Now I would like to have the At
torney- General tell the Congress just
how much of the 100000 Congress gave
him to investigate war fraud cases is
being used to investigate members OF
| the two houses OF Congress. He ought
| not to object to doing that. IT Is a
trust fund given to him for a specific
| purpose. and think the Congress has
the right to know how much of it he Is
| using In trying to intimidate Represen-
| tatives and Senators ana not to protect
Daugherty himself That he is doing 1t
I do not think any living man who has
taken ten minutes to investigate the
facts will question.
For twenty-five days the charge,
| definite. certain and specific has re-
mained unanswered by the Attorney
General. / now have this telegram
showing that investigators representing
the Attorney-General are trailing me
with the expectation Of trying to silence
me by threatening to hurt me. I do not
care. The Attorney-General is welcome
to II.
Il do say. however. that the man who
instead Of defending himself Is cowardy
enough to sneak around and tries to In,
timidate other people from telling the
truth about him is a mighty poor repre-
| sentative of this Government No mar
who has true conception of what ar
American citizen is ever did It, and vel
the Attorney-General does that thing
Yesterday the Attorney General, In
order to shield himself tried to put the
| brand OF Ananias on the brow of Tho
Senator from Indiana, Mr.. Watson.
| have no doubt Senator Watson told the
Gods truth, and the Attorney Genera
knows that he did. In order to shield
himself from criticism the Attorney.
General may have induced the Senator
from Indiana to say You may make
whatever statement you please and
will remain silent
IT do not doubt that high office may
have great attraction for some people
but, so help me God. before would
submit to such infamy I would sur
render my commission and go out ant

Reviews Morse Case.
Senator Caraway reviewed the Mors,
case with all It's details. swinging
finally to q condemnation OF the Attor
ney-General because OF his ethics as {

General of the United States.
THE present Attorney-General. Harr.
NJ Daugherty has possessed the con
fidence OF two Executives of this Ma
ton. He possessed the confidence o
President Taft. The Fielder Iette
showed that he sold him out. He be
trayed him for s25 900 and engaged Il
conspiracy to make Mr.. Taft do
thing that Mr. Taft would not hav
done II he had known the facts.
Tho Attorney General possesses tn
confidence of one other President, tn
present President of the United States
and if the statements can be believe
that are made by members of Congress
of his own party ne has betrayed thi
Administration just as he betrayed tn
Administration Of President Taft.
II do not know what President Hard
ing will do. The conduct OF Attorney
General may meet his approval. I shai
be somewhat surprised II II does. A
least he might remember that Presiden
Taft, who followed Daugherty In TIL
subsequent election. received eight elec
toral votes.
