' . ■£ The Kentuckian jiunchc'd and jablied unceasingly at his Republican foes— calling the Harding administration the “darkest chapU-r of public betrayal in the history of this or any other na tion,” heaping blame on President <'(H)lidge and Secretary Mellon for an “orgy of speculation and inflation :hat had no foundation in real values.” "Whatever may Ije the divergent views of men and women on the mer its or demerits of the eighteenth amendment a.s a national policy, it is inconceivable that this or any other; part of the constitution of the United! States should apply to only a part' and not the whole of the American nation.
