TILL ELECTION:
HARDING HAPPY
President Wants Lawmakers
to LAY Off" All Next
Summer.
By GEORGE r. HOLMES.
international News Service.

For the first time since he en-
tered the White House eighteen
months ago, President Harding
looked forward today to long
period Of legislative quietude, with
no Congress on his hands to CTing
Its troubles and problems TO. the
Executive doorstep.
With the exception Of short re.
cess periods, Congress has heen al
most In continuous session since
the beginning Of the Republican
Administration. and the departure
Of members today to take part in
the campaign affords the President
the longest rest he has had from
legislative worries. Mr.. Harding is
understood to have told friends that
II is "a grand and glorious feel.
ing"
President Harding has informed
Congressional leaders, however, that
he wants Congress TO come back to
Washington Immediately after the
elections on November 7, in order
that all appropriation bills and nee
essary Legislative matters can be
cleaned up by March next.
The President is understood to
have informed Congressional leaders
that he does not want Congress in
session next summer. and that he
sees no reason why the Slxty-eighth
Congress, which takes office on
March 4, should be called 20 Wash
ington before the regular December
session of 1923.
President Harding has expressed
the belief to his friends that the
country generally wants rest from
Congress" and the disturbing effects
of new laws and agitation for legis.
lation OF every conceivable kind. He
believes the return to normalcy"
embraces a return to the old system
Of having Congress in Washington
In the winter for the transaction of
necessary business and at home In
the summer system that pre-.
vailed generally prior TO the war.
In the light OF this policy on the
part Of the Executive, House lead.
ers are laying plans TO make the ses.
sion which will begin In November

DENOUNCEDbY
LAFOLLETTE
Wisconsin Senator Declares
Injunction Clever Ruse to
Evade Law.
BY j. BART CAMPBELL,
International News Service.

While the country awaited the
final decision today of Federal
Judge James II. wilkerson at Chi
cago regarding the Daugherty in.
junction, Senator Robert M. La
Toilette OF Wisconsin, delivered a
scathing attack upon the Attorney
General for bringing the action
against the railroad shopmen.
when Attorney General Daugh-
erty secured an injunction from
Judge Wilkerson to prevent work
ing men from exercising their Con-
stitutional rights of peaceful as
Semblage. freedom of speech and
lawful use of their property, he
used his high position and the great
power of a free government to
illegally oppress American citi.
zens," said Senator LaFollete.
I'VE are not through with Mr..
Daugherty," the fiery Wisconsin
Senator added, as he paused mo.
mentarily in his preparations to
catch the next train back home"
where he is to renew his fight for
the election in November of the
entire La Toilette ticket.
Must Answer Later.
When Congress reconvenes Mr..
Daugherty will have q whole lot
to answer for. His failure to pros
ecute the war graft cases IL but
one of the many things he win be
called upon to explain. I do not
care to discuss the impeachment
proceedings.
There can be little respect for
the Department OF Justice until II
shall respect the Constitution and
the laws of the land. Within the
memory Of this generation there
has been a degeneration OF the
department. Federal courts and
district attorneys have become in
many instances engines of oppres
sion for the poor, denying them
their Constitutional rights while at
the same time they have aided and
abetted criminal conspiracies in
robbing the people Of their natural
wealth and privileges.
"The Sherman act, perfectly de
signed to prevent conspiracies On re-
straint Of trade, has been flouted by
the department until II is a dead
letter. The bill Of rights OF our Con
stitution II wilfully violated by dis.
trict attorneys and judges sworn by
solemn oath to uphold II.
What has become Of the lawyers
Of the old days who would boldly
krapple with criminal wealth and
denounce It? The department needs
men Of this type.
Calls It Ruse.
THE last disgrace Of this once
great department came only recently
when Attorney General Daugherty
secured from a plant Federal Judge
q writ Of Injunction in open violation
OF the Federal Constitution and acts
Of Congress.
Besides being q violation OF the
Federal Constitution, the Injunction
granted at Chicago is clearly a vio.
lation OF the Clayton act, which
Mr.. Daugherty, sought to evade BY
bringing hiss action in the nafne OF
the United States.
This was q clever ruse, dernean.
Ing to his great office and the hon
orable profession to which he be.
longs. He is sworn to uphold TIE
Federal law, and the spirit cf the
law Is its life. AS the Scripture,
say, The spirit giveth the life. hut
the letter killeth.' Observing the
letter Of the law, he evades its
spirit, and offends against justice"

