WASHINGTON LETTER


Discussing the question, win
LaFollette be a liability or an as
set? the former secretary of the
Republican National Committee
says: The effect of the LaFol-
lette candidacy. should it assume
formidable proportions and not
turn out to be a "dud'. might be
to keep the doubtful states of
Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Da-
kota. South Dakota and possibly
Nebraska out os the Republican
column. In such case it would
probably also carry Montana out
of the Democratic column. The
Democratic politicians who have
been thinking only of agrarian
discomfort in the Northwest have
overlooked the probable effect Of
the third party movement on the
industrial vote which the profess
sional labor politicians have
been delivering to the Demo-
cratic party for the past ten
years. Through this oversight
they have been led into the
folly of feeding a snake that may
fatally bite them before the cam
paign is over"
1t is easy to perceive that the
chief concern of the Democratic
and Republican leaders is on the
number of electoral votes which
may possibly fall into the hands
Of LaFollette and throw the cleo
ton into Congress. Situations OF
this kind have been known in
American history but always de-
plored as inimical to party inter-
ests.
1t is conceded that no party
can boast of harmony as consider
able differences have developed
among the followers of the three
principal contestants for the
Presidency. The principal diff
Guilty at present is to smooth over
the bitterness developed by fac
tional spirit at the conventions.
Leaders are hopeful that they can
keep the controversy within the
confines of a family quarrel with
a view to the success of the party
in the November elections. AS
one distinguished foreign politi-
cal observer put it, the American
election period is a time when
the ardour of faction is re-
doubled; and all the artificial pas
sions which the imagination can
create in the bosom of a happy
and peaceful land are agitated
and brought to life"

Senate charged with the respons

Treasury Secretary Says He
Has Not Contributed Money
For Defeat Of Measure.

Secretary Of the Treasury Andrew

organization known as the Elk.
Service Mems Anti.Bonus League.
Il don't know anything about any

bonus" said Mellon, in response to
questions.
Quinn Charged Slush Fund.
MELONS, denial today was in con.
nection with speech by John r.
Quinn, national commander Of the
American Legion, in which Quinn
charged that slush fund Of $780,.
900 had been raised by big interests
to finance the league and defeat
the bonus.
Quinn produced letters written by
II. B. Rust, president Of the Koppere
Company, Pittsburgh. stating that
he was making a contribution to
the Anti-Bonus League through
George Dawson, vice president OF
the Gulf Oil Corporation. Both
these concerns are identified with
the Mellon interests In Pittsburgh.
The legion has many other letters,
Quinn declared, showing how big in.
dustrial concerns have coercedd

Company was another corporation

Mellon Attacked.
II do not know," said Quinn,
whether Andrew w. Mellon has

Workers Victory,
By DAVID M. CHURCH.
International News Service,

LONDON. Feb. 21.-Although the
strike Of dock workers IL settled.
imports, especially 81 foodstufn and
malls, were still neld up today.
The peril Of q food famine will
not be ended until the agreement
between the strikers and the en-
ployers is ratified.
The strike ended in a victory for
the men. :
At first 1t was reported the
strikers were returning to their
posts but later the dock workers
leaders announced that the strikers
would not resume their duties until
the agreement IL formally con-
firmed.
The strike of busmen has been
settled, also.
The ending Of these strikes is
another feather in the cap Of the
labor government which has had its
hands full settling labor disputes
since 1t came into power less than
two months ago.
The terms Of the dock settlement
were not revealed, but 1t was under.

the men, and viii grant the re-

Coal porters. who struck In sym.
pathy with the lockers, were still
idle today.
Pickets from the ranks Of the
porters and dock workers were on
duty along the water fronts.
IT the dock agreement IL officially
ratified tonight, sufficient food will
be unloaded from ships tomorrow
TO end the peril Of a famine, but
there win not be a general resump.
ton OF work before Monday.
The stevedore's union announced
they would not resume work until
separate consideration Is given to
their claims by the dock owners.
1t was reported In authoritative
quarters that Premier Ramsay Mac.
Donald was responsible for the
dock agreement, threatening to take
over the docks and operate them
by the government unless the men
came to terms.

IS. FAITH CONE
|. IN DAUGHERTY,
SAYS ADAMS
Colorado Senator Ayers That
Resignation From Depart
ment Is imperative.
BY TOM EvERITT,
Cosmopolitan News Service.

United. States Senator A. b.
Adams OF Colorado today declared
that Attorney General Harry III.
Daughterty should follow the OK
ample of Secretary Of the Navy
DENLY and resign.
Adams charged that Daugherty
has neither the trust nor confidence
OF President Coolidge nor of the
American people, and that the De-
partment of Justice was created to
function for the people in the ad-
ministratton of justice; and should
be so administered.
He charged. further, that by the
appointment Of Atlee B. Pomerene
and Owen ]. Roberts as special
prosecutors Of the Teapot Dome
oil lease cases, President Coolidge
has been compelled to set up a
special department Of justice owing
to his distrust of Daugherty.
Adams, in commenting upon the
Wheeler Senate resolution which
demands the resignation of Daugh-
erty, said, DENLY has set a good
example that Daugherty should fol.
low. Here IL the United States with
tts elaborate machinery for the en-
forcement OF law. with its investiga-
tors and other officials reaching into
every part Of the country, under the
direction Of President Coolidge
through Daugherty."
Lack Of Confidence.
Yet. the President. Of hia own
volition. before he had knowledge
Of any action by the Senate, ap-
pointed independent attorneys, who
are setting UP a separate establish
ment for the enforcement Of law.
The Government and the people
are denied the use of this nachin-
cry by lack Of confidence On the
part Of the President in q member
Of his Cabinet who heads this de-
partment.
IF the legal procedure Of recov.
ering the vast property coming I'm.
der these oil leases cannot be en-
trusted to the legal department OF
the Government, 1t Is certainly time
that department should be reor-
ganized."
"If the President feels that he
cannot make use Of the Department
Of Justice because Of lack Of public
confidence in that department, it
rests upon him to restore that pub
lie confidence"
"If he was unwilling to entrust
these prosecutions to the DEPART
mant Of Justice because he lacked
confidence in the Department Of
Justice, he IL certainly obIigafed
to take, whatever. steps necessary
to reorganize that department, 90
that It win be entitled to his con-
ddencet"
81 Duty Of the President.
Consequently. it does not matter
upon what grounds the lack Of conS
ndence rests, the same duty IL i'm
posed upon President Coolidge. He
should make whatever changes are
necessary, both to justify and to re-
ceive the confidence Of the public
and himself"
1T follows that there are many
other matters in which the people
OF the United States are compelled
to rely for their protection upon
the Department Of Justice. II this
department cannot be trusted upon
matters Of vast concern, there is
no more reason that 1t can be trust
ed upon matters Of lesser import
ance." -
Therefore, It IL my opinion that
Attorney General Daugherty should
follow Denby's example, and resign"
