Attorney General Daugherty
replied yesterday to the accusa-
tions made against him Saturday
night by Samuel Untermyer, of
New York, in an address read
to 800 persons attending Senator
La Follette's Progressive confer
ence.
Mr.. Daugherty defended his
recommendations for appoint
ment to the Federal courts and
expressed the opinion that the
charges against him close their
force when the motives and char
acters Of those who make them
are taken into account by fair
minded people"
HAS NO CONCERN.
The Attorney General yesterday
issued the following statement:
l have read the speech which
Mr.. Untermyer is reported to
have delivered last night.
Mr.. Untermyer's charges do not
give me concern. II 1 am to be
assailed ins the performance Of
public duty-and, in this clamor-
Gus age. such seems to be the lot
of most public men-then 1 am
fortunate in having the chief at
tack upon my record as Attorney
General made by one who. for
thirty years, has given the largest
part of his public activities to
abusing and attacking men in
high official place.
1t is not necessary for me to
say anything about the character
and reputation Of Mr.. Untermyer.
for these and his activities are
too well known to the public to
need comment on my part. His
professional efforts when he was
amassing his present fortune by
building up many Of the so-called
trusts" have not. escaped pub
lie comment.
MAKES NO APOLOGY.

been active in politics. There 10

ment. II will be q sad day for
the Republic when men with ex-
perience In the organization and
education Of the people to clearly
understand political issues are to

lie office.
am not Indifferent to the fact
that I, for the time being. am
the target for the assaults he
takes pride in making. However,
it il some solace to me to re-
call that, when in 1894, my
distinguished predecessor, Mr..
Richard Olney. met q great chal
lenge to law and order by insti-
tuting the injunction proceedings
In q railroad strike then on,
petition was presented to the
House of Representatives. asking
for his Impeachment upon sub
stantially the same grounds as
are now suggested against me
for rendering a like service to
the public security. 1t comforts
me to know that this threat of
impeachment, inspired by the
very forces that attempted to
overthrow the authority Of law
and to starve and freeze the ma
ton into submission to their un.
lawful demands. did no lasting
harm to the great reputation of
Richard Olney, who died honored
by men, of all classes and
parties.
WILL CONTINUE PATH.
Undeterred by the ATTACKS Of
Mr.. Untermyer, inspired by
motives I we'll understand, I shall
continue to conscientiously dis
charge the duties Of the office

mend to the President. The

The American people may, for

have a real instinct as to whether
q man is doing his duty under

tent to leave the verdict to them

the charges against me lose their

matter which inspired the attack
