Senator Norris asserted the opyosi- Challenges the Control of the Repub lican Party by Those Seek ing His Ouster. Washington, Dec. S3. In an as sault upon the republicanism of Pres- , ident Hoover. Senator Xorris (Neb.) today challenged the control of the national party by those who are de manding his own ouster. Norris spoke out in blunt terms after Representative Wood (Ind.) left a conference with President Hoo ver to urge support for the "eradi cation" of Norris which was advo jcated by Robert H. Lucas, executive I director of the republican national j committee. Wood's denunciation of Norris j from the White house steps as a ; "t onsumare demagogue" stirred Nor ris to question ihe republicanism of Mr. Hoover and called into action ; genat r I pll,'iical1 Borah (Idaho), another re independent, who answer- led, "Let them get out those who have j disgraced the party." "The republican party belongs to the rank and file." said Norris in ! talking to newspaper men who gave ;him the news of Wood'-? attack. "Mr. ; Wood and Mr. Lucas, even though i backed up By Mr. Hoover, do not constitute the republican party. I was fighting for the republican party party when Mr. Hoover himself was a resident and voter of Great Britain. Wood Just as Severe. "Mr. Hoover is most liable to be a democrat any day. When he came to I this country from Great Britain he was a democrat, accepting office a? a democrat. He remained a democrat until the republicans came in power and when he accepted office under the republicans he automatically be- came a republican. I "I have uever found fault with that. I comede his right to change his political affiliation every time he changes office if he wants to, but I haven't found it necessary myself." Wood, the first of the republican regulars in congress to speak out in the party quarrel, was jusi as sev ere. "We have been palliating and pet ting these fellows like Norris entire lv too long." he told newspaper nu n. "and if there is to be a republican party we must have republicans in it. The senate is no longer republi can as people think. It litis reached 'the point where its political makeup ;is entirely non-descript. and Senator Norris. one of it3 members, is not a republican, he's not even a demo jcrat he is a c onsumate demagogue." Seen as Notice. Wood is chairman of the house appropriations committee and chair man of the republican congressional committee. His statement, after he had discussed the Norris row with the president, was regarded in some quarters as notice that the adminis tration dees not care for control of the next congress if it depends on ratmhlican Indenendent votes. Both Ha uiuta anri bouse ol the new con- gress are now republican by just one VOIP The senate republican leaders are i keepin -ilence. insisting that the 'issue is now before them ami is one between the national organization and Norris. I Norris asain denounced the cam paign made by Lucas against him in the recent Nebraska election which; Norris won as a republican. i Lucas issued another statement to night through the republican nation al comittee making clear that he: i spent $850 against Senator Norris and again insisting "'no one else has any responsibility in the matter whatsoever. "Senator Norris cannot why I could personally much money for the party." continued Lucas. Senator Norris would understand spend t hat republican "Of course, not under - stand why anbody would spend that much for the republican party.'' Refers to Raskob. "John J. Raskob and the Associa tion Against the Prohibition Amend ment were throwing thousands of dol lars into the campaign aeainst our republican ami congressional candi dates i'l a number of states. There wit.; no money being spent by any counter organization to combat it. "Prohibition was not an issue throughout the country but was con-j fined to certain states and districts, j and the republican national commit- i tee was not at liberty to take a hand ; in the wet and dry fight. I under- i took to make an effort to offset the; hurtful effect of the hundreds of thousand of dollars spent by Mr. , Raskob and the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment by using a cartoon which called attention to the evils of the barroom. "The cartoons were used in States where Mr. Raskob and the Associa tion Against the Prohibition Amend ment were spending thousands of dollars against our republican candi dates." Lucas formally offered the records of the republican national committee to the senate campaign funds com mittee for examination and also de manded that the committee Inspect the books of the democratic national committee, the democratic senatorial committee. Raskob and the ABSOCla- turn Against the I'roiuimion Amend ment. Henry H. Curtail, president of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, tonight issued a state ment asserting that his organization "did not spend a single dollar in the Nebraska senatorial campaign, either for or against Senator Norris or any body else." "I am beginning to wonder how much Lucas and Fess are helping the republican party." he said.

"His opposition is not when I because I am noi a. goou repuoucan, m mt a good republican, ' continued the Nebraska!!. "That is only a sub terfuge. Lis opposition is because on fundamental issues like farm relief and conservation of national re sources I have not agreed with him." Watson Discusses Case. Norris reiterated he had no com plaint against anyone who opposed him "but I do condemn the cowardly, underhanded, dishonest means they have descended to in fighting me." "The fact that Mr. Wood makes this outburst just after talking with the president," continued Norris. "is another indication that the president j himself is willing to lend his n:.me to assisting the conspirators In their I disreputable methods of coin oiling I the party." Senator Watson (Ind.), the repub lican leader, in his first discussion of the Lucas case asserted tonight that the question was one confxont iing the president and the national committee. "The issue of Senator Norris' regu larity is not before the senate," he said.
