Worst Methods
Of Ward Politics
WHAT BALLINGER COMMITTEE
MAJORITY SAY.
OF MINORITY ACTION
Six Republican Members Issue State
ture Report Was Political Move.

Chicago Sept. 13.-Six republican
members of the Ballinger investigation
committee met today and issued a
statement condemning the action of
the four democratic members and the
one republican insurgent member who
delivered a report at Minneapolis last
Wednesday. demanding the retirement
from Office of Secretary Ballinger. They
declared the action at Minneapolis of
what they term the minority to have
been according to the worst methods
of ward politics"
The evidence in the Ballinger case
was discussed, but in the absence of a
quorum, they say, no action on the case
itself was possible Adjournment was
taken subject to call of the chairman,
Senator Nelson.
AS the minority" declined to attend
today's conference and adjourned at
Minnea polls until the next session of
Nelson will not call another meeting
until the return of Senator Flint, who,
as the seventh member, would make a
quorum.
The Statement.
The statement in part says:
1T does not need to be said that
such action" that of the minority, in
both form and substance is wholly
lawless, and it leaves it entirely un-
necessary to ask what sort of justice
any public servant could look for
whose character was on trial in such
a proceeding in the excitement of a
political campaign. If there is any
relation between Iawless methods and
the character of the results which they
accomplish, this so-calIed verdict con-
de1nns its authors rather than the Off
cial under investigation
Scheme of the Democrats.
THE report of the committee can
not be made until December ), when
congress meets, and the meeting call
ed for September was for the pur-
pose of considering and discussing
what the report to be made three
months thereafter should be. There
was, therefore. no haste or pressure
for time. The acts of the democratic
minority in taking temporary advan-
tagA of the delay of some members in
reaching the meeting was an effort to
substitute a prearranged scheme for
the orderly deliberations and discus
siOns which the duty of the committee
requires.
The pretended adoption of report
by a political minority and its pubIica-
tion as if it were the report OF COM
Tuittee, exhibited a willingness to sac
rifice the rights and injure the reputa-
tion of the officers Investigated in or
der to obtain supposed party advan-
tage in the pending political campaign.
We cannot reconcile such a course with
our sense of justice and of our duty
