THE BRIBERY CHARGES
.AGAINST SENATOR CLARK.
MONTANA ARE HEARD.
OK
Both Sides Represented by Eminent
,r Counsel Efforts "to Be Made to
Prove All Charges.
WASHINGTON, D C. Jan. 5 The
senate committee:' on .privileges' and
elections today began its -investigations
of the charges x)f bribery made in con
nection wkh the election of Senator
Clark, of , Montana. The proceeding
were begun by arguments from counsel
on both sides.' Clark bimself was pre
sent with his counsel, former Senator
Faulkner. ' ' :. V; -
K.x-Scnator Edmunds appeared J as
leading counsel for the complainant,
j making the first statement in support of
i the memorial presented 'against Mr..
I Clark. He said -the complainants ex
' peeled to 1e . able to prove all . the
charges made, and to show that Clark's
election was obtained by the liberal use
of money and that large sums of money
were furnished to this end in the con-;
test. He believed the expenditures
rould be trared to dark with due effort
on -the fart of the committee. He said
lie. and his associates had . many . wit
nesses summoned. -1
Edmunds also said; they would enter
jrute thoroughly into the Vhit?ide
libel' case," showing thai when CnnjTbad
an opportunity to. oppose .in. court, he
had refused to answer ,any material,
questions. Whfle Edmunds was mak
ing his statement, a question arose
concerning the admi$silility of. testi
, mony taken : by the grand jury of
I-e'wis and Clarke county. Senator Mc
Comas took occasion o intimate that
be would hesitate to admit the state
ments purporting to violate th sec

Montana, reierrin;? to. . the "Daly
gang,and ' the ' Clark faction" iii the
democratic politics of the state. It
was, he, said, .an; 1 acknowledged fact
that the opponents of Mr. Oark in t-he
state had j determined" to prevent his
political pfeferment, - regardless of all
proprieties 'It would be shown that
not withstanding charges -were madeof
bribery against some 3o persons, in
cluding 38 (members o te legislature,
there had been, no proceedings against
any of the men thus involved in any
of the Montana courts! This was -evidence
that the present proceedings
were not sustained by public sentiment,
j He said the prosecution was "con
ceived f'in the womb of personal m'al
icje, rocked in the cradle of personal
hate and nourished upon corruption
and jealously All members of: the
legislative committee were opposed to
Oark." " I
; Jutlining the defense, Faulkner said
it would si iow that the " -proceedings
against Clark had really had -their ori
gin in the senatorial contest in
when the idea of springing a pretended
exposure of: Clark upon t,he legislature
wa's conceived by the Daly faction, and
that the leader of the faction had turn
ed prophet in December, lKtjH, and de
clared that if Clark showed his head
something would be heard to droj),
and that he would drive Clark out of
the "state. "" -,
Oiher points of the defense were out
liitcd and. the statement was made that,
if ncce-arv. each charge against the
senator ill be met "by direct and
positive proof of Its falsity,' After
hearing these '.preliminary statements,
the committee held .an executive ses
sion to decide nrpon the status of the
papers before it. but after considerable
Siicnsston on the ' jkint-s, ' adjourned
without .action.' Hearing of testimony
