clured that "Hie conHplrucy" to get i

was not formed iu I'lilciiKo dnrinK
the t-eimlilicaii convention of VJ-H, j
"but In Hie city or iiHliinKton dur
ing the democratic administration
ot President Wilson."
"It was participated in." he said,
"by high officiuls of that adminis
tration, and aided and abetted by
still other democrats of hih stand
ins. "The record tdiojvs that the
wholesale InfluencinK of federal of
ficials, i including cabinet officers
and their important assistants, by

KeviewliiK what he described as
. . some of the sullent facts regarding
oil leases, ItohinBon first centered
bis attack on Josephus Daniels, na
val secretary In the Wilson cabi
net. He claimed it wad known that j
"when the oil scandal first broke
Secretary Danleis, along with oth-1
ers of the former Wilson cabinet
were running for cover and issuing i
futile denials of complicity in leas-1
ins the oil reserves of the United j
States." I
The Indlananan said that no
sooner had President Wilson ap
proved the leasing act ot February
25, 1920, than Daniels suggested to
congress that the law be amended j
"so as to give mm ansouue power
to be used ot his discretion over
all naval oil reserves existing then
or which should be crated later.
"No one can claim that this
proposition was in the interest of
conserving the oil that was in the
ground." Robinson shouted.
"No sooner was the amendment
which he wrote, and which the
democratic senators In this body
supported, operative than he begun
: to permit the navy oil I to . be . taken
'out of reserves by private oil cor-
porotlons
He did this without advertising
for or permitting competitive bids.
He did it merely by holding con
ferences. Asserting that Daniels hod given
leases for 55 wells to the Hoston
Faciflc Oil company and the Con
solidated Mutual Oil company in
reserve No. 2 in California, Robin
son declared that if this were de
fensible, Daniels should have ad
mitted his course and defended it
"instead of assuming the role of
injured honor and righteous indig
nation and proclaiming that lie had
fought every propsitlon to permit
the oil in the naval reserves to be
taken out by anybody.
"So far as the official records
show," Robinson continued, "Frank
lin K. l.nnc, secretary of the inte
rior in the democratic administra
tion, was opposed to the naval oil
reserve lands to private interests i
to be exploited by them. j
"Tim record showes that August ;

namely, Secretory of the Navy Dan- j

that an offset territory ought to be ,

the form of a letter.
"The ate Senator IjiFollette

be authorized to use 500 deputy
marshals In Chicago that day.
The additional officers would have
to be specially deputized and An
derson asked that he be given
that authority.
The bid for federal action was
generally construed as a reply
from the Senator Deneen faction

I of Mayor Thompson, and State's

group has been equally Insistent
that Deneen followers themselves
tossi'd the bombs to arouse ln-
l te-rest In the Ueneen campaign.
Mayor Thompson s comment '-on
the report that federal officials
had interested themselves in the
election, brought this statement:
"Charles S. Deneen was state's
I attorney and made himself gov
ernor by the indictment roiiM).
In my opii ion, the people under

word to our headquarters that If
we would not mark our ballots

"We sent word back to him.

Senator Deneen was to reach
Chicago today from Washington

I campaign. Thus far he has been
1 inactive personally in the Chicago
situation.

Mr. Pierce, In Long Letter,
Asks Mr. West Where He
Stands On Issues Other
Than Prohibition Merger
Campaign Hits Dryness
of Coolidge Is Attacked.
PORTLAND, Ore.. Mar. 29. (P)
Walter M. Pierce, former governor
lit A letter today replied to Oswald
West, former governor, who had
asked Pierce whether reports cir
culating In private beer circles,"
thut Pierce favored Governor Al
fred K. Smith of New York for the
democratic presidential nomination
were correct.
Pierce said he was for Senator
Thomas J. Walsh of Montana. He
launched Into a personal attack on
West, asking him "is it not a fact
that you are a lobbyist for special
interests?"
Pierce also outlined his own
political principles:
"World peace, universal law en
forcement, electric power control,
party regeneration and farm relief.
"I wonder by what authority
you assume, to speak for the dem
ocrats of Oregon?" Pierce wrote.
"If my memory serves me' cor
rectly, you advocated Herbert
Hoover eight years ago for the
presidency.
"Many wonder today where you
stand on Issues besides prohibition.
For Instance, power control. You
are today advocating a merger of
the electric companies In Portland.
A few yearn ago you advocated a
merger of the telephone companies
which resulted in greatly increased
rates. . . .
"Is It not a fact that you are a
lobbyist for . the special interests
and uppeared at every recent ses
sion of the Oregon legislature In
their behalf.
"Is it not a fact that you op
posed and hampered my adminis
tration in every way possible after
I refused to allow the state to
guarantee the Interest upon Irriga
tion bonds In districts In central
Oregon In which you were person
ally Interested? - -
"Is It not true that special in
terests in one guise or another are
more potent in securing legislation
at Halum thun the political parties
under whose banner the politicians
arc elected to Office?
"And, Is It not also true that
you, a former governor of this
state, are today the outspoken
champion of those special inter
ests? "Many people wonder today
what can be your real reason for
attempting to create a breach In
the democratic ranks.
"I am a dry democrat and be
lieve with all of my soul in the
principles of government us enun
ciated by Jefferson, Jackson,
Uryan and Wilson.
"From an ungle of vision I can
see five great issues before the
American people.
"First, the greatest of American
Interests Is world peace. Shall we
have international peuce, or are
we going to allow selfish Interests
to embroil uo In another great
world war which may result in the
downfall of our present marvelous
civilization. We may not be forced
to become a militaristic nation.
"Second, Universal law enforce
ment including prohibition, educa
tion of the masses to the value of
prohibition, no suspension of our
efforts to enforce the law while
temperance education, In the
home, school and church Is being
pushed to the uttermost.
"Third, electric power control In
the Interests of the people and not
in the Interest of a few business
and political manipulators for the
multl-mllllonatres.
"Fourth, political party regen
eration. Everyone can easily see
that this experimental form of
government of ours Is In serious
danger unless this era of political
corruption is speedily ended. Prin
ciples must be our rallying point
and not necessarily men or party.
Corruption follows In the wske of
plutocracy which controls party
government. - i (
"Fifth, farm relief which Is
necesMary to save the present farm
9pulatlon front sinking to peas
antry. "For eight years we have had In
the White Houho an administration
that professed to be dry, still both
presidents have kept at the bend
of the prohibition department un
ex-dlstiller of whiskey nnd the
largest owner of whhdtey In the
United States today. He has made
no honest effort to enforce the
prohibition law.
"I believe It Is the duty of every
drmoernt to come to the primaries
