THE wH1TEwAsHING
OF LORIMER

The report Of the Senate committee
on Elections ON the Lorimer case. u
OF the withdrawing type. Senator
Lorimer received 10s votes in the joint
assembly Of the Illinois Legislature
the number necessary to elect. was l02
-Four members Of the Legislature adj
mitted tho receipt Of bribes to vote fol
Lorimer. and three others were &C.
cused Of having bribed them. With
the votes Of these seven members re-
1scted. Lorimer would fail OF the
receipt Of the necessary number 70,
election.
4 The task before the committee, In
order to seat Lorimer. was to acquii
these seven members. even the -four
who confessed. It could not convict
the four who admitted having beer
bribed and at the same time acuuii
the three alleged bribers. The com.
znittes was. therefore. compelled either
to 20 the whole hog. or to unseai
Lorimer. Il took the former course
declaring that 'those who confessed
- receiving brides should not be be-
1ieved. and that the votes Of those who
were charged with paying brides
should be counted"
The four who confessed. are acuuit-
ted because Of "the candor or want OF
candor Of Witnesses. and the commits
tee accuses one Of them. called "the
chief Of those self-accusers''. Of ''cor-
ruption throughout his legislative ca
reer" and Of having conceived the plan
OF bribery cas- means for extorting
money from Senator Lorimer." AS to
the. other three. the committee finds
mo warrant for believing that either
one was moved by any corrupt influ-
ence.' The committee also acquits
Lorimer of Implication Gin any per-
sonal act OF bribery or attempted bri-
berry," t
The entire case turned upon the evil
-dence Of the four who confessed: II
was necessary to acuuit them even In
the fact Of their own discriminating
evidence which was given with a con-
vincing wealth OF detail as to time,
place and surrounding conditions. Il,
is somewhat Of novelty to find q
trial body rejecting a plea Of guilty
and substituting therefor a Judgment
of mot guilty" II such procedure
should become a binding precedent |,
prosecutions for bribery would become
utterly useless. for 1t is generally
through confessions only - called
Estates evidence"-that convictions
can be secured.
One member Of the committee dis
scented from the WITHDRAWING verdict.
He IL satisfied that the four were
bribed. that the three were guilty of
bribe-giving. that there were thus
''seven tainted votes. and therefore
Lorimer was not legally elected.
The report Of the majority Of the
committee will. we Judge. take rank
IS beating the record In the white
washing art. %

The Hartford Courant finds from its
analysis Of the official returns Of the
November election. that 26.O03 Repub-
licans are not accounted for. that
'they didn't vote at alT' and that
they represent about one-quarter of
the normal strength Of the party in
the S.Ate.'
There are two methods by which
voters express their disapproval of
their party's policies or acts. One,
the more effective Of the two. is to
vote the opposing party's ticket: had
the non-voting quarter Of the normal
Republican strength. done so, its re-
buke to its party would have been
4uiIy effective. The other method is
adooted by 26.o0s voters. and as this
course caused the election of all Re-
publican candidates for State offices
below Governor. the unrepentant lead
ers are enabled to claim. as does the
Courant. that these stay-at-home vot-
ers are still Republicans ''who merely
stood off this time to see"-that is.
they may be counted upon to support
the party in the future. whatever its
policies or acts.
II we mistake not. the Republican
leaders must walk straighter than ever
before, If these 26.O03 voters are to
be won back. Independence may be
called a progressive attribute. with a
strong tendency to become chronic.

Hon. NJ. II. Rogers Of this city. Re-
publican nominee for Secretary OF
State. ran 81 over Blakeslee for Lieut.
Governor. and 8 over Lippitt for Treas
urer. but 357 behind Bradstreet for
Comptroller and 314 behind Light for
Attorney General. His vote is but 80
above the average for the five candi-
dates below Governor.
It Is evident from these facts that
his activity In enforcement OF the
automobile law did not pay the large
dividend in the country towns votes
which was expected and predicted.
