RULE Of LACK POT"
POLITICIANS HIT
BY LA TOILETTE
Precedents Like Decision in
Case of Loriner Force
Direct Vote and Recall.

WASHINGTON. May 26-Declaring
that the honor OF the nation Is AT stake
and pleading for an inquiry by hvc new
Senator'S. who have not yet recorded
their sentiments in tho case, Senator La
Foilette Rep'. Wis.,. concluded his
four-day speech on tho Lorimer case
In the Senate to-day. lie predicted that
betrayal OF the public trust Will
hasten the destruction OF representative
government" and cause tho complete
establishment of direct legislation by
the people direct elections, the initit-
tive. the referendum and the recall.
In asserting that neE evidence COM
PEELED the Senate TO make a second In
v~esigation into tho charges that Will
lam Jorimer vas elected TO the Senate
from Illinois by bribery. La Toilette
said in part:
at Is a deeply significant fact that
for seventy years after this govern
ment was established the United states
Senate a never been Inundated by a
call 10 investigate a charge of corrup-
ton In the election OF one OF It's MEM
bers. Since tina, time eleven Senators
have been summoned TO tho bar Of the
Senate 10 defend against tho charge OF
bribery.
"A study Of the ten bribery cases cried
here In recent years discloses the grow
Ing tendency toward establishing prece-
dents which make Il increasingly difn-
cult TO convict. excepting In cases where
tho proof Is overwhelming and motor
ious.
Tho decision IN tho Lorimer oase
makes another of these unfortunate
presidents. In ono aspects II stands
alone--a lur'd page in the history OF
lowered senatorial standards.
Tho abolition Of aucus and CON
ventions and tho nomination OF all can
didates by direct vote, the election OF
United States Senators by direct vote,
the nomination OF presidential candi
dates 10y direct vote, the initiative. the
referendum and the recall-ail these are
out the logical outcome OF the betrayal
OF public trust by public officials.
the recall Will enable the people 10
dismiss from public service a repre-
sentative whenever he shall cease "a
serve the public interest. Then no lack
pot politician can hold his office In de.
nance OF Tho Will Of q constituency
whose commission he has dishonored.
Wherever representative government
falls. II falls because the Representative
proves incompetent or false to his trust.
1~ntrenched In once for his full term.
his constituency IL poweriess and must
submit TO Misrepresentation. At the
expiration Of his service he may be re.
placed by another who will prove
equally unworthy. The citizen is en-.
titled to come check. some appeal. some
relief.
A new turn was given 20 the Lorimer
case to-day when Democratic Senators
declared In. a party caucus called by
Senator Martin. that they would sup
port the La Toilette resolution rather
than cav the conduct OF the proposed
new inquiry with the regular Sena,e
