INDIANA VOTERS TO ssSCRATCH"
STATE AND NATIONAL TICKETS
Coolidge Believed Likely to Get Electors, ThougI,
Democrats Are Confdent-La Toilette May
Receive 200, 900 Votes.

although the militant Democratic
State organization is making extrava-
CANT claims for John w. Davis.\ The
La Toilette organization believes the
Wisconsin Senator will poll in the
neighborhood of 100000 votes and
many politicians are inclined to grant
that estimate.
The congressional and state tickets
are a different story, however. 1t
hardly seems possible that the Re-
publican claim of a clean sweep of
the Representatives is possible. The
Republicans are sure of electing Repre-
sentatives in the tenth, ninth and sixth
districts, and the Democrats seem to
be equally sure Of electing Representa-
tives in the first, second, third and
fourth districts. The others are close
and may go to either party.
AS further evidence of the split
ticket" voting that may be resorted
to, most observers believe that DR..
Carleton B. McCulloch, Democratic
nominee for governor, will be elected
over Jackson and that he Will draw
most, if not all, of the State ticket
with him.

Small. Republican, is expected to win
a reelection, despite a terrific fight
that is being made on him in his own
party.
The Democrats are making a
strenuous campaign for Norman l..
Jones and have hopes of winning.
Small may run 100000 votes behind
his ticket and still be elected over
Jones by big vote because of the
drift toward Coolidge. The Demo-
cratic candidate for United States
Senator Is Col A. A. Sprague, an ex-
service man and a millionaire busi-
ness man, who heretofore has been
a Republican. He has shown ability
as a campaigner, and undoubtedly
will receive a large number of Re-
publican votes.
The Democrats hope to win with
Jones for Governor and Sprague for
Senator The odds appear to be
against them. Outside of that the
Democrats are centering practically
all of their efforts In trying to save
their county ticket in Chicago and
Cook County. JOHN r. BUTMAN.

FRAZIER CALLS
ON DAUGHERTY
To RESIGN
Senator Says Attorney Gen.
eraI Has VIGOROUSLY Neg
Iected Public Business.
By TOM EvERRITT,
Cosmopolitan News Service.


United States Senator Lynn J.
Frazier, Republican, of North Da-
kota, today said that United States
Attorney General Harry M. Daugh.
erty should quit defying Congress,
take an inventory of his useless.
ness in his present position and re-
sign.
Frazier pointed out that Daugh-
erty occupies a public position and
Is accountable to the public for the
faithful performance of his duties.
Although Daugherty was ap-
pointed to the Cabinet by a Presi.
dent, that fact does not relieve him
from public responsibilities, Frazier
said.
Il am certain that Daugherty has
outl1ved his usefulness as Attorney
General of the United States, If he
ever had any, and he should re.
sign," he said.
IF ever there was a great need
for action in the Attorney Generals
office, for the sake of the Admin.
istration and for the sake of re.
storing the confidence of the people
in their Government, that time is
right now.
1.-THE Attorney General has be.
fore him the veterans bureau graft
cases, the Federal Trade Commits.
sion complaint cases, the Teapot
Dome irregularities, and other mat.
tiers, in which no steps have been
taken, so far as anybody knows.
MY conception of the duty of
the Attorney General Of the United
States Is that he is the chief prose.
cutting officer of the United States
government. He is not supposed to
be a mere politician. The people
are supposed to have a share in
the Government, and the Govern.
ment, by some, is expected to func.
ton in their behalf.
II am not sure but that Daugh.
erty Is more Of a politician than
he is an Attorney General; that he
has given more of his attention, un.
der Government salary, to politics
than he has to the Government
business since he has occupied his
present Cabinet position.
The people are tired Of that sort
Of thing, and want honest action
that will get results. Daugherty
must know, within himself, that he
has discredited orderly Government
by his lack Of action. Therefore
I think he should resign, and his
defiance of the United States Sen.
ate, his challenge to the American
people to make him resign comes
with bad grace from one who has
so VIGOROUSLY neglected the pub
lie business"

as reward for obedience. The
youthful George, then fourteen, had

older brother, Lawrence, a commits.
sion as midshipman in the British
navy and was preparing to depart
and enter upon life in the navy
when his mother, then absent, sent
him a message forbidding him to
do 80.
He obeyed, although his heart had
been set upon the life. His mother
ordered the knife from England and
gave 1t to him as a reward for his
obedience. It lie related that she
told him at the time, Always obey
your superiors," and that the lesson
she impressed upon him remained
in his memory throughout life.
When he was about to surrender
his command as commander-in-ch chief
during the bleak days at Valley
Forge, the story goes, he was re.
minded Of the injunction, recalled
that he had been instructed by Con.
gross to lead the army and that no.
body had ordered him to do other.

Mr.. Zachary says the records show
that Washington carried the knife
for fifty-six years.
