WHAT IS A faint?
Question Arises as to Smudq-
ing Senatorial Togas.
PLEA IN STEPHENSON CASE
Littlefeld Argues That Corruption
in Primaries Does Not Invali-
date the Election.
PLEA IN STEPHENSON CASE

Corruption in Q senatorial primary alone
does not corrupt United States sena-
tors election, according to argument pre-
sented to the Senate committee on -privi-
leges and election today in behalf or
Senator Stephenson Of Wisconsin.
Former Representative Charles e. lat
tlefield OF Maine, as counsel for Senator
Stephenson, in connection with that
statement, however. denied that there
had been any corruption IN the Stephen
son primary. He held that corrupt In
f1uence by q senator or his responsible
agent, coupled with submission to 1t and
participa ton in it by members Of a legis-
lature, were necessary to faint SEN
ator's election with fraud.
Hearing Final Argument.
The committee was hearing final argu-
ment on the charges OF bribery and cor
ruption In connection with Senator Ste
phenson's election. A subcommittee had
already exonerated him.
weren't there several members Of the
legislature who said they voted for Sena-
tor Stephenson because OF the primary
vote?" asked Senator Lea
yes"
yet you say the Senate cannot investi-
gate the primary?"
Yes
Senator Oliver announced that if there
had been corruption in the primary he
wouldn't be influenced In his vote by the
legal proposition.
$50 you had bettef get down to some
thing else." concluded Senator Oliver.
Mr.. Littlefield suggested 1t would be
opening up g. big field II the Senate
created precedent of investigating sena-
torial primaries.
Primary Expenses Heavy.
Mr. Littlefield dwelt upon the great ex-
pense Of Senator Stephenson in organiz-
Ing for the primary.
what do you suppose they will do in
Wisconsin. now that Congress placed a
limit on primary expenditures?' asked
Senator Kenyon. somewhat sarcastically.
Without organization, Mr.. Littlef1eld
said, attendance at primary elections was
apt to be small.
The suggestion was made that sena-
torial primaries In Kentucky and Cali
fornia were not so expensive.
Possibly they have not been SO thor
oughly investigated" remarked Senator
Oliver
After Mr.. Littlefelds argument the
committee held an executive session, at
which it was decided to postpone con-
sideration Of the matter for one week.

Philadelphia, Pa. July "A grand
festival concert participated in by the
thousands of members Of societies con-
stituting the Northwestern Saenger-
bund. with president and Mrs. Taft as
the guests of honor, was the crown
ing event of yesterdays program OF
the 2Sd saengerfest When the preS1-
dent and Mrs Taft reached Broad
street station al o'clock they were
greeted by a German song Of welcome,
sung by a large chorus As the presi-
dent and his wife entered the audito-
voices sang the Star SpanSled Banner
while the immense audience remained
standing
In addressing the saengerbund, presi-
dent Taft said IN part
The pursuit OF art Dy the many. with
the unit of the family, under conditions
IL which good comradeship IS made the
chief incident, is a custom that we
have borrowed and this liberaliZing and
broadening Of our family and social
pleasure are due TO the influence OF
those of our citizens who continue and
maintain in this country the delightful
customs of their fatherland- There are
PhiIlistines who hold lightly the prac-
tice of many arts with which they are
not familiar and do not realize that the
cultivation of each branch of art only
widens the opportunities for the en-
jCyment of life
Il therefore thank our fellow citi-
zens who have labored hard and sue
German customs and I wish to express
our gratitude as an American for our
debt, on this account, 10 German civ
