our children had very bad coughs

whooping cough. In a few weeks
there was a great deal of whooping
cough in our neighborhood and we
tried our best to keep our children
away from it, but could not. They
were both exposed number of times
and did not take it. After that they
were with children for whole day
who had whooping cough. This was
positive proof to me that my children

that Cheney's Expectorant had so

COP CHAIRMAN
AND GLASS CLASH
Secretary Defends Treas
ury Department From
Party Slander

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Tele-
graphic correspondence between Sec
rotary Glass and Chairman Hays. of
the republican national committee,
centering about the assertion of Mr.
Hays in his Denver speech last week
that the democratic administration
had sent out thousands of tons of
propaganda to Liberty bond buyers,
food card signers, war workers, etc, !"
was mace public tonight as an .en-
tirely reprenensible .peues of defa-
nation"
Secretary Glass, in telegram to
Mr.. Hays last Friday, the day follow
ing the republican chairman's address
in Denver, called attention. to a dis
patch quoting Mr.. Hays as saying
that the name of every buyer of
Liberty Bonds Of the United States
was put on the democratic mailing
list for the forthcoming campaign"
and asked that Mr.. Hays "either pro-
duce proof or publicly retract this
SANDER upon the treasury of the
United States"
Replying the following day in a
telegram from Salt Lake City, Chair
man Hays denied that he had said
that the treasury secretary "had fur
nished the names of all buyers of
Liberty bonds for the use of the dem
ocratlc committee as mailing list"
but that he did say ''thlt the demo-
cratic administration sent thousands
of tons of propaganda to Liberty bond
buyers, food card signers, war work
ers, ETC., during the paper shortage,
and while limiting the use of paper
by the press land that large part
of it was democratic political prop
uganda, and that all of it was paid for
by the taxpayers money"
The republican, chairman in his
telegram said he desired to call the
attention of Secretary Glass to what
he described as reliable information
that "the demo cratic committee has
even resorted to drawing drafts on
bankers in whose banks govern
ment funds are deposited, wiring
such bankers that they had already
drawn such drafts" and in conclus-
ion said he hoped the treasury Sec
rotary would 'join with US in an eff
fort to make the coming campaign
contest between two great politi-
cal parties"
Replying to Chairman Hays today,
Secretary Glass said the only part of
the chairman's reply which was
pertinent" to his previous telegram
was ''the apparent denial Of the
press dispatch ascribing to the chair
man the statement as to the use of
list of Liberty bond buyers.
The chairman's charge as to the
sending out of tons of partisan polit-
zeal literature, Secretary Glass tele-
graphed, conveyed IAN implication of
gross stupidity, as well as down
right dishonesty" which Mr.. Glass
said he resented Gas both false and
silly"
Denying that he had any know
ledge of the financial activities of
either the democratic or republican
national committees, or the chair
men as regards drawing of drafts
on banks having government depos-
its without previous consent, Score
tary Glass said: "It would not be as
tonishing to find that both Of you
have repeatedly done this" Agree
ment with Mrs. Hays that "this is no
time for little things" is expressed
by the treasury secretary.
