when the Senate oil investiga-

will decide that the Senate has en-

Caleb Powers of Kentucky declared
in an address before the Wapiya

President Coolidge was entirely
within his rights in declaring the

with the Senate resolution, he said
He added that in his opinion
Mr.. DENLY had not done anything
wrong. DENLY was very lndiscreet
in saying that he knew nothing about
the oil leases, when it was his bust
ness to know something about them"
Mr.. Powers continued.
Calls Inquiry Politics.
Whether Daugherty was right or
wrong. he should have resigned be-
cause he had lost the public conf

have a man at the head of the De-
Dartment of Justice in whom it has
the utmost confidence" Mr.. Powers
said.
THE whole investigation is Moth

added. The democratic party did
not have any great political issue, so
they started to looking around in an
endeavor to ind something wrong
