Borah of Idaho. urging that a sena-
torial Investigation be made.
Committee Would Hear Charges.
Under the amendment proposed by
Senator Hastings Pinchot or any other
person who had evidence that Gov
eminent funds were being used to in
fiuence the election could make their
charges to the Senate Campaign Com
mittee. Presumably, they could ap-
pear before that committee and pro-
duce evidence and witnesses to sup
port their charges.
The charge that relief funds were
used during the 1884 congressional
campaign was made, but that is as
far as the matter went. Republican
Senators, however, believe every pre-
caution should be taken this year to
see that relief funds are not used to
aid in the reelection of President
Roosevelt or of Democratic members
of the Senate.
Senator Hastings has in mind in
Offering his amendment. not only the
possible political use of relief funds,
but also benefit payments made to
the farmers under the pending farm
relief bill. He said this bill, which is
designed to take the place of the A. A.
A. with its old contracts for crop re-
striction, gives the widest latitude for
the expenditure of money. He insisted
that the measure is as unconstitu-
tional as the old agricultural adjust
ment act, whose place it is to take.
But the measure will be passed by
the huge Democratic majorities in
both houses, he is convinced, and will
place in Democratic hands $500, ,O0O,-
600 to be paid to the farmers.
Sees'H Placed Carefully.
There is nothing to prevent the
dumping of this money into doubtful
States, where it may be used to
political advantage" the Delaware
Senator said.
The Robinson resolution directs the
Senate committee, which is to be ap-
pointed by the Vice President, to "in-
vestigate campaign expenditures of the

other FACTS in relation thereto which
would not only be of public interest,
but which would aid the Senate in

deciding any contests which might be

The Hastings amendment would

SUGGESTS THAT ELECTION VOTE
 BE UNA NIM0US
Members of Electoral Col lege Are to Meet in
 Capitals Monday

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Five hundred and thirty-one members of the Electoral College will meet next Monday in their State Capi- tols and vote for President and Vice-President.
 The chances are that Roosevelt and Garner will win by 523 to 8.
 Recent suggestions made that Maine and Vermo mt cast their votes for Roosevelt and Garner, making their reelection unani- nous, have been rejected indig- nantly by some of the electors of those states.
 Electors have a moral obligation to vote for the candidates getting the largest number of the popular votes in their states, but the law allows the electors, however, to vote as they please.

SOME DRUGS ON
 ARCTIC BOUND
 FOR TERRITORY
Ummel Reports Controver- sy to Be Taken Up with Seattle Unions Today STRIKE COMMITTEE
 ISSUES STATEMENT
Declares Some Wholesale Drug Stores on Unfair
 List Tn Seattle

SEATTLE, Dec. 12.-There are some drugs on the Arctic, which sailed for Alaska Thursday night, and J. R. Ummel, purchasing agent, said the controversy over drugs being loaded on Alaska relief ships was being brought before the un- ions today.
 The difficulty in shipping drug supplies to Alaska is attributed to the wholesale drug strike in Se- attle and also to labor troubles in Portland wholesale houses.
 Statement
 The Northwest Joint Maritime Strike Committee in a statement today on the matter said:
 Union men have not refused to handle any type of cargo bound for Alaska during this emergency but they have on some occasions re- fused to handle cargo regarded as unfair by other Seattle unions. There are numerous fair wholesal- CTS and distributors of all kinds in Seattle and if Alaska merchants will take care to order their goods from fair sources there will be ab- solutely no difficulty"
 Freight on Arctic
 Ummel said the Arctic carried 3,200 tons of freight. She has a listed gross tonnage of 4,297. The Gen. w. c. Gorgas is listed at A. 636 gross tonnage and will carry about 325 passengers, including steerage. She hopes to clear for the north Monday, Ummel said.
 The Arctic is reporteed to have 900 tons for Juneau.

Business LOue F. D. R.?
 Neu Issues WiU Tell
By BYRON PRICE Chief of Bureau, the Associated Press, Washington

The aura of better understand ing which suddenly has enveloped the field of government business relationship is becoming by all odds the most interesting phenomenon visible in the political heavens.
 To this development MT. Roose- welt, on his side, has contributed notably. The tone and setting of his statement on unemployment, and his readiness to release Dr. Tugwell from his circle of official advisers, are but two of several factors tending to eliminate busi- ness fear, distrust and dislike of Washington
 On the side uI business, how ever, the signs are even more con- spicuous. Every day brings some new manifestation that opposition to the President in important bus mess quarters is weakening, that business confidence in that period of the future which will be spann- ed by the second Roosevelt admin istration is increasing.
 No one can fail to realize that this trend, if continued. VII be of the very first importance. The ill feeling which grew up between Washington and the business world not only has provided most of the bitterness of the past, but it has been regarded widely as definite deterrent to recovery. Its elim- ination, or even it's appreciable permanent subsistence, would be epochal news indeed.
