SMITH, DEBARRED
SEAT IN SENATE
ST RIKES BACK

BLOOMINGTON, Ill, March 8 Up
Terming the United States senate
chamber the supreme and fest van
tage point in all this world from which
to launch attacks upon the character,
morals, politics or religion or anyone
whomsoever," Col. Frank L. Smith.
twice barred from a senate seat, to-
night opened his second carni1 ign for
the republican nomination.
mo one is exempt from neither
slander or libel in the United States
aenate--no one from the president Of
the nation to prisoner in the peniten-
tiary-except members of the club,
raid Col Smith. His speech was also
the first detailed statement since be-
ing named senator three times once
by election and twice by design 2tion
by Governor Len Small. He was un-
able to take his seat because the sem
ate barred him for accepting campaign
contributions from public utilities.
What are 100000 citizens of Illinois
to half hundred senators?" he asked
in referring to the 100000 votes he re-
ceived in the election more than a
year ago. ''What, indeed, are the whole
100000 of our people in Illinois to
that little half hundred, when presi-
Dental nominating conventions are
approaching and every second demo-
cratic desk in the senate chamber is
ornamented with lightning rod, as
well as several republican desks?"
Col. Smith said that the coming
campaign would be waged by him on
the same platform as his previous one
but that the real issue is whether the
senate has the right upon any grounds
or no grounds as it sees fit to accept
or reject whoever you may elect as
senator, whether you agree with the
senate or whether you don't"
If elected for the second time and
given his credentials for the fourth
time, he stated that he Was certain he
would be seated.
Reviewing his former campaign and
the resulting controversy over his
right to be seated, Col. Smith said that
he had waged his campaign on clearly
defined issues and had won in the
primary Overwhelmingly"
