Friends of Alabama Appointee
to Submit Arguments to
Senate Leaders.

The eligibility Ct Henry b. Clayton
TO a seat in the Senate as successor 10
the late Senator Johnston of Alabama
is to be taken up by democratic mem
eers of the Senate at caucus tonight.
Request for a caucus was made by
the>friends of Mr. Clayton who desire TO
submit arguments on the case TO their
acknowledgements in a party gathering.
Mr.. Claytons commission. as the APP
pointee of Gov. O'Neal of Alabama, will
be submitted to the Senate after the
caucus has discussed the case.
Legal Opinion to Be Printed.
The fight to seat Henry u c,ayton.
appointed to the Senate 10 fiji the un-
expired term of the late Senator John
ston of Alabama. began in the Senate
Yesterday when Senator Bankhead OF
Alabama asked permission and OBJ
tanned it for having printed the legal
opinions upon which Gov. ONeal had
based his action in appointing Mr.
Clayton.
Senator Bankhead announced that
Mr.. Claytons credentials would be sub
mitted to the Senate later. but that the
time for their submission had not been
set.
"A situation exists in the Senate
which will require a most careful and
palnstaklng investigation" he told his
colleagues. The Governor Of Alabama
has 10 pride of opinion in the matter.
When the vacancy occurred and the
question Of filling it was put up to him
he called upon his legal advisers for
opinions as to his authority. and lie
based his action upon those opinions
now submitted"
Now Favors Seating.
In statement issued yesterda: Sena :
tor Robinson of Arkansas announced
that he now favored the seating of Mr.
Clayton, though at first he had been
opposed to it. He argued that the last
clause of section two of the constitu-
tional amendment providing for the di
rect election of senators does not apply
to the term of any senator chosen be-
fore the amendment became valid. He
said:
1T being the intention of the seven
| venience and expense of extra sessions
of state legislatures. which would
otherwise be necessary. it is provided
| that as to the successors of senators
chosen before the amendment became
effective who die or resign during their
terms appointments may be made as
heretofore. The provision is a Sensi-
BILE and a reasonable means of avoiding
| confusion, and it now seems to me
| that Gov. ONeal acted within his au-
thority when he appointed MIR. Clay
ton, who will serve until The meeting
of the next session of the Alabama
