WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-After six
months of truce that was more apparent
than real the Democratic and Republican
parties have come out in the open and
gone back to partisan politics. The Dem
hocrats have begun an attack on the ad-
ministration and, as usual, the incumbent
party fights back with assertions of great
achievement.
Behind the scenes there hasn't been
kany truce at all. Deserving Republicans
have been clamoring for offices and Ousted
Democrats have reluctantly let go. Chair
man George White of the Democratic ma
tional committee started out with plan
of standing behind the President for pa
Striotic reasons and kept his henchmen
from kicking over the traces too soon in
partisan attack. But the action of the
I Republicans in excluding the Democrats
ffrom the ways and means committee meet
ings. at which the tariff and tax measures
were discussed indicated that the non
partisan days of the war were not to be
repeated and. that il was a free-for-all
| fight along the same lines as existed be-
fore the war when the Democrats framed
ftheir administration measures in party
conferences.
Different from Wilson Times.

/ to normally in politics. much comment is
heard upon the fact that President Hard

The making of artificial pearls is a

been regarded as an impropriety, although
Mr.. Wilson's letter to Democratic sena-
tors apropos of congressional elections
were made the basis for widespread critl-
cism.
The difference today is that the fighting
is back on the old lines with apologists
for the administration arguing that Presi-
dent Harding is the greatest president
since Lincoln and opponents contendlng
that most everything done thus far is all
wrong and that dire predictions about
business depression have been confirmed
The amusing part of the spectacie-for
most of it is too artificial to be taken
seriously--is that the Democrats are
shouting about the good old days of
Democratic prosperity" when working
mems wages were high and the business
mems profits were plentiful, while the
Republicans in turn are pointing the I'M
ger of blame at the war extrayaganceS of
the Democrats in pi1ing up a tax burden
that seemingly can't be reduced.
Meanwhile General Pershing and Sam
ucl GOmpers are having a newspaper de-
bate on the subject of after-dinner speak
/ ing and are reviVing the controversy as
to who won the war. Mr.. Gompers is dis
appointed with the attitude of the Repub-
lican administration toward labor and is
making speeches saying that 100000
men out of work is proof of the fact that
the wOrkingmen who wanted u change got
lwhat they voted for. Other labor leaders
are crying that while congress takes a
vacation there are millions of workingmen
who are also taking vacation" but with
out pay.

HARDWICK
ANSWERING TEW
Urges Senator To Be Patient And
Saws He Will Learn For Him
celf In Capital

ATLANTA, Oct. Ex-Governor
Thomas W. Hardwick late Saturday
gave out statement in reply to the
editorial attack made ON his admin
istration in the current issue of the
Columbia Sentinel, Senator Thomas
E. Watson's paper. Governor Hard
week says Senator Watson's statement
is criticism of the legislature, which
failed to enact the reforms he had
urged His statement in full fol-
lows:
Every citizen of Georgia has the
undoubted right to freely express any
opinion with respect to any
public matter, or in criticism of any
administration, national or state. The
present governor is never restless or
resentful when any citizen exercises
that right.
so far as any important matter
is touched upon in Senator Watson's
recent statement, | take it that the
senator's statement is not d criti-
cism of me so much as upon the
legislature, as urged upon the legis-
lature the adoption of the very re-
forms that he mentions, and it is my
earnest hope that at it's next session.
when practically all of its time is
not absorbed in an effort to solve
the states financial difficulties, these
things may be accomplished. If not,
it shall not be my fault.
"In the meantime, | can only urge
the senator to be patient. l think
he will learn from his service in
Washington that he will not be able
to accomplish all he would Ike to
accomplish there, and that he GER
tainly will not be able to do so right
away. In like manner the governor
of this state can only urge these re-
forms upon the legislature and upon
the people. He is not the boss OF
either
"The present administration is, of
course, not perfect, but it has done
the best it could in most difficult
situation, and l am day after day CIV
ing an account Of my stewardship
direct to the people, prepared to both
Justify and defend it against all
corners"
