Special Dispatch to THE NEW YoRK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. C.. Aug. 2.
Senator's awoke to-day to the fact
that toe country is facing national
scandal in relation to campaign funds
with the lid completely removed from
expenditures and the blue sky, the
limit in the nomination and election Of
Senator's and the nomination of repre-
sentatives.
A movement, headed by Senator
Pomerene (Dem. Ohio) and Senator
Borah (Rep., Idaho), was inaugurated
to compel a subcommittee of the Sen
ate Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions to act on some of the pending
bills which aim to remedy the situa-
ton and put some form of Federal
curb on campaign expenditures.
It is planned to precipitate the ques-
ton upon the floor of the Senate. to-
morrow, or at the first opportunity.
The Supreme Court decision in the
Newberry case and the Interpretation
placed upon it by Attorney-General
Daugherty remove any Federal restric-
tions upon the expenses incurred by
candidates for the Senate in primary or

rule they might be called upon for an
explanation.
Such q resolution as that proposed by
Senator Gooding would be sweeping in
character and require weeks and even
months instead Of few days as pro-
posed by Senator Caraway The Cara
way resolution asked that the Senate
Judiciary Committee conduct an investi-
cation, to be completed In ten days. In
which all Senators were to report
whether they were financially interested
or In any other way interested in any
OF the rates In either the Fordney- Nc
Cumber bill or the Emergency Tariff
law. passed earlier by this same Con-
gress.
WrangIc over Time of Vote.
When the Senate began its session to-
day Senator Simmons On CO.. Demo-
crat asked for consideration OF his re-
quest for unanimous consent agree
ment for vote on the tariff bill on
August 10. Senator Mccumber asked
that the proposal be modified so that a
vote could be had on August II. two
days earlier. The play was for politi-
cal position. and 1t developed a long
wrangle, in which many Senators be-
came involved.
X senator i>cuTOOI wv ISL LOOK the lead,
finally, in objecting to either proposal.
on the ground that If time were fixed
for voting 1t would be impossible to
discuss some of the highly important
items In the bill. 1t never would be
possible to reach them. he said. and
he would have to insist on different
course of procedure.
When the debate went on for a long
time Senator Harrison asked Senator
Lenroot what he would propose In
place OF an agreement fixing time for
voting. Senator Lenroot suggested that
ten minutes be allowed for each item
In the bill, and no more. This, of
course, met the objection OF the Demo-
Gratis. who declared they were prepar-
ing to discuss at length some of the
highly important items, such as sugar,
hides. leather and shoes, and that they
would be able to say next to nothing
at all about them in ten minutes.
Senator Lenroot accused the Demo-
Gratis of seeking political advantage of
an early vote on the tariff bill. He de-
clared that the Democrats had changed
their tactics, from trying to block the
bill in the beginning, but now, since
the bill was being changed, trying to
have it adopted. He asserted that the
changes which the Finance Committee
has been making from time to time,
had improved the bill.
The Democrats did not miss the op-

Open to Amendment.
The President pro tenn. interrupted:
"The Senator from North Carolina is
aware of the fact that under the rules
when the resolution is considered 1t is
open to amendment. At present It will
be referred to the Committee to Audit
and Control the Contingent Expenses OF

II understand now that the resolution

tingent expenses of the Senate be di-
mediately the resolution. The motion
was agreed to without a roll call
Now I offer the resolution which
send to the desk and ask unanimous
consent for its immediate considera-
ton" said Senator Harrison.
Here is the text of Senator Harrisons
resolution as read by the clerk: !.
Whereas paragraph ~ of section
II OF Jefferson's Manual provides
where the private interests OF a
member are concerned in a bill or
question he is to withdraw and when
such an interest has appeared his
voice has been disallowed;" !"

the Senate that the principle enunci-
ated In the rule is proper and wise
Resolved further, that IL is the
sense Of the Senate that Senators in
consideration of the>pending bill 7456
and on all other questions that may
arise in the Senate should adhere TO

Mr.. Harrison asked for unanimous
consent for the immediate consideration
OF the resolution.
II think it should follow the other

