and voted for Loriner. Senator Root said
that II motives OF patriotism we're involved
these motives were locked In the bosoms
Of those democrats and were not apparent
to his party colleagues.
Describing the two meetings I'm st. Louis
OF Brownies followers in southern Illinois.
about which Il Was testified that at the
first each member participating was paid
81 go and at the second meeting, held on
July l5 each was paid $500 Mr. Root said
that the testimony of witnesses differed.
The New York senator showed that
three witnesses testified to receiving 500
each and one witness, Representative VII
son. who was charged with making the
payments on behalf Of Browne, denied that
any money was distributed.
wilson's Testimony RidicuIed.
Mr. Root ridculed the testimony Of Will
son that this morning was held for the
purpose of discussing the question Of Civ
ing a banquet for Browne and pointed out
that the two men were indicted on charges
Of perjury before they would admit that
they had been present. The senator said
that Borimer's lawyers tried to shut out
all testimony concerning the July meet
ing on the ground that the gathering was
FOR the purpose Of distributing a legisla-
tive Jackpot which had no connection
with the election Of Lorimer.
Back of il" exclaimed MIR. Root cor
ruption having been going on so long that
minds had become accustomed to It, men
in the legislature had become so calloused
TO the iniquity Of it they joked about IT.
They nicknamed their corruption fund as
admitted by Mr.. Lorimer's own lawyer"
Mr. Root asserted that 1t was perfectly
immaterial" whether the seven tainted"
votes disclosed by the investigation were
deducted also from the 2O2 votes cast on
joint ballot. The latter method he said,
would still leave Lorimer a majority.
%What difference does il make?' he de-
manded, whether Lorimer money was
used to give Lorimer a majority or to re-
duce the totaFvo when either is ac-
complsbed by means Of corruption.
THE argument Of supporters of Lorimer
is that II the tainted votes are deducted
from the LOrimer vote Of lOS they should
also be deducted from the total vote of POP,
which would leave the total 1876 votes. of
which Lorimer would have 1O1"
When Mr. Root concluded Senator Hale
the venerable republican senate leader, as
serted that some one should come to the
rescue of the state of Illinois and say
/ whether the arraignment of her name and
/ fame had been warranted.
Bailey Defends Illinois.
Replying, Senator Bailey said that If Mr.
Roots proposition were accepted then there
has not been an honest election in Illinois
in many years.
Mr.. Bailey went so far as to say thai

ably for many years, was elected by sucf

Pnynter Asks Questions.
At this juncture the first interruption
occurred.
1t came from Senator Paynter Of Ken
lucky. a member of the committee and
supporter of it's views. He asked the New
York senator to specify some Of the wit
nesses he would have called that were not
summoned at the instance of the Tribune
Mr.. Root said he would have compelled
the attendance OF the cashier of the Hoist
law bank to show the financial operations
conducted there in connection with the al
legged bribery; the Marlboro Bros, who are
supposed to have been present at some of
the interviews between Brown and White" ;
Governor Deneen and Speaker Shurtieff
In regard to Governor Deneen we were
told that he could testify only in reference
to the question of accuracy" said Mr..
Paynter.
Then" responded Mr. Root, you are
still following the Tribune as IL that paper
were the guardian of the senate"
Admitting that Mr.. Shurteff had been
called Mr.. Root said that his testimony had
been merely OF a formal character, whereas
owing to the fact that he was closeted DAY
and night with Lorimer, he should have
been questioned most carefully.
Turning to the testimony before the sen
ate, Mr.. Root undertook to show that ever
though incomplete It did not justly tn,
