power to appoint q successor. Fisher
had been aligned in the Pennsylvania
senatorial primary with former Senator
Pepper in opposition to the Vare-Beidle-
man ticket. The investigation disclosed
that more money had been expended
by the Pepper Fisher combination than
by the Ware Beidleman.
IT believe" said Senator Nye, that
If we unseat Ware we would be equally
justified in unseating Q man appointed
by Gov. Fisher. II am to vote for
the seating Of his appointee, the APP
pointee must be SOME one far re-
moved from the Grnndy-Fisher ma

SchaII Pleads for Ware.
Senator Nye read from a newspaper
report which said that Gov. Fisher
probably would appoint Joseph r.
Grundy, president Of the Pennsylvania
Manufacturers Association, to I'LL the
vacancy in the Senate. Grundy con-
tributed heavily to the Fisher campaign
in the 1925 primary.
The blind Senator, Schall, of Mime
FASHIONED plea for the seating Of Ware,
who he urged had been duly elected
and was entitled to a seat.
IF we follow this procedure In the
case of Bill Ware" said Senator Schall,
I'VE will soon be turning 'em out be-
cause of the color of their eyes or the
cut of their hair. We should seat this
man. The standing committee of the
Senate says that Wilson was not elected
and that Ware was elected by 10000
votes. If we throw him out now we
will be acting in the spirit of Grundy.
If this is the kind Of progressivism
that we boast Of out West 1t Is all poppy
cock. Bill Ware came up from the
crowd in Pennsylvania. The house of
Ware in that State represents the same
thing to the common people that the
house Of La Toilette represents in
Wisconsin"
The resolution declaring that Mr..
Wilson had not been elected and was
not entitled to a seat was offered by
Senator Reed of Pennsylvania. The
Senate voted at noon first on the Nor
ris resolution and then on the Reed
resolution, In accordance with q unani-
nous consent agreement entered into
just before adjournment late yesterday.
Early Appointment Expected.
Mr.. Ware has not yet announced
whether he will seek vindication at the
hands of the Pennsylvania voters. If
he does decide to enter the list he will
become a candidate for the Republican
senatorial nomination In the primary
next Spring. The Governor OF Pennsyl-
vania is expected to make an early ap-
, pointment to NIL the vacancy in the
! Senate. PENNSYLVANIA has been repre-
sented in the Senate by only one Sena-
| tor. David A. Reed, for practically three
years. Senator Reed has been appoint
ed a delegate to the naval limitation
conference which meets In LONDON In
January. The appointment of another
Pennsylvania Senator will make 1t pos
Sible for him to go to London.
The Ware rejection by the senate to-
day is the climax of an investigation OF
expenditures in senatorial primaries or
dered by the Senate in May, 1875. The
"slush fund committee" which made
the investigation, was headed by for
! mer Senator James A. Reed OF missouri,
Democrat. The committee lnVesti-
gated particularly expenditures In the
Pennsylvania and Illinois senatorial prl-
marieS. Frank L. Smith. VINO won the
Republican nomination for the senate
in Illinois, and later was elected, was
never permitted to take his seat.
