Lynch. representative OF California and
san Francisco, and a professional booster
OF surprising smoothness, 10 largely re-
sponsible for the change In sentiment
which Is going on i'm the house over the

sussive manner and the generous eistribu-
ton OF little round gold buttons Mr.,
Lynch has put a California bloom on every

Mr., Gamble Speaks
in Defense of the
Report on LOrimer
South Dakota senator Analyses Evil
dence Of Committee and Gives Hi
nois Man Clean Bill.

WASHINGTON. Jan. ga supporting
the findings OF the majority of the
subcommittee Of the committee ON
privileges and elections that invcsti-
gated the election OF Senator VIII
liam Lorimer OF Illinois, senator Robert
=. Gamble of South Dakota himself a
member OF that subcommittee, today adj
dressed the senate
Rev ewing The history of the election OF
Mr. Lorimcr and OF the Investigation OF
the charges Of bribery and corruption by
which Il had been brouBht about, MI,
Gamble gave a summary OF the testimony
OF each of those who had appeared be-
fore the subcommittee, analyzing 1t and
giving his view OF It's bearing upon the
issue as to whether MIR Lorme rightfully
and lawfully Is entitled TO his scat in the
senate.
In order to invaldate the title Of Mr.
Lorimer to membership Mr.. Gamble held 1t
would be necessary to show:
That In his election he directly partici-
pated Ia one or more acts OF bribery OF
attempted bribery or had kn9Wleuse @.
had sanctioned and encouraged such act
or acts OF bribery
That by corrupt practices or through
bribery a sufficient number OF votes were
secured In his interest and actually Voteu
for him. and that the number so secured
was sufficient "a chenBe the result OF the
election.
Not even by the prosecution" In the
case. declared Mr. Gamble. was 1t claimed
that MIR. Lorimer directly or indirectly
participated In any corrupt practice ana
no evidence was adduced to connect him
In the most remote degree with bribery.
The legislature Of Illinois was held up
by the speaker as n body In which cor
ruption has prevailed and in which money
has been received by members for unlawful
and unworthy purposes. Funds had been
distributed after adjournment among
those who had been responsible for GER
tain legislation, but never had It been
shown by any evidence worthy, I'm the
opinion OF Senator Gamble, OF belief that
such funds had been used for the election
OF United States senator.
II feel" said the speaker, that II SEN
ator Lorimer be guiltess as regards these
practices and a sufficient number of votes
for the membership who voted for him
were not tainted or corrupted, then he
should not be made to suffer as a result
Of a general practice which appears to
have been In vogue throughout the diff
ferent legislative sessions. as affecting
matters Of legislation solely and disas-
ISOLATED from the election of a United
states senator"
The speaker analysed the vote cast in
the election and argued, citing authorities,
that even the exclusion of the votes cast
for Mr.. Lorlmer and alleged TO have been
tainted would yet leave Mr., LOrimer a
clear majority of one.
