DAUCHERTY REFUSES
CALL OF COMMUTE
WithdraWS Counsel and Accuses
Investigators of Trying to
BIaCken His Character.

Washington.-Th investigation OF
ex-Attorney General Harry M. Daugh-
ertys administration of the Depart
ment Of Justice is practically ended,
at least so far as this session of Con-
gress is concerned The climax came
suddenly and Unexpectedly when couns
sci for Mr.. Daugherty informed the
committee that their client would not
submit to examination and from now
On would not be represented by coun-
sci before the committee.
In a letter to Senator Brookhart,
chairman of the committee, Mr..
Daugherty declared that not single
witness he had suggested had been
called before the committee. He
charged that certain members of the
committee have sought to blacken
his reputation and that. except oy
way of the grave" not one witness
had appeared whose testimony had
indicated any improper act or motive
on his part during the three years
he was at the head of the Department
OF Justice.
Mr.. Daugherty contended that the
Federal courts finding that actions Of
the committee were absolutely void"
and without constitutional authority
rendered it unnecessary for him to ap-
pear before the committee either in
person OF by counsel.
When the reading of the letter by
Paul Rowland of counsel for Mr..
Daugherty was concluded Senator
Brookhart expressed his conviction
that the committee had proved that a
criminal organization, of which Jess
Smith was the head, existed in the
household of the former Attorney GEN
eral, while Mr.. Daugherty's own tax
returns, he asserted, showed that his
debts were in excess Of his assets
when he became Attorney General.
Mr.. Brookhart added that "the evil
dence again shows that we found in
his brothers bank live certificates of
deposit to him Of nearly $4,000"

LINES UP
WITH COOLIDGE

1t is evident that a campaign is
about to be launched by the big
dailies of the country to convince the
mass of people that everybody is for
Coolidge. Already there are rumors
being circulated to the effect that
COOlidge's popularity is growing es-
pecially in the western states. This
wave of popularity that is threaten
ing to overwhelm the President is at
tributed to the great impression that
the Presidents message has made on
the farmers.
The dullest fifth grade school ex-
pert can refute this ridiculous con-
tention with very little effort. The
fact eff the matter is that certain gen
tlemen of the Senate and House who
have arorgated to themselves the I'M
warranted and unwarrantable right to
speak for the farming masses are lin
ing up with Coolidge as was to be ex-
pected. Gentlemen of the type of
Senator Capper the millionaire news
paper farmer from Kansas and few
weakened mid-western Senators are
the only farming mass rallying to
CoOlidge's support.
1t is an open secret in Washington
that Senator Capper is very likely
going to be the reactionaries' choice
as COolidge's running mate in No
vember. Appropros of this, the fol-
lowing report of the leading New
York papers is very instructive. The
facts as cited show precisely where
Capper stands and who he is. Sena-
tor Capper has abandoned support of
bill which was advocated by grow
ers of wool, farmers and agricultural
organizations and opposed by wool
en- manufacturers. Instead he es-
poused one introduced by Senator
Lodge. The latter bill was less dras-
tic than Senator Capper's proposed
measure and less Objectionable to the
wooden interests.
After having introduced his own
bill, Senator Lodge then went ahead
to substitute one including some pro-
visions Of the Capper bill, it is al
/ legged. Now the wollen manufacture
ers are opposing it. They are limiting
/ bad faith on the part Of Lodge. But
the men on the inside of Washington s
great game of politics look upon the
alleged understanding between Sena-
tor Lodge and Senator Capper as only
ar ordinary episode in the scheme to
make use of the latter's so-called pro
gressive label in the interests of the
reactiOnary Coolidge.
Whatever doubts one might have
had as to where Capper really stands
are dismissed in the following IRON
an editorial in the Senator's paper
"The Topeka Capital" "There is
nothing in sight now to prevent the
nomination of Coolidge. He is strong
and growing stronger, and his support
! is peculiar in not being factional OF
section. 1t is general among all ele.
ments Of the party and all sections Of
the country. 1t is no stronger any
where than it is today in Kansas"
Needless to say the big mass Of
/ farmers who are having the devil;
own time making their most limited
ends meet will not take Capper seri
\ ously again. Capper and his trib'
have betrayed the farmers too often
There comes a time when even a Sena
tor is known by his deeds as we'll a!
his words. That time has alread!
come for Capper in the eyes of tn,
overwhelming majority of the work
ing farmers.
