Thin l H Statement of Senator

And Hoover
NASHVILLE. Sept, ft--GP) - Presid
ent < toolidge and the late president
Harding were accused tonight ’by
Senator Jets T. Robluaon with “having
fulled to 'display thut decision of
character necessary for elimination of
crooks and tn competencence from
, their advisers."
He prefaced this statement with »
dvlcaratliHi that he’ made n<> attack
On thT-Ttereoual character of either,
and that the point he sought to drlva
home was that "there leadership baa
not been notable to that degree that
the memory of Mr. Harding could b«
glorified or that President CoolUigo
should be credited because of g/eat
political triumph in either foreign
or dntnestlQ affairs
«
“Had president Harding had one
half the knowledge of men tliut Al
Smith has shown" the Democratic vice
presidential said “he would
never have Mr. Daugherty at
torney general or*Slr. Dcnby secret
ary of the navy or Mr. Korbes direc
tor of the veterans bureau. '
“Had president Coolidge realised
when sworn Into succeed President
Harding that he must accept respon
sibility for his choice of mlrTscrs, ho
would never have retained Fait, Denby
and Daugherty nor would he have
cougtit to white wash them when putP
He opinion forced their retirement to
private life."
