Washington. ID. c.. May $.
Strong opposition to the confirmation
OF Nat Goldstein as Collector Of Internal
Revenue at st. Louis, developed in the
Senate to-day, and the indication now
are that the Finance Committee will ask
President Harding TO withdraw the
nomination.
Chairman McCumber announced that
before the committee took any action
in the case there will be searching
,investigation' Of the alleged payment
to Goldstein of $500 to aid the Lowden
campaign in Missouri during the Presi-
Dental primaries in 1920.
"Of course. if he can prove to the
committee there was nothing wrong in
the transaction it will make favorable
report added Senator McCumber :
At q meeting of the committee to-day
several Senators objected to the con-
fir'mation OF Goldsten. including Sena-
tors Smoot (Utah). Calder On. W and
Frelinghuysen On. J.).
Republican leaders at the Capitol are
much perturbed over the incident. as
they feel 1t is an unfortunate circum-
stance coming on the eve OF the Con-
gressional elections and so soon after
the Newberry case. Furthermore they
point ont that the attacks on Secretary
Fall over the leasing OF the oil reserves
and the attacks on Attorney General
Daugherty all have .. tendency to hurt
the party al q critical time

Senator Harrison (Aiiss.) to-day took a
fling at the appointment of Goldstein.
There is another man out there, w.
L. Cole,"- said Senator Harrison, who
did not receive so much as Goldstein,
but he received II in the same way. He
received from the Lowden managers
$500 and about the same time he got
$1,250 from Daugherty. the present At
torney- General. who went to Missouri
for Harding. SO ne received 81, 100. Those
particularly interested could never find
out just how Cole stood before the con-
vention. Naturally he was neutral as
between Lowden and Harding, since he
had received money from both OF them"
which one paid him last?" asked Sem
ator McKellar (Tenn.). r
Harding paid him last and finally
Cole voted for him. replied Senator
Harrison.
Cole to-day" added Senator Harri-
son, lis special assistant to the At
torney- General, living here in Washing
ton. getting a big salary. That is the
was they do things in Missouri among
the Republicans.
There have been other appointments
made in Missouri by the present Ad-
ministration which perhaps are equally
as bad. There is man, Roy G. Davis,
who received 500 or the Lowden money
and who has since been made Minister
to Costa Rico by this Administration.
''w.SIi. Allen was handed money from
the same source and in the same man
nel. that Goldstein and Cole were given
money Allen did not get As much as
Goldstcin He received only 500. To-
day Allen Is the Prohibition Agent for
Missouri, appointed to that high place
by the present Administration. 1t looks
as IL the only way to get good posi-
ton in Missouri from the Republican
party is to have been corrupted by
missionaries before the Republican con-
ventior"
