Old Tine leaders like Senator Lodge realize that unless the | republican administration cleans house the people will do so at the polls at the first opportunity. The suggestion made by Mr. Ladge to the President that the resignation of Attorney General Daugherty be accepted involves mnot the slightest lack of personal feeling on the part of the Massachusetts leader for Mr. Daugherty.

Should a public accusation be made, the defewse is expected to follow those limes- Offcials’ who take this attitude follow the* reasoning of Senator EI- kins, repubfican, West Virginia, who said yesterday that although he had bought and wold stock he was con-; scious of now wrong-doing, as his trading, he e@id, had been on the ame basis as Ahat of men engaged | in all branches vof industry, who de- pend on fortury:te investments to { breserve and inca their capital. See Actl Vita Nevertheless, mary’ republican se ators are convinced' that the public will not accept such \an explanation, and that the Presidewt should act quickly to erase ever ot of popular distrust from his adminAitration. In the case of Attormey General Daugherty, it is pointed ©ut that a direct charge that his name appeared to be “mixed” in the oil scwndal has been made on the Senate floor by Senator Wheeler, democrat, INontana: that the Attorney General renatedly has been attacked by senatov's for taking no action to stop the consum- mation of leases which Congress'.now has declared to have been made a2D- trary to law, and that in addit\on many charges relating to other mav; ters have been made publicly ana will be investigated if the proposcd { inquiry into the Department of Jus- tice is earried out.

Fantastic Rumors Heard. The rumor factory meanwhile corking overtime. Tales so fantas tic that they seem incredible are heard about the speculation of various pub- Tic officials in :tocks, both in connec tion with the of ng developments and other government tramsactions affecting the stock market. Not since the famous “le: investigation of the winter of 1917 has the finger of Suspicion been pointed in as many di- rections in_the National Capital as foday. At that time it was not proved that any official was a party to any stock market transactions, although outside: were supposed to have ob- tained information enabling them to speculate. . The new turn of affairs indicates that the connection between the stock market and persons in posi- tions of responsibility was close in deed. The investigators of the sena tortal committee are working tire- lessly on the books of various brokerage houses to discover the names of prominent persons engaged in oil speculation about the time the oil leases were made.
