Need DO oppogition

The inquiry will not be OPP.
posed BY Republican leaders, i
was learned, as the resolution
does not provide for initiating a
contest against the Maine sena-
ator.
It merely called on the Senate
Elections Committee to investi-
gate the charges against Gould
and then to recommend appro-
priate action to the Senate. As
Republicans control the commit
tee.
Democratic Maneuver Seen
Administration leaders, however,
gram for keeping the issue of cleo.
ton corruption constantly before
the American people.
BY such a naneuver, the Dem
ocrats would debate the Gould case
at the present short session and
then initiate contests against SEN
ators-elect William S. Ware of Penn
gylvania and Frank L, Smith of
Illinois, as soon as the new Senate
conyenes In the Seventeen Congress.
The resolution against Gould,
necited charges made by a Canadian
5urist several years ago that the
Maine Senator had paid 100000 to
j.. X. Fleming, then premier of the
Province Of New Brunswick.
This money was paid the premier
BY Gould. the jurist charged, in an
4icipation Of future favors for rail
Rad then represented by the Senator.
The same charges were aired in
Gonid's recent campaign but were
ignored by the voters of Maine.
Adoption Of the resolution is as
nnred. The Walsh move found the
Republican Insurgent bloc ready to
vote for a Senatorial inquiry, but
unwilling to aid in launching a con
test against Gould.
"As the charges, coming from a
foreign jurist, involve our relations
toward a friendly nation. / believe
there should be an inquiry" said
one Insurgent leader. Il don't feel
though that they justify an election
contest as tbs charges had nothing
90 do with Mr.. Gould's election.
I'm any event, the people of Maine
passed upon the charges and did
not feel they we're serious enough
20 prevent his service in the Senate. .
