Reed's bill keeps Smith out of Senate
The Senate rejected Frank L. Smith of Illinois for the oath of office by a 48 to 33 vote. Reed's substitute directs the Privileges and Elections Committee to investigate Smith's qualifications before any seating. Debate centers on constitutional limits and honesty in politics as crucial factors in admitting a senator.
