The administration has assumed an at

said in official circles that 1t was sup

form this country of any plan to send
warships. but that such notification had

and Thompson fayed Sulzer unmerci-
fully for accepting Wall Street contribu-
tions.
Senator Palmer: The very fact that
Governor Sulzer, as shown in the tesu-
mony here, collected money from many
sources becomes TO me a matter of taste
rather than a matter of morals. II Is not
an immoral thing for a man to give me
money. If ne gives it thinking ] Will

guilty Of an immoral act, but he seems
to have done the one thing that makes 1t
moral. He kept 1t. he sailed It away and
he has II now. II he spent 1t for buying
a horse and buggy or buying a thousand

Brown Takes Other Side.

Senator Brown expressed the argu.
ments on the other side as follows:
This article is sustained by the uncon-
tradicted testimony of Morgentnau and
Peck that he asked them not to tell the
truth about the contributions they had
made to him. This substantial proof OF
the broad allegation cannot be obliterated
because IT justifes q much more serious
charge or charges--to wit, tho subornation
OF perjury and the use Of threat TO pre-
vent the giving of testimony.
Il am unable to concur with those MEM
bers OF this court who are OF the opinion
that the Governor committed the offences
before he became Governor alleged In
the articles of impeachment, but are un-
able to vote for impeachment, because
acts committed before taking Office are
not within the purview OF the constitu-
ton; who are OF the opinion that the Gov
ernor, in committing the acts testified 10
by Morgenthau. Peck and Ryan. com
mittcd Improbable offences In Office for
which ne should be removed from Office.
but cannot vote for conviction because the
language OF Article ~ is not broad
enough to enable them to consider the
charges, and who decline TO be bound by
the ruling OF the court that Article " IL
broad enough to consider such testimony
as the basis Of substantial charges.
Courses OF reasoning leading TO such
an absurd conclusion must be re-exam-
ined Sound reasoning does not produce
such a conclusion. II II prevails here to-
day 1t Will be the duty OF the Assembly 10
convene tomorrow and formulate articles
OF impeachment based upon the oninions

such result would bring discredit upon
