PEOPLE OF ILLINOIS
PRAISED BY CULLOM
Declares That the Corruption
of a Few Should Not Be-
smirch the Fair Name
of the State.

Rising to question OF personal priv
ilege, Senator Cullom Of Illinois today re-
piled to the recent references in the Sen
ate to himself in connection with condi-
tons in the Illinois legislature brought
out by the Lorimer investigation
LAS a candidate for the legislature, as
a candidate for Congress. as a candidate
for governor, as a candidate for United
States senator, no one has ever charged
that a single dollar was used to influence
any voter to vote for me or to cOrruptly
influence any member of the legislature
to vote for me-" Senator Cullom said. aft
err reviewing the opposition which he had
met in his different elections to public
office. These are the facts They speak
for themselves
Praises Illinois and It's Legislature.
Mr.. Cullom made no definite statement
as to whether he would vote in favor of
his colleague, Mr.. Lorimer, or against
him when the resolution to unseat Mr
Lorimer is disposed Of He did, however
uphold the state Of Illinois, and it's legis-
lature.
IN my judgment the state of Illinois
needs no Defense he remarked. Its
people, as whole, are as honest and
honorable as the people OF any other
state in the Union.
nat SoIi"P'Aoii mas eSlSteu on the part
of certain members of the legislature
should not affect the honor and Integrity
of the whole state and besmirch it's fair
name throughout the nation. If Illinois
is to be condemned on account of cor
ruption in it's legislature there are few
of the great states in the Union not sub
ject to similar condemnation
My record in public life for the past
fifty years Will show that l have always
denounced corruption, and / do not hest
tate to say now that any one guilty of
corruption, whether i'll the legislature of
Illinois or elsewhere. should be prose-
cuted and punished to the full extent of
the law. but it is manifestly unfair and
unjust to hold up the state to scorn be-
fore the nation on account of the wrong
doing of comparatively few of its
public officials
