TRIBUNE Lom] BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1926 Washington, fee. 16.—(NEA)— “Bull-dog Tom” Walsh, the hero of Teapot Dome, is on ‘the warpath again, His sudden challenge of the fit- ness of Arthur R. Gould of Muaine'to sit in the senate was so unexpected that some of his Democratic col- leagues are wondering if he is mere- ly seeking to settle a question of the senate’s right to expel in such a case, or if he isn't perhaps laying some groundwork for the fight Democrats are ex- pected to make against the seating of William S. Vare Pennsylvania and Frank L. Smith of Minois next year. As he made his speech on behalf of his resolution for a committee in- | vestigation of the Gould charges, his |desk was piled high with reference books, from which he read rather copiously in order to forestall the counter-attack of the Republicans, }led by Senator David A. Reed of | Pennsylvania. He argued as a judge | might deliver a charge to the jury, citing some precedents favorable to | his case and some that were not. | A Striking Figure The Montana senator makes a | striking figure as he stands arguing | questions of law and precedence. No man in the chamber is better in- formed on these subjects than he. His immaculate _ appearance—he wears a frock coat and dark gray | mustache add the impression he seeks to make as he dwells on the “pro- found importance” of the question at issue. Walsh himself says that the fate of Gould isn’t important—it’s the principle of the thing. Can the senate fire Gould under the circumstances and if not, then what? , He has taken pains to point out that even if Gould went out, his Democratic opponent in the recent election would not sue- ceed him. It is not difficult to believe Walsh when he says that his prime motives ’s knowledge of constitutional i law most other sorts of law—and his ability to handle them—@re mous. In the old days in Monta his legal brilliance was the astonish- ment of high-priced and supposedly superior lawyers imported from the east for important cases. He fought the copper interests bit- terly on many a corporation lawyer. Until the time he came to the sehute, most of the labor legislation passed in Montana had been drafted by Walsh. Always he was ‘Noted for the ‘bull- dog tenaciousness with which he later went after and uncovered the oil scandals. Before he entered pol tics he was especially noted for his knowledge of mining law. Today, there probably is not an- other man in Congress whose office i near as many s.

To this the right parties shouted: “Traitor! Bhackguard!” Pointing to the diplomatic box in which foreign representatives, includ- ing American Ambassador Schurman, were , the nationalists cried: ‘Why reveal these things to our ‘enemies?” Then they left the cham- be Herr Scheidemany, who was leading @ socialist attack d_at the over- throw of the Marz cabinet, replied that the allies knew all about the “rotten militaristic conditions in Ger- many,” and added: “We might as well correct these conditions our- selves #5 have the allies act for us.” larx Chancellor Marx, replying to 0| Scheidemann, denied the latter's ac- cusations that government funds were ‘being diverted ille~ally for militarist purposes. He declared that the rei: wehr was considered a dependable in- ‘strument for safeguarding the state. He aise stated thet Scheidemann’s charges Sopartinr joarding of arms and illegal militaristic organi- zations referred to conditions of years ago but which were nonexist- ent now. . Chancellor Marx intimated that his cabinet wes now through with at- tempts to bring socialists into the coalition government. e Close followers of the political sit- uation expressed the opinion later that the position of the cabinet now appears more secure. wor| Wage Attachments Talooed in Omaha Over Xmas Season i pe pata Omaha will not be deprived of theit share of Yuletide cheer by creditors) thei who would pase pr’ bie a 2. ir courts Papen during the jamison to ere cornet .
