under the present administration.
Senator Harrison raid Mr.. Goldstein

Missouri who had been corrupted
with money of the Lowden campaign
mo candidates was sailing more
smoothly than Governor Lowden, .

But Harding paid him last and he
finally voted for Harding" said Sem
ator Harrison. Senator Harrison read
from testimony of the senate commit
tee which investigated the 1920 cam
paign contributions, stressing state
ments that Mr.. GoIdstein had received
S2.5O0 of Lowden's money from Jake
Babler. Republican national commit
teeman for Missouri.
He deposited it to his own personal
account and checked against it just
as other funds" said Senator Harri-

made a mistake Now he is honored
by the president of the United States
as collector of internal revenue"

again that he would make every effort
to have Mr.. Goldstein's nomination
considered in open session and de-
Harding money also was plentiful in
Missouri"
Republicans Are Ashamed?
Senator Caraway. Democrat. Arkan-
sas, interjected that Mr. Goldstein
appeared to be a pretty good collec-
tor" and Senator Harrison said that
another Lowden delegate, Robert
Moore, who, he said, also received
S2,5OO, was now the deputy county
clerk under Mr.. Goldstein- If Cold
stein should be confirmed as collec
tor, Senator Harfison said. Moore
probably would be promoted to clerk.
Senator Harrison said the Repubn-
cans would 'bow their heads in
shame" to know that such charac-
ters'' as Mr. GoIdstein and the other
Lowden delegates had been appointed
to federal positions. He also referred
to Z. L. Morse as a recipient of $32,-
600 of Lowden campaign funds but
Mr. Morse. the senator said, was
wealthy and had not yet received any
federal appointment. He described
Mr.. Morse as 1.-The paymaster for Mis-
souri, of the Lowden campaign"
