After agreeing to a series of committee amendments without record rotes, the senate approred 50 to 34 a committee amendment objected to by Walsh of Montana, author of the resolution, confin ing the Inquiry into political con tributions to those made in the alections of president, rice presi dent and members of the senate. Amendment Put Up Senator . George, democrat.

Talk Hoar Apiece Five senators held the floor for as many hours, two - inveighing against a senate investigation, of the financing of public utilities corporations and three vigorously arging the adoption of the resolu tion to that ' end proposed by Senator Walsh, democrat, Mon tana. Opening the - debate, Senator Bruce," democrat, Maryland, in his usually vigorous style,, warned the jenate that if the "mania for In vestigation kept up there would be nothing eft to investigate but the investigators.' ; Turning on Senator Walsh, the Marylander told him he seemed to get "the same kind of pleasure In Investigation that some men get in intoxication." r "He is like a tiger that tastes human blood and then becomes a man eater for the rest of his life," Bruce said while the Montanan smiled - at - him from across - the chamber. - Glass Defends Inquiries As the senate session wore on into the night, after several unsuc cessful moves to force a recess Glass, democrat, Virginia; chal lenged .the earlier remarks of Bruce as to the "investigation gaania" of the'senate. ; The Maryland senator s "un kind and vitriolic tongue lashing1 of Senator Walsh, the Virginian said had even "gone so far as to assume that the senator from Mon tana Is playing the presidential game here in the senate." He de-" clared that Bruce at the begin ning of the senate Investigation of forjner Attorney General Daugh erty had been found in admeasure "defending Daugherty." ' Bruce Interrupted to repudiate any "statement that he had done more than demand "a decent, or derly and fair proceeding r In : the i clash : which. followed, with both senators shouting at each other as they stood in the same i row their voices were lot in the thunder of the gavel wielded by Senator Moses of New Hamp shire. - Calvin ought to be given a spe cial monument by pcterity as one man who busted up a chain-letter schejB before it started.

After that date the schedule declines more than 10 per cent and accordingly it be hooves every candidate to get busy and do his- or her .utmost to se cure as many subscriptions as pos sible in the first vote period, be cause after that date it will re quire more subscriptions to se cure the same number of votes thanNt will now. Contest head quarters will be open till 10:00 o'clock Saturday night and in or der to make it fair to all no mat ter where they reside, candidates may hand in their subscriptions up to that hour or place them in the mall box where they live not later than 10 p. m. on that date, and the date -on the post mark will be accepted as evidence. Only a Few Days Only a few days and the biggest vote schedule will have gone on to the past. Those candidates who spend their time wisely during the next three days, today, Friday and Saturday, will enjoy a feeling of great satisfaction of having avail ed., themselves of a liberal oppor tunity and its limitless possibility to gain votes necessary to land the motor cars and the biggest of the prises. The stage is set today, tomor row and Saturday and is expected to determine, in a large measure, Che big winners. The few hours that remain will be taken advan tage of by practically every one of the. live candidates, for much can be accomplished! in the : time that Is left. ' Every Minute Counts Every minute counts during the last Tew days of the first vote of fer. Every time the hands of the clock revolve, the chance of amass ing scores of votes slip by, and it seems to be the consensjrf of opin ion that no hour will pass by too ay tomorrow or, Saturday, but that will show gratifying results for most candidates. The knoweldge that the last few hours are about to pass has spreadTthroughout The Statesman territory and much hur ry is in evidence everywhere.

Mrs. George Tucker is so keen at getting subscription votes that 3he not only thinks rotes all day long, but when the spirit mores her, she gets the contest editor out of bed early In the morning and late at night to explain the details o that she won't miss one single vote. She is some business woman. this young lady. We admire her so-getting spirit. MARSHALL TYPE BERRY TO BE IN BIG DEMAND (Continued from pag 1.) This concern has been buying barreling strawberries of the com ing crop in this district. They have already bought outright the product of 800 acres. These are of course not to be included in the deals that may be made on the cooperative offer. The Hunt Bros. Packing com pany rhas announced an offer to take barreling berries on a 4 cent pound advance, and to go 50-60 with the growers on final sales in processed form, after expenses 3hall have been deducted. These offers by two of the big gest strawberry packers in this district, which means in the Unit ed States, will no doubt lead to other offers that will assure that no strawberries will go unpicked n this territory this year. That is very Important. , It will mean an ' expansion of the industry in this field in future years, through the new outlets for the processed berries, that wljl be developed. - Fortunately, most of the 5,400 bills .Introduced in the House on he opening day of ' congress will ae.ver be heard from.

The quirk comes when Mr. Bolton ac tually calls for bids n tiie money he has received from the goods. And, so long as the money lasts, it Is sold In lots of 85 or smaller for as low as two cents on the dol lar. Preposterous? No, it actual ly happens and a number of visit ors at the exposition have found themselves possessed of two, three, four, or five silver dollars (or maybe a "greenback") where before they had a few small pieces of change. This stunt is original with Mr. Bolton and, no doubt, is one rea son why even the kiddles are car rying home news about the better homes exposition.
