Brumit said.

HARRISON RAPS
MAJORITY PARTY

washington, Dec. 1.-The RGpubli-
can party's leadership from President
Harding down was assailed in a
speech in the senate today by Sena-
tor Harrison (Democrat of Missis-
sippi, who declared Mr.. Harding was
doing the Every things for which he
as senator had denounced President
Wilson,"
The presidents message to con-
gress yesterday, he added, constituted
an appeal to partisonship and a warn
ing to Republicans TO disavow THEN
allegiance TO the "bloc" organization.
Mr.. Harrison attacked the senate
Republican leaders, saying they had
shifted and hoped until none Of US
know where or when or why"
Secretary Mellon also was denounc-
ed as seeking, in his annual report of
the treasury department, to "help
along" the ideas of President Harding
with respect "to relieving the rich"
of heavy taxation. The Mississippi
senator added he was "paincd' to sec
the regular session of congress start
off so inauspiciously, saying tha5 with
the appeal of the president "for Il par
tisan lineup" it was apparent that
the policy of abandonment" which
characterized the extra session W, aid
be continued.
When Mr.. Wilson opposed or u".ccd
legislation, Mr.. Harrison continued
LN \
him as dictator and an autocrut,'
and when Mr.. Wilson issued his ap-
peal in 1918 for the election CT Il
Democratic congress, Mr.. Harding
was equally bitter in his denounce-
ment.
Yet we have the spectacle" he
said, "of the president coming here
and making a speech against The SCI
der bonus, thing unprecedented.
Then yesterday he came here and ap
pealed to the agricultural group to
line up, to get behind the party ban
ner."
He added, however, that it might
have been that the president was call
line up and retain the seat of Scna-
tor Newberry of Michigan, now under
contest by Henry Ford in connection
with the 1918 election, as matter
of party policy.
This statement sprecipitated a de-
bate on the Newberry case which is to
be decided next month, in which half
dozen senators participated. The dis
cussion also involved the league of
nations
Mr. Harrison, however, returned to
discussion of the presidents mes
sage with the remark that the New
sage with the remark that the New
berry case was $50 nauseating that
do not want to hook it up with The
league of nations"
Continuing, he said he was conf
dent there had been misprint in
the presidents message where Mr.
Harding had expressed appreciation
of the "signal achievements" of the
extra session. What the president
meant, he added. was, probably, ":;in
gle" achievement, for otherwise the
message appeared "most contradic
tory and conflicting"
The action of the house in fixing
SO per cent surtaX rate in the reye-
nue. bill, he declared, constituted \
"plain reputation" of the executives
stand. 1t was apparent, he added,
that the house action had "riled the
president considerably"
"But / insist" he said, that the
age and they told the president where
to get off"
