A bombshell has been thrown into
both the Davis and La Toilette
camps by the publication of an affi-
davit made by George Remus, who
is serving term in the Atlanta
penitentiary and who was one of
the chief witnesses for the prosecu-
ton in the Wheeler investigation of
former Attorney General Daugherty.
Remus charges in his affidavit that
Senator Wheeler, presidential
candidate on the La Toilette ticket,
and Senator Brookhart bribed him
to aid them in framing" Attorney
General Daugherty, promising him
his liberty from prison, to be Sc
cured by their political influence, if
he would come to Washington and
testify falsely against Daugherty
and Jesse Smith, who was sort of
unofficial private secretary to
Daugherty; that under the influence
of an impelling desire for liberty,
he, Remus, finally yielded to the
temptation and did so falsely testi-
fly that he had made large payments
to the said Jesse Smith; that as
matter of fact he never made any
payments to the said Smith and did
not even know him, and that TO
the best of his knowledge and belief
the entire story was manufactured
out of whole cloth by CASTOR B.
Means, discharged detective of
the Department of Justice. Means
was and is himself under Indictment
in New York state, and his trial
was postponed at the instance of
Wheeler. Remus, who is a man of
more than ordinary intelligence and
who made a fortune in the illicit |
sale of liquor and was known as
"the bootleg king, swears that
Harry Stern, lawyer representing
Wheeler and Brookhart, came to
him and told him they wanted ito |
get Daugherty" and would procure |
his freedom if he would swear as
he did. but that they have failed |
to live up to this "gentleman's |
agreement, wherefore, having aban- |
doned hope of procuring freedom un- !
til he has completed his term, he
wishes to nullify the effect of his !
false and perjured testimony.
Organized labor is the chief sup
port of-in the big cities; and his
utterances are as criminal as they |
are wildly silly. All the ugly forces
that seethe beneath the social crust |
are behind him. The appeal for him
is frankly ON class and sectional
hatred. 1t Is as vicious campaign |
as | have ever seen. And the worst |
of it is that the very people whom
one would wish to help are those |
who are going most wrong, and are
putting themselves in such a position

Careful estimates of the situation
in the Senate and the House made
recently show in what unspeakable
chaos the government would be
plunged should La Toilette receive
a sufficient number of votes to
throw the election into the House.
The House would be hopelessly
deadlocked. All concede that. But
an analysis of the Senate shows that
it would also. With its choice con-
fined to Dawes and Bryan, the
chances are that neither candidate
could win because the body would be
so evenly divided. Who, then would
be President after March d? Sena-
tor Walsh of Montana, regarded
at least in his own party as an ex-
cellent constitutional lawyer. main

hand there are number of able
Senators who contend that Postmas-

come President. They point out that
Congress, sometime ago, in order to
protect the mail service, enacted
law specifically providing that the
Postmaster General should hold Of
nee until his successor had qualified.
They contend that the terms of all
other cabinet officers expire with
that of the President, and as the
line of succession" consists of the
members of the cabinet, beginning
with the Secretary of State and run
ming down to the last cabinet office
created. and as the Postmaster Gem
eral would be the only cabinet officer
in office, he must naturally succeed
to the presidency. All of which shows
the chaos into which the country
would be plunged by any consider
able third party vote.

June 80 was received from the chair
man too late for insertion in the
last issue. While the report is late,
it still contains interesting items
both for those who contribute to
the work and to those benefitting
by it.
Miss Jane Whitlow, the nurse in
charge, gives splendid account of
herself in the summary of work
accomplished. One of the most hope
full items of the work is the class
conducted in the schools in "Home
Hygiene and Care Of the Sick"
Keeping well is big problem for
this day and age, and if children are
fortified by proper instruction dur
ing school days, they are assured
of better health in the future.
Miss Whitlow has concentrated on
the effort to keep the school children
up to proper weight, and in this con-
nection seeks to have children in the
lower grades drink milk at recess
time. The benefits to be derived from
this have been amply proven.
The Well Baby Clinic has in
creased in popularity, and mothers
who have brought their babies to the
weekly meetings have been material
ly assisted in preserving their
health. A group picture was taken
of the Annual Baby Party and sent
to the American Red Cross in
Washington for publication in their
weekly paper, "The Courier"
Miss Whitlow has been reengaged
for another year. She was granted
leave Of absence to attend the sum-
mer sessions at Columbia University
where she took postgraduate studies
in health work. This will equip her
for even higher service than she
has already rendered.
