The other case was that of John
Smith, a Senator Of Ohio, in 1908.
Smith was suspected of completely

and resolution was introduced into
the Senate to expel him. The prin-
cipal evidence against him was that
of Colonel James Taylor, who tes-
iified that Smith, 10 conversation

about a separation Of the Union.
Upon the resolution to expel him
the vote stood nineteen to ten, being
but one short Of two-thirds required
by the Constitution. 1t was, how
ever Sufficient, for Smith disappeared
from the Senate, and 10 a few days
