lists In the senate, with the vested Inter-
csts writing these outrageous schedules
Of taxation into this law. the Senator
never opened his mouth In opposition to
the oppressive schedules which effect the
things most needed in the homes Of our
people. The farmer was being taxed. ths
laborcr was being taxed. the merchant.
the mechanic, the business man. and yet
the senator with weeks and months Of
time at his disposal during this Discus
sion never rose TO point out TO the sen
ate and To the country these wrongs
that were b-srg attempted upon the
American people upon the things most
needed by them. But not so when Lori

Senator Lorimer who was elected by this
corruption. corruption so Claring and
outrageous that four men. conscience
stricken. who took bgibes went forward
and confessed. duplicating three other
members OF the Legislature who. they
said. corrupted them. making seven IN
all. But Senator Paynter SAYS YOU should
deduct the seven from .he total number

10 his seat No wonder the bcpuhlicaR
kcnate created a place for tho senator
upon the committee Of the Judiciary. a.

the supreme court Of the United States.
FOR the holding that he made I'm my iuda.

anywhere. The idea OF saying that A
man may become candidate FOR office
and may go forth ard hribe the number

announcement of a doctrine that would
undermine nc Republic and make the

distinguished Senator. the doctrine ho
invoked 20 hold Lorimer I'm his seat, fs
10 go ana bribe ~ of the men who are
for him. and then you subtract 90 from

entitled TO the seat. One-h1lf Of the pco-
pie would have been disfranChised and
bribery. brutal. corrupt and impudent
would have triumphed and the member
