There are no halliday classes at

Long Walk Necessary
Should the children go to 62 they
would have to walk almost two miles,
or traverse Tenth St. which has no
sidewalks and is practically impass-

The school officials have sent a

EAIMETSBURG. Iowa. Oct. g.
Senator Smith W. Brookhart of
Iowa today delivered a scathing at
tack on President Coolidge and the
other leaders Of the Republican
party. charging they were dominat-
ed ''by the financial powers and the
nonpartisan league OF Wall Street. -
In a speech at a farmers festival
here, Brookhart made it very plain
he is diametrically opposed TO the
President and the regular Republic
an party leaders.
It was his second attack on the
Republican ticket within the week.
The first was when he demanded
withdrawal of the name Of Charles
G. Dawes. vice presidential candi-
date, from the ticket.
e To reports he would belt the Re
publican ticket and join the inde
Apendent ticket forces. Brockhart
2kaid:
4 'I have never had thought of
leaving the party.
Il belong to the farm bloc"
Brookhart said. "The President BE-
longs to the Wall Street bloc.
"I have never had a thought OF
leaving the party. My soul IS
wrapped up in the principles of
Lincoln. Roosevelt and Kenyon. on
the other hand. will fight with all
my strength that false and corrupt
conception that crept into the party
under the leadership of Hanna. Pen
rose and Newberry.
These ideas have brought me in
sharp disa greement with many eie-
ments who style themselves Repub-
leans and by their financial re-
sources control the Administration" 3"
Voters rs. DictatOrs"
Brookhart said the issue now Is to
whether the principles of the Re
publican party shall be determined
by the voters themselves or by a
small group Of crooked and irrespon-
sible dictators set up by the Non
Partisan League of Wall Street"
Il have said that l would do as
much for Coolidge as he would do
for me-" Brookhart continued. "and
the voters are entitled to know what
we have =ione for each other and
also to each other.
