DAUCHERTY FLAYED
BY MERCHANT FOR
PROBE OF PRICES
(Rv Associated Pressl

CHICAGO, Feb. 16-H E. Hart, of
Long Prairie, Mimi. speaking before
the Interstate Merchants council here
today, said that there seemed to be
only one class of merchandise dis
tributors that have "a good standing
with either the Democratic or Repub-
lican administration and those are the
mail order houses" He charged that
Attorney General Daugherty is ignor-
ant of true conditions and is inspired
by mail order houses.
What would it be worth to the mail
order interests to have the public edu-
Gated by the attorney generals and the
radical newspapers to believe that
every time they made a purchase at
retail store they were being held up
and robbed? 1t would mean millions
of extra trade for the mail order con.
Germs" Mr.. Hart said.
''If you are going to be successful
in 1922 you must meet this vicious
propaganda: you must answer the
