PERSHING IN SPEECH.
REBUKES GOMPERS
Declares American Patriotism
Does Not Depend on Being 4
in Labor Union.
ISSUE OVER WAR HONORS
Military Leader Says u. S.
Must Not Be Ruled by Self
ish Organizations.

WASHINGTON. Sept.-7.-Gen. Pershing
and Samuel Gompers had a tilt last
night at a dinner given as the conclu-
sion OF the exercises here celebrating
Lafayette-Marne Day. At least official
Washington regards 1t as a clash over
labor's. part in the war.
Mr.. Gompers had spoken on the after
dinner programme and while he made
no claim that labor won the war he
did tell of the record OF the American
Federation of Labor during the war and
declared that previous to the entry of
the United States labor's sympathy was
with the cause of the allies.
Gen. Fershing. however, apparently
regarded Mr.. Gompers's remarks as a
claim that labor had won the war.
Some OF those who heard his remarks
quote him as having said substantially
"The policies of this republic are not
determined by labor unions or by any
othsr organizations; but by the con-
sersus OF opinion of its patriotic citi-
zens of whatever Affiliations.
Il want to say that every American
is a pa. RIO whether he belongs to some
labor organization or Is just an or
binary citizen and that II isn't a ques-
ton OF labor unions. 1t isn't a question
OF any organization, 1t isn't a question
whether we belong to some ASSOCIATION
or not.
1T is IA question of, whether we are
loyal citizens of the United States.
arn here to say to you that the mem
bers of the labor unions weren't the only
ones who won the war. 1t was the
citizens who inherited their patriotism
from their forefathers who came across
In the Mayflower and helped determine
and decide the Independence of America
as we'll as those who have adopted
American institutions as their own. II
seems to be about time for US to rise
and say that America shall be ruled
and governed by American citizens and
not by organizations which have their
own selfish purposes to serve"
Later to-day Mr.. Gompers issued
the following statement:
TT Is to be presumed that those who
read the extract from Gen. Pershing's
speech at the Lafayette Marine Day
banquet concluded that In my address
which preceded / had made the claim
that labor won the war. ~

Paris, Sept. 7.
Statistics show that the increase in
the population of Paris over the census

In the past. several politicians see the

Another interesting point Of the new

Although this Is natural after a long

HARDNCfS LETTER
DAZES DEMOCRATS

Presidency.
LEADERSHIP ACCEPTED
Evolution in Presidents
Mental Attitude a Notable
Recent Development.
SMARTING IN CRITICISM
Outlines Campaign Tried Out

LEADERSHIP ACCEPTED
sMARTING IN CRITICISM

Special Despatch TO THE NEW York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., Sept. !.
President Harding's letter to Sem
ator Medill Mccormick (fll.) review
ing the accomplishments Of his Ad-
ministration is regarded in Washing
ton as the opening gun in partisan
fight between Republicans and Demo-
Gratis in which every Congressional
seat at issue will be bitterly contested.
Indirectly 1t points to the far Off eiec-
tion four years hence. and is inter-
preted as President Harding's declara-
ton not only of acceptance Of full re-
sponsibility of leadership but Of de-
termination to continue that leader
ship. 2t
There are so many angles to Presi-
dent Harding's letter that political
leaders have not succeeded in analyz-
ing it fully, and it has left the Demo-
cratic leaders dazed. They had not
anticipated such straight from the
shoulder politics from the President
at least not at this time.
However dazed they may be, they
are recovering their poise and purpose
to accept the challenge. From now on,
the Democratic leaders say, the at
tacks will be centred on President
Harding directly Heretofore the
Democratic attacks have been shifted
from point to point, first the Ship
ping Board. then the railroad funding
bill, then the peace treaty, all designed
to embarrass the President. but tact
fully leaving him out of the picture.
The President has made it clear he
recognizes he is the object aimed at
in these covert attacks and that he is
willing to accept them directly, ex-
changing blow for blow.
President ~ Leader.
The letter also has made 1t clear that
the President has assumed political
leadership of his party. As its titular
head he believes It Is his task to lead
the party nationally, This evolution In
the mental attitude OF the President has
been one of the most notable develop
evidenced when Mr. Harding went be-
fore Congress TO straighten out the
tangle in which the legislators found
themselves. His leadership OF Congress
is followed by leadership of the party
as a whole.
Republicans are confident the Presi-
dents leadership will be accepted by the
country. They insist the public is
anxious to see leadership OF n positive
sort exhibited at the White House. a
leadership which will show the backbone
Of the Administration.
Democrats. mindful OF the unfortunate
experience which President Wilson had
when he attempted to secure the elec-
tion of a partisan Congress after the
war, expressed belief that the present
President will meet similar experience.
They believe his criticism Of the waste
ful extravaganza OF the last Administra-
tion, which is sizzling in character, VIII
react upon him just as Wilson's appeal
for a partisan Congress resulted in a
Republican majority in that body
II is clear the wish is father to the
thought and Republicans are not dis
turbed by 1t. They say there is abso-
