United States Senator from Wise

or try to prevent the adoption of the
resolution. Accordinly, Senator Bod.
enstab simply voiced mild protest
against the adoption of the resolution
and most of the other supporters OF
Stephenson absented themselves from
the chamber when the roll was called
on the adoption of the resolution.
Lieutenants Abandon Hope.
Lieutenants of Senator Stephenson
have flocked around the legislative
chambers for several weeks in the
hope Of framing up some plan to de.
feat the passage of the resolution
asking for federal senate probe
They could not think of any way in
which to accomplish that and were
forced to stand helplessly by and
watch the resolution adopted.
The assembly is expected to act on
the resolution about the middle OF
next week. Unless sentiment changes
greatly, the assembly will concur in
the resolution by large vote.
Charges of bribery and violation OF
the corrupt practices law were formally
made against Senator Stephenson by
State Senator ]. ]. Blaine in the legis.
lature two years ago. Filing Of these
charges resulted in the appointment
of joint investigation committee,
consisting of five assemblymen and
three senators. The assemblymen
We're pro-Stephensop and the senators
anti-Stephenson. After sitting two
and one-half months, this committee
dissolved, the assembly end making a
report favorable to Stephenson and
the senate end recommending a con.
tinuance of the investigation. The
senate authorized it's members to con.
tinue the probe. On March 4, 1909,
during the progress of the probe by
the senatorial committee, Stephenson
was elected. Three Democratic mem.
bers of the joint assembly walked out
Of the chamber just before the vote
was taken, and the absence of these
three members enabled Stephenson to
get the necessary proportion of the
votes remaining to elect him. The
senate investigating committee filed
It's report and recommendations short.
ly after the present session of the
legislature opened. Upon this report
is based the resolution adopted by the
senate yesterday.

Mr.. Gary discussed the financial