that such changes as have been made
have been in the later schedules after
the opposition to the bill became in
Atense. The schedules adopted earlier
In the session. before the public was
awakened to the situation. remain al
most unchanged.
Working for Agreement.
The expectation was tonight. as a
result Of all the debate. that an agree
ment would be entered into whereby
some of the items. such as sugar and
hides. would be discussed out of the
regular order, and at length. Then, on
items which are less controversial
limit would be placed on the time of dis
cussion.
Senate leaders. both Democrats and
Republicans, were working toward an
agreement along this line. Senator
Lenroot. who blocked the agreement to-
day. was in some of the conferences,
SO that the prospects are that the whole
matter will be smoothed over to every
body's satisfaction.
Senator Simmons read into the Con-
0ressfondl Record an editorial article,
which appeared to-day in THE NEW
YoEK HERALD. q reprint of the editorial
which appeared on May Q. last, discuss
ing the minority report on the tariff
bill.
That editorial or parts OF it, had been
read into the Congressional Record
few days ago by Senator Mclean (Rep.,
Comm and later referred to by Senator
McCumber. having been held up as proof.
that. THE NEW York HERALD had
changed front on the tariff bill. To
show that there was nothing inconsistent
about the position then and now, THE
NEW YORK HERALD reprinted the edi-'
torial with an Introductory explanation
Mr.. President, on August 1st the
Senator from North Dakota and myself
had a little pleasant sort of exchange
over certain articles which had appeared
In THE New YoRK HERALD" Senator
simmons said. Il thought he used the
word 'scurrilous' as to myself. but see
u Is not in the record. Anyhow, II was
villainous article about me and my
report. according to the Senator from
North Dakota I observe upon reading
it that while It does speak of me as
politician and does state that some parts
Of the report might have been dictated
by partisan bias. 1t is rather commenda-
tory Of part OF It, and very, very un-
complimentary OF the Fordney-McCum-
Der bill" .,e

Senator Lodge (Mass.). Republican
floor leader.
"Do I understand that objection has
been made2" inquired Senator Harrison.
II ask that the resolution 60 over
under the rule" said Senator McCumber,
''and then 1t will go In company with
the resolution of the Senator from
Idaho"
"In other words,'@ Senator Harrison
said with sarcasm, when that resolu-
tion is adopted this one may be
adopted"
The President pro tenn. announced
that since objection had been made the
resolution would lie over under the rule.
While manipulating his resolution
Senator Gooding had the aid OF Senator
Stanfield (Ore). Republican, who says
in his autobiography in the Congress
sional Directory that he Is "America's >
largest producer OF wool and mutton"
Senator Stanfield went from his seat TO
where Senator Gooding was sitting. and
they had frequent whispered conferences.
Senator Goodng served notice last
Monday that he intended to introduce his
resolution. He was aroused by the reso-
luton offered last week by Senator
Caraway (Ark.), Democrat, following
the printing in THE New YORK HERALD
of editorials calling attention to the
fact that Senators engaged in raising
sheep were responsible for the high rates
on raw wool. rates which, in the opinion
of tariff experts would add s20o,0O0,000
a year to the clothing costs OF the
American people.
Editorials Anger Senators.
All the sheep raising Senators have re-
garded THE New York HERALD as one

high rates in the tariff bill and have
been particularly angry because OF the
newspapers editorial denunciation OF
Senators who, personally interested in
the commodities for which rates are
being fixed, have let the fight for high
rates. This, of course, is the explana-
tion for the frantic effort to discredit

that it's interest Is dictated by adver-
tisers and importers instead of the pub

tion, which went the way OF the Gooding
resolution-to committee--sirnply Is
reaffirmation OF the policy laid down in
Jefferson's Manual, that Senators finan-

Their patience exhausted BY the sug-

General Daugherty holds invalidates the

cept so far as the election of Repre-
sentatives is concerned" several rema-
dial bills We're introduced. All of these
have been referred to the subcommittee
headed by Senator Spencer (Rep.. MOD.
They have been in possession of this
subcommittee nearly three months, but
nothing has been done, and some Sem
ators intimate that 1t is intended that
nothing shall be done.
Senators who are exercised over the
situation contend the country is con-
fronted with an orgy of expenditures
which will make the NeWbcrry case a
minor incident.
Senator Spencer Explains.
Senator Spencer said to-day: 1T has
been impossible to take action on the
various measures before the committee
because of the absence from Washing
ton Of some of the members of the COM
mittee. l believe something should be
done il it is possible, but the question
is 50 important that 1t will be necessary
to get all of the committee members 20
gether when action Is taken"
Senator Shortridge (Rep.. CALI, an
other member of the subcommittee. adj
mitted to-day he did not even know he
was a member and was not prepared
TO discuss the question.
The subcommittee consists of SEN
ators Spencer, chairman: Shortridge,
Ernst tRep Ky), Walsh (Dem,
Mont) and l'onaerene (Dem. Ohlo).
Senator Pomerene plans to ask the
Senate TO lay aside the tariff bill long
enough to take action which will pre-
vent national application of New
berryism." and believes the issue is Of
sufficient Importance to justify this
action. He would limit expenses of
Senatorial candidates to $4,000, this to
cover nomination and election

Gooding 81 do not think there Is any
body left out"
The president pro tenn directed the
secretary to reread that part of the
resolution which referred to Mr.. Munsey
but suggested at the same time that de-
bate on the resolution was not in order
The assistant secretary read as follows :
"2 The financial interests OF Mr.,
Frank A. Munsey in European industries
which compete with American indus
tries; the amount and percentage of his
income derived from advertisements
placed in his newspapers by the import
ing department stores which have
financed campaign of defamation
against the pending tariff bill and which
will profit by the defeat OF the bill"
Senator Harrison was on his feet
again. "That does not include any other
paper" he said. Does not the Senator
think other papers should be included?'
The President pro tenn. ruled that de-
bate was not in order on the resolution.

Senator Harrison.
