Even now Senator Reed is prepar.

ate and seek to have them cited for
contempt. The recent decision in the
Nal Daugherty case by the supreme
Court is relied upon to give the Senate
fuJl mower TO deal with contempt cases
and to bring about the imprisonment
of recalcitrant witnesses.
The rejection of Col. Smith as Sen
ator.elect from Illinois will follow as
surely as dav follows night, according
to Senators who would discuss the mat
ter at the Capitol today. They sald
that the case against him as an dp'
nointed Senator to fill the vacancy

was weaker than the case Which
would be made against his belnS seat

Whether Col. Smith Will become
convinced of the hopelessness OF the
contest remains to be seen. lie pc
lieves that he is absolutely in the
right and has done nothing to warrant
his rejection. The present Indications
are he will continue the f1ght.
Senator Ernst said today that full

Unless Col. Smith should determine
to abandon entirely his contest for a
seat in the Senate, 1t does not appear
likely that Gov. Len Small of Illinois
would appoint any one else for the

SIZZLING ATTACK
ON MAS PARDONS
Texas Legislative Committee
Calls Policy ''DisgraCefuI"
and "IndisCriminate."

BY the Associated Press.
AUSTIN. Tex. January 21.-The
terms "disgraceful," ''indiscrminate'
and "superliberal' were applied to
the pardoning policy of former Gov.

denounced in the report.
Report Worded Strongly.
Not in the history of the State has
there been such a disgraceful disre-
gard for the proper and just punish
ment of criminals and the safeguard
ing of the people and property of this
State" the report said in regard to
pardons.
The report said the power and
prestige of the governors office had
been practically usurped and dictated
by private citizen, the husband of
the governor, for political favoritism
and financial gain, and the fact that
him beyond the pale of the law"
Sway of Private Citizen.
The report continued that it had not
been anticipated that the governors
office would SO completely come under
the power and domination of private
individual, who would take advantage
of the opportunity to commercialize
this great and sacred public trust to
the enrichment Of himself and mem
bers of his immediate family, and
favorite political friends and sup
porters."
There is no law in Texas to cover
the situation, the committee said.
The committee was appointed at a
called session of the legislature sew
eral months ago and was instructed to
report to the present Legislature.
Among things investigated were high
way affairs, about which there had
been much controversy, and pardons.
