Resolution Seeks Probe of Campaign Financing
Washington July 3 Senator Works of California presented in the Senate a resolution to investigate campaign contributions and expenses. He said Taft's renomination was unjust and urged California needed no new party while the Republican party may fall for the sins of its leaders. The resolution calls for probes of official salaries, campaign finances, newspaper payments, and delegate expenses. The session proceeded without action. Senator Works asserted officials have shifted to political campaigning during public duty. A separate speaker argued a third party cannot be founded on a bolt and advocates reform.
