SCOPE Of SENATE
PROBE QUESTIONED
Held That Method of "Try-
ling" Candidates Is Preju-
dicial to Office Seekers.

Two views prevail here as to the scope
and function OF the Senate committee
Investigating campaign expenditures.
One is thai the Senate committee has
established an important precedent
making 1t possible for a Senate COM
niittee to try the leading candidates
and prejudice the public for or against
ascandidate by inQuiring into matters
other than campaign expenses.
THE other is that the committees line
OF inquiry will tend to make all political
campaigns Of the future much more
wholesome. because full publicity will
Be given TO everything done, especially
IN pre- convention campaigns.
Naturally there are charges of
partiSanShip. that questions are asked

body, on the other hand. would dare
10 refuse to answer the Senate COM
snittee'S questions as this would leave
an impression of a desire 10 conceal
komething that should be made public.
Irrelevant Questioning.
The opportunity to inquire into the
campaign has not usually been afforded,
hxcept where there has been some
prfEna facie evidence of wrongdoing,
fTfhe Senators, however, who are purSu-
tng what might seem to some as an
Srreleyant line OF questioning contend
that only by such persistent question:
ing can they bring out the facts, and
that II a candidate or his management
has done nothing wrong there is moth
kng to fear.
The present investigation is revealing
some things. however, other than the
spending of money. 1t shows some in
4ereSting phases of the campaign of
Gov. Smith and the method by which
the Hoover campaign was developed.
The people who take q peSSimiStic
view of the action Of the Senate COM
mittee say that unfortunately the de-
hailed testimony and final reports are
neither printed in full nor read by the
summaries that give prominence and
kensation to single episodes.
Legality Questioned.
There is some doubt expressed among
constitutional lawyers whether the SEN
ate has a legal right to delve into the
methods of nominating presidential or
vice presidential candidate and that the
Jurisdiction of the Senate comes IN when
the Candidates have been chosen and
the final election campaign Is under
way.
I The view is held that the pre-conven-
tion campaigns are matters inside po-
1iticaI party. Nevertheless. no candidate
or party wants to be in the position OF
arguing against any investigation OF
