Burton Tops List of Tariff Champions in Senate Inquiry
Senator Burton of Ohio submitted the longest list of tariff champions examined by the senate lobby inquiry, showing more than a score of Ohio names. He said none were lobbyists, only interested citizens presenting arguments openly, and blamed telegrams rather than interviews for improper influence. Senator Ashurst called MacMurray the smoothest lobbyist, and noted he pushed Indian contracts for personal gain. The committee prepared to hear President Wilson's possible information on lobbying, with Overman and Reed meeting the president before testimony.
