fairly good hearing to gain the knowledge that a monstrous orgy of corruption was taking place.
 No Excuse at All
 "A man might have been blind, a man might have been dumb, but If he still retained his sense of hear ing, he would have learned from trustw orthy sources that the de- partment of justice was a nest of corruption. that the department of the interior under Secretary Fall was bartering away the nations re- sources and that almost every de- pertinent was honeycombed with corruption. It was heard in the corridors of the capitol. in commit tee rooms, in banks and in business houses. There was no escape. It was everywhere. - .. u.
 T had no private sources of in- formation, when I exposed the cor rupt leasing of Teapot Dome, and forced the senate by an, unanimous vote to order an investigation. s I merely dared to charge openly what every member of the senate knew. l was able in that speech to reveal substantially every important fact regarding the corrupt leasing of the oil reserves, except the corrupt con- sideration received by Fall from Doheny and Sinclair. I did not know that $1O0,o0O in cash had been brought from New York to Wash ington ,and delivered in a black bag to Albert B. Fall. But the other important facts including the great profits made by the insiders in the stock market, was laid be- fore the senate and the nation. There sat the vice-president within 50 feet of me as I spoke. hearing every word of an indictment that forced even the old guard of the senate to consent to an investiga- tion.
 Senator Wheeler had mo private sources of information when h made his charges against Daughert: and initiated the investigation tha drove him from office. He m4reI, dared tell the world the truths, the both republican and democrat, senators knew as well as he did.
 Knowing these facts there w only one way in which a membo of that administration elevated l. the presidency could relieve himsel from full responsibility for its ever. act. That was by cleaning hous as soon as the power came into his hands.
 Was that done? It was not. On the contrary every member of the cabinet was kept in office and

The Progressive Candidate Plays Both Coolidge and Davis as Representative of Their Parties-Says
 Gigantic Wave of Demo- cracy Is Sweeping World

New York, Sept 1s.--senator Robert M. La Toilette in Madison Square Garden last night, told the first audience he has addressed since announcing his candidacy for presi- dent that he did not intend "to be diverted from the discussion of the vital economic issues of the cam paign by the foolish and preposter- ouss assertions of our opponents that in some way we as progressives desire to weaken or impair the provisions of the constitution of the United States relating to the fed- eral courts"
 He made this declaration after as- sailing the policies and the candi- dates of the republican and demo- cratic parties, which he asserted are "as alike as two peas in a pod" and continued
 To Keep to Records j
 T propose to keep in the fore- ground of the discussion through out this campaign the record. of the old parties in recent years and the policies inaugurated by them under which the railways and other. cor porations have made larger profits than ever before in their peacetime history during the same length of time while labor and the small business men have eked out bare existence ana the farmers have been driven into bankruptcy by the hundreds of thousands and the loss in value of farm lands and farm products has exceeded forty bil- lions of dollars.
 "The leaders of both old par ties naturally desire to escape dis cussion of the shameful acts which have produced such results as these. l do not intend that they shall avoid these issues" r Coolidge and Davis
 Senator La Toilette discussed the

actions of that administration. dur ing its last year, as during its first three, were dictated not by the in- dividuals who happened to occupy the White House, but by the forces that control them and dominate the republican, as we'll as the demo- cratic party. The presidents were merely the servants of the system.
 Tn proof of this I cite the fact. that the fecord of the Taft ad- ministration and the record of the Harding Coolidge administration are exactly the same, except for the larger scale and more complete corruption that marked the last four years.
 Let me remind you briefly of the Payne -Aldrich tariff and its coun- terpart, the Fordney-McCumber tariff, of the corrupt elections of Lorimer and Newberry, and of the footing of the public domain under

ex-Secretary Fall, then known to be in the employ of Sinclair, was re- ceived at the White House by the present republican candidate, when he came to Washington to give his perjured testimony. Even after the evidence of fraud and corrup- ton became overwhelming, Denby was retained in the cabinet, Daugh- erty was retained in the cabinet, and they were allowed to resign, under pressure from the public and from more thin-skinned leaders of the party, with expressions from the White House of high esteem and confidence in their integrity.
 Another Big Reason
 But there is another reason, far more powerful, why the acts of the last administration must be regarded as 8 whole, free from all question of personality. That reason is that the policies, appointments and

