Senator Davis Denies Lobbying for Sugar Tariff
Waiving Senate immunity Senator Davis told the Senate lobby committee he never lobbied for or against the sugar tariff nor took money for lobbying. He said reports he received 100000 to 150000 from a sugar company were a contemptible lie and noted he holds Celotex stock but had not discussed the tariff with its president. He acknowledged the company’s interest but claimed he did not know if they wanted a high or low levy.
