 Victory if He Stays"

Senator Burton of Ohio spoke in tn. senate on the Lorimer case. After careful examination of the evidence he had come to the conclusion, he said that MT. Lorimer should be excluded.
 Senator Burton declared that seveL of the 1O8 votes cast for Lorimer were undoubtedly corrupt, which reduced the total vote for MT. Lorimer to 101 or one less than enough to elect.
 Referring to the contention of Lori mer's supporters that if seven votes are conceded to be corrupt and are de ducted from his total vote, then they must also be deducted from the grand total of the votes cast on that day as the basis for estimating majority. Senator Burton said:
 "The most plausible argument in ia. vor of this position is that if the seven votes referred to cannot be counted out for one purpose namely, voting for senator-they cannot be counted for another purpose - namely, the maintaining of a quorum of determin ing the number present; that, if these were not valid votes for Lorimer, they are void and the number, in the joint session must be diminished to that ex. tent.
 '"To establish such a rule would mean that those who engage in an effort to elect a senator by fraud or bribery would engage in 1t with no possibility of failure. If the fraud is not discovered the seven votes would be counted. If the fraud is discovered the number would be deducted from the whole number of those present and an election would still be made. In either case corruption would be tri umphant."
