Walsh Should
Be on the
Ticket

What is the matter with
Senator Thomas j. Walsh Of
Montana?
Why Is the boss contingent
NOT for him?
He is one of the ablest
men in the Senate.
He has 4 wonderful record
on an immediate issue.
He does not belong to the
souse brigade he is dry.
He has made an admirable
presiding officer Of the COM
ventiOn.
He has every claim to be
on the Democratic ticket, and
still the boss contingent is
not for him.
The Tammany crowd say
he Is too dry, and the bOoz-
ing, bOotlegging, ex-bartend-
ing faction Of Tammany Ii
opposed to him on that ac-
count.
They are willing 20 have .
man who votes dry and acts
wet. But that kind Of man
ID q fraud and is just as.
likely to deceive the vets %
the drys.
Such man would be with.
out character and without
honor, and the convention
might Just as well nominate
an out-and-out wet like Smith
wet in principle as well as
practice.
A consistent, conscientious
dry candidate is what the
country demands, and the
only kind of a candidate
which the country will vote
for.
Then again., senator
Walsh's wonderful service to
his country and to his party
in the oil investigating COM
mittee, which exposed the
corruption in the Harding Adj
ministratiOn, is urged by the
boss contingent as an argu-
ment against Senator Walsh.
These bosses say the big
financial interests are OPP
posed to exposures Of this
kind and against any man
who is responsible for such
exposures. The bosses think
they will get no contributions
to the Democratic campaign
fund from the big interests,
If man like Senator
Thomas J. Walsh, who has
exposed their corruption, Is
put on the Democratic ticket.
But are the Doheny CAM
paign fund and the cOntribu-
tions of other big interests
more important in the eyes
of Tammany Hall and the
other Democratic State ma
chimes than the votes of the
citizens and the commenda.
tion OF the public everywhere.
irrespective Of party, for
Senator Walsh's great sery-
ice?
The real question before
this convention is whether
the Democratic. party is to
be run by Tammany and the
other subsidized Democratic
machines in the interests Of
the vets and Of Wall Street,
or whether It is to be run by
uncontrolled delegates in the
interests Of the decent Demo.
cratic masses?
