SUlC
TOWNSEND OF MICHIGAN
CLARES WILSON INFLUENCES
MEMBERS FOR TARIFF BILL.
SAYS IT MAY BE ACCIDENTAL
Republicans Hold Recent Denunciation
Will Force Certain Members to Vote
as Chief Executive Wishes All
Deny Being Approached.
Washington, Juno 9. Senator Town
send ot Michigan threw the lobby com
mittee Into an uprour Friday when ho
virtually charged that the methods and
Influence used by President Wilson
nd the Democrats In forcing con
gressmen Into lino on tho tariff bill
constituted tho "nearest approach to
unduo Influence upon mombors of con
gress" that could be found.
Senator Townsend criticized the
committee for not having asked mem
bers of tho senate whether the piesl
dent had sought to influence them, and
declared oven though tho president had
not intended it, his recent denuncia
tion of "lobbies" working in support of
changes in the tariff, would forco cer
tain senators to vote against amend
ments they know to be just.
"Who are thoso senators?" demand--ed
Senator Reed.
"I don't care to name any ono," re
plied Townsend.
The two Democratic members of tha
committee present, Senators Reed and
WaUh, Indignantly resented any lntl
matlon President Wilson had used
'patronage or threats to force any one
to support ihe bill as a whole. Senator
Townsend insisted the committee had
not asked any sonator thus far whetha"
President Vllson had tried to influenca
him.
"I move," Interrupted Senator Walsh,
"that in view of the serious state
ments made touching the executive,
that any senator who has already tes
tified may be recalled and Interrogated
In reference thereto.1'
"I am for that," said Senator Nelson,
and members of the committee agreed.
Dragging President Wilson's tariff
Activities into the investigation some
what Intensified feeling within the com
mittee, and It Ib expected It will make
more searching the Investigations still
to be carried on.
Senator Weeks of Massachusetts,
also a Republican, following Senator
Townsend on the witness atajid, ex
pressed tho opinion that executives had
liad more influence in bills thanrall'thi
persons put togethor who had come to
Washington.
"The statement tho president put
out in regard to an insidious lobby In
fluenced tho public mind," said Senator
Weeks, "and that has its effect upon
the senators. Tho public believes a
lobbyist likes to oppose a measuro if
tho president says lobbyists are seek
ing to change it."
The senate agreed to extend the
time limit for the lobby Investigation 20
days, or until Juno 28. Members of
the committee doubt whether It can
toe completed within that time.
Senator Townsend's statements in
relation to President Wilson were not
In the form of charges. He expressly
said ho did not charge the president
with using Improper methods, but ho
Insisted the charges that lobbies exist
ed and the actllvty of the president in
support of free wool and freo sugar
amounted to an "unduo Influence,"
even though he did not use tho "big
tlck" of patronage.

the banker demurred, with tho result
that tho gentleman told tho bank to
