istration and Party.
Mr.. Hefiin bitterly denounced
Coolidge, Doheny, whom he branded
as the new leader Of the republican
party, Daugherty and the entire re-
publican national committee. The
Senator from Alabama was especial
ly sarcastic as he delivered his reg
ular spread-eagle speech against the
Administration. The Senator from
Alabama charged that Mr.. Doheny

The republican side was fairly

Lodge and Smoot, who were present
appeared to be very detected, tame,
and without any fight in them.
AS the democratic barrage was be-
ing fred, Senator Walsh Of Mas

he had just received q telegram
from Fall River to the effect that the
severe unemployment had brought
about a practically complete shutting
down of the textile mills Of the town.
The Senator pointed out that in all
this talk of prosperity today work

failures in the Northwest had been
so numerous that the Comptroller of

would destroy the confidence of the

Government Corrupt.
Hefiin continued to fay the Ad-
ministration. He said that the
country was in great distress. "The
people are in distress. When any
one makes up his mind to go crooked.
he goes plumb into the republican
party. We have reached the time in
this country when our government
rests upon money, booze, and cam
paign funds.
"Everytime we turn a table now
we find a republican official crooked.
l am in favor Of keeping on turning
the table,"
Hefiin charged Coolidge with being
responsible for Doheny's continuing
to pump daily 1000 barrels and Sim
clair 5000 barrels every day from
the stolen oil reserves. IF COM
man man would do anything like
that, a marshall would be sent right
after him." said the Alabama Sena-
tor.
The guilt of not instructing the oil
prosecutors Pomerene and Strawn to
order Doheny and Sinclair to dis
continue pumping this oil was fast
ened upon President Coolidge bv
Hefin.
