against charges of bribery today
when a subcommittee of the commit
tee on privileges and elections of the

investigated by the legislature, once by
the assembly whose committee prac-
tically eXonerated Stephenson and
once by the Senate whose committee
brought charges and demanded Steph-
enson be unseated. Stephenson was
the first witness.
The formal charges against Steph-
enson We're presented by John j. Blain.
of Bescombel. Wis, who as state sena-
tor. made the original charges. Charles
II. Littleheld. counsel for Stephenson,
declared Stephenson was elected jan
uary 26th. 1909. when both houses voted
separately; that he then received IA
majority i'm the House and twelve out
of seventeen votes cast i'm the Senate.
He admitted sixteen other senators
were present at the time but they on
ly responded present" when names
were called.
The charges upon which this in
Vestigation is based refer To the cleo
tion of March 4th. whereas we contend

He contended the charges related TO
the primary election and the committee
had no authority to investigate any
thing but matters bearing directly on
the election by the legislature.
