DAUGHERTY CHARGE
AS RAT SQUEAL'
Senator Declares Former At
torney. General Is More
Dangerous Than Red

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, April 24.-"such
unfaithful servants as Daugherty and
Fail have made more Bolsheviks in
America in a few weeks than a thou
sand soviet agents could make in de-
cade," Senator Wheeler. Montana, de
clared today. in replying to former
Attorney General Daughertys "de
Tense speech" in Columbus, Ohio, last
night.
Wheeler's statement to the United
Press was provoked by what he
termed "Daughertys cunning but
baseless insinuations" that he and
Senator Brookhart, Iowa, were 'in-
spired" by soviet officials to investi-
gate the Department of Justice.
Pitiful Smoke Screen
I'm his array OF distorted truths
said Wheeler, "Daugherty has taken
refuge behind the resort Of modern
knaves striving desperately to divert
the public mind from their own cor
ruption. When all else fails, they trot
out the red peril bugaboo. His pitt
fully absurd smoke screen will only
meet with ridicule.
But this discredited official does
not exaggerate the dangers that
threaten the public if the Daughertys
and the Falls are not driven from of
fee. That is the danger the Senate
committee, by barring the corruption
in the Department Of Justice, is seek
ing to avert.
There is a rising tide Of discon
tent in America. Government by
blackmail and the private sale Of the
public domain have brought it to
the danger point. Nothing can check
it if the Bolshevik makers are left in
office.
