Who the Principals Are.

Senator Broderick, democrat, is a we'll
known Chicago politician. He was elected
to the state senate in 1sas and has served
IN the upper branch OF the legislature
continuously since that time.
Senator PeTnbcrton is ono of the best
known members of the legislature He
served his first term in 1896 and during
the 1907 session acted as president pro
tenn. Of the senate
Representative Joseph S. Clark figured
prominently in the investigation, follow
Ing the confession of Representative
White in the senatorial bribery case. He
is lumber dealer Of Vandalia and a
member of many fraternal organizations
Senator HOlstlaw is also one Of the
prominent members of the senate. He
has taken an active part in the proceed
ings of the upper branch and is known
throughout the state. He is Il director
of several state banks.
The furniture deal dates back to the
regular session of the forty-fifth general
assembly. when Representative l.. X.
Pierson of Wilmettc introduced a bill
providing for new chairs and desks for
representatives hall and the senate
chamber The measure was passed, but
vetoed by Gov Deneen on recommends
ton of Secretary OF State Rose. who in
sisted the new furniture was not needed.
Representative Pierson renewed the
light Ill Tile -SiAtH SeHSl oil cSSe1iiAOAy
resolution was introduced carrying an
appropriation of $4,000 and providing for
a commission which subsequently was
named as follows:
Secretary of State Rose. chairman:
Senator's S. c. Pemberton and D. w.
Holstlaw, and Representatives L. J. Pier
son and J. c. Clark.
Bids Not Advertised For.
Records of the commission show that
bids were not advertised for. but Repre-
sentative Pierson, who acted as secre-
tary for the commission, wrote to several
firms asking for prices and samples
January 10 last the commission met and
awarded the contract to the Ford ana
Johnson Company Of Chicago. for which
concern the Johnson and Hatcher Furn1-
ture Company Of Springfield acts as local
agents.
Otto Freir OF Chicago was agent for
the Ford and Johnson Company. With
A. 3. Johnson OF Springfield, l/cal agent,
he concluded negotiations.
Ford and Johnson submitted the highest
prices for desks, being $40 more each
than the figures submitted by the Derby
Desk Company of Boston. The contract
provided for the payment of $4,000 upon
installation of the furniture, the contract
for which doubtless now will be attached
because of the corruption charged.
States Attorney Burke heard OF rumors
of corruption in connection with the con-
tract. and wove a net of evidence in which
Senator Holstlaw was caught when he de-
MED knowledge of a meeting held in
Springfield relative to the contract and a
letter written by Holstlaw to j. w. Knox,
agent for the Derby Desk Company.
After Senator Holstlaw had testified the
first time before the grand jury States
Attorney Burke produced the letter Hoist
law had denied writing. Because of al
legged Justification of evidence Holstlaw
was indicted for perjury.
