fine their activities to one party. He
said he would cite a case- where Sen
ator Waltm of Montana had approved
of come activities of B. I Doheny
who leased tho Elk Hill naval reserve
at a later time.
Centers on Sinclair
The debute centered lrirlv nitnut
the appointment of Sinclair to the

completely overshadowed today's ses

Wilbur Marsh, former democratic nn.

an agreement with Fred W. Upham,

"I am talking about narrv Sin.

Reoalls Retention
Reverting to his statement trhnf
Sinclair had resigned as New York
racing commissioner "one month" be
fore his term expired. Senator Roto.-
inson said:
"I wonder why he was retained nil
this time? Governor Smith could so
easily have said: 'Mr. Sinclair, you
are uncletan and we Tammany people
are clean. We don't want you.'
,- "There ks no use talking, birds of

the governor of Indinna. whom he
now says he will not defend," the
Kentiickian snid.
"I nm talking about the governor

commission basis to surrender their. :
slate, authority.
Has No "Trouble."

Mr. Kletxlng. I am simply follow-'
ing ta his case and ln all othera lika
it a new policy I, laid down the
