Governors Appointments

No report has as yet been received from the senate general judiciary committee relative to three appointments recently submitted to the senate by Governor Smith The committee has had the ap- nointments in it's possession for three days now. and has given no indication as to when it proposes to make a report
 When the appointments are reported on it is stated they are going to provoke one of the most active fights that has been seen in legislative halls this season.
 "Governor Smith has exercised some very neat political caution in sending to the senate the names of appointees sup ported by members of the senate who are opposed to confirmation of his appoint the executive office" said member of the senate today, but they cannot be won over in that way. In fact, I have it direct from them that they are going to stick by the senate resolution. I may be mistaken, but I don't think you will see the confirma ton of any more of the governors appointees by this senate un- less the cases are exceptional ones.'
 The governors tenure of his present of- fee is an uncertain one, as he may leave if at any time to go to Washington Sem ators. therefore, take the view, under the terms of their resolution that they cannot confirm any of his appointments, even for terms beginning within the next few weeks, until they know definitely what he is going to do.
 The matter will probably come up in the senate next week. when there VIII De m interesting test of strength.

PUBLICITY BILL
 IS INSUFFICIENT Reed Explains Why He Ad- ded Clause to Campaign
 Publicity Bill

washingon, July 22-(speciai )-senator Reed of Missouri does not believe the Fucker campaign publicity bill now be- fore the House with the Senate amend ments, goes far enough. He would make the purchasing of a seat in Congress by ], any sort of hook or crook felony.
 "I head this," he said last night That 5 if every political committee had to expose to the public the source and dispcstiona of it's contributions to the last dollar it would have three good effects: First, it would make committeeman careful not to I go to bad sources for contributions and would deter them, in effect, from selling | 1heir candidates for money to carry their l elections. Money given to elect a man
 may be as real a bribe and may as com l pletely control his vote as money paid | for his vote after he is elected. This
 does not follow, but it often happens. 1 "Second. a disclosure of the names oe 1 those who received the money tends to l force the proper and deter the im- 1 proper use of money. It also has ten l tlency to limit the use of money. One may use money, but he does not like to have 1 it pushed.
 Third, publicity of the use of large sums of money tends to arouse public sentiment feelingly against the candidates who uses large sums and creates sympathy for the man of limited means.
 "The Rucker bill so far as it provides
 for publicity is all right. and it had my
 support and not by opposition. But. as I
 said In the Senate, we are confronted, by
 ttis condition: While the rulings in Con-
 gress have been that if man be con-
 vcted of actually buying votes and other corrupt practices the House or Senate is warranted in unseating him, still no provision in the bill and no precedent makes the of money. vast sums of money in itself sufficient to bar one from a seat In Congress. notwithstanding the fact that the use of great sums of money may have the effect of sowing seeds Of corruption broadcast in a community. B What I desire Is to have the law so f: amed as was done in Adams county, Ohio, that if a man spends more than permitted by the law he is guilty of a violation of the statute. and on these grounds can be expelled from Congress.
 'I put that provision in my amendment, but could not obtain roll call on 1t, and withdrew 1t. and added a clause to prohibit more than certain amount"
