Reasons For His Dismissed
 Untenable, Says Daugherty
Replies Second Time To Coolidge Note To Main
 tain Charges Are False

Coolidge and twice had been asked to remain in the cabinet, and declared the ends of party expediency would not be served by his retirement for his critics soon would turn on other members of the administration.
 Lost Friend In Harding's Death
 Mir. Daugherty was supported, en- couraged and aided for two and a half years in his fights. by Warren. C.. Harding, the man, whom he helped so greatly to become President. With the aid of President Harding he withstood the attacks and won out by. three, to one vote in the house more than year ago after impeachment proceedings had been instituted against him.
 Mir. Harding's death cost MT. Dau3h- erty his best friend but the Attorney General found steady supporter in President Coolidge. This support was accorded him lutil three weeks ago, when, in the midst of one of his crises and with Senators Lodge of Massachu- sets, Borah of Idaho, and Pepper of Pennsylvania, republican leaders, urg- ing the President to get Mir. Daugh- erty out of the cabinet, the Attorney General suddenly left Washington for Chicago and Florida.

fact that you are placed in two po- sitions one your personal interest, the other your office of Attorney General, which may be in conflict.
 "How can I satisfy a request for ac- tion in matters of this nature on the ground that you, as Attorney General, advise against it., when you as the in- dividual against whom the inquiry, is directed, necessarily have a personal interest in it? I do not see how you can be acting for yourself in your own defense in this matter, and at the same time and on the same question, acting as my adviser as Attorney General.
 These two positions are incompat- ible and cannot be reconciled. I am sure you will see that it is necessary for me to have the advice of disin- terested Attorney General in order that I may discharge the duties of my of flee in this and other matters. I feel certain that you will know how deeply I regret that this situatio.. has arisen. It only Illustrates the difficulties which are certain to recur with ever increas- ing embarrassment, and your inability to perform satisfactorily the duties of Attorney General under present condi- tions.
 You will readily understand that it is not now my intention to prejudge the issues which remain 10 be developed in this investigation. I recognize that you are entitled to a full and fair hearing. But as there is no way by which you can divest yourself of the interest you have personally in the in- vestigation, can see no way but for you to retire as Attorney General and I am therefore compelled to request your resignation.
 "Very truly yours,
 CALVIN COOLIDGE"
 Daughertys Reply
 The Attorney Generals reply, writ ten today, follows:
 My Dear President:
 II hereby acknowledge receipt of your letter of March 27th, by the hand of your secretary, requesting my resig- nation as Attorney General of the United States.
 Solely out of deference to your re- quest and in compliance herewith I hereby tender my resignation. While you do not state when you desire my resignation to become effective, most respectfully request that it become eff. fective forthwith.
 Yours very truly.
 HI. M. DAUGHERTY,
 '... Attorney General"

shortly before the late Attorney Gen eral boarded train for Atlantic City.
 This second letter dealt with the final developments in vigorous Ian guage. He started with the proposi- tion that the Presidents request for his resignation was based on grounds which he considered "untenable," and declared he refused to furnish the Sen ate committee with the department files ''in the interest of the public business and for the protection of the government" He denied that the ef- ficiency of the department had been injured by the Senate inquiry; de- clared the charges made against him in the Senate inquiry were false, and asserted that whether true or false, if a public official were to be compelled to give up his office because charges were preferred against him., no man in official life would be safe and stable government might be destroyed by clamor. ,.f |,
 The charges. Mir. Daugherty de- clared, proceeded from two sources-a partnership of-the rioter and the war profiteers." He disclosed that he had twice offered his resignation to MT.

TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR 4s
CALLS FOR CORRECTION

On account of typographical
error In the Stow article of last
week, we are making correction by
rcpublishing the paragraph in which
the error occurred.
The word grocer" in the Jour
nal OF last week should have been
grower" and the sense OF part Of
the article was destroyed. The cor
rection follows:
The greatest and most serious
drawback presented to the farmers
Of the San Luis valley is that the
buyers put the price on their prod
ucts-and goodness knows that's
serious enough--but this same con-
dition exists in all other farming
districts today, SO one cannot i'm
prove that evil by making a move.
But l do not hesitate to predict that
someday. somehow. this unbusiness-
like, antiquated system will be
changed. and when It is, the pro-
ducer will build his marketing plans
on the same sound business basis
that the manufacturer has--and
when buyers need the products OF
the farm they will ask the grower
the price Of his commodities, instead
OF telling him what they will give
And under this new system over-pro-
duction will be avoided Just as the
manufacturers avoid over-produc-
tion today. and the price quoted by
the growers of farm products will
be based upon the cost Of produc-
tion. plus the salary Of the farmer
plus a profit-and under this plan
speculation will be eliminated and
the danger Of serious losses be re-
moved.
