interested in pending legislation.

be some objection to any pointing out
Of ex-senators and Mr.. Allen asked what

tol grounds with a view to lobbying on
pending measures. II was at time
when the pooling bin and other measures
were bringing lobbyists from all parts
Of the country. Why not make it
crime, covering all lobbyists, he asked
Mr.. Hale explained that he was not
seeking any such dramatic measure.
Mr.. Allen again asserted that lobbyists
crowded the corridors and galleries like
crowds in the trees.
The proposed amendment went over.
