M,NEAL,s RAW STATEMENT

Joe AlcNeal In his speech at Wewo-
'ka, made one charge that caused Bar
on Munchausen to turn over in his
grave three times. IN denouncing the
Grandfather Clause he made the as
sertion that its strict enforcement
would disfranchise 10000 ex-Conleder-
ate soldiers In Oklahoma. Such an as.
serton would be outrageous II II were
not 50 silly Today in all the states
OF the Union there are not SO Tnany as
10000 ex-Nonfederate soldiers alive m
Oklahoma there are less than 1000,
and II there were 100000 or 100000
in Oklahoma not one OF them would be
lisfranchised by the Grandfather
Clause McNeal quoted the law as
saying that no one who was not vot-
er, or whose ancestors were not vOt-
ars, on the first Of January, 1866. can
vote under the provisions Of the suff-
rage amendment But he left out OF
his quotation the words "or at any
time prior thereto This exception
prevents the law from applying to any
Did soldier The talk OF Mr.. McNeal
causes us to believe that he had never
cad the Grandfather Clause" We
hope that he had not read it. We
would hate to believe that candi-
late for governor Of Oklahoma would
willingly and knowingly misrepresent
md mlsstate the facts.

SENATOR LORIMER
IS INDICATED IN
SENATE REPORT
Investigating Committee Finds
Him Personally BIameIess
of Election Bribery.
WAS SUBMITTED
TO THE SENATE TODAY
Says Not a Scintilla of Evidence
Was Produced Implicat=
ing the Senator.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The report
of the Senate committee on privileges
and elections in the Lorimer case was
presented to the Senate today by ser
ator Burrows.
The report recites that the memorial
filed June Z, 1910, by Clifford w Barnes,
president of the Legislative Voters
League, of Chicago, that "the election
of William Lorimer, senator. from the
State of Illinois, was secured by bril-
berry"
Then follows the instructions of the
Senate, given on June 20, directing the
committee on privileges and elections
to investigate the charges and the fact
that a subcommittee was appointed,
composed of Senators Burrows, Gamble.
Hepburn, Buckley, Frazier, Paynter
and Johnston.
Describes Meeting in Detail.
The meeting in Chicago on September
20 was described in detail, after which
the evidence was taken up and in
terpreted by the committee. In this
regard the committee set forth as a
statement Of facts that Mr.. Lorimer
was elected on May rs. 1909, receiving
10S votes out of 2O2 cast on the Joint
ballot of the Illinois Assembly. These
votes were set out as follows: Hopkins
20, Lorimer 10S and Stringer "a.
The report is divided into chapters,
each carrying a sub-head. Under the
caption Votes Required to Elect" the
committee points out that the question
is raised by counsel whether the Ian
guage of tn statute regulating the
| election of United States senators re-
| quires hat in order to elect a senator
the person elected must receive a ma
jority of the votes of all the members
| elected to ZACH house of the legisla-
ure or whether 1t is sufficient if one
person receives a majority of all the
votes cast in the joint Assembly, "a
majority of all the members elected to
both houses being present n voting"
Committee Concurs with Decision.
The committee report says on this
| subject:
"This question seems to have been
decided by the Senate in the case of
Lapharh against Miller Senate election
cases 697). In that case it was held
that a majority of a quorum of each
house is sufficient to elect, and in that
decision the committee concur
Under the head of bribery" the com
mittee says:
I'm a number of cases that have
been before the Senate of the United
States it has been held that to in
| validate the election of a senator or
account of bribery, it must be made
to appear, either:

JUDGE KRUGER
DENIES CHARGE
OF EXIRAvAGANCE
Makes Reply to Criticism OF
Fire Relief Fund
Work.

