secured for him by bribery: that what
ever money White. Beckemeyer, Link.
Holtslaw. or any other person received
was not paid by any one on Mr.. Lori
mer's behalf 10 secure such vote or
votes for him; that neither Edward
Hines nor any one else raised or con-
tributed to fund to be used to secure
his election: that his election was the
logical result Of existing political con-
ditions In the state of Illinois. and was
free from any corrupt practice. and
therefore we must ind. and we do find.
that William Lorimer's election was not
brought about or Influenced by corrupt
methods and practices.
mo personal guilt" Is the heading OF
q paragraph which read:
There Is absolutely no evidence in
all the testimony submitted intimaung,
suggesting or charging that William
Lorimer was personally guilty of any
corrupt practice In securing his election
or that he had any knowledge of any
such corrupt practices. or that he
authorized any one to employ corrupt
practices In his election"
The flve Senators also adopt the doc
trine OF res adjudicata urged by Lori
mer's counsel before the close OF the
hearings.
Counsel raised the contention that all
issues relating to the election and quail
fcatlons Of William Lorimer as Sem
ator from Illinois had been finally de-
termined by the Senate by its action on
March l. 1911" the report states, and
that such adjudication and determina-
ton was in law and justice a bar to
any further proceedings designed to
call In question the legality Of Mr.. Lori
mer's election and his right to q seat In
the Senate.
Your committee Is Of the opinion that
all issues were finally adjudicated by the
Senate March !. 1911. 80
Public hearing occupied actually 100
working days. according to the report.
one hundred and eighty witnesses tes-
tined. and the record contains 8.5ss
printed pages.
"The committee desires to call atten-
ton to the act" the report states, well
known to the Senate. but apparently
unknown to . large proportion Of the
people. that the investigation was not
complicated by any charges involving
Mr.. Lorimer's private character. the
discharge Of his public duties. or any
other charge upon which his expulsion
from the Senate could be predicated.
THE only issue involved was to In
vcstigate whether the election of WILL
lam Lorimer was due to corrupt prac-
tees"