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. Ex-Governor
| Hardwick today took under advise
| ment an appeal for communication of
the death sentence Of Frank DuPre,
convicted Of the murder on December
IA, last, Of Irby C. Walker, private
detective. The governor announced
that he desired to go over the entire
court records Of the case and that
probably two or three days would be
required before he could make a de-
cision.
The plea for clemency was signed
by 100000 persons, it was stated, and
was presented to the governor at q
public hearing today in the senate
chamber at the state capitol For
two hours Mr.. Hardwick listened to
the arguments for and against COM
mutation Of sentence, opponents or
executive clemency stating that such
action would do more to destroy law
culoICelilelI III georgia tnan any
thing else Persons seeking commuta-
ton contended that the youth was
mentally deficient" and that he would
not go "unwhipped of justice" as
stated by Solicitor Geo. j. Boykin for
the state, were he sentenced to life
imprisonment. yf
DuPrfe is under sentence to be
hanged on September /. Appeals. to
the state supreme court for new
trial have been refused and the state
prison commission refused last week
to recommend executive clemency.
His attorneys announced that should
the governor refuse to intervene they
will appeal to3the federa1 court un-
der habeas corpus proceedings.
Detective Walker was killed when
he attempted to stop Dupre in his
flight from jewelry store after
snatching "a diamond ffbm a tray. Gra-
ham West, city comptroller, wJIo also
was shot and seriously wounded by
the youth, was among those opposing

| Washington, Aug. 2S.-Senate debate

[tered largely on the land reclamation
amendment offered by Senator Nc
Nary, republican, Oregon, but neither
that nor any of the other amendments
offered came to vote. The unanimous
consent agreement limited discussion
senator will become operative tomor-
row and leaders were hopeful that a
| final vote on the bill itself could be
had before adjournment
In the discussion today Senators
lWadsworth, of New York and Sterl-
ing, of South Dakota, republicans,
voiced their opposition to the bonus,
although Senator Sterling supported
the reclamation project. Senators
Nicholson, republican, Colorado and
d1eflin, democrat, Alabama, supported
the bill, the former also urging in
favor of the McNary amendment.
| Senator Nicholson attacked big bus
mess men opposing the bonus, men
tioning particularly the United States
Steel corporation and the Standard Oil
| company. He charged that the latter
company proflted through "uncon-
scionable" prices charged during the
war and declared that it i'll became
Judge E. II. Gary, chairman of the
board of the steel corporation, to op-
pose adjusted compensation for the
veterans when his company had made
great rrots" during the war.
Senator Wadsworth was particu-
larly vigorous in his attack on the
measure. He declared that the bonus
could be financed only through taxes
now or later and that the American
people had reached a limit in the bur
den they could bear. Also he argued
that the veterans themselves, their
wives and their children would have to
work but the harder in the years to-
come to pay back the money the form
er soldiers received which, he con-
tended would be insufficient to afford
any lasting benefits.
In presenting his reclamation
amendment, Senator McNary tod the
senate that it afforded an opportunity
for congress to do "a great thing
in empire building by reclaiming arid
lands in the west and swamp and cut
over lands in the south and east He
argued. also that it would give oppor-
tunity to veterans desiring to get back
to the land, to acquire homesteads
with government aid and operate to
maintain much needed balance be-
tween the rural and urban population.
The defamation plan received the
support also Of several senators from
the west and south and was unoppos-
! ed in the debate. Senator's Ransdell,
pGouisiana and Fletcher, Florida, demo-
| Gratis, pictured the benefits that would
accrue in their states.
