La Follétte in Madison Square Garden last night, told the first audience he has addressed since announcing his candidacy for presi- dént that he .did-not intend “to be divertéd from the discugsion of the vital economic issues of the cam- paign by the foolish and preposter- ous assertions of our opponents that in some way we as progressives desire to weaken or impair the * provisions of the constitution of the United States relating to’ the fed- eral courts.” ’ He made this declaration after as- ' sailing the policies and the candl- dates of the republican and demo- cratic parties, which he asserted arée “as alike as two peas im a pod,” wnd contintied To Keep to Records “I propose to keep in the fore- ground oOf ‘the discussion through- out this campaign the record, of the old parties in recent years and the poli¢ies inaugurated by them under which the rallways and other cor- porations have made larger profits than ever before in their peacetime history during the same length of time while labor and the small business men have eked out a bare existence angd the farmers have been driven into bankruptey by the hundreds of thousands and the loss in value of farm lands and farm products has exceeded forty bil- lions of dollars. “The leaders of both old par- ties naturally desire to escape dis- cussion of the shameful acts which have produced such’ results as these, 1 do not intend that they shall avold these issues.” Coolidge and Davis Senator La Follette discussed the | four years was the [z ] GOLDSMITH’S Size 144 to 15% value e 210 BOTH REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

Davis as a “certain distinguished Jawyer naw running for president and trying to get the people to for- get his former clients” who “blocked” efforts of the public to bring about a reduction in tele- phone rates in New York, Declaring that “partles and can- didutes should be judged on their records and not on pre-election promises,” the Wisconsin senator continued: Best G, O. P. Can Do “The best fhiat the republican party, for example, cah offer with its present candidate, is four years more of misgovernment such as we have witnessed during the last four years,—the same control by power- ful private ' interests, the same cynical bestowal of special privi- leges on the favored few, the same shum_e_ru?bgtrnyal of the: public trust, bl 2 “By an extraordinary procedure adopted''at the beginning of Presi- dent Harding’s administration, the viee ent was made a mem- & jl1e " president’s’ cabinet, so { ber that he might not only be fully in- formed of evety policy and action, but so that he might also give his counsel and advice.

No Excuse at All “A man might have been blind, a man might have begn dumb, but 1f he still retalned his sense of hear- ing, he would have learned from trustworthy sources that the de- partment of justice was a fest of corruption, that the department of the: interior under Becretary Fall was bartering away the nation's re< sources and that almost every de- partment was honeycombed with corruption. It was heard in the corridors of the capitol, in commit- tee rooms, in banks and in business houses. There was no escape. It was everywhere. “I had no private sources of in- formation, when I exposed the cor- rupt leasing of Teapot Dome, and forced the senate by an unanimous voje to order an investigation. . I merely dared to charge openly what every member of the senate knew. I was able in that speech to reveal substantially every important fact regarding the corrupt leasing of the oil xeserves, except the corrupt con- sideration received by Fall from Doheny and Sinclair. I did not know that $100,000 in cash had been brought from New York to Wash- ington ,and delivered in a black bag to Albert B. Fall. But the other important facts including the great profits made by the insiders in the stock market, was laid be- fore the senate and the nation. There sat the vice-president within 50 feet of me as I spoke, hearing every word of an indictment that forced even the old guard of the senate to consent to an investiga- tion. . “Senator Wheeler had mo private sources of informatfon when I made his charges against Daughert and initiated the investigation tha drove him from office, He mére!: dared tell the world the truths. both republican and democrati senators knew as well as he did. “Knowing these ‘facts there w: only one way in which a membr of that administration elevated 1 the presidency could relieve himse! from full responsibility for its ever. act.
