DAVIS JUMPS ON
HARRY DAUGHERTY
WITH BOTH FEET
Says Real Enemies of Con
stitution Are Corrupt
Officials.
■I
NO VEILED ALLUSIONS
• New York, Sept. 24,—(By the As
sociated Press.)—Having served no
tice that there is to be no obscuring
of the issue that the American peo
ple shall be aroused to condemn and
not .to condone the betrayal of of
ficial trust, John W. Davis prepar
ed today to return to the stump,
determined to hit out harder than
ever against “corruption in the gov
ernment. >y
The real enemies of the constitu
v
tion are not the reds and Bolshe
vists, but “corrupt and impotent
public officials and their associates, M
Davis declared yesterday in a let
ter written to Harry M. Daugherty
in reply to one sent to him recently
by. the former attorney general.
Expressing the belief that the
real work of this campaign is the
arousing \>f the moral sense of the
American people, “to condemn and
not condone the betrayal of official
trusty Mr. Davis wrote Mr. Daugh
erty that “this issue cannot be ob
scured by your forced effort to rep
resent the real contest of this cam
paign as one between the defend
ers of the constitution and those
who seek to over throw it under
leaders fresh from a baptism of
Bolshevism in lurid and suffering
Russia. »>
“If the con stitution is to ^endure, it
x* ded, “the first requisite
Is that men who hold office under
it shall be honest and faithful to
their trust. ty
Denying Mr. Daugherty’s state
ment that his allusions to the form
er attorney general during the cam
paign had been quite veiled, Mr.
Davis said they had been both di
rect and specific. He added that he
found no warrant whatever for
withdrawing any single one of
them.
