DAWES UNDER FIRE
 IN L0R|MER DEAL
(continued from First Pase)


 mer needed $t,250,O0O to meet the requirements of the bank examiners and not having this amount available sought aid from Dawes. Lorimer asked Dawes to count out the neces- sary money and in the presence of an examiner declared Lorimer to De the owner of the sum. After the examiner had left, the money could be replaced in Dawes bank. The deal went through but later the LOT inner bank failed and Dawes became defendant in suits of creditors of the bank so that on the very day of his nomination, the supreme court of Illinois handed down the decision that he must pay s15o,00O. To prove his assertion, the speaker cited the case of Golden versus Servinsky, given in volume PTS of the Illinois reports at page 4s9.
 And this is the man (Dawes) who calls himself the minute man Of the Constitution" said the speaker. "Why, even Wall street wouldn't do anything like that. The Constitution will not be defended by men like that. or by hooded groups but by honest men"
 Boasts KIan.
 Declaring that the symbol of the campaign this year was the letter "k", Senator Ashurst flayed the Ku klux klan in a ruthless man. ner. He said that beginning with the time when the Little Green House on K street" in Washington became the rendezvous, where judgeships were passed out and all concessions and favors, were bar tered out, the. letter K began to have a national significance.

Before continuing on the attitude of the Democratic party toward the invisible empire, Senator Ashurst delighted his audience with the fol- lowing poem:
 There's queer bird called the
 kleagle,
 Which mothers all it can inveigle, But I wager my word
 It's not the bird
 That matched the American eagle.
 He declared that the party and the presidential nominee, John W. , Davis had denounced the klan with out reservation. 1 Forget the Record"
 "The democrats say read our record while the republicans say forget our record" continued Sen- ator Ashurst. The vetoing of the Civil war veterans pension increase. the post mems increase. the soldiers bonus and similar bills because of a wiping out of profit in various departments and the approval of the Mellon tax bill, which helped such rich men as Andrew Mellon, secretary of the treasury, and Henry Ford and benefited the poor man but a trife, was treated scornfully by the speaker.
 Tea Pot Dome.
 "The issue of the present cam paign is honesty" emphasized Sem ator Ashurst in entering upon a discussion of the Tea Pot Dome af- { fair, in which he played a promi- nent part, having been a member of the investigation committee. The reservation of oil territory through acts of Roosevelt. Taft and Wilson were rapidly sketched by the speak CT. who showed that all three men recognized the importance of the land being reserved for the navy use. After paying a splendid tribute 10 the late President Wilson for his strict adherence to the path of duty, unmindful of the Circean voice of popularity as he termed it, the speaker told of the transfer of the administration of the oil territory
