SMITH IS EN- ROUTE
TO DEMAND SEAT
Leaves Chicago This After
noon to Present Credentials
as Senator.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January 17.-Col. Frank
L. Smith of Dwight was in Chicago
today upon the first stage of his trip
to Washington. There he will lay
before the Senate one of the two sets
of credentials he holds as Senator for
Illinois-those recording his appoint
ment by Gov. Len Small to fill the
uneXpired term of the late Senator
William B. Mckinley. He intended to
depart on an afternoon train.
He had no statement to add to that
issued Thursday night, when he broke
the silence he maintained since the
news of his appointment caused an
outbreak in the Senate based upon the
revelation that his campaign for the
full term, to which he was elected,
was financed in great part by CON
tributions from public utility heads.
In that statement Col. Smith argued
that it was the duty of the Senate to
seat him upon proper presentation of
proper credentials before it undertook
any examination of his right to sit as
a Senator.
