L. Smith is not entitled to a seat in
the United States Senate, the Reed
primary investigating committee re-
ported to the Senate today.
The report recommended that the
seat Of the Illinois Republican
Senator elect be declared vacant.
A resolution, denouncing Smith
because of the large sums of money
given and spent in his behalf in
the 1926 primary campaign and
carrying out the disbarment rec
ommendstion was presented by
Senator James A. Reed CDemO
Missouri, chairman of the Investl-
eating Committee.
The resolution said:
"The acceptance and expenditure
of the various sums of money in be-
half of Smiths candidacy is con-
trary to sound public policy, harmful
to the dignity and honor of the Sen
ate, dangerous to the perpetuity OF
free government, and taints with
fraud and corruption the Smith ere
dentials"
The resolution was designed to
end the sensational election case
which started when the committee
found Smith spent $458,782 in the
primary, of which all save SITS
was contributed by officials of large
public service organizations. At the
time the contributions were made
Smith was chairman of the State
public utilities commission.
