Washington. d. c.. Dee. 5.-Senator

who is a close observer of senate al
fairs. in an interview TODAY says:
Il do not believe it viii be possible
to muster a twO-thirds vote TO expcl
Smoot, and putting MIN out any other
way would be irregular The question
mas been asked: Suppose the senate
passes a resolution declaring SmOot' 5
seat vacant by a majority vote, what
redress would he have? Could he ap-
peal to the supreme court? Apparently
not, for the supreme court could not
mandamus the senate. or any other &C
ordinate branch Of the government. 1t
would be a curious situation. He might
bring suit ard recover his pay for the
balance of his term and yet be unable
To occupy his seat. If the senate
should, by a mai rity vote. PASS a re-
solution declaring Senator Shoots seat
vacant it would be establishing a very
dangerous precedent. There would be
nothing to prevent the majority unseat-
ing any number OF senators whenever
fsncied exigencies might arise.
II has been decided by the supporters
of Smoot that they viii make no
speeches in his behalf until after the
holidays SmOOt himself Will speak, but
he will not so deeply into the testimo-
ny, but will give the senate a nresenta-
ton from his point of view of the actual
