May Subpoena Mckinley TO Tell
Of Election Bribery.

If Mr.. Lentz's seat is contested it

matter, and Mr.. Hanna can evade ser
vice only by leaving the country
President Mckinley, Senator Hanna
and General Dick will Be forced to tes-
tify as TO their knowledge Of the cor
rupt means used To defeat Mr.. Lentz.
It is believed that not less than $4,000
was spent in this district for that puT-
pose. By far the greater part of this
sum went for the purchase of votes. So
much money was used that it became a
public scandal. The ward heeIers and
professional politicians who always
handle money in elections had their
share, but other men of hitherto reput-
able life and character are also accused
of using this money.
Whenever possible the services Of
Democrats were purchased. The sum
of money named seems almost ridicu-
lousy large, but when it S stated that
one clique is said to have received 4
500, another $1,000, dozens of men
moneys ranging from 800 to $3.50, and
every heller in this city who could be
purchased not less than S25 it may be
readily seen where such a sum could
be used. Early Wednesday morning,
when it seemed certain that Lentz had
been defeated, General Dick permitted
himself to give way 10 the personal
animOsity he had held against Lentz
since the latter so signaly WOrsted him

In a speech delivered to the Repub-
licans who listened to the returns at

Chicago Chronicle.)


Columbus, o., Nov. S.-A contest with
attendant features of a sensational
character is promised in this congress
sional district. Emmett Tompkins. the
Republican candidate, claims is cleo
ton by plurality of eight. and Con-
gresham John J. Lentz claims to be re-
elected BY a plurality of eleven. The
official count of Fairfield, the other
county in the Twelfth district, shows
plurality Of 1.13S- for Lentz. The Of
fetal count of FRANKLIN county, com
pleted at late hour tonight, shows
plurality for Tompzins of almost the
same figures, and gives him plurality
of six in the district. Since Mr.. Tomp-
kins has been declared elected ii is
fairly certain that the seat will be con-
tested by Mr. Lentz, in spite of the fact
that the lower house Of congress, from
the present returns, bids fair to be
strongly Republican, and, therefore,
biased and partisan in Judgment on
contested election cases.
If the contest is ordered by congress
the first three witnesses that Mr.. Lentz
VIII summon for examination before the
bar Of the house viii be President Nc
Kin!ey, Senator Hanna and General
Charles Dick Attorneys are now eX-
aiming the statutes to ascertain
whether the president can be compelled
to answer to a subpoena issued in
case of this kind. 1t is believed that
he viii be forced to confront and tes-
tify as to his knowledge of the means
used to defeat Lentz.
Every possible means WILL of course,
be made use of to save the president
this humiliation. But unless the right
guaranteed by The constitution in such
cases is denied to Mr.. Lentz it is en-
tirely probable that the president Will
be forced to answer.
As for Mr.. Hanna and General Dick,
there is no doubt that they can be
forced to testify in a ma tier of the
kind, despite the fact that Mr.. Hanna
refused to obey subpoenas issued by
the state senate in 1898 which called
upon him to testify as to any knoWl-
edge he might possess of the open and
baTefaced bribery which then procured
him his election to the senate He then
evaded service by staying out Of the
state.
