Senator Copper Insists
 Weeks WiU Quit Cabinet

TOPEKA, June 23.-United States Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas, III a special dispatch to his newspaper here declared that Secretary of War aarohn w. Weeks was out of tune with
 le Harding administration He as- serted that if Weeks did not resign his resignation might very properly be requested by the President Cap per's attack on Weeks is caused by an address which the secretary. made week ago at Western Reserve Univer- sity at the commencement exercises. Weeks frankly expressed pessimistic view of the predominant tendencies in American political thought, charg- ing that the drift of political economy in recent years was gradually weak ening the governmental structure ot this country. He declared that radl- cal thinking was undermining the con stitution and sweeping away party re- sponsibility, and said that in the pub lie mlnQ the leSlSldLlFe ldhtn ol 'iiS government was at the lowest ebb in it's history. Weeks also assailed the direct primary system of nominating candidates for office declaring that i1 lessened the quality of the men who were willing to serve, and recommend- ed that it be abolished
 Capper's sharp criticism of Weeks is based on the secretary's statements as above with particular reference to the Agricultural Bloc in the national legislature, of which Capper is one or the leaders.
