Washington, July 27.
Investigators were sent hustling off to half a dozen states today to ferret out facts from the mire of charges of political corruption while at the same time the Senate Special Committee of Investigate Campaign expenditure met to hear its own investigator's report of conditions in Tennessee, After hearing the first-hand report, the Committee issued this firm statement:
"Apparently every scheme and questionable device that can be used in a political contest to raise funds to influence votes to control election results is in full swing, "Regardless of the action to be taken by the courts for punishment of those who practice illegal methods and those exercising political pressure, there are indications that the Senate may be called upon to consider the probability that excessive money is being used on behalf of the victorious candidate."
The situation was described by Senator David I. Walsh of Massa chusetts as one shot through with "gutter politics."
