By the AuocUtcd I'ms. Washington, Feb. 18. Reiterating the recommendation recently submit ted to President Harding that Amer ican relief work in Russia be con trolled entirely by Americans, Sec retary Hoover, in a' formal state ment tonight, assured "friends of so viet Russia in the united Mates that they: ntvl not be worried 'over the "possible political consequences of the expenditure by the American people cf $50,000,000, for Russian relief." The report to President Harding last Friday, in which oiore than 200 Russian relief organizations were de scribed as "frankly communistic." seems to have started something, the secretary said, naming Walter L. Liggett of Chicago as having tele graphed a demand that President Harding or congress "do things to me for mentioning nis acuvurcs among the soviet group of commit tees. Hr. Hoover added that Mr. Lieeett had made certain threats several weeks ago of dire happenings in case the secretary tailed to en dorse those activities. Repeats Recommendations. "I then honestly recommended to him." Mr. Hoover said, "that he either send to all his committee mem bers copies of his- financial under takings with Dr. Dtibrowsky, tne soviet agent in New York, as I had the feeling that most of, them had not seen it, or that he cancel it and arrange lor . tne menus service committee to absorb ins tunas, nis publicity and his committee. I re peat these recommendations. They are sound." ' ' " , ' Dr. Jacob IJartman. Dr. David Dubrowsky, "Mr. Loeb" and others cf "the friends, of soviet Russia," Mr. Hoover asserted,, appeared greatly worried over "the possible political consequences" of the Amer ican people spending $50,000,000 on Russian relief. ' "Let rac take this opportunity," he s.aid. "to assure them that the 100 unarmed Americans on the Ameri can relief administration staff are too busy trying to save those dying countrymen , to undertake to upset the soviet army of 1,600,000.- I again earnestly advise them that they may dismiss their fears; these Americans will nefer attempt it. , Efforts Waste of Time. "Moreover, I can assure the gen tlemen of all these radical commit tees that their earnest efforts to re duce this country to the highly un comfortable standards of living and conditions of labor now so success fully established in Russia, is a waste of time. The $50,000,000 they have-raised, for Russia probably does not compensate the losses of other committees through disgust at their constant maligning of Ameri can efforts. - ' "In what these gentlemen .call our 'capitalistic, imperialistic country people are free to give their money into charge of anybody they please; but I have for many years clung to the old-fashioned notion that the crystal springs of American charity would be less likely to be muddied if they were organized bv Americans and distributed by them only."

'Relurn of Intelligent Con ventions in Republic." Washington, Feb. 12. President Harding in a Lincoln day address be fore the League of Republican State Clubs of the District, of Co lumbia last night said he craved "the return of intelligent conven tions in the republic." "I had rather have men appeal for Dooular support on the pro nouncements of party conventions, uttering" their convictions," the pres ident said, "than to nave tne appeal of the individual for his particular locality. "I believe in political parties. Uurs is the representative popular gov ernment, through political parties, and if I could express one outstand ing wish tonight, I would rather have a little more of the party spir it of Lincoln's time than some I know of nowadays. 1 ' "Lincoln was the great partisan. No greater or better republican ever lived. And he believed, as I know you believe, that the greatest pos sibilities of service are in the party." Women Add Tributes. Senator Shortridge of California, Representative Beedy of Maine. Col. Edward James Lattell ot Fhiladel phia, Mrs. Harriett Taylor Upton, vice chairman of the executive com mittee of the republican national committe and Mrs. Virginia White Speel of this city also spoke. All eulog ized Abraham Lincoln and appealed for a continuance of his spirit, with in the party 'while the women added to their tributes to the great presi dent an appeal for the women of the nation to take a greater part m the public life of the country. The president was accompanied by Mrs. Harding, who he said, was attending her first republican ban quet. Discussing the importance- of "party interest and party spirit and party activitv, Mr. Harding said: "I do not forget that I first required an expression of the trust of the re publican party before I could have a position of trust in the nation." (. I never forget, - he added, that it was not I, the individual, Who won the election of 1920, but the United States of Amtrica gave its expression of confidence and hope m the party of Lincoln, McKinley and Roosevelt." ' i - Policy for Public ' Good. In speaking of the importance of political parties in the American sys tem of government, the president said: ' . "When you serve the nation, you honor the party that trusted you. If I did not believe 'Wtih all my heart that a party policy was for the pub lic good; then 1 would, seek to have my party alter the policy. . It has been repeatedly said, the president .declared, "that men ' in congress represent the nation rather than their districts. .That ought to be. true," he added, "but there is no party service worth while that is not in the end of highest service to the nation. I believe in the collective judgmenf. I believe in tht collective vision of the convention, - I believe in the dicium oi party. ' 'Referring to Lincoln and the dif ficulties and criticism which he faced. Mr. Harding said:- Do not torget how they came tothe master martyr who was lashed by angry tongues as no public servant was ever lashed. He drank from as bitter a cup as ever touched human Irps, but his faith was unaffected. his courage undaunted and he wrote the' supreme chapter in the life of the republic, because in the commit ment of his party he was devoted to union and nationality and martyrdom revealed him as the most colossal statesman of all times."

There is a lot of, discontent among the tanners in this great agricultural commonwealth, but not enough to Kive the democratic party here abouts, any perceptible encourage ment. Iowa, according to present indica tions, will continue to be represent ed at Washington by two republican senators and probably by a solid re publican delegation in the hoiifrc. Such political scrapping as one per ceives is confined to the ranks of the republican party, little if anything oeing heard from the democrats, who appear to have gone down for the third time in this state. Right now, interest centers on the rivalry for successor to Senator Ken yon, who has accented appointment as judge of the United States circuit court of appeals and whose resigna tion from the senate Governor Ken dall is awaiting. There is a contest for the appointment by the gover nor to fill the vacancy and there will Le even a livelier contest for the re publican nomination in the primary, June 6, of a candidate for senator to serve out the unexpired Kenyon term who will be elected in November. Three in Contest. Governor Kendall has stated that ne will appoint a man from northern Iowa and that has narrowed the con- icsi ciown to three candidates: Charles, E. Pickett of Waterloo, who bcivcu wiui uisiinnion in the na tional house of representatives a' few years ago and who has become one of tht most widely known and in fluential political leaders in the state; U Cunningham, secretary of the Iowa Farm Bureau fedrratinn anrt Congressman L. T. Dickinson, who is strong with the farmers and is the brother-in-law of Gardner Cowles, publisher of the Des Moines Register. The governor has asserted that the appointee must be favorable to the program of agricultural legislation endorsed bv the farm bloc in con gress, and favorable to soldier bonus legislation and a sincere supporter of the prohibition amendment." Pickett has the support of the re publican organization throughout the state to a conspicuous extent and of a dozen or more of the largest and most influential newspapers. He stands for legislation favorable to agriculture as the basic industry of Iowa, but he has asserted that if sent to Washington he will go as a repre sentative of the whole, and not of a particular class of citizens.
