Reconsideration Fails in Senate On Campaign Cap
The Senate approved a 5000 limit on political contributions by attaching an amendment to antipolitics legislation with a 40 to 38 vote. Senator Bankhead of Alabama sponsored the limiting provision and soon won when the reconsideration motion was tabled by 41 to 38. Pepper of Florida led an attack against broadening the Hatch act while Senator Minton warned of delaying votes this month. Pepper’s amendment, defeated 50 to 28, would have let state employees partly funded by federal money participate in campaigns but barred coercion and use of official influence. Pepper argued the bill is not a clear politics measure and lacks broad state support.
