Show CHECK PUT UPON "LOOSE . TALK BY THE SENATORS Outburst Over the Mexican Situation Squelched by Emphatic Disapproval of Senators on Both Sides. Washington. Another threatened outburst in the senate over the Mexican Mexi-can situation on Saturday was squelched by emphatic disapproval from Republicans and Democrats, who jcined in declaring that the senate should not by discussion lend weight to any efforts to intensify feeling in Mexico. After Senator Smith of Michigan had opened the subject by declaring that the constitutionalist junta here had the ear of the state department and was influential in bringing about the resignation of Embassador Wilson, Senator Williams of Mississippi replied re-plied with the charge that there was an "organized and syndicated effort" to bring about war with Mexico. He declared "there was money behind it and not all Mexican money." "Senators must hold themselves in check," said Senator Williams. "As we read many of the metropolitan newspapers, there is a sameness of statement, expression and opinion in certain effort behind it. It is time we should pause. I don't feel even brave when talking about war with Mexico, a country disrupted, broken and torn with dissension. This question ques-tion is too important to be discussed here for any personal advantages, for any small advantage to any persons." Senator Crawford and Kenyon joined Democrats in declaring the senate sen-ate should not by its, discussion lend weight to the efforts to intensify the Mexican feeling. |
