 The nearest thing to political speech in the Senate was an attack by Senator Pomerene, democrat Ohio, on the contingent expense committee for delay in reporting his resolution pro- posing an investigation by the elec- tio committee into expenditures in the Forthcoming presidential and con S9E3 s-ioa ] aAmpaigns. He declared. [ .at neither the republicans nof the democrats dared to say to the people that it was none of their business where campaign funds came from or how they were expended. The resolu- ton was adopted without a record vote.

 HOUSE FINISHES EARLY The House cleaned up it's work early in the day and twice recessed to await possible Senate action on pending measures.
 The Senate remained in continuous session and as the result of small sized filibuster there the bill to es- tabliSh national budget system failed of passage.

Representative Garrett, demo- crat. Tennessee, replied declaring that this Congress had been "humiliating l failure."
 President Wilson's criticism of Con- ] gress in his telegram today to the heads of the railroad brotherhoods also passed without continent in either l house.

 budget bill after amending it to meet | the President objection that it took | from the executive authority to remove the comptroller general and assistant comptroller general, officials appointed l by him under the measure. | Republican leaders abandoned theil plan to call for a vote on the resolu tion refusing President Wilson's reques l for authority to accept a mandate ovel Armenia The measure already had beer i adopted by the Senate. Chairman Por | ter, in formal statement, said demo cratic members of the House would hav' blocked transaction of all other bust

 lives began almost immediately after ad ljournment will continue tomorrow an
