COOLIDGE MUST
PURGE PARTY
To Win
Senator Brookhart Presages
Defeat in West Unless
Leaders Change.
BY GLADSTONE WILLIAMS.
Cosmopolitan News Service.

Before the Republican party can
hope to win in the next Presidential
election 1t will have to clear it's
skirts Of oil stains anG throw out
all reactionaries, in the opinion OF
Senator Smith w. Brookhart, liberal
Republican, Of Iowa.
Senator Brookhart, who has been
appointed chairman Of the com.
mittee to investigate Attorney Gen
eral Harry M. Daugherty, sees his
own party weighed with such a
burden from the oil scandal and
conservative tendencies that with.
out a progressive reorganization 1t
will be impossible next November
to make the grade in the West and
Middle West. And without Western
support the party is doomed to
defeat, he says.
West In Balance.
"The west has been hanging IN
the balance for some time," the
Iowa Senator declared today. "Reve'
lations in the oil investigation have
intensified the situation and left n
stain on the party that will be
hard to remove. The best way to
overcome It is to nominate an out
and out progressive, some one whose
record is clear Of the whole pro.
ceedings. and who would command
support from the west.
eff President Coolidge IL nom.
mated next June he will have to
purge his Administration of all con-
sentative leadership before he can
hope to win. That is his only
hope"
Without mentioning names, Brook.
hart said several Cabinet members
should be replaced by leaders of
progressive thought. Mr.. Coolidge
should surround himself with a new
group of officials outspoken as pro.
gressives. he asserted.
Candidates Available.
Former Senator William 8. Ken
yon of Iowa is Senator Brookhart's
first choice for the Republican nom
ination. However, he believes that
either one Of several progressive
leaders would meet with the ma jor-
ity favor of the American people.
Senator La Toilette would sweep
the country, If given the Repub-
lican nomination" Brookhart de-
clared. Senator Norris of Ne
braksa, Governor Pinchot and Sena-
tor johnson Of California would
also make highly acceptable candi,
dates"
The Iowa Senator does not dis.
cuss the prospects for a third
party movement at this time, but
his views are regarded as an index
to progressive thought in general.
