HARDING PLEADS FOR
RE-ELECTION OF PRESENT
DO-NOTHING CONGRESS
Washington, Oct. 17.—The letter of
President Harding to Representative
Mondell parislng the work of Congress
which was made public Sunday,
declared by Chairman Cordell Hull, of
the Democratic National Committee in
a statement last night "to be in effect
a plea for the re-election of this Re
publican do-notblng Congress.”
“With the exception of the Republi
can members defeated in the primar
ies,” Mr. Hull said, “practically the
entire membership of this Congress
are candidates for re-election, and
when President Harding asks the
American people to approve of bla
Congress, he asks for its re-election.
“ 'It is befitting to appraise the gen
eral results,’ (of the Congress), says
President Harding, ‘which have been
bo helpful to American welfare that
they will not fail to appeal to the ap
proval of the American people.’
"This is the Harding roundabout
way of doing what President Wilson
did in 1918 In a direct way when he
asked for the election of a Democratic
Congress to old him In making a Just
peace, for which he was criticised and
•bused by Republican leaders, Repub
lican speakers and the reactionary Re
publican press.
“President Wilson’s plea waa for the
continuance of a Congress to sustain
an administration which had entered
upon and was successfully conduct
ing a great war, and which be deemed
necessary to the making of a success
ful and just peace. It came at a time
when Republicans In the Senate were
plotting to disparage him and deprive
his administration of the credit for
what It had already done and what t
planned to do.
"President Harding’s plea on the
other hand, in effect, asks the Ameri-
> condone the faults of »
Congress already discredited In the
eyes of the American people and repu
diated and denounced by Republican
leaders. Including members of his own
cabinet and the honest and intelligent
element of th* public press.
'Secretary of War Week* he* said;
that th* sitting Congress hoe reached,
the lowest ebb In the history of. the 1
country- Chairman Wood, of the BY
congressional committee, has

declared that everybody is giving this
Congress hell because It has done
nothing to stimulate business or to
benefit the farmer. Senator Borah,
Republican, of Idaho, has said, 'it Is
impossible to get anywhere in Con
gress’ and that ’conditions just move
along until wet get Into this hopeless
and absolutely deplorable mess.’ The
Boston Transcript, Republican Gospel
for all New England, declares that this
is the worst Congress in twenty years,
and this opinion has found an echo in
the press of all parties.
"In what way can Republicans, who
criticised President Wilson for asking
that his administration be sustained
In great' war crisis, Justify the plea
of President Harding in asking Ameri-
voters to give their approval to a
Republican Congress, which has Im
posed on the people the worst tariff
bill and the worst tax bill in the his
tory of the country, that has broken
practically all of its campaign prom
ises, that has done nothing to relieve
post-war distress, and that will be re
membered chiefly for having seated
