"The guilty are not being

as long as the Daugherty spirit re-
mains in control of the Department

"Mr. Coolidge says the people
know his position and the law will
be enforced. Judging the future
from the past, they also know that
the law will not be enforced against
those within the inner circle as long
as the Republican machine controls
the administration Of Justice"
In a speech Monday night in Den

Senator Lawrence Phipps, Colorado
Republican, and called upon the peo-
pie to elect his Democratic opponent,
Senator Alva Adams. Wheeler
charged that Phipps confessed before

because it would reduce the profits
of the Southern Sierra High Power
Company, of which he is a stock
holder.
