WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 90
stories and stories have been writ
Ten about how both sides of con-
gress play politics, especially at this
lime of the year just preceding a po-
litical campaign. Today was no ex-
option to the rule. And there was a
one of bitterness displayed today
hat is not often seen.
Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Mon
I ana, opened the fireworks today by
laying the press bureau of the Re-
publican national committee for ar
ticles sent out broadcast accusing
him of being the father of the oil
easing bill. He made a speech on
The subject and then called on Sen
ators Smoot and Lenroot, Republi-
cans, to verify the truthfulness and
accuracy of what he said.

And Washington hears from all
parts of the country constantly. Pub
lie men keep in touch frequently
with their constituents, the people
back home, and thus the sentiment
throughout the country is manifest
ed in Washington through our pub
lie men. 1t is a direct reflection of
what the people of the country are
thinking and saying. Furthermore,
Washington is getting to be a great
mecca for political visitors as we'll
rs sight seers; they come here from
every nook and corner to confer
with their public men, their repre-
sentatives in congress here.
Oil Leaves a Smell
The oil sensations and disclosures
are still with us and oil, as most peo-
pie know, is sticky and slippery as
well as smelling badly. However, the
ship of state seems to be going along
and the sailing is made a little cas-
Ter as the political housekeeping
takes place from time to time. The
public can cheer up somewhat in
knowing that Fall fell not in vain"
If it is the means of cleaning things,
purifying our public life, for no one,
not even Republicans are attempt
ing to make much of defense for
his acts. Americans do not like what
he did and there are not many who
are going to defend him.. Of course,
both parties are playing the politi-
cal game for all it is worth nova
days preceding the approaching ma
tional campaign
Talked Prohibition
The nearest this oil trouble came
90 touching the White House was in
the calling of c. Bascom Slemp, the
presidents private secretary, as a
witness before the Public Lands COM
mittee for interrogation as to what
took him to Palm Beach, Florida, at
the time Messrs Fall and Mclean
were sojourning there. 1t was as
eertained that the three men were
together considerable, but Slemp
told the committee that most of the
conversation between the three was
of prohibition and not oil.
The committee, however, did not
get anything that in the least af-
fected the standing of the president,
10 every one agreed. 1t seems that
so far President Coolidge is still un-
contaminated by the oil deals.
Lawyers Are Busy
The two attorneys for the govern
nent in the prosecution of those who
are guilty in the oil scandals are
mighty busy. Former Senator Pom
creme, of Ohio, and Mr.. Roberts, of
Philadelphia, are said to be hard
headed idealists and they are going
to do their talking later. They have
rented suit of offices, moved in,
and are surrounded with their law
libraries and are nowadays pouring
over the evidence adduced at the
hearings of the Public Lands COM
The Minnesota fiery cross. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1924-19??, 1924-03-07

mittee and running down the evil
dence. They are concerned with facts
and not fiction. They are getting
right down to brass tacks, realizing
that it is far easier to indict than it
is to convict. They are not taking
anything for granted but are digging
away at facts and getting what is
nee essary to make their big case for
Uncle Sam stick good and hard.
Their first attempts will be to re-
cover for the government the naval
oil reserves that were leased by for
mer Secretary Fall to Doheny and
Sinclair interests. Their next step
will be to prosecute those who are
guilty after they have won their
first important step in the case.
Daugherty's Case
AS has been indicated before by
the writer Attorney General Daugh-
erty is fighter himself, and he does
not want to retire under fire. Up to
the minute this story was written.
he has given no intimation of what
he intends to do or not do, about re-
signing his job He says he is not
going to be hanged without trial,
and he is standing on his censtitu-
tional rights. He learned his poll
teal wisdom from Mark Hanna many
years ago in Ohio and it will be re-
called that Hanna is the fellow who
originated the STAND Pat" attitude
in Republican politics.
Coolidge Sure Bet
When it comes to candidates, ev-
cry one in Washington is agreed
right now that on the Republic an
side that President Coolidge is al
most certain of the nomination. 1t
looks now as though the Cleveland
convention will be a tame affair and
not much of fight, unless something
turns up in the meantime to change
the situation.
Hiram Johnson, who is out over
the country beating the bushes, as it
were, does not seem to be getting
anywhere. At least that is what
nearly every one says who talks
about it at all. No one thinks the
California senator is making much of
dent or impression, at least he is
not believed to be bagging many
delegates. Some politicians here GO
so far as to predict the nomination
Of the president on the first ballot
The scrap in the Republican conven-
ton will undoubtedly be for the Sec
ond place on the ticket and there are
likely to be a number of candidates
for the place.
Democrats Numerous
On the Democratic side of the
fence things are vastly different
Candidates are thicker than flies
around a molasses barrel, not an oil
barrel. There isn't any question but
that the candidacy of Mr.. McAdoc
has been greatly injured by the oil
investigations and the disclosure OF
his connection as an attorney for
Doheny. Whether right or wrong
whether he had a right to make such
connections or not, he did make
them and with many people this
thing is going to go hard with him
in the coming campaign. II his
name had not been hooked up in this
thing, it did look for long time as
though the Georgia-New-Yor k-Cali-
fornia man had the inside track fol-
the Democratic nomination and there
are people who today think he will
yet land the plum. But MrAdoo has
received an awful hard jolt on the
jaw that may force him to take the
count.
Several new names are coming tc
the front for the Democratic nomi-
nation nowadays. There is Houston
Thompson, of the federal trade com.

KlanSmen CuSSed by
Capitol Cop
Bureau of Publication and
EducatiOm

WASHINGTON, D. c., March l.
A member of the capitol police to-
day pointed out to the writer two
policemen in the United States
capitol building and with an oath
about a yard long declared the
two officers were members of the
Klan.
He denounced them with all the
vile language he could muster and
then told how the Khan had held
a secret initiation meeting one
night in the capitol building it
self right under the big dome.
1t doesn't take much nowadays
to start some fellows talking, es-
pecially if they don't know the
party very we'll with whom they
are talking. And that's one way
some writers have of getting news.

The policies Of the Grand Dragon
and his staff were discussed at some
length, and huge membership drive
was announced to begin in the near
future: All Klans represented ex-
pressed their hearty approval Of the
work being done in this Realm and
throughout the nation, and reported
that each individual Khan was in
splendid condition for entering the
