M’ADOO SCORES ALL POLITICIANS

Declares Predictions of Prosperity by Both Parties Are All Bunk In Game to Get Into Office. Helena, Mont., Oct. 28.—Efforts of the administration at Washington to prevent certain fundamental questions, such as tariff from being battledore and shuttlecock of party politics, were discussed here today by Secretary of the Treasury William G. McAdoo, at a breakfast tendered him by state officials and citizens of Montana. “We are trying,” said Mr. McAdoo, «■ “to take certain fundamental questions out of politics so that they may not be party questions in the future as they have been in the past. Among tjiem is the tariff. “Politicianshave gone up and down the country,” he continued, “telling us that their particular party could bring prosperity. First it was the republicans, then the democrats. The politicians have been playing this game of see-saw to get offices, but their predictions and promises are all t>unk. We have not had any real prosperity in the United tates for years because our business outgrew the clumsy financial system which we have been talking about correcting for thirty years, but which we did not get to until President Wilson insisted on congress taking it up as soon as the tariff bill was out of the way.”
