Ths consids ration ~ Bur one c1-" was
based on a resolution proposed 10y senator
Hale on Tucsdn Y. directing tho COMMITTEES
on ges and Elections ia report upon
the enect of tho supreme Courts deci-ion
on Bur'on's status a. n senator living 70
the fact that hyp members of the
wer absent II was determined 10 take no
action on this resolution until the next
meeting of the committee, which viii he
held ono week from to-day In the mean
time. according 10 the understanding
reached. Burton will be informed that u
he does not resign before that meeting
a resolution for his expulsion will be re-
ported. Inc adoption Of such q resolu-
ton IL certain.
Burton's attitude has disguised many
Senators They believe that he il endea vor-
ing 70 retain his seat in order to get his
salary as a Senator. Should the Senate
fail to expel him before adjournment
he would receive enough salary by the time
Congress reassembled and was able to
take that action to pay the fine OF $500
which was imposed az part of his punish
ment. Senators are determined to prevent
any condition of that sort.
There is no question OF craftsmanship
involved in Burton's case. Republican SEN
ators are just a. insistent that he shall be
forced to ~relinquish the toga az their Demo-
cratic associates are. 1t is realized, how
ever, that should the Committee on Privi-
leges and Elections fail to take prompt
measures to bring about Burton's expulsion.
in the event that he refuses to resign, Demo-
cratic Senators will bring the matter directly
before the Senate. and they will find plenty
OF Republicans to help them adopt a resolu-
ton Of expulsion,
1t came out at the meeting Of the COM
mittee to-day that President Roosevelt had
declared that Burton must get out OF the
Senate or be expelled, and that he wanted
the committee to take action at once.
