Chinese and foreign, is sufficient to
provide scsnty ratons until the June harvest for all ex
copt 5OoO0o famine victims. These last 100000 are
destitute according latest reports from the American
Advisory Committee in Peking and dependent for
existence upon help coming from outside sources
and that means America.
I is the earnest hope Of the committee that the num-
her of contributions made we'll the aggregate will
be such 20 make our humanitarian gif in real
