BRIBERY IS limited
Election of West Virginia Sen
ators Challenged.
PETITION FILED IN SENATE
Paper Demanding Inquiry Is Signed
by Governor of the State
and Others.

A demand for an investigation of the
election of Senators William E. Chiffon
and Clarence w. Watson Of West Virginia
was made today in a petition signed by
Gov. Glasscock and others. and presented
the presiding officer.
The petition called attention to charges
of bribery publicly made in reference to
the election Of the West Virginia sena-
tors. which charge the West Virginia
legislature had failed to investigate.
A request for the reading of the petition
was made by Senator Penrose before its
contents We're known. After the charges
contained in the document had been par
TALLY read, Senators Bailey and Bacon
objected to the printing of such allega-
tions in the public records of the Senate
before they had been investigated by the
committee on privileges and elections.
Substance of Petition.
The petition contained records OF
newspaper charges and Of converse
tions, to indicate that there had been
bribery Of legislators in behalf of the
West Virginia senators, but that the
charges had never been investigated
Senator'S Bacon and Bailey charged
that while the election took place
nearly two years ago and the charges
had been made about that time, Gov
Glasscock and his associates had re-
Trained from sending the petition to
the United States Senate until the last
day Of it's session.
On the motion of Senator McCumber
all that portion of the petition that had
been read was "expunged from the Rec
ord,' and the entire document referred
to the committee on privileges and cleo
tions, which conducted the Lorimer and
Stephenson investigation. Senator Dill
lingham, chairman of that committee, is
not now in Washington.
This is a slanderOus attack. made
solely for political purposes" said Sen
ator Martin of Virginia. This paper
is sent in here for undertaking campaign
purposes, and I object to it's being
spread on the Senate records"
There was additional criticism by Sen
a atorS Fletcher and Bacon.

After it's first passage the bill was vetoed

faith and the bill later introduced inn
posed the charge against the general rec
lamation fund and President Taft af11x-

ing.
Mr. and Mrs. Macdonald conducted a
store on the Shoshone project and ac-
cepted the time slips Of the working
men for the neccessaries of life. when
the firm failed the government took
charge of the work and the only pos,
sfbility Of their relief lay In an appeal
to Congress, which has just been con-
cluded with the passage Of the bill. Mrs.
Macdonald worked indefatigiably, 1t Is
declared, to interest members of Congress
in the bill.
