Carley Resolution Wins.

The senate took final action ON
the now famous Carley resolu-
ton Thursday afternoon and.
after a long debate. ended by
adopting the resolution unani-
mously. II calls for a thorough
going investigation into the do
ings of the state machine during
the recent past. Senator Carley
maintains that the corrupt prac-
tees act has been violated all the
way from A to z; that state Of
ficials have been putting in a
great deal Of their time on poll
tics, instead of attending to their
duties; that they have their APP
pointees out in the state TO cleo
tioneer at the expense of the
state. These are serious charges
and, if found true, the people will
be apt TO clean house at the state
capitol two years hence.
OF course. it is one thing TO
make a charge; another, to prove
it. Senator Carley will be on the
investigation committee to be APP
pointed by the lieutenant govern
or. so it is said, and it is up to
him TO do his utmost to prove his
charges.