record of the Harding Coolidge ad- ministration, the acts of which, he contended, must be judged as a whole" and declared that President Coolidge "knew every act and policy of the last administration because he was a participant in their for mutation" He referred to John w. Davis as certain distinguished lawyer now running for president and trying to get the people to for get his former clients, who 'blocked' efforts of the public to bring about reduction in tele- phone rates in New York.
 Declaring that parties and can didates should be judged on their records and not on prediction promises" the Wisconsin senator continued:
 Best c. o. P. Can Do
 The best that the republican party, for example, can offer with its present candidate. is four years more of misgovernment such as we have witnessed during the last four years,--the same control by power full private interests, the same cynical bestowal of special pripi- leges on the favored few, the same shamefup betrayal of the. public trust. G.a&} 8' #.G.
 ap,, on ovtraord;nory prooad,Ira adopted at the beginning of Presi- dent Harding's administration, the vice president was made & mem Der of the presidents cabinet, so that he might not only be fully in formed of every policy and action, but so that he might also give his counsel and advice. He sat with the cabinet while it discussed, ac- cording to the testimony of those who were present, the transfer of Teapot Dome and the other naval oil reserves from the navy depart ment to the interior department, so that the corrupt lease of those great properties might be made. He knew every act and every policy of the last administration because he was a participant in their for mutation.
 "But even If the then vice-presi- dent had not as a member of the cabinet participated in the making of policies, 1t would have made little difference. All that was neces- sary in, Washington during the last four years was the possession of

 These things occurred, not be- cause the presidents who occupied the White House were bad men. They were not, so far as personal honesty and domestic virtues are concerned. They happened be- cause they were weak men under the control of a soulless system that knows nothing of honesty, integrity, or civic righteousness where iss selfish interests are concerned.
 "The Taft administration had no Daugherty, no Forbes, and no such tariff record as this one will reveal when it's story is fully told, and yet Taft was so completely repudiated by the American people that he was able to carry only Vermont and Utah--two small rock-ribbed states.

Firearm Carelessly Left Loaded In Bedroom Closet By
 Father
Parents Were In Barn When Tragedy
 Occurred

Carelessness in leaving loaded fire arms where children can get them, claimed another victim Tuesday night when eight-year- Jan Belogh. IT,, of Ashford. accidentally shot and kill ed his little sister, Elizabeth. six years old.
 The father. Jan. Sr.. had cleaned and oiled his shot gun and placed if in a bedroom closet. Jan. Jr.. and his two younger brothers and sisters were left alone in the house while the fa- ther and mother went Co the barn. There was a lighted lamp in the bed room and the children went in there to play The oldest of the four. Jan, Jr., went to the closet. took out his fa- ther's gun, and was showing 1t to the three younger children when it went of. The little sister was instantly killed. and the concussion from the discharge of the gun put out the light.
 The parents heard the report from the discharge of the gun and hurried to the house. They were met by three crying children. Rushing into the bedroom the lantern they carried dis closed the lifeless body of the little girl. The children could give little in- formation as to what had happened. but the shot gun with smoke still com ing from the barrel. and the smell of burned powder told the story.
 Medical Examiner D. r. B. Con verse went to the farm. which is in q remote section of Ashford, and ren- dered finding that death was due to accidental discharge of firearms in the hands of the boy
 A similar accident happened in Un- ion not long ago, due to the father leaving a loaded gun in the kitchen.

TIME HAS EXPIRED
Thursday Last Day so File Claims
 Against Bank

Thrrsday was the last day to file laimse against the First National Bank. While a good many claimants waited until the last day. there was no great rush to get claims in. and II Is understood that there are n mum. Der of known claims that have mol been filed.
 As the receiver of the bank, George II. Coffin, Is out of the city, nothing could be learned regarding the status of those whose claims have not been filed nor regarding the prospect Of dividend being paid in the near fu' ture
 From all that has been learned trough Washington channels and other sources. 1t Is reasonable to as' sume that dividend of some amount will he forthcoming Ia the near futur' to those who have deposits.
 While the time is very short bcfor' Christmas, if a dividend should be re leased early next week 1t is believed that it would prove stimulus ts business and would be q boon to the merchants of Putnam.
