In a formal statement he bitterly denounced the Republican adminis tration and said that although the President and his cabinet had known of the circumstances of the leases they had remained quiet until Demo cratic leaders forced the scandal in to the open. “The multiplication of scandals since the Republicans came into pow er, with the Teapot Dome lease stand ing out as the greatest political scan dal in this or any other generation, has created an additional issue which is of paramount importance to every citizen, regardless of political affili ations,” he said. “The*issue blunt ly stated is^ ' ir , ■ “SKaH tReT UrTited States.have cor?, fupt government or * clean gove ment. “When this administration came in to power it was dominated by the most reactionary element ever known in the history of a political party, which Was in leage with the most sel fish and predacious financial and in dustrial special interests ever group ed together for public plunder and national exploitation. This administration came in under the shadow of the Newberry and Daughtery scandal. Others followed in quick succession including the Bu reau of Engraving scandal, the Gold stein scandal, the Veterans’ Bureau scandal, the sugar profiteering scan dal, the naval oil reserve scandal (in cluding Teapot Dome), the Reclam- mation Service scandal, Income Tax Bureau scandal, the Slemp scandal, the packers and stockyard scandal, the Tolbert scandal, and a long list of others less known, withone now brewing in the Tariff Commission, where three commissioners are, or ought to be disqualified from acting by reason of their present or past affiliation with interests affected by their decision. “No one connected with the ad ministration scandals has been pun ished by the administration. The Department of Justice, which a United States Senator alleges to be under wide suspicion has made no move to protect or defend the public interests, so far as they were affected or threatened by these scandals. “During most of this administra tion Mr. Coolidge was vice-president and sat as an unofficial member of the cabinet.

At night I couldn’t rest well on account of the r uns through my kidneys and when got up mornings my back was stiff and sore, and I felt as tired as though I hadn’t had a bit of rest. I was finally convinced it was my kid neys that caused the trouble. They acted too freely. A friend advised me to try Doan’s Pills and I got some.
