"Fourth-Our fourth proposition. that
through bribery Of the members OF the
legislature Mr.. Clarks election was Sc
cured. is established by the evidence that
money was paid in return for the votes
! OF senators and members (whose names
/ are given, as well as by the lack of
proof Of any reason why other represent
/ atives, elected upon a ticket which bound
I them to vote for Mr.. Conrad for United
/ States senator, should have defeated the
| will Of their constituents by voting for
Mr. Clark, and the further lack Of any
/ satisfactory explana ton of a sudden
change Of votes o fthe eleven RepubH-
cans who on the day OF his election cast
their ballots fer him. It is certain that
but for these corrupt ballots he could not
have been elected
"Fifth-Our fifth proposition. that Mr.
Clark iagrantly violated the statutes of
Montana in securing his election. is es
tablished by the statutes and Senator
Clark's admissions
In conclusion, we submit that the evil
dence. taken as a whole, establishes cor
ruption in this election of a senator IN
parallelled in recorded presidents. and
conduct which, if justified. would bring
shame and disgrace upon the institutions
Of our country"
