Thomas J. Walsh of Montana, who represented a resolution for a sweeping investigation by a special committee of the United States Senate. Senator Walsh revealed that his attention was drawn to the subject by the writings of Professor William Z. Ripley, of Harvard University, in his book, "Main Street and Wall Street."
