BOTH REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC
PARTY: ALIKE IN EVILS-La FOLLETTE
The Progressive Candidate
Flays Both Cootidge and
Davis as Representative
of Their Parties Says
Gigantic Wave of Demo
cracy Is Sweeping World
' ' New "ork, -toft M. Senator
Robert M. t Foliette in Madison
Square Garden lMt night, told the
first audience he hat addressed since
announcing hii candidacy for presi
dent that be .did not intend "to be
diverted from .the discussion of the
vital econonjto Issue,- of .the cam
paign by the fooiUh and preposter
ous assertion of i our opponent
that in aonte way we a progreslvs
desire to weaken or impair the
provision of the constitution of the
United States relating to the fed
oral court."
He made thl declaration after as
sailing the policies and the candi
dates of the republican and demo
cratic parties, which he asserted
are "as alike a two peas in a pod,"
tiVd continued , ;
To Keep to Records
"I propose to keep in the fore
ground of, -the discussion through
out this campaign the record, of the
old parties In recent years, and the
policies inaugurated by them under
which the railways 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 and the farmers have been
driven into bankruptcy by the
hundreds of thousands and the lost
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 sucrT result as these.
I do not intend that they shall avoid
these issues."
I. . I I
Senator La Follette discussed the
record of the Hardlng-Coolldge ad
ministration, the acts of which, he
contended, "must be Judged as a
whole," and-declared that President
Cooiidge "knew every act and policy,
of the last administration because
he was a participant in their for
mulation." He referred to John
W. Davis as a "certain distinguished
lawyer now 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 "parties and can
didates should be Judged on their
records and not on pre-election
promises," the . Wisconsin senator
continued: ' , ' '
Best G. O. P. Can Do
- 'The Test: that the republican
party, for example, can offer with
its present candidate, is four years
more of mlsgovernmeot 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
shameful? betrayal of the- public
trust. C.Lj '
"By an extraordinary procedure
adopted at the beginning of Presi
dent Harding's administration, the
vice Ausidf nt .was made a mem
ber ojth' president's', cabinet, so
that he might not only be fully in
formed of every policy and action,
but so that he might also give his
counsel and advice. He sat with
the cabinet while It discussed, ac
cording to the testimony of those
who were present, the transfer of
Teapot Dome and the other naval
oil reserves from the navy depart
ment to the Interior department, so
that the corrupt lease of those
great properties might bo made.
He knew every act and every policy
of the last administration because
he was a participant in their for
mulation. .
"But even if the then vice-president
had not as a member of the
cabinet participated In the making
of policies, It would have made
little difference. All that was neces
sary In. Washington during the last
four years was the possession: ot
fairly good bearing to gain . the
knowledge that a monstrous orgy of
corruption was taking place.
No Excuse at All
"A man might have been blind,
a man might have been dumb, but
if he still retained his sense of hear
ing, he would have learned from
trustworthy sources that the de
partment of Justice was a nest of
corruption, that the department of
the- interior under Secretary Kail
was bartering away the nation's re
source and that almost every de
partment was honeycombed with
corruption. It was heard in the
corridors of the capitol, in commit
tee rooms, n 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
vojw 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 lescrves, except the corrupt con
sideration received by fall from
Doheny and Sinclair. I did not
know that 1100,000 in cash had been
brought from New Tork 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
SO feet of me a 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 .no privati
sources of . information when h
made his charges against Daughert:
and initiated the investigation tlu.
drove him from office. He'mere;:
dared tell the world the truth, thr
both republican and democratic
senators knew as well as he did,
"Knowing these 'facts there wr
only one way .in which a memb'
of that administration elevated t
the presidency could relieve hlmsel
from full responsibility for its ever;
act. That was by cleaning hous
as soon as the power came Into hit
hands.
"Was that done? It was not.
On the contrary every member of
the cabinet was kept In office end

".' ON THE FARMINGTON AVENUE LINE
ex-Secretary Fall, then known to be
in the employ of Sinclair, was re
ceived at the White House by the
present republican candidate, when
he cape to Washington to give hi
perjured testimony. Even after
the evidence of fraud and corrup
tion became overwhelming, Denby
was retained In the cabinet, Daugh
erty was retained In the cabinet,
and they were allowed to resign,
under pressure from the public and
from more thin-skinned leaders of
the party, with expressions from the
White House of high esteem and
confidence in their integrity.
Another Big Reason
"But there is another reason, far
more powerful, why the acts of the
last administration must be regarded
as a whole, free from all question
of personality. That reason is that
the policies, appointments and
actions of that administration,, dur
ing its last year, as during its first
three, were dictated fSot by the in
dividuals who happened to occupy
the White House, but by the forces
that control them and dominate the
republican, as well as the demo
cratic party.. The presidents were
merely (ho servants of the system.
"In proof of this I cite the fact-
that the Tecord of the Taft ad
ministration and the record of the
Hardmg-Coolldge administration are
exactly the same, except for the
larger scale and more complete
corruption that marked the last
four years.
"Let me remind you briefly of the
Paync-Aldrlch tariff and Its coun
terpart, the Fordney-McCumber
tariff, of the corrupt elections of
Lorimer and Newberry, and of the
looting of the public domain, under
Bellinger and Fall.
"These things occurred, not be
cause the presidents who occupied
the White House were bad men.
They were not, so far as personal
honesty and domestic virtues are
concerned. They happened be
cause they were weak men under
the control ot a soulless system that
knows nothing of honesty, integrity,
or civic righteousness where lis
selfish Interests are concerned.
"The Taft administration had no
Daugherty, no Forbes, and no such
tariff record as this one will reveal
when Its story is fully told, and yet
Taft was so completely repudiated
by the American people that he was
able to carry only Vermont and
Utah two small rock-ribbed states.
"The republican party is now
