of another storm of democratic pro
1 teat In congress Tuesday despite a
'. White Rouse explanation that the
president had not Intended by his ac-
' y Ilea to "reflect on the character" of
v any of the distinguished officials.
' In the senate a congressional In-
quiry was proposed formally in a reso-
lution by Senator Caraway democrat
' . Arkansas who declared the president's
. Unheralded dismissal order had been
. - v "inhuman and inexcusable.' Several
' other democratic senators joined In
the attack while In the house Repre-
sent tire Byrne democrat Tennessee
assailed the president's set as "noth
: ln short of an outrage."
- Taking the lead In defense of the ad
:. ministration. Senator New republican
i Indiana told the senate there were
ample reasons for the dismissal al
1 . though unfortunately there were times
when the president could not take the
n ' country Into his confidence. A general
debate Involving the whole patronage
fj policy of the administration developed
it went over without aotlon.
At the White House Secretary Chris

in a letter to one of the dismissed of
flelali that a full explanation- was not
yet opportune; although the chief ex
ecutlve regretted that "Insinuating
publicity" was being given the Incl
. dent. There had been no desire the
. secreUry wrote to reflect on the char
aoter or any government employe.
It was said by the White House of
i floiala that Mr. Harding felt he alone
was sponsible for the conduct of an
. efficient administration and he
proposed to exercise the presidential
- appointive power In a manner that ao
corded with his own Judgment There
- was no possibility. It was declared.
that any of the dismissed officials
i would be restored to office.
Senator Hltchook. democrat de
neunced what he described as "dellb
rate efforts to subvert and deetroy
ue civil service as applied to post of

' to observe the law on the part of the

the Congressional Record of early
Mir to snow Mr. Hitchcock that he
and his party had done "exactly the
same things with respect to getting

Nr. Norrls denied that republicans
had spread the doctrine of a return
to tne spoils system saying that he
believed most of them were in favor

declaration that he never had been
