SENATE HALL
Thunderous c horus OF
"Ayes" Admit
Grundy

WASHINGTON, Dec. l3-tP-
Joseph r. Grundy, who never had
any objection TO being termed a
lobbyist, today was a member OF
the senate. privileged to use both
vote and voice in advancing the
cause which lies closest TO his
heart-the enactment OF high tar
If legislation.
A resolution 10 eject the veteran
Pennsylvania politician from the
senate seat which he assumed only
yesterday awaited disposition by a
perplexed senate elections commit
tee. the chairman OF which, thro-
ughout the debate on Grundy's ad-
mittance, repeatedly asked what ne
was expected TO do with the meas
ure.
Sworn In
Appointed by Governor Fisher OF
Pennsylvania to the seat left vac
ant by the senate's refusal TO ac-
cept William S. Ware. Grundy re-
ceiyed the oath OF office last night
at dusk.
His qualifications for office were
challenged by senator Nye Of lgorth
Dakota, an independent Western
republican, with the introduction
Of the resolution. but at the close
OF nearly four hours OF debate, the
senate. with a thunderous chorus
OF ayes" admitted the Pennsyl-
vanian 70 its ranks and sent the
Nye proposal to the elections COM
mittee.
Tariff Snag
The objection to Grundy was
based upon his long record OF con-
s.stent efforts to obtain high tariff
laws and upon the famous 1896
Pennsylvania primary election, in
which Ware and Fisher, running on
opposition tickets. won the repub-
lican nominations for the senate
and the governorship.
Debate brought from the few
senators opposed to seating Grundy
the opinion that If Ware was dis
qualified by excessive expenditures
in the primary. then so was Fish
er. whose ticket spent more than
that Of Ware, and on this ground.
they argued. the Grundy appoint
ment was morally invalid.
