THE sENATE COMPLETES THE
PRELIMINARY STEPS.
The Resolution Directing That tho In
qulry Proceed Was Adopted
Without Division.

Washington, Junes21.-The last pre-.
liminary step looking to an investiga
ton Of the charges against Senator
Lorlmer Of Illinois has been taken by
the senate. The senate adopted a
resolution providing for an inquiry.
Senator Borah sought to have the
resolution so amended as to direct
that the inquiry proceed Immediately,
but his motion was voted down.
In presenting the amendment Mr..
Borah urged that expedition was nee
essary both In the interest Of Senator
Lorimer and the public, and he stated
that he believed such instruction nec-
essary because of past delays In such
cases. He said, however, that he in
tended no reflection on the committee
on privileges and elections, which will
have the investigation In hand.
Senator Burrows, who is chairman
of the committee, however, Interpreted
the amendment as q reflection and
promised there would be no occasion
for such direction as the amendment
implied.
The amendment was voted down
without division, and the resolution
agreed to by the same process.

A PUBL|C|TYLAW

Tho President Wants It Enacted
Before Adjournment.
MAY SEND SPECIAL MESSAGE
Mr.. Taft 10 Beginning to Look With
compIaIseney Upon Results 90
Far Obtained From Present
Congress.


significance not to be overlooked
President Taft let 1t be known tha
hO wants congress to pass before ad
journment the bill providing for public
Ity of campaign expenses in all cleo
lions for federal Offices. And though
the air is full of talk of adjournment
next Saturday, or even by Thursday
the president is in no mood to make
the immediate passage Of this law an
issue. 1t has already passed the
house.
Mr.. Taft has read tha>~news from
Pennsylvania, with particular bearing
on the price which John Dalzell and
Joe Sibley had to pay for their nomina-
tions for congress.
Pledged to this reform himself and
with burning sense Of shame that
Dalzell and Sibley are both Republi-
cans, the president is anxious before
the party goes into the next campaign
to be able 10 point to the enactment
Of a law that will curb this question In
election campaigns.
To all OF his callers the president
coupled with expressions Of his graft
flcation over the great results already
achieved by this congress his earnest
hope that the campaign publicity bill
will be taken up and disposed Of be-
fore the gavel falls on this session.
Indeed 1t was said that 1t is even
possible that the president will send
message to congress on the subject
within a day or two.
At no time since the beginning OF
his administration has the president
been in better humor and never since
the outbreak Of insurgency at the be-
ginning of the special session has such
a spirit Of harmony prevailed in the
party ranks. Folks wondered when
they saw Hayes of California, lead
ing insurgent, emerge from the presi-
dents room with John Dwight, whip
for the regulars, both Of whom drove
of together.
"As usual with the Republicans,
said a disgruntled Democrat "they
are getting together for the elections"
Little more than a month ago the
outlook was bleak for the enactment
Of any of the presidents pet measures.
Then the situation shifted, since which
line congressman have been faliinng
'ver themselves to give the president
That ne wants. In succession, postal
'aEinss, tine railroad bill statehood and
have gone through Doth
louses. Besides these the president
las been able to carry along the two
'attleship program and he has forced
rom congress an appropriation OF
25O,0OO to carry out the work OF the
ariff board on the broad lines which
10 himself laid down.
