If IT am going to serve you, I want the Government to have the ma- ciinery with which to serve, and I promise you that under Republican Administration the Con- gress is guing to resume its constitutional func- tions. “It is very important to have a majority in the United States Senate, and you ought always to think of the Senate as saving to you your American liberties. * * * “IT Uhink we should have succeeded this yoar In harmonizing the Senate into ‘a completely useful agent If it had not been for the inter- Does President Harding see his Republican ma- jority in the Senate “harmonized into a completely useful agent” for carrying out his wishes?
