ADMITS BIG BIZ
COT WAR PROFITS
Says Dough Was Used
to Fight Bonus

WINSTON-SALEM, N. c., Feb.
24.-Defeat Of bonus legislation up
to date has moved John r. Quinn,
national commander Of the American
Legion, to launch an attack at Big
Business for it's opposition to the
bonus.
In an address to American Legion
representatives from Southern states
he demanded that in the next war
money and means must be drafted
as well as men.
War profits were used to fight the
bonus bill, he declared, and Presidenl
Harding was led to veto it by an
astounding miscalculaticn" Of treas
ury statistics by Secretary Mellon.
"And so it goes on; Mellon juggles
figures and big business spends few
boarded war profits to fight against
the passage of obligations which are
pledged to US by the republican
party. I say that taxes can be re-
duced as much or even more than
Secretary Mellon contemplates with
out hardship to any person, and you
have heard the figures that prove it.

clear indication that he is standing
by him.
President Coolidge is counting poll
tical ruin by keeping Attorney Cen
eral Daugherty in the Cabinet, Sem
ator Robinson, Arkansas, Democratic
floor leader, said in a speech to the
Senate.
Robinson's speech was delivered
just after it had been announced at
the White House that Mr.. Coolidge
had endorsed Daugherty as a "Cool-
idge delegate" from Ohio to the next
Republican national convention. This
step by the President followed within
less than "a hours a defense of
Daugherty by John T. Adams, chair
man Of the Republican Committee,
who said the assaults on Daugherty
were being conducted by political
blackguards and scandal mongers."

Robinson said, THAT so long as the
Presidents retains as his intimate po-
litical adviser a man who has lost his
confidence and the confidence of the
people, it is calculated to work out
the political ruin Of the executive"

Wheeler would promise to let Daugh-
erty's relations with industrial gun
men lie quiet.
To the Point.
Wheeler's speech in the senate on
Feb. 10, demanding that Daugherty
be forthwith put under examination
before a special committee, was blunt
and ominous. He had shown how
Fall and Doheny and others had adj
mitted their guilt in the oil deal suf-
ficiently to warrant prosecution, and
that Daugherty had done nothing.
Turnout the entire investigation, .
he said, mot one scintilla of evidence
has been offered to the senate COM
mittee by any of the Investigators for
the department of justice. Here the
congress has appropriated a million
dollars for the detection and prose-
cution of crime. We have employed
the Burns detective agency, one Of
the most renowned detective agencies
in the world, and we find that the de-
partment of justice, instead Of try
ing to detect the greatest crooks and
those guilty of the greatest crimes
against the nation that have ever
been perpetrated--we find the de-
partment of justice protecting them
all during this time; we find them pro-
tecting them tonight, because am

afraid of keeping Daugherty and Of
seeming to join in kicking him over
board, Wheeler boldly blocked the
trick of Willis Of Ohio, messenger boy
for Daugherty, who had slipped into
the hand of Senator Cummins, pre-
siding over the senate, a list of sena-
tors who should make up the special
committee to try the case. Willis, as
Wheeler promptly told the senate,
had just come from a conference
with Daugherty, and this list must
have been suggested or approved by
the accused.
Meanwhile everyone around the
capitol had learned how Cautious
Cali had staged Borah's visit to the
White House; had dramatically sum-
moned Daugherty into the room; had
listened in silence for two hours while
Borah told Daugherty TINT not even
Coolidge had any confidence in him,
and that he, Daugherty, ought to re-
sign; how Coolidge had just twiddled
his spectacles in both hands, and said
nothing, even at the end, and how
Daugherty stayed - the cabinet
for the perilous present.

Teapot Was Losing
Proposition, Says
Harry, The SpOOfer
Especial I. The Daily worker

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 24.--Harry
Sinclair is glad to get rid Of Teapot
Dome. All the scandals Of the oil in
vestigations in the U. S. Senate are
part Of baleful, machiavellian, mas
ter-mind plot of Harry himself be-
cause he couldn't find any oil in the
Teapot, didn't know how to get rid
of it, and so hit upon the plan of in
vestigating himself thru the Senate.
He knew the psychology Of the
American people so well that he
reckoned that they would cancel his
worthless lease. if graft were limited,
and he would thus get rid OF the bur-
den.
Harry himself admits all Of the
above. At least, that's the kind Of
propaganda he sends down to Mexico.

for word as it appeared in the Eng
lish section of Excelsior down here.
But take a sedative before you be-
gin, cause it's exciting. All ready?

OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. a.
Delayed. THE Harry Sinclair tea
pot dome revelations are being read
here with the greatest interest as
Sinclair is we'll known here. There
is more than a suspicion that Sim
clair brought about the investiga-
tions himself in order to get the tea
pot dome leases cancelled and part
of his expenditures returned
It is believed here that the gov
eminent possibly made a good deal
so that it would get fuel oil at
very low price and provided the tea
lpot dome had been highly prolific
Sinclair would have a made a good
thing out of It in spite of the stiff
terms, but it is a colossal failure as
compared to the expectations. Sim
clair has obligated himself to drill
ccrtain number Of wells and if he
goes thru with his contract he will
suffer a tremendous loss. It is now
the logical conclusion that he is going
to get out of the affair as best he can
which is to have the government can
eel the whole business and reimburse
him for money already spent He
knows the public mind we'll enough
to understand that the public will
insist upon the cancellation.
