Ohio Congressman Petition the Sen
ate Committee on Privileges and
Elections for ReOpening of the
| Payne Doodle Bribery.
| WASHINGTON, June 3O.-The follow
ing communication from the Republican
members of the Ohio delegation In the
House of Representatives was to-day
filed with the Senate committee on priv
ileges and elections:
| HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,,
WASHINGTON, d c, June 20, SO.
To the Honorable Committee on PriVit
leges and Elections, U S Senate:
GENTLEMEN-The report that your
committee is not disposed to grant an
investigation into the methods of the
election of Henry B. Payne to the Sem
ate of the United States, charged to
have been signslized by bribery, petit
toned for and requested by each house
of the Ohio Legislature, and by repre-
sentative citizens of the state, and de-
manded by large majority in number
and influence of the press of the state,
has produced great disappointment.
There is feeling in Ohio that the
state has been deeply wronged by your
supposed action. The undersigned are
convinced that the facts and records, or
some of them, laid before your honora+
BILE committee by our colleagues, Messrs.
Little and Butterworth, have, in the
press of your other duties, failed to re-
ceive that consideration and weight
which they merit and should have at
your hands. We are informed that ad-
ditional testimony is in the hands of
Messrs. Little and Butterworth, which
they ask an opportunity to present to
you.
We, therefore, as citizens of Ohio, ven
ture 10 request at your hands reconsid-
Grafton of the matter submitted to you.
If there be any matter upon which the
committee desires further information,
we trust an opportunity will be given to
furnish it before final action, in order
that justice and right may be secured.
We take occasion now to join with
our colleagues named in expressing our
belief that if an opportunity be offered
the charge of the Ohio Senate will be
sustained by testimony to your full sat-
isfaction. We have the honor to be, very
respectfully your obedient servants,

No MATTER though every Senator in
the United States took hand in holding
the brush to thickly whitewash Payne,
nine-tenths of the people of Ohio have
made up their minds irrevocably that
his seat was purchased. The people of
Ohio, in the first place, know to GER
tainty that 1t would have been impossi-
BILE to elect such an old fossil as Payne
except through money. Then they know
that the gang who worked the job was
the most rotten In American politics
And, lastly, they are familiar with chap
ter after chapter of absolutely convince
ing testimony of direct bribery. This
firmly grounded conviction of guilt is
not party affair by any means. Only
yesterday, the leading German Demo
cratic journal in Ohio, the Cincinnati
Volksfreund, declared that Payne was
elected by corrupt means. and not an iota
can be changed from that fact."-Cin.

Long Term Congressman.

Ohio followed the Southern precedent
of sending good men to Congress until
their experience made them useful. Sam
uel F. Vinton was elected in 1928 and
re elected to 1887, when he declined a
denomination; re-entered public life in
1S43, and again sat in Congress from that
year till 1851, serving as chairman Of
several important committees. Joshua
r. Giddings, the brave old anti+slav cry
leader, represented the Western Reserve
district of Ohio for twenty years, and
James A. Garfield was returned by the
same district nine times, or for eighteen
years, before his ripe experience in pubs
lie affairs made it possible for him to
decline senatorship for a presidency.
Thomas Corwin was q member of the
House from 1881 till he became Cover
nor in 1910. He was Senator from 1S45
to 1850; then Fillmore's secretary of the
treasury, and in 1858 and 1860 be was
sent to the House again. John Sherman
was representative in the 34th, S5th.
seth and 97th Congresses; was elected a
senator in 1861, 1866 and 1878, and after
forming the backbone of President
Hayes cabinet as secretary of the treas
ury from 1877 to 1881, be fell heir to the
senatorship waived by Presideat-elect
Garfield. Ohio's generosity to brains
gave Samuel s. Cox to New York, for
he represented the former state in the
95th, S6tb, 37th and 3sth Congresses.
New York sent him to the 41st, 42d, 4Sd,
44th, 45th, 46th, 47th, 4sth and 49th Con-
crosses, and he only left the last to be-
come minister to Turkey.-Philadelphia
