B0yuh Beats Them All

Senator Borah plays very peculiar role in the republican
party He the official wede of the whewash brusha sort
ment in Washington and the party which he serves.
In the Ncaraguan Borah pretended it IN order
put any feeble protest that there might
be- and he then did the dirty work for President Coolidge for the
state denarnt and for Wall Street bv preventing any discus
Nicaragua during the PanAmercan Union Congress at
Havana Finally chairman of the foreign relations committee
he brought against the Withdrawal of the troops in
Nicaragua.
In the cae played similar role
and with other dangerous movement of protest that
threatened to get under way.
His latest and many respects his drest job the one he
performing the SincarG P liberty bond scandal
Here he has made brilliant suggestionhat the republican
party hand back that portion of their corrup campaign
1920 which that they have actually
been caught receiving from the Teapot Dome bride This

cay rally to such causenamey the washing of little dirty
oil from the white house dome.
Likely not the republican party will accept the suggestion
After ALL it their duty gentlemen to give Sinclair back his
they failed deliver Teapot Dome! Borah could
have made no more cynical proposal than this.
In this connection want to make prediction although
fully conscious that prophecies always dangerous
business The prediction is that Senator Borah will come out

has already been suggested his letter to the present
chairman Of the republican national committee William NJ Butler
That is Borah will suggest and the republican party will accept
The proposal to make expatoy goat out of The

scandals connected with the Harding administration the burden

DENLY Fall Daughery sacrificed Thus the republican
party party and the national government government
made "atonement" for their crime.
This goat business little trick borrowed from religious
ritual When particularly henou sin had been committed
for which the the should have been sacrificed
goat sacrificed instead This done fool outraged
god and according to the accounts of the priests it always
worked Besides the priest got the dead goat after the sacrifice
This method proved effective that capitalist politicians
have adopted the scheme. Whenever sacrifice required
appeas the wrath of usawakening the old trick is
Someone selected ito be the goat the hope
that the masses will be fooled and satisfied.
To finish predction-the goats this will be Sin
clair and Hays Sinclair will be punished suggested both by
having his tainted money scornuy rejected gh years after

little too hreadbare work again. and here exposing in
But the thing that should be interesting those
elements who believe that there difference between Borah
and the most reaconay politician the republican party in the
matter of the loyalty of their services capitalism that Borah
usual playing the dest role of ALL He putting of
whte-wash edce that should be Anyone
who still has faith him should watch closely all of his actions
