Während seiner Zeit im Senat stand er mehreren Ausschüssen vor, unter anderem dem Postausschuss. 1923 wurde Charles Townsend in die International Joint Commission berufen, die den Auftrag hatte, Unstimmigkeiten zwischen den Vereinigten Staaten und Kanada über die Nutzung der gemeinsamen Grenzgewässer zu klären.
