Grundy Named to Pennsylvania Senate Seat Amid Lobby Probe
Joseph R. Grundy, appointed by Gov. John S. Fisher to fill the late William Ware, arrived in Washington to present credentials as the Senate weighs a lobby probe on Grundy’s role in funding for the tariff bill. Senator Nye plans to seek Grundy’s exclusion over 1926 primary involvement. Grundy aims to run for the May remainder of the term. The Lobby Committee found strong evidence Grundy used funds to influence Republican actions and noted his protectionist ties and wealth from protected industry.
