GAMBLE TAKES
STRONG STAND
Declares Lorimer Has Right. to
His Seat Under Evidence
Produced

Washington, Jan. 23-In support
of the findings of the subcommittee
of the committee on privileges and
elections that investigated the election
OF Senator William Lorimer of Illi-
nois, Senator Robert J. Gamble of
South Dakota of the subcommittee
today addressed the senate. Gamble
gave a summary of the testimony be-
fore the subcommittee, giving his
view of its hearing as to whether
Lorimer lawfully is entitled to his
seat in the senate. In order to i'll
validate Lorimer's title to membership
Gamble held that it would be neces-
sary to prove that in his election ile
participated in. had knowledge OF or
sanctioned one or more acts Of b. i5-
cry or attempted bribery; that by COR
rupt practices Or through bribery a
sufficient number of votes were ac-
tually voted for him to change the
result of the election"
Not even by prosecution" in the
case. declared Gamble, was it claim
ed that Lorimer participated in any
corrupt practice. The legislature of
Illinois was held up by the speaker
as a body in which corruption has
prevailed. Money had been distribut-
ed after the adjournment but never
had it been shown by any evidence
worthy Of belief, in the opinion of
Senator Gamble, that such funds had
been used for the election of United
States senator.
