Show GIVE WALSH CREDIT If Tom Walsh, of Montana, keeps on he will be president presi-dent yet. The biggest stir the nation has had since the Teapot Dome scandal was first uncovered to the public gaze, happened last week when Walsh and his committee made Bill Hays, former postmaster general under Harding, and former chairman of the republican party, admit in substance sub-stance that he was a liar, and perhaps a crook. Hays admits ad-mits receiving some $160,000 from Harry Sinclair, one of the oil magnate crooks who bribed Fall and Daughterty and it now seems a goodly portion of the Harding crowd. Andy Mellon was also put on the stand and grilled. He admitted he knew that Sinclair had given Hays the money, but forgot to tell about it. Mellon also admitted having $50,000 of Sinclair's bonds, given him by Hays, but says he gave them all back to Hays. Then Bill Butler, national chairman of the republican party, took the stand to admit that the republican re-publican party got funds for its campaign from Sinclair, but he did not know anything about it personally, or something some-thing like that. Tom Walsh has already smeared five of the ITarding cabinet with the oil graft, and now he is smearing the national committee of the republican party with the same brush, and doing it with their own involuntary admissions. admis-sions. The democrats, could do a lot worse at Houston than nominate Walsh of Montana. He is dry, western, and honest. hon-est. That's something. |
