DEMOCRATIC PUBLICITY KEEPS UP ITS RECORD OF MISREPRESENTATION Uses False Charges as Excuse for At tack on Bascom Slemp, President Coolidge’s Secretary. Washington, Aug. 28. The Demo cratic mud battery were turned on President Coolidge before he had fair ly established himself in the office of President. The Democratic national committee’s publicity bureau merely maintains the record it thoroughly established during the two years it had made similar attacks upon Pre sident Harding and members of his official family. The attack upon President Coolidge was based upon his appointment of C. Bascom Slemp, of Virginia, to the position of his secretary. Mr. Slemp served 14 years in Congress from the Ninth Virginia district, the only Vir ginia district to elect a Republican member to Congress. He is a mem ber of the Republican national com mittee, representing the state of Vir ginia. In these two capacities he naturally was unpopular with a great many Democrats in Virginia. Last year there was a contested election case from the Seventh dis trict of Virginia. The Republican candidate was defeated on the face of the returns. He filled a contest based upon charges of fraud and cor ruption and the House committee hearing the case decided his charges vrere sustained and made a report re tommending the Democratic be un seated and the Republican be seated in his place. The evidence in the mat ter was so indisputable rfnd over whelming that the Democratic mem bers did not even file a minority re port. When the report was con sidered by the House, it voted 2 to 1 to accept the report and unseat the Democrat. In the course of a speech in his own defense, the Democratic congressman who was unseated made the charge that Congressman Slemp had been guilty of trafficking in postoffices in the state of Virginia. This charge was "dragged in, as Congressman Slemp haa nothing at all to do with the contested election in question, nor were any of the postofflces mentioned in the district where the contest was made. The charges of the Democratic con gressman were based upon a number of letters which he alleged had been written in the office of Congressman Slemp and which had been turned over to him. As to how these letters came into his possession and as to what he thought of the truth and veracity and character of the man who gave them to him, the following literal quotation from his speech shows: "I am going to read some letters. A man whom I do not know and for whom I do not vouch—I have not any idea who he is; he claims, as I under stood him, and I do not even vouch for that—he claims that he bought an oflice and it was given to somebody else because that somebody else had given more money for it, and he put the correspondence in my hands.” It is this correspondence which the Democratic national committee now sends out and upon which it launches a scurrilous attack upon President Coolidge for having appointed Mr. Slemp. In other words, the Demo cratic national committee bases a vic ipus insinuation against the Presi dent wholly upon a lot of letters which the man who introduced them in the record said he did not vouch for, nor did he vouch for the truth and character of the man who turned them over to him. It is difficult to see how political mendacity could go further. , At the time these charges were made on the floor of the House, Mr. Slemp issued a statement in which he denied that he had authorized any one to write letters to the character read, and he added: “If such were done, it was done without my approval, knowledge or consent in any way.” KEEP AMERICA OUT OF ENTANGLEMENTS WITH EUROPEAN POLITICS. Elliot Wadsworth, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, Returns from Europe With Good Advice. Washington, Aug. 28. Elliot Wads worth, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, conducted the negotiations in Europe relative to the settlement of money due the United States for maintenance of the army on the Rhine. While engaged in tymt work Mr. Wadsworth came in intimate con tract with the allied nations and had excellent opportunity for learning their viewpoint as well as ascertain ing the actual conditions in Europe. Upon his return to this country, Mr. Wadsworth delivered an address be fore the Harvard Alumni Association, in which he said in part as follows: “The settlement of reparations and guarantees is fundamental to the future of certain nations of Europe. Drastic steps are being taken to force the issue. Some far-i’eaching results must be obtained. Suppose that the United States through its official re presentatives had committed itself for or against the present action in the Ruhr; that stand could no fail to become a political issue in the next campaign. It would be an issue upon which the voters could not be fully informed, and yet the result of the voting would be of paramount im portance to the nations of Europe that would be affected. What nation with its interests at stake could resist the temptation of taking part in such a campaign? “That is one of the old arguments against the official presence of the United States in the political arena of Europe, and only to make it more definite do I cite the Ruhr as a typi cal example of the kind in question which would constantly be injected into our elections. “There are domestic problems fac ing us at home which are not too small to keep the best men that can be found for high government office amply occupied. Our national final cc-3, taxes, the prosperity of the far mer, industrial relations, railroads and shipping are a few of the many questions which press for construc tive settlement. We alone can solve them. We can ask no help from out side nor do we intend too. The vot ers must decide every so often into whose hands they will intruts the affairs of this nation. Whoever may be chosen should represent the choice of the people based upon home ques tions and not upon any theoretical action which may or may not be taken in Europe. “In many ways this is as critical a time for the United States as it is for any other nation. We may, as individuals, be deeply interested and engrossed in the spectacular happen ings of Europe. ■« I do not belittle our selfish interest in the result of those happenings, but I feel deeply that our action as American citizens should be controlled by what is best for the United States in the mana gement of its own affairs. “The United States today is a great and solvent nation. No such develop ment has ever occurred before in the world. No such democratic govern ment has ever existed. We are a great experiment and a very success ful one. We see great nations which for generations had been looked ujDon as stable beyond question struggling today in a crisis which may wreck their government, finance and indus try and turning to us for help. “Upon our own welfare will de pend the extent to which we may be of help. Upon the men whom we elect to office much of our wefare de pends. America needs not fear the accusation of the world that we are selfish and sef-seeking simpy because we devote the best thought and en ergy which is in us to our own pro blems and policies. The world needs the United States, needs us at our very best, strong in government, sound in finance and industry. The broad sympathy of the American peo ple together with an energetic, ever present desirti among American busi ness men to build up and not tea' down must give assurance that others will not suffer but will benefit as we achieve social advancement and pros perity. “By keeping ourselves free and un committed; by keeping strong; by handling our own business efficiently, we are in the long run conserving and building up a force which has and will prove of untold benefit in the re establishment of Europe.” JONATHAN PERRY HANCOCK.
