Prediction

Democratic Senator Thaddeus H. Caraway of Arkansas last week made a prediction: if Republican Senatorial Nominees Ruth Hanna McCormick of Illinois and James John Davis of Pennsylvania are elected next November, the Senate will deny them seats on the ground of excessive campaign expenditures. Senator Caraway was the first Senator to formalize this speculative subject in a definite prophecy. Congresswoman McCormick's expenditures so far approximate $325.000. Some $300,000 was spent on the G. O. P. ticket headed by Secretary of Labor Davis. The Senate virtually set a campaign expenditure limit of $195,000 in the case of Michigan's Newberry (1922). Senator Caraway jibed that if Mrs. McCormick and Mr. Davis were elected and seated, the Senate would owe an apology to William Scott Vare and Frank Leslie Smith, Pennsylvania's and Illinois' famed Senators-reject.
