PLANS To BLOCK
RES0[ [UT|0N FOR
PROBE OF GRAFT
Republican Leaders Would Check
Caugherty's Effort to Investigate
Alleged War Scandals
of Country.
(Rv Tic United Press.l

Washington, May 0.-Republican
leaders in the house laid plans to,
day for baking passage of the pend
ing resolution calling for an investi-
cation Of the conduct Of the depart
nent Of justice in war graft cases.
From a reliable source it was
earned that Floor Leader Mondell
md other party leaders, apparently
working in close touch with the adj
ninistration, have decided to do ev-
erything they can to stave off the
investigation.
Taking at face value Attorney
General Daugherty's statement that
prosecutions in fraud cases are soon
to be started they will vigorously
oppose any attempt to bring the
resolution before the house for con-
sideration, and II they fail in this,
they will try to marshal enough
votes to kill the resolution when it
comes to vote.

Two points upon which the Rus

Newberry Case Figures In Statement

Be Result.

Washington, May 10.-Candldates
for the United States senate may
spend unlimited sums OF money In
their campaigns in nominating prl
maries, or In final elections next
November, without filing statements
of their campaign receipts and ex.
penditures with the secretary OF the
senate, according TO an opinion by
Attorney General Daughorty made
public today.
The attorney general held that
the decision of the supreme court
in the, Newberry case had invali-
dated the provisions of the corrupt
practices act, so far as concerns
senatorial candidates.
May Lead to Changes.
The attorney generals opinion
rendered at the request of Senator
Pomerene, Ohio. and Representative
Robert Luce, Massachusetts, proba-
bly, will lead to an early move in
the senate to amend the corrupt
practices act, to make its provisions
apply to candidates in the elections
next fall. Daugherty's opinion said :
"As United States senators are
not now elected by legislatures of
the states, as contemplated by this
act, it is my opinion that this fact
In Dnnnootinp xxsft h.a haI1fna II.
the Newberry decision makes 1t un-
necessary for a candidate for United
States senator to file any statement
whatever in connection with his
or election"
Lower House Must File.
The attorney general held that
candidates for the house of repre-
are required to file with
the clerh of the house statements of
campa gn contributions and disburse-
ments in general election because
no change has been made in the
manner of their election.
The corrupt practices act in its
present form was enacted August
10, 1911, and refers to the e,-ction
Of senators by the legislatures of
the states. The seventeenth amend
ment to the constitution ratified
May 81, 1913, provides for their
election by the people of the states.
Hence, basing his opinion on the
supreme courts decision in the
case, Daugherty holds that
The law Of 1911, affecting election of
senator's by legislatures cannot ap-
ply to popular elections of senators
as provided by the constitutional
Of 1918.
