WEEK’S SPEECH CALLS DOWN MUCH WRATH Secretary of War Is Object of Strong j Criticism. PERSONAL VIEWS Hits Direct Primary and Objects to Prohibition. Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. BY ltOlllKT BARKY. WASHINGTON, June 17.—Although harsher things about the primary system la American polities had been uttered previously by President Harding, the remarks by Secretary ot War Weeks at Cleveland haie added another sharp controversy to Washington’s already s:minering political season. The Cat in;t officer brought down on his head a storm of criticism in Congress no less a personage than Majority Header Monileli, Republican candidate lor senatorial houors, joining in tue rebuttal. The Weeks attack on the primary system and i.is critical references to prohibition invited special attack in Congress. Progressive Republicans, happy over the outcome of party primsues in Indiana, Pennsylvania and lowa, were quick to resent reflection on the wisdom of ithe popular cnoiee nominees for Congress. "Dry” members who were expecting to “point Jt'th pride’’ to the enforcement record of the Harding Administration, feared the effect in the Mi idle West of the War Secretary’s slam on the Constitutional atnendement. NOT DISCUSSED WITH HARDING. , Mr. Weeks called at the White House, but announced he ha 1 uot discussed his address with Mr. Harding. It was stated emphatically he had not outlined the speech to the President before its delivery.* and that it in no way could bo construed as a reflection of White House opinion. The Cabinet otiieer was seeking primarily to offer effective response to the address by Senator Robert M. LaKollette of Wisconsin before the American Federation of Labor at Cincinnati, Wednesday. The Senator had criticized the Supreme Court of the United Stares, Chief Justice Taft, and “sovereignty” was being “wr>efed from the people.*’ -- It was said, furthermore, Mr. Weeks sought to make it clear he was speaking as an individual |Citizen and not as a Republican leader nor a Cabinet officer. Some surprise aro.se over the congressional agitation relative to his broadside against prohibition.’ Just now the Weeks statements assumed greater importance due to the row over sale of liqlior on* American ships and after Commissioner Haynes had Issned a boastful statement on results of Republican enforcement . MONDELL TAKES SHARP ISSUE. Majority Leader Mondell. taking sharp issue with the Cabinet officer’s estimate of the presenc Republican Congress, added: "AVe are not responsible for the sophomorlo utterance of gentlemen, who lti there, may express peculiar v’ews.” Senator George Norris. progressive Republican of Nebraska, gave ex pros sion to an especially sharp attack oil Secretary Weeks, who, he said, was opposed to direct primaries "on the theory that the people’ are nut sufficiently intelligent to select their officials” and de- ! scribed the secretary's argument as fa- ; voring “a return to monarchy.” “If I believed our people were not In-1 teliigent enough to nominate their can j didates for office, I, too, would advocate j the establishment of a monarchy,” the | Senator said. “Those who are opposed i to the primary system are dMng what the kaiser did when he said he derived his power from God. One of the stifteleents of Secretary Weeks is that the primary has a tendency to abolish partisanship in government. If that were tlie only thing it ever did, it would je.stify its existence, if tb. re is one single evil in the Government today it is the evil of arbitrary partisanship which forces Senators to come into the saying, ‘What is my vote? Where does the committee stand?’ “RIBBEB STAMP IN USE AGAIN.” “He said the Democratic Congress was a rubber stamp, but the rubber stamp is over here cow, St seems. There is a different boss. The people did not get relief; they only changed bosses. No wonder Congress is not in good standing before the people. Mr. Weeks was retired from the Senate because the people, when they got a chance, took advantage of the occasion to beat him. President Harding, when he was running for President, ’ never got. to first base wherever there was a presidential primary.” “Mr. Weeks says Congress now is at Us lowest ebb,” declared Representative Ganner of Texas, a Democratic leader in the House, “and of course it is at its lowest ebb. The reason is the Republicans have the greatest majority they ever had in this body. If it had not been for the triumph of Senator Walsh over Mr. Weeks in Massachusetts, the distinguished Secretary of War would now be a member of this low-ebb

"In 1918, a Republican year, he was about tbe only Republican Senator who was defeated," Representative Tincher added.
