The coinmlttee which called upon council men this morning was composed of Walter B. Miller, Fred G. Fotrce, A.

Working out this way, the situation might cause the to lose the Vare case, but they would gain a vote In the pending tariff flghs, in which they need every vote: they can get. This method accepted because it appeared to be the only way out of the tangle developed when Senator Norris, the farm bloc Republican, unexpectedly introduced yesterday a resolution of highest privilege, proposing to deny Vare his seat because of his $800,000 primary campaign expenditures In, 1928, which the resolution said constituted "fraud and corruption."
