Il believe there will beno difficulty in
the matter of raising money for the

SUTHERLAND SAYS
LEE NOT ENTITLED
TO SEAT IN SENATE

Washington. January 26-An attack by
Senator Sutherland, of Utah, upon the
right of Blair Lee to a seat in the Senate
by virtue of the election in Maryland last
November marked the opening of the
debate today on the report of the commits
tee on elections recommending that Mr..
Lee be seated. Senator Kern, majority
leader. said the case had been so thor
oughly presented to the committee on
elections that he felt 1t unnecessary to
take the time of Ehe Senate i'll defending
Mr.. Lees right to a seat.
Senator Sutherland contended that
neither the seventeenth amendment, au-
thorizing the direct election of senator's
nor the laws of Maryland, authorized the
governor to call special election to fill
the Maryland vacancy in the Senate.
Senator Cummins and Senator Kenyon
of Iowa. urged that the Senate should
accept the opinion of the attorney gen.
eral of Maryland and the decision of the
Maryland appellate court to the effect
that the Maryland laws did authorize the
special election being called.
