IN Reputation, in contiscation, in
Wholesale murder, by Trotzky and his
associates. Besides Trotzky and Lenine
the President has unfortunately asso-
ciated himself with some other COM
pany, to describe which is a disaeree-
able task to me, but shall do it, and
l might as we'll mention names.
Surrounded by Economic Fakers

bowling dervishes, fifebrands and
pestllent fiends of sedition that he has
around him.
"Another member of the Administra-
ton circle active in his sympathy with
the war on the bourgeoisie is Louis'F.
Post, Assistant Secretary of Labor. He
is a Socialist He boasts of it in pri-
vate conversation, and even in public
address, and,he believes in the assump-
ton by the government or the state Of
all the essentially private enterprises
of the country.
Attacks War Partisan League
Senator Sherman, responding to ques
tlons by Senator Watson, of Indiana,
sald that A. q. Townley, president of
!ne !e Non PARTISAN League, and under
indictment on the charge of opposing
the draft operations, also was taken
up by the Administration, and that
ne was even received at the White
House after George Creel, chairman
Of the. Committee on Public Informa-
ton had arranged speaking tour for
! him.
"Mr. Townley informed the authori
ties he was strictly loyal. lie was
trying to rescue the people from the
monopolies of the Northwest He mas
querades as the representative of the
farmers, but in reality Mr. Townley
represents proGerman influence"
Led into a further discussion of Mn.
Creel,. Senator Sherman said that
"Creel reminds me of letter Lin
coin once wrote about horse prior
as being warranted sound in skin and
skeleton and free from faults and
faculties.' He is Socialist of the
most pronounced type and has abused
the government, he has abused the
Constitution and the fathers who wrote
1t, and the courts which expounded
1T and the high tribunal of this coun-
try, the Supreme Court. He has de-
nounced as conspirators aiming to
write constitution for the rich.
Will Clear Country of Bolsheviki
II don't want to say anything about
Frank P. Walsh. He has said enough
about himself, as chairman of the IN
dustrial Relations Commission and in
other positions to which he has been
elevated by this Administration. But
the time will come when the good elc-
ment of the Democratic party and nv
own colleagues and myself will unite
to clear this country of the Bolshe

Carl Vrooman, Assistant Secretary
OF Agriculture" said Senator Sherman.
"is parlor socialist"
Senator Sherman referred sarcasti-
cally to the Presidents use of the term
economic serfdom" as applied to re-
turning soldiers after the war. He
SAID there was no oppression in this
trouble is that the President "has sur
rounded himself with economic freaks
of all kinds"
This use of the term economic serf-
dom sounds exactly like Trotzky,' he
continued. '"After while, expect,
also like Trotzky, this coterie will be
talking about our revolution"
He thinks just as Mr.. Trotzky
thinks about the bourgeoisic of the
country. He wishes the middle class
cxterminated. 1t would serve his pur-
pose if all the millionaires are de-
stroyed and nothing but the vagrant
