SAYS TAFT SENT CABLES AT 52 CENTS A WORD. Corrupt Practices Discussion Brings Back Memories of the Past. Washington, Sept. 6.—While the sen- ate was waiting today on the revenue bill conferees, the Owen corrupt prac- tices bill was taken up and made the vehicle for several hours of acrimoni- ous political debate. Democratic and republican senators indulged in per- sonal exchanges and regaled their fel- low senators with accounts of cam- pain contributions and the rewards given some contributdrs in the past. The vote to take up the bill was 32 to 14, nine republicans voting with the majority to consider the measure and several democrats voting against it. Senator Owen, its author, tonight can- celled a speaking engagement tomor- row before the Ohio democratic con- vention to remain here to fight for its adoption. Tt probably will be taken up again before noon tomorrow and the Oklahoma senator intends to keep it before the senate until a vote is se- cureq or, what is more probable, ad- journment is forced by the leaders. Senators Curtis of Kansas, repub- lean, and Ashurst of Arizona, demo- crat.’ furnished the excitement of the day’s debate in an interchange which looked for a few minutes as if it might result in a personal encounter.
