THE CLARK CASE on.

Bribery Chaegsa.


WASHINGTON. Jan. C.-The senate
committee on privileges and elections
began its investigation OF charges OF
bribery made in connection with the
election Of Senator Clark Of Montana.
The proceedings were begun by argu-
ments from counsel Oh both sides. Mr.
Clark himself WAS present with his
counsel. Former Senator Faulkner Of
West Virginia. Senator Edmunds ap-
peared rs leading counsel for the COM
plainants. making the first statement
in support Of the memorial presented
against Mr.. Clark. He said the com.
plainants expected to be able to prove
all tho charges made and TO show tha;
Mr.. Clarks election was obtained by
the liberal use Of money. and that large
sums Of money were furnished to this
end 10y Clark. He believed that the
expenditure could be traced to Mr..
Clark with due effort on the part Of the
committee. He said he and his asso.
ciates would ask TO have q good many
witnesses summoned.
Mr.. Edmunds also said that the com
plainants expected TO prove al the
charges made. aud in doing so would
enter quite thoroughly into the White
side libel case, showing that when Sen.
a,or Clark had an opportunity TO appear
in cour, he had refused to answer any
material questions.
Ex-senator Faulkner made the formal
statement on behalf Of Mr.. Clark. He
reviewed the politics Of Montana, re-
ferring to the "Daly gang and the
Clark faction" in the Democratic poll
tics of the state. 1t was. he said, an
acknowledged fact that opponents OF
Mr.. Clark in the state had determined
to prevent his political preferment re-
gardless Of all the proprieties. Ii
would be shown that notwithstanding
that charges were made Of bribery
against some 80 persons. includi ng -
mem bers Of the Legislature, there had
been no proceedings against any Of the
men thus involved in any Of the Mon.
tana courts. This was evidence tina,
the present proceeding WAS uot sus
tanned by public sentiment.
