POLITICS UP IN SENATE

tivity" Alleged.
From The Tribune Bureau.l

Washington, March 4.--The first effort 10
involve the Senate in the present politicai
campaign was made to-day by Senator
Bristow, who introduced a resolution direct
Ing the Committee on Post Offices and Post
Roads to investigate and report on the
alleged political activities Of postal In
spectors. particularly in the South.
The Senator, as a prelude to the intro
duction of the resolution, presented letter
from George r. Lewis, postmaster as Bes-
semer, Ala, in which the charges on which
the resolution were based were set forth.
This he asked the clerk to read, but as
soon as the character OF the document was
discovered objection by Senator Galltnger
was made. and Senator Brlstow was
obliged to read it himself.
Inquiries by Senator Clark. chairman Of
the judiciary Committee, brought forth the
reluctant admission from Senator Bristow
that he did not have and had not seen the
original Of the letter and did not know
whether the copy he had read was accurate
or not
Senator Dixon. campaign manager for
Colonel Roosevelt, who was close at hand,
whispered suggestions to Senator Bristow
generally assumed that the resolution is the
opening gun in the campaign which Sen
ator Dixon is to conduct in behalf OF Colo
mel Roosevelt and which, 1t is believed, VIII
be a particularly bitter one. The resolution
was referred to the Committee on Contin-
gent Expenses.

man Fl. Aldrich, recently appointed at Blr-
r,Inebam. and other federal officers with
rolitIcaI activity for President Taft. The
letter was 10 Inspector w. ]. Marles, re-
plying to the inspectors charge that Lewis
had been guilty Of political activity in De-
cember, 1910, and May, 1911. II is dated
February q
Lewis began his letter by saying that
NIarles had appeared IN Birmingham two
days after he Oews) had voted for reso-
lutions indorslng Colonel Roosevelt. Marles
arrived. ne said, at the time when po-
l.tical meeting was being held, and when
1T was a matter of public notoriety that
federal officeholders in the Southern states,
especially Alabama, are mass of seething
political activity"
He charged the Inspector with shutting
his eyes to the most flagrant examples OF
pernicious political activity in behalf OF
President Taft, while you direct the
searchllght OF your Investigations along
these lines only against a few postmasters
who have EXPRESSED a preference TO Roose-
yeIt"
