Of organized labor to appeal to the
conscience of the Republican and
Democratic conventions. But it may
be significant that, in publishing ex.
tracts from the LaFollette statement,
the A. F. of L. weekly news letter Sc
lects only the anti-Communist ma
terial Nor is there anything to no
tify the reader that LaFollette seems
to be launching an independent cam
paign for the presidency
On the other hand, there are hints
that no choice as to a presidential
ticket and platform will be formally
made by the A.. f. of L. non-partisan
political committee until after July
A. A choice between the Republican
and Democratic tickets, before La
Follettes convention had met, would
be likely to lead to much contention
anyhow.
What LaFollette and his friends
now have to face is the demand that
Mr.. Gompers is likely to make, that
they take stand against recognition
Of Russia, and against all other moves
which may permit the Soviet system
to take a place alongside older forms
of government in the councils of the
powers. Also, there is the question
of pacifism and the question of en-
enlargement of the Socialist move
ment abroad.

THE FAILURE OF LA TOILETTE

cultural masses of the northwest
whose interests he has pretended to
have at heart. With the farmers more
broke than ever and the industrial
situation sinking rapidly into stagna-
ton equalled only by the great depres-
sion Of three years ago the Wisconsin
senator will be unable to pose as a
progressive to the extent that he did
in the past, in the light of his refusal
to try to make congress toe the mark.
Despite the fact that La Toilette
has had the whip hand in the senate
in the first session of congress and in
spite of the fact that the so-called
progressive group in the house and
senate has been in a better position
to WELD influence than ever before,
less has been attempted, let alone
accomplished, in behalf Of the work
ing masses and poor farmers by the
national legislature than in many
years.
No Independent Battle.
At the outset it was clear that the
only way the self-styled progressives
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-06-05

could hope to be effective was to
wage an independent battle against
the old guard of both parties and
never to relinquish the initiative. In
stead, from the very first day, the in
surgents refused to take the initiative
and gladly allowed the democrats to
swallow them and use them as mere
catspaws in the political maneuvers
characterizing the conflict between the
two groups speaking for the biggest
capitalistic interests.
The bankruptcy of the La Toilette
group, symbolized by the miserable
failure of the Wisconsin senator to
make a serious effort to force the
avowed reactionaries consider the
needs Of the masses, is only the nat
ural and logical policy Of the weak,
vague, compromising, defeatist policy
of the whole progressive" flock here.
La Toilette and his followers re-
fused to make a serious fight for the
control of the Interstate Commerce
committee and put the reactionary
Southern Democratic senator, Smith,
in charge of this most important body
delegated to handle the interests Of
millions Of workers and farmers.
Quit In Taxation Fight.
The insurgents likewise quit cold
in the taxation fight. They were the
laughing stock of the show in the at
tempt to liberalize the rules of pro-
cedure in the house.
Senator Laid, one Of their leading
figures from North Dakota, disting-
uished himself as one of the most ar
dent advocates of giving away the
valuable Muscle Shoals property to
Ford who, next to Gary, is the most
powerful advocate of the open shop
in the country.
When the Teapot Dome scandal was
at white heat the progressives in the
house were silent and in the senate
they threw away every opportunity to
strike effective blows at the very in
terests which they were supposed to
fight.
The only possible elimination to
such a series Of dismal failures and
betrayals on the part of the progress
sives and insurgents was the fight of
La Toilette at the moment when de-
cisive action was needed most.

diate distress of the farmers is shunt-
ed off the main line, and held UP un-
til after election.
"The senate is just waking up to
the fact that it has been asleep at the
switch for months" declared one gen
tleman from the south. That this
comatose condition did not prevent
the senate from reducing taxes for the
recipients OF great incomes, but
blocked principally the farm relief
bills, was not remarked on the floor.
Progressive congressman have
made a little noise for the rec
ord, so that they can go to the coun-
try and point out what they tried to
do, but the fact remains that no de-
termined fight was put up for re-
assembling congress after the party
conventions. In view of their COM
plete lack Of fighting program to
obtain any effective relief for the

Especial to The Daily workerl

WASHINGTON, June A.
Harry NJ. Daugherty, former at.
torney-general, today refused to
appear before the Senate Investi-
cation Committee on the ground
it was without authority to con.
duct the investigation.
Daugherty's refusal to face his
accusers was made in a letter
to Chairman Brookhart, read by
Paul B. Rowland, his attorney.
Daugherty based his refusal tc
appear on the decision of Judge
Cochran in the habeas corpus case
OF Nal S. Daugherty, brother Of the
former encouragement.
A sweeping denial of any illegal
corrupt or unethicap conduct as at
torney-general was made by Daugh
erty in his letter.
Daugherty declared he believed the
committee was engaged in a "desper
ate attempt" to blacken his character
and notified the committee that after
today he would no longer permit his
counsel to attend the hearings foI
him.

mortgage-ridden farmers, it was
doubtless believed by the honorable
gentlemen from the grain states that
a stronger campaign could be made
out in the tall timber with d tale OF
persecution, than would result from
an attempt in congress to get some
thing done.
Senator Curtis made right manful
attempt to obtain action on the bill
to turn Muscle Shoals over to Henry
Ford, so that this bit of business could
be cleaned up before the Republican
convention. His more careful col
leagues thot it better, evidently, to de-
liver the goods after the election is
over, so that the price might not fig
ure too prominently in the campaign.
Curtis motion was therefore defeated.

Cautious Cal at Cleveland. This
Burton is now president Of the
University of Michigan, and for
a while was at the University of
Minnesota.
When he ruled the women
college he was credited with saying
disparaging things about the size OF
Coolidge's brain-pan, and his opinion
in that respect appears to have re-
manned unchanged up to year ago
But last winter he was entertained
at the White House, and was given a
dinner at which DENLY, who had been
dismissed from the cabinet a few
weeks before, was POSTMASTER. The
celebration turned out to be an ova-
ton for DENLY, but Burton accepted
the second-fiddle role with the sleek
grace of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., and
he went away with cordial feelings for
both Cal and DENLY.
This Burton, who will eulogize Can
didate Coolidge, is not a blood rela-
tive to the Theodore Burton Of Cleve-
land, who will eulogize President
Coolidge in the keynote speech. They
are related only thru seervic to the
system.
