DAUGHERTY SEES | 10 BE WELL POSTED Said to Be Best Informed Man in; Cabinet | Washington, Dee, §,~In boyhood, a | country youth helping to support widowed mother, In manhood, closest friend and counselor of America's exeoutive and a keen student of politics. Such is the story of Attorney Gen- eral Harry M. Daugherty, In Daugherty's career, politics have | played a prime part, But he has held only one elective office, as legis- | lator from an Ohio county’in 1889, In 1888 he unsuccessfully sought the republican congressional nomina- | tion from his Ohio district. In 1889 the Hanna group defeated his booi for governor, Myron T. Herrick dR feated him in 1906 for the senatorial nomination in Ohio. | Despite his defeats, Daugherty 18| considered the best posted man in the | Harding cabinet on American politics. Daugherty was born in Washington | Court House, O., Jan. 26, 1680. His| fauther died when he was four years old. The boy worked as an errand | boy, as a gardener and a grocery | clerk while attending school and saved money to put himself through the University of Michigan. In 1881, Daugherty took up law and entered politics in Washington Court House. He attended the legislature from there and became skilled in dis- trict leadership. Exoncrated of Charges. The legistative session Daugherty attended was followed by charges of bribery in.conpection with the vote for John Sherman, candidate for U. 8. sepator. Daugherty's name was men- tioned in connection with the charges, but he wasiexonerated in 1802. That year Daugherty moved to Co- lumbus, where he practiced law and took a prominent part in state poli- tics. He was republican state cen- | tral committe chairman in 1898, In 1902 he formed the law firm of Daugherty, Todd & Rarey, with which hewas associatéd when he became at- torney general, The firm's clients in- cluded some of the biggest corpora- tions in America. But politics . largély Daugherty's attention. He was on the Taft steering committee; at the 1908 republican national convention. An act for which his political op- ponents berate him is his participa- tion in getting commutation of the sentences of Charles W. Morse, con- victed of false entries in the ‘books of the Bank of North America. . Haeding's Friend. 4 Twenty years ago Warren G. Hard- ing came to the Ohio legislature from Marion.

In 1004 he helped elect lieutenant governor of Ohilo, promoted Harding's senatorial paign, In 1920, Daugherty managed Hard- ing's presidential campalgn, The Ohio state records shaw that more than $18,000 of the $20,000 spent for Harding's nomination was contributed by his old friend and adviser, Harry Harding He also | M, Daugherty Selection of Daugherty for the cabinet followed, Daugherty's wife has long been an |invalid, a fact, it is believed, that has caused Daugherty repeatedly to re- fuse offices which would necessitate their moving from their home in Columbus, (MANUFACTURE OF ‘ ORDNANCE IS CUT Alrcady Stopped Construction on Many Vessels— Government Has Will Effect Great Saving. ‘Washington, Dec. §.~—How the naval limitation treaty already has curtailed the manufacture of navy ordnance was portrayed in the annual report of the navy department's ordnance, bureau. Although the treaty's provisions will not become cffective until the Instrument has becen rati- fied by all the signatory powers, the government has stopped construction work on a sufficient number of ves- sels to effect a considerable saving in expenditures for armor, armament and munitions. A total of $47,470,- (00, had ben appropriated ~for ord- nance during the fiscal year of 1922, and although exact figures are not yet avallable, the bureau's report esti- mated that something like $39,000,000 remained unexpended at the end of the year. Work on the 16-inch b50-calibre gun program Was stopped entirely as a result of the treaty, while the manu- facture of armor and turret material for several first-line ships was sus- pended. There was a large curtail- ment of torpedo manufacture, a’' con- tract for 2,000 held by one company being amended so as to calj for .de- livery of only 400.
