gusted at the way the thing has been
run. selected Robert NJ. LaFollette. the
present governor as United States
senator. He received 10I votes out of
1873. The governor acknowledged the
high honor, but said that he had been
chosen by the people to see that Ger
tain legislation was enacted, and if the
legislature did not carry out these re-
forms, he would not take the senator
ship.
LaFollette is vigorous and earnest

popular. but he persevered in il. When
the national convention met, the cor
porations obtained the ear of the re-
publican national committee and pro-
nounced against his policy and his
claim. He was opposed by the two
United States senators. and by pretty
nearly every man of prominence in the

The members of the committee re-
piled. After the speeches a resolution
was introduced expeIling Mr.. Conner
ford and was passed by vote con
siderably exceeding the two-thirds vote
necessary.
However this summary action may
be viewed by the members Of the house.
there are those who will look upon it
with establishment. Mr.. Comerford was a
new member of the house, and his in
tentions, to say the least, were not
corrupt. and the effect of his charges.
admitting they were not proven, could
not be corrupting nor detrimental to
the state Therefore. to deprive duly
elected member of his seat and his. con
stituency of their duly chosen repre-
sentative, may present itself TO some as
an arbitrary exercise of power. and can
not be considered vindicatiOn of the
members who assumed themselves
charged with corruption. The better
way would have been for these mem
bers and the house to conduct legis-
lative business during the present ses-
sions so as to free the FOrty-thire
general assembly so far as the house
is concerned from such suspicion of
ton.
To shackle free speech, or to punish
it even under aggravating circun-
stances. is a menace to free institu-
tons Mr. Comerford's expulsion, it is
10 be hoped, will not prevent con-
scientious representatives nor deter a
courageous and independent press
from denOuncing graft and holding up
grating to public scorn wherever it is
discovered.
The Springfield Register declares it
cannot see that the house has purified
itself. if there is any corruption in it's
midst. or elevated its standing with
the people of the state. or added TO its
dignity by expelling Mr.. Comerford.
How far the people in general and
those of Mr.. Comerford's constituency
in particular will indorse the action of
the Legislature remains to be seen.