Former Judge Gottfried KRUGER to-
cay made public reply to criticism OF
the work of the committee, of which he
Is chairman, that has in charge the
distribution of the relief fund raised
in aid of the High street fire sufferers
He deals particularly with the plant
of a Contributor who questioned the
propriety of hiring an automobile for
the use of the committees investi-
gators, clearly pointing out the neces-
sity and economy Of giving the yoiun-
teer investigators every convenience in
performing their irksome task.
Following is Judge krueger's state
ment in detail:
Judge Krueger's Statement.
THE committee who are charged
with the duty of distributing fund for
the relief of victims of the High street
fire disaster, in meeting held on the
morning of the 10th inst. expressed re-
greet at the publication of a recent un-
called for criticism signed Contributor,
in which exception was taken to the
payment of the sum of $156. rs for auto
mobile hire.
THE mourning of an expense of THU
kind was considered a duty on the part
Of the committee, in order to secure
correct Information as to the conditions
OF the individuals, so as to permit the
giving OF immediate relief where urgent
necessity existed. The inspectors APP
pointed by the committee volunteered
time and service without compensation.
4If paid inspectors were employed
and allowed to use the trolley as a
means OF transportation, the work OF
investigating the hundred and more
cases would have involved a larger
outlay, and the delay in relieving dis
tress would undoubtedly ave provoked
justitiable censure.
Replies to Criticism.
Such criticism as h a offered could
only come from one of the unthinking
class among our citizens. Surely nc
reasonable man would question the
good judgment of the men selected to
perform an oherous duty of this kind.
THE work. the inspectors performed
was preliminary in character, and Is
being followed up by medical examiners
appointed by the committee.
"All of those who were able to appear
before the committee were invited so to
do, and a personal statement has been
secured in each case. No more thor
ough or careful procedure could be
planned in arriving at correct informa-
ton. thai has been decided upon by
the committee. In the distribution of
the fund the judgment exercised in
the matter of affording quick relief
cannot he questioned. 1t is safe to be-
lieve that the final distribution will be
based upon a wise and judicious deci-
sion.
''This statement is made for the bene-
fit Of the subscribers to the fund as
well as to the general public"

CHURCH SCANDAL
INVESTIGATION TO
Be Quietly ENDED
Mount Pleasant Baptist Church
Congregation Discusses Mat
ter at Prayer Meeting.
ACCUSED PASTOR REFUSES
TO DISCUSS THE EPISODE
Deacon James Clare Glad Spirit
of Discord Has De-
parted.

1t is evident from statements made
today by members of the Noun Pleas
ant Baptist Church that there will be
no further investigation into the
charges made against the alleged mis-.
conduct of the pastor, the Rev. w. T.
Sherman Lumbar. At the close of the
prayer-meeting in the church parlors
last night the spirit prevailing among
the members was entirely. cordial and
an impromtu reception was rendered
the pastor at his home, 333 Belleville
avenue. Mr.. Lumbar was presented
with a purse amounting to about $500,
and Mrs. Lumbar received a travelling
bag from the woman's guild.
At the meeting last night, the pastor,
after asking all those that were not
members of the church to leave, told
about his proposed trip to Canada, and
spoke of the charges against him. The
Rev. Mr.. Lumbar said that he still
brands the charges as false, and that
his reason for not making a detailed
explanation is because that was not
necessary as his friends, which means
most Of the members of the church,
believe in him.
Glad Scandal Is Ended.
Following the pastors remarks
Deacon James Clare, superintendent OF
| the Sunday school, said that he was
| glad that the scandal was about tc
| end, as it had caused him a lot of suf-
! fering. Mr.. Clare said that some mem
bers of the church had refused to shake
hands with him, owing to the fact that
ktA~. lol xx4k La@n a ~ of1afol tnHaCfiOQ
ton of the charges preferred by the
Rev. j. B. Phillips. who said that thu
pastor and a young woman, formerly 9
Sunday school teacher, had been guilt,
of indiscretions. The deacon said thai
it was because the officers believed thai
keeping the matter quiet would bes'
help the church that there was no in
vestigation.
When seen at his home this morning
the pastor refused to make a state
ment. "I have no statement to make
, he said. This is a church matter, anc
therefore a private matter. The inter
ests of the church and of religion are
best served by saying nothing"
All shake Hands.
Deacon Glare had this to say: 1.-THE
meeting last night wound up to the
satisfaction of those present. We al
shook hands with the pastor and whei
We left him there was no feeling o,
hatred. I do not think hat there will
be any further action taken by the
officers of the church"
: Although some of the members have
said that unless the scandal is settled,
and either Mr.. Phillips or Mr.. Lumbar
discredited, that they would leave the
church. 1t is believed hat there will
be no split in the congregation. Mr..
Lumbar told the members last night
that they ought to leave him out of
the controversy and just work for the
cause of religion and the church.
