What He Thinks of
Georgia Senator
War Record

Washington, Nov. 21.-The Ford
Newberry senatorial election contest
in Michigan was laid aside by the
senate tonight probably not to come
formally before the body again for
several weeks. After a day of dis
cussion in which Henry Ford, who
is contesting the seating of Sena-z
tor Newberry. was both denounc-
ed and defended and which was
enlivened by heated tilt between
Senator'S Williams, of Mississippi,
and Watson, Of Georgia, Demo
Gratis. The election controversy
was sidetracked to make way for
the conference report on the reve-
nue. bill.
No agreement as to a date for a.
vote was reached but the under
standing developed that little fur
ther consideration would be iiven
to the case until late in December
The clash between Senator's VIII
liarls and Watson developed when
the latter attacked Mr.. Ford and
declared that left over wilson
ties" in the senate were seeking to-
retire Mr. Newberry because he
had opposed the league Of nations.
Mr. Williams said he regarded
Mr. Ford as 80 far superior in
altruism, in world sense, and In
world vision to the senator from
Georgia, (Mr. Watson) a..d myself
that I can hardly find words to zex
press it." He was Interrupted by
Mr. Watson, who declared that he
had not asked "clean bill Of
health" from Mr.. Williams, and
added: S

nlent records show that in various
items paid to Henry Ford, he was
paid for materials never delivered,
one item being for tractors, and
the amount was s5,00o,00G; that he
kept his son out of war when the
sons Of Senator Newberry were in
the war
Mr.. Watson also charged that
Mr.. Ford had assessed his em
ployees "blackmailed" them, he
said, for. $4,000 Tor mis- expense
account" Mr.. Williams denied
that Mr.. Ford had ever done sucn
a thing, and added:
Il did not approve Of Mr.. Ford's
course during the war, when the
senator from Georgia was running
with him, when they both were
trying to make peace for com-

PORTO RlCANS
ASK REMOVAL
OF RELY
President Harding's S
Appointee Charged
Wit h Dictatorial
Methods of Admin
istration

Washington, Nov. 22 (By the AS
sociated Press) ).-Senor Felix Cor
dova-Davila, resident commissioner
from Puerto Rico, was instructed in
a cablegram received today from
San Juan to request President
Harding to remove Coy. E. Mont
Rely Immediately from that Office.
The cablegram, comprising docu-
ment of 1000 ords, set forth in
detail the specific charges which
were to be preferred with the re-
quest. 1t was signed by 80 of the
5S members of the Puerto Rican
assembly.
Senor Davila announced tonight
that he would see President Hard
ing-and Secretary Weeks-at the
earliest opportunity
Declaring that Governor Reilly
had come to the island with deep
rooted prejudices,' the cablegram
asserted that his actions since then
had indicated he lacked "judicious-
ness and discretion" necessary for
the position he now holds. On the
"pretext that the president of the
senate and members Of the major
ity party were enemies of the Unit
ed States" it continued, he en-
barked on "a policy of aggression
against Puerto Ricans not person
ally addicted to him
Senor Davila denounced as trivial
the charge that Puerto Ricans had
been responsible for the fire on
board the steamship Tanamo on
which Governor Reilly and other
officials of the island administra-
ton reached New York Sunday.
"The outrageous calumny which
Rely and the sycophants travelling
with him issued on landing in New
York" Senor Daviia said. is Of a
piece with the daily drivel he has
been issuing and which has kept the
island in turmoil ever since he
landed on our shores.
Each day since he has been
down there an erstwhile peaceful
people have been indicted on some
such silly charges. They have en-
dured it as long aspossible and af-
fairs have now reached a point
swherer for the peace of the island
Reilly must come home.
RELY made a long tour through
the island which was prelude to
this trip at sea. 1t was character
lied with the same bombast and
eXaggeration and it was on the land
trip that he displayed an utter un-
worthiness for the Office he holds
and showed his gross and indecent
nature by referring to the Puerto
Rican flag as that rag. 1t would
be impossible even on the burlesque
stage to produce a pageant with
more buffoonery than the quiXotic
governor of Puerto Rico put into
that remarkable tour.
''The governor is of :'-e type who
has genius for irritating and
outraging the feelings of people.
His personality from the outset has
been offensive. His course from
the date of arrival has not only
been that of an migrate but he SUBJ
jected our people to the grossest
indignities and abuse. He has done
more in few months to stir up
trouble and restlessness than all the
other people combined who have
been there since the American oc-
cupation.
He is looked upon as a camp
follower. as incompetent, as an in
CRATE. as a charletan and, by rea-
son Of his indecent reference to the
flag OF Puerto Rico, as a creature
whose continued presence there is
an affront to our people.
