During the recent legislature a spe-

Senator Dunn of Crook county, Repre-
sentative Aber of Sheridan county and
Representative Free of Natrona coun-
ty. The committees report concluded
with "A word concerning the warden,
Frank A. Hadsell, which reads:
I'VE commend the wise and careful
administration of Warden Frank A.
Hadsell, whose years of experience as
a peace officer, and consequent knowl-
edge of the handling of criminals, rem

Hadsell. He is one of the historic

He reiterated an earlier on-hand
statement as to his W part in poll

he would not becom a member OF Mr..

former head OF the army procurement
service in France. while testifying be-
fore one of the committees recently,
told one of them that the value OF their
work had been rendered useless
through the injection of partisan pol.
itics. General Dawes is a republican,
and up until the time that he appeared
before the committee and stated that
he was not in politics he had been con-
sidered as the man most likely TO be
selected for the position of Secretary
of the Treasury in the Harding cab
met. In his testimony before the COM
mittee the general took the position
that plans for making war cannot be
carefully considered with the view of
limiting waste in expenditures. He
commended that thousands OF human
lives were at stake and il was there
fore not he time 10 haggle for the
cost in dollars.
Il bitterly resent this effort to re-
fleet upon the entire Army because

did we go in for-to steal money? 1t
was not a republican or a democratic
war. 1t was an American war. And
yet as a rule these committees try TO
bring in partisan politics.
