Vigorous Defense of Currency
Bill by Rep. Carter Glass.

Speculation would receive the active
support of the government. he de-
clared. if these amendments were put
into the bill. The legitimate demand
of farming districts for money We're
fully covered by the measure and to
make warehouse receipts for cotton or
grain a legal security for the issuance
Of the proposed new treasury notes
would furnish the means by which
spectators could hold the cotton and
grain crops in storage for an indefinite
period.
Friends of the administration bill,
as the result of today's opening ses-
sion, predicted that the caucus would
approve the measure with few
changes. Reps. Neely. Ragsdale and
Eagle will lead a fight, however, for
the adoption of the proposed agrieul-
tural amendments, and also for
amendments to prevent inter-locliing
ti'reetorates of national banks and
to prevent banks from loaning money
to their officers. The caucus agreed to
allow eight hours of general debate on
the bill, one half to be controlled by
Chairman Glass and the other half by
Rep. Nicely of the "Insurgent" forces.
1t is expected that the caucus will
run throughout the week as the bill
will be read and debated section by
section after the general debate Is
ended.

This committee, therefore, has not
completed it's investigation, either on
!, this subject or others covered by the
resolutions under which it is acting,
| but il has felt that the revelations set
| forth in this report and the testimony
accompanying it should be brought to
1.-The attention of the Legislature at
once, without awaiting a final report
either on this or other subjects
"The questions here involved are vital
to clean government. They are above
party or craftsmanship. They are vital to
1.-the citizens of the state and call for
prompt and weli-eonsidered action. They
call for an answer from Gov. Sulzer, be-
cause both his obstructive tactics and
his silence warrant the conclusion that
the charges can neither be answered nor
explained"
The report is signed by James j. FraW-
ley. chairman; Eugene Lamb Richards,
counsel, and Matthew r. Morgan, secre-
HAIRY of the Investigating committee. An
epitome of the main evidence brought
out before the committee prefaces the
statement of its conclusions. The atii
davit of Gov. Sulzer accompanying his
declaration that he received and spent
only $3.50, directly or indirectly, as can
ddatey for governor is followed by the
statement that the testimony shows a
much larger sum to have been paid to
him for this purpose. This unaccounted
for surplus included checks for $500 from
Jacob Schiff, and $500 from Abram l. FL
kus in addition to various amounts, IN
Guiding $500 from Mr.. McCombs, chair
man, and $1,000 from Henry Morganthau,
chairman of the finance committee OF
the Democratic national committee
which, it Is asserted, mo one can doubt"
were contributed specifically for cam
paign purposes. With reference to Sa-
recky's refusal to testify concerning the
account he opened as Suffers agent with
the Mutual Alliance Trust Co., the report
says that sit is and was the opinion OF
your committee from the answers of said
witness and his demeanor on the stand
that his refusal to testify was at the in
stance and direction of Gov Sulzer."
This account alone, the report says.

paign expenses or nearly $1,000 more

showing one transaction of $12,025. or
this, $500 is said to have been in the
form of check from Mr.. Sulzer. Ii
is estimated that the total currency
deposited and paid out by Mr.. Sulzer
in various stock transactions between
the dates of his nomination and III
amounted to S43,950.
