Washington, October 7.--(Special.)
Warren @. Harding, President of the
United States. is quoted as having
exphessed a conviction that the peo-
be calamttous to elect a democratic
house.
That the President made such a
abatement is declared to be true by
Representative Wood of Indiana,
chairman of the depublican con-
gressionai campaign committee.
There Is no doubt that the Presf-
dent was persuaded by Mr.. Wood that
such an utterance would rebound to
the advantage of the republican
party about to face the people in
the November elections.
Representative James r. Byrnes OF
South Carolina doubts that the ad-
vice given the President by Mr..
Wood was good advice. or that the
President was wise in attempting to
paint the impr essions of the people.
Mr.. Byrnes. after SO doubling, pro-
cseds to convict the President Of mis-
Judgment, and convicts him by his
own witnesses.
Mr.. Byrnes says: 'Tt is difficult
OF belief that the President Is COR
Pectly quoted. At any rate, his al
legged statement is in direct conflict
with that Of John w. Weeks, secrs-
tary of War, SO often the spokes-
man of the President. Mr.. Weeks
said: The legislative branch of our
national government probably never
has been at lower ebb than It Is to-
day 1t has almost become a habit
to say disparaging things about
Congress-

Certainly the President would not
be convinced that the people would
regard the election of democratic
House calamitous we're he apprised
of the opinion of Mr.. Wood, himself.
November IT, 1921. on the floor OF
the House, this man who is now
charged with the reelection of a
republican House. exclaimed:
AT the same time, there 10 no
doubt but that Wood was speaking
the truth. And the President must
now agree with me that the election
of a democratic House would not De
a calmity but blessing.
There is proof that the President
holds a contrary view than that I'M
piled by Wood. Former Senator Ken
yon of Iowa, in speaking of the seat
ing of Senator Newberry. declared:
My Godl You can never lessen the
dignity of the Senate after todayr
VERY soon Thereafter, the Prest-
dent, doubtless recognizing the &C
curacy of the judgment of the sena-
tor, rewarded him with federal
judgeship In Iowa"
