the whole Administration because of
the silent support, given Daugh-
erty by President Coolidge.
On the other hand, Republicans
argued that refutation Of the
charges would rebound to the Ad-
ministration's credit, react against
lts Democratic critics and place
Daugherty In the light of a political
martyr unjustly prosecuted. For
this reason, support of the Attorney
General was rapidly growing
throughout the Administration
ranks.
Regardless Of the Senate's ulti.
mate verdict, the investigation will
end Daugherty's public career.
The Attorney General has told
his close friends he would retire
from the Cabinet whether he was
INDICATED or convicted by the pub.
lie trial for personal reasons. He
is Sixty-four years old and not in
the best Of health.
By his militant defense against
overwhelming odds, the Attorney
General has materially increased his
support in the Senate. Some AID.
ministration Senators, who were
crying for his political blood a week
ago, stood ready today to battle be.
meath his standard.
Urged by Daugherty.
While passage Of the resolution
itself was never in doubt-because
Daugherty himself urged its enact.
ment-a battle has developed over
the naming Of the special investi.
eating committee.
Friends Of Daugherty opposed the
plan Of Senator Wheeler D.) Of
Montana, who sponsored the investi.
cation, for naming a personally &C.
lected committee to be headed by
Senator Brookhart (R.) Of Iowa, an
insurgent leader, and dominated by
the acknowledgements coalition.
Daugherty's followers demanded
the committee be named by Presi-
dent Pro Tenn Cummins R.) of
Iowa.
There Is no intention to attack
individual Senators, but the com.
mittee should be named by the
Senate's presiding officer" said
Senator Willis R.) Of Ohio, leader
Of the Daugherty group. I'VE will
force vote on this question"
Willis also revealed that Daugh-
eryt's friends will seek to obtain
permission for him to be repre-.
scented by counsel at the trial" and
for authority to have his attorney
cross-examine witnesses appearing
before the committee. Such priv.
leges have been extended In the
past to persons ION trial" before
Senate committees.
With the resolution passing the
Senate today, the public trial"
probably will be started by the mid.

will be encountered while the in
vestigating committee organizes and
