one occasion, upset the plans of the

the enactment of legislation of an IN

difficult to accomplish when there
are disgruntled and sore-headed men,

grudges arising from disappointment

the discussions heard among those

that an unusual spirit of conserva-

There is nothing on earth that we
cherish,
And nothing husband loves
more,
Than the WIFE that was given to
help him,
And save in temptations so
sore.
When trial and conflict surround
She then is his comfort and
stay,
And when the dark clouds gather
Ger him
Her smile quickly drives. them

In sorrow and anguish what
comfort ~
Comes from her watching. and
care,
No battle SO fierce or no
uduS0T
To keep her away from him
there.
She will stand by when all others
forsake him,
And keep brave and true till the
last,
And in life's darkest hour will
comfort
Until every temptation is past.
She will always be sweetheart and
dearest
OF any on earth he holds
dear,
Her voice will always be sweetest
OF any he ever will hear.
At last, when life's journey is
ended,
BY her side he will lie down to
rest,
And in heaven she still will be with
him,
Forever and ever the blest.

The measure, passed by the Senate

in the House of number of farm bloc

1t also came in for attack from

Fight Starts in
Senate Over Money
Spent in Campaigns

Washington, Dec. 9.-(P)-The in
evitable battle over senatorial CAM
paign expenditures began today in
the Senate.
Unexpectedly Senator Dill. Demo-
crat, of Washington, opened the fight
over the OUTLAWS in the Illinois and
Pennsylvania Republican primaries,
by offering resolutions, on which
action was deferred, declaring Will
liam S. Ware and Frank L. Smith
disqualified as senator's elect from
those states.
Earlier in the day the opening of
a new field for investigation was
proposed by John r. Neal. attorney,
of Knoxville, Tenn, who charged in
a letter to the senate elections COM
mittee that Senator Tyson, Demo-
crat, of Tennessee, had spent $780,
600 in his primary campaign two
years ago. Neal requested an investf-
cation.
Before the senate met, the special
senate campaign expenditures COM
| mite discussed future activities be-
hind closed doors for an hour, but
adjourned without reaching a deci-
sion as to when it would meet or to
what its procedure would be. Indi-
cations were given, however that the
committee was not yet through.
In offering his resolutions, Senator
Dill admitted that 1t was unprece-
dented, but declared the credentials
of Ware and Smith were tainted and
sticky with money and the doors of
the senate should be closed to them
He explained that if some step to
prevent 1t at was not taken at this
session, both Ware and Smith would
be placed on the government payroll
March 4 and would function as sem
ators before the senate could get an
opportunity to "evict" them.
His position was sustained by Sem
ator Ashurst, Democrat, of Arizona
Some other senators. who have
been holding back awaiting the for
NAL report of the Reed committee,
were inclined to view the resolutions
as premature.
/. In addition to disqualifying Ware
and Smith as senator's the resolutions
Mould order officials of the senate to
befuse to accept their credentials and
would forbid any senator from pre-
senting them.
Veering from the campaign ex-
penditures issues, the Washington
senator defended the primary sys-
tom which he said should be pre-
;2rved at all hazards.
He assailed the convention system
C nomination, asserting that the late
PRESIDENT Harding had been nomin-
ated in convention "by few BOSSES"
Seator Tyson was inclined to re-
! ard lightly the charges against him,
Insisting there was no foundation
:, hatever for them.
