The Democrats To Urge Clean
Government.

The first assault on the Coolidge Admin
istration growing out Of the Teapot Dome
scandal was launched by Chairman Cordell
Hull, Of the Democratic National Commit
tee. last Saturday in a sweeping challenge
TO Mr. Coolidge TO clean house.
Mr. Hull. in his excoristion of the Ad-
ministration, refers to the Teapot Dome
exposure as the climax Of long series.
including the Newberry. Daueherty. Cold
stein. ship sales. Veterans Bureau, Toll
bert, Slemp. ship subsidy, Bureau Of En-
craving and Tariff Commission scandals.
He adds
During most of this Administration Mr..
Coolidge was Vice President Of the United
States and sat as an unofficial member Of
the Presidents Cabinet. For nearly six
months he has been President Of the
United States During all this time he
has uttered no word Of condemnation Of
any Of these scandals, nor word Of warn
ing against those impending nor against
the policy pursued by the Republican re-
dictionaries who dominate the Administra-
ton.
ut was not until yesterday. when the
testimony concerning the alleged loans to
Fell was made public, that he was aroused
from his lethsrey to make any statement
concerning the Teapot Dome scandal, and
then only TO say that he is reluctant to
haIt dstilf NJ
criminal intent. but that il evidence Of
criminality is shown the Administration
will take action to punish the guilty and
to bring about the annulment Of the lease,
which, Of course, would be a mere matter
Of routine.
Until the testimony referred to was
given he has been as blind apparently as
Secretary Of the Navy DENLY professed to
be when he testified in the Teapot Dome
scandal. Secretary DENLY. who signed the
naval oil leases. is still in President Cool
idge's Cabinet and Theodore Roosevelt,
who testified he approved the leases. is
still Mr. Denby's assistant. DR.. Work, re-
sponsible for the Reclamation Service
scandal, Is still Secretary Of the Interior
Others. less offensive. but no less discred-
tied. continue to occupy positions Of honor
and trust.
Although the time would seem to be
ripe for house cleaning throughout the
entire Administration. there is no promise
Of it nor any indication that IL is contem-
plated. On the contrary. the Administra-
tion. from the President down. seems to
center It's efforts upon the nomination Of
Mr.. Coolidge with the hope OF perpetuatine
itself
There is one way, and only one way,
to clean house, punish the perpetrators of
the scandals already revealed. expose the
Administration scandals that still remain
concealed and insure for the next four
years the abolition Of corrupt government
and the restoration Of clean government
to the United States, and that is to place
the Democratic party in full power in the
administrative and legislative branches Of
the Government which has an unbem-
ished record OF honest and faithful public
service for more than hundred years"
