PLAN WOULD STOP
ELECTION FRAUDS

WASHINGTON, D. c., May IT,
In an energetic effort to prevent
opportunities for repetition of the
Newberry scandal in the forthcom-
ing elections" Representative John
L. Cable, from the Fourth Ohio
district, yesterday electrified the
House and broke into the first pages
of the Washington newspapers.
Cable insisted the need of i'm
mediate action on his corrupt prac-
tees act is urgent, because in Illi-
nois, Mississippi, Rhode Island, and
Tennessess no regulations exist to
prevent use of money to secure
elections to the Senate. In Della
ware, Georgia, New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Vermont, and Washington no
attempt is made to limit expendi-
lures, he said.
Statues of Arizona, Colorado,
Idaho, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and
Virginia apply only to primaries.
The Ohio law is interpreted as fix
ing no limit for Senatorial candi-
dates.
In the Senate, efforts are being
made by Pomerene and Mcclellan to
secure similar action, although the
measure introduced in the upper
house is not so drastic as Cables,
which provides forfeiture of office
for the offending candidate, and
automatic seating of the one stand
ing next highest in election returns.
Representative Cable is the sec
ond Republican to be elected in
the Fourth Ohio Congressional Dis
trict, and so brilliant has been his
record in his first Congress that
predictions are freely made that he
will succeed himself for an in
definite time, if he so desires. He
is a lawyer, but one of the many
of that profession who are free to
declare that there are too many
lawyers in Congress.
The wife of Representative Cable
is the most brilliant pianist in the
Congressional set She is a COM
poser of several beautiful songs and
her services are much in demand
at the Congressional Club and in
Washington official society.
When Carrie Jacobs Bond, the
composer, gave her own interpreta-
tion of "The End of Perfect
Day.. to Washington music lovers
last winter, Mrs. Cables new COM
position entitled "Moods" was per-
haps as highly commented upon.
The two artists threw fgurative
bouquets at one another.
Representative Cable is one of
the many who have written to Sam
Arentz, concerning the Nevada
mans aspiration to seat in the
United States Senate. His letter,
under date Of May a, is as follows
MY dear Colleague:
knowing that you are a can
didate for nomination and election
this year to the office of United
States Senator, cannot let the op-
portunity pass to express my opin-
ion as to the services you have
rendered during this session of
Congress.
"You have shown we'll your
ability in all legislative matters
coming befort the House, particu-
larry those in which those in which
the people of Nevada are directly
interested. In every instance you
have given careful consideration to
the necessities of the Nation as
well as your state.
"Your services have been marked
by active participation on the floor
of the House, as well as hard work
in committees of which you are a
member. In addition to those COM
mittees, know of many occasions
where you have expressed active
interest in bills considered by other
committees, particularly those in
immigration and Naturalization,
and Roads, as / am a member of
these two committees.
Personally, l feel the people of
Nevada could select no one more
qualified to represent them in the
United States Senate than yourself;
and with your election, your pres
cnce in the upper house would be
added strength to your State, as well
as the Nation.
Sincerely yours,
(C:,ooIN NTOuN GA Il -
