BURTON LAYS BARE

WASHINGTON. d. G.. Feb. S.--A
notable contribution TO the argument
in the Lortmer case was made by
Senator Burton (Repubiican}. OF
Ohio, in the Senate, Ills YER
dict was that corrupt practices in the
election Of Lorimer deprived the lat
ter of any legal -elaim to seat in

Mr.. Burton gave a comprehensive
review OF court decisions and parlia-
mentary precedents bearing on the
case. He gradually led to state
ment Of his conclusions. in which
he said:
1t is perfectly evident that fraud
was so rampant and dishonesty so
widespread in this election that 1t Is
impossible to separate the sound
votes from the unsound votes. When
there In indabitable proof, as here,
that fraud and bribery have been re-
sorted to, no one can derive from the
cesspool of corruption any conclusion

tain A. presumption that not only
seven. eight. nine or ten were cor
rupt, but that possibly thirty east their
votes under the influence of bribery
or dishonesty.
1T is a deplorable fact that this
action of the Illinois Legislative is but
one manifestation Of corruption in
elections. Legislative bodies have no

ing and dishonesty Townships, coun-
ties and cities have shown the blight
of fraud. In q way Lorimer II but
