Tho Washington correspondent for
the St Louis Republic, under date of
Jan. 4, say3: "Thomas Lawson's rev
elations upon 'Frenzied Finance' may
lead to a chapter or two of animated
politics by virtue of a resolution in
troduced into the S'enate today by Sen
ator William J. Stone. Citing Law
son's last article, calling attention to
tho charges made by Judge Alton B.
Parker at the close of tho campaign,
and referring to mention of the sub
ject in the President's message, the
junior senator from Missouri demands
that the judiciary committee of the
senate investigate the expenditures of
national committees in recent cam
paigns, and that the committee report
to tho Fifty-ninth congress, by bill
or otherwise, 'the legislation said
committee may deem necessary to sup
press bribery and corruption in such
elections.' The purpose of the senator
in introducing the resolution, it is
understood, is'to put the democratic
party upon 'high moral ground' as to
the U3e of money in general elections.
"In its preamble the resolution de
clares that Lawson specifically charges
that he conspired with other well
known capitalists to raise funds for
the republican candidates in 1896.
"Then the Parker-Roosevelt incident
is recited, when National Chairman
Cortelyou wa3 charged with receiving
campaign contributions in larer& sums
from corporations money 'contributed
oy or extorted from numerous trusts
and corporations, to be used to influ
ence the election then ensuing.'
"The preamble ends:
" 'Whereas, the President in hi3 last
annual message, sent to -congress on
December 6, 1904, took official cogniz
ance of the growing tendency to cor
rupt the electorate, and did in direct
terms recommend the enactment of a
law against bribery and corruption in
federal elections; therefore,
" 'Resolved, That the judiciary com
mittee of the senate be and is hereby
authorized, empowered and direated
to make inquiry into the matters -
ed in the foregoing preamble and also
generally Jnto the subject of the use
of money in federal elections, so as
to ascertain, as far as possible, the ex
tent of the evil, and to report to the
senate at the first session of the Fifty-ninth
congress, by bill or otherwise,
the legislation said cpmmittee may
deem necessary to prevent or suppress
bribery and corruption In such elec
tions. Said committee may sit during
the vacation of the senate, and shall
have authority to send for Hm-armo nT1
'papers and to compel the attendance
ot witnesses.
"Senator Stone will call up the reso
lution in a few days and will make a
speech upon it. The subject probably
will 3tart something,' in view of the
charges made by Parker, and the
warm reply by Roosevelt during the
closing hours of the campaign.
"'Lawson has specifically stated"
said Senator Stone today at the cap
itol, 'that a fund of SR.ftnn nnn
raised to 'swing five doubtful states.'
Parker made direct charges against
Cortelyou, and they are not - with
drawn, and in his reply, the president
admitted tfiat contributions were re
ceived. In his message the president
dechv d for a remedy and. though
that message is now a month old, noth
ing has been done.
