‘SMASH SYSTEM’
HIRAM’S PLEA TO
VOTERS OF U. S.
Senator Charges Ousting of
Daugherty Based on “Po
litical Expediency”
BY CHARLE8 N. WHEELER,
Universal Service Correspondent.
Chicago, March 30.—Charging that
the ousting of Attorney General
Daugherty was based on “political
expediency" and that President Cool
ldge will drag the republican party
down to defeat if he is nominated,
Senator Hiram Johnson, in Chicago
Sunday night, let go a double barrel
ed blast at the national administra
tion leaders.
"Mere breaking a single Individual,
sending a few men to Jail where they
belong, will not do what Is requisite,"
he said. “Behind the individuals
and the whole sordid mess is tha
•system,’ the old unholy alliance of
crooked big business and crooked
politics.
“It la this system, this alllanea, we
must smash. None can doubt what
candidacy the system and alliance
espouse. I am endeavoring. In the
republican primary, to smash the
one and defeat the other."
Just Begun to Fight
Fresh from hla last tour through
central Illinois, with all his fighting
clothes on and hla fists doubled np.
Senator Johnson told his Illinois
chiefs that he had Just begun to
fight, that his trip through the Da
kotas and Nebraska had convinced
hlin beyond the per adventure of a
doubt that the republican party will
be sunk beneath an av&lanehs of
votes if the president Is nominated
and that In his judgment the politl
eal tide is now flowing rapidly away
from the White House.
The senator predicted he would
sweep Illinois In the preferential pri
maries one week from Tuesday. But,
he added, regardless of what the pri
mary states may do In the next few
days, he is more firmly set than ever
for a finish fight against the ”»n
holy alliance” at Washington.
Elated by Dakota Victory
He left Sudnay night for a four
thly whirlwind swing across Michi
gan where the primaries will ba held
one week from Monday.
TAe senator was highly elated ever
the South Dakota result, although
(the margin was not very great. He
told the newspaper men that In all
his political campaigning he never
encountered such an avalanehe of
money and pressure from Job holders
as In South Dakota. Kven to the
most Insignificant cross roads poot
mnster, he said, the screws were ap
plied. Civil service was a by-word,
lie alleged.
“I have no Illusions.’’ the aoaator
added, after recounting his experi
ences with the “steam roller'’ Mid
the gumbo roads. “I know what a
terrific giant I am attacking. But so
long as 1 have the strength I shod
not desist In ray fight on this un
holy inVialble government and to tha
end that both country and party may
be saved.”
Text of Statement
The senator’s formal statement fal
lows:
“The manner of the diamlae*! of
Daugherty demonstrates that the ad
ministration Is actuated in the pres
ent crisis, cot by a desire to eleaa
up the nasty mesa at Washington, but
wholly by political expediency.
“Daugherty la declared, in affect,
by the provident to be free from taint,
and obviously hla dismissal waa a
yielding to pressure dictated by poli
tics. Denby’s resignation was of like
character.
“If these men had done no wrong,
if the president did not believe in
‘lynching.’ if, as he once asserted,
they were entitled to trial and de
fense, then their dismissal, under the
circumstances, was unjust and un
fair.
“Many of us believed the situa
tion otherwise, but the president’s
position was at variance with ours,
and now political expediency rules.
“There can be no honest clean up,
no triumph of right or justification
of principles upon the sole theory of
the senatorial advisers jof the presi
dent, now accepted by him. of politi
cal expediency.
Voters Revere* Politicians
“Contributing to the result was the
South Dakota primary. Here iu the
proposal convention, ruled by politi
cians, Mr. Coolldge was overwhelm
ingly successful. For three months
the Interest press had boasted of Mr.
Coolidge’s strength and how he would
easily win.
“The contest was the first clean
cut fight. Hired oratora, national
figures, a cabinet officer, postofflee
inspectors. Indian agents, were im
ported into the state; full page ad
vertisements, all the machinery or
the government, was utilised with
unlimited sums of money.
“But while politicians Controlled a
convention by two to one for Mr.
Coolldge, people decisively defeated
bint.
"Immediately thereafter Mr. Cool
ldge’s mind changed iri regard to Mr.
Daugherty.
