SMITHS SENATE
FIGHT Is AGAIN
CAUSING A FUSS
Former Governor Dunno.
Warns Against Ousting
Him.

CHICAGO. Dec. 29 (P)-From three
sides, the tangled skein OF Illinois
junior senatorship was hauled back
into the political cau1dron today.
Edward Dunno, former governor of
Illinois and a democrat, cautioned
members of his party in the senate
that if they voted not to, seat Frank
L. Smith, they would deal severe
blow to the doctrine of states rights
and might jeopardize the status of
their own colleagues from southern
states.
Colonel Smith, who has not talked
for publication since Governor Len
Small appointed him a fortnight ago
to succeed the late Senator William
B. Mckinley was understand to have
conferred here with Senator Charles
S. Deneen senior senator from Illinois
Senator Ashurst, democrat, Arizona,
made it known that he had tele
graphed Governor Small asking in
formation on the stateemnt in Small
announced Smiths interim appoint
ment, indicating that if Small based
the appointment on Smiths previous
election to succeed Mckinley, senate
democrats would take the position
that the same arguments could be
invoked against seating Smith for the
short term as will be brought to
bear against his admission for his
elective terms. Small said at Spring.
field that he had not received the
Ashurst communication. He started
for Chicago for several conferences,
but did not say whether he plans
to meet Smith here.
Dunno took the position that the
senate may expel Smith by two
thirds vote, after seating him butt
that if it declined to accept his
credentials, it would set a "revolu-
itonary'' precedent fraught with dam
ger 10 the democratic party.
'The great peril l see to the
democratic party" saidnDunne, would
be. that following this precedent, al
republican majority could refuse tol
recognize the credentials of any sem
ator from a, southern state where
the fourteenth amendment to the
constitution gives the negro the right |
to vote, alleging as reason that
they came from states where the
constitution was being violated and
that their own elections were Illegal"
Dunno said refusal of the senate to
seat Smith would remove the last
Vestige of state sovereignty in this |
republic"
Smith and Deneen declined to COM
ment on reports of their conference |
and Smith spokesmen said no de-
Velopments, could be looked for, de-
spite the Inference i'm soD,a o,ar+ars
that Deneen had nouced Smith not
to present his credentials at the short

GALES NOT TO
EXTEND GRACE
ON OIL L A w S

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 20 R.-
President Gales tonight declined to
grant an extension of time on the
new oil regulations which come into
effect January ,. He made known
his refusal in dispatch to the New
York headquarters of various OIL;
companies operating in Mexico, sew
eral of these companies having ap,
piled to the government for such
extension.
The oil companies explained that
they were unable safely to accept
the law as it stands because it doe9
not protect properties acquired be.
fore 1917.
The presidents refusal has also
disrupted the hopes of the Mexican
oil companies which had presented
an application similar to that of tho
foreign companies. Their request for
an extension was based on the plea
that it would permit time for
amendments of the law specifically
safeguarding properties acquired be-
fore 1917.
President Gales expressed his be-
lief that it is not the oil industry's
cWn interests, but causes far distant
which are the underlying motive for
the attitude of rebellion assumed by
some of the oil companies tn COM
plying with the law
He further declared that the
Mexican government had shown an
ample liberal spirit in, executing the
law, which he characterized as
good law and did not destroy any
legally acquired rights. He re-
gretted that the facilities accorded
to the oil companies by the Mexican
government had not met with recip
rocity from the oil companies.
The oil companies which signed
the telegram addressed to the presi-
dent from New York and to which
President Gales sent his reply were,
