MINORITY REPORT
HITS STEPHENSON
five Senators Attack His Right
to Senate Seat.
SAY CHARGES ARE PROVED
Declare the Evidence Showed Conclu-
siveiJ That Voters Were Paid to
Be at Polls and Big
Sums Spent.

Washington. - Five members OF
the senate committee which has
been inquiring into the election OF
United States Senator Isaac Stephen
son of Wisconsin presented to the
senate a minority report against Mr..
Stephenson and brought the issue OF
his election squarely before that body.
The declaration is made in the report
that to give the senator clear right
to his seat is ito notify the world that
we are careless as to whether seats
in this body are to be bought and sold
as so much merchandise to the man
with the largest purse"
The case has been under investiga-
ton since last summer. A majority
report of the investigating committee
had been presented by Senator Hey
burn. The minority report is signed
by Senators Jones, Kenyon and Clapp,
Republicans, and Lea and Kern, Demo
Gratis.
Referring to the fact that the sena-
tor, through his lieutenant, spent $1O7,-
1893 in his campaign, and that candi-
dates for the state legislature spent
proportionately large sums, the report
quotes from the majority report
Such expenditures were in viola
ton of the fundamental principles
underlying our system of government,
which contemplated the selection Of
candidates by the electors and not the
selection of electors by the candi-
dates"
The minority report then proceeds:
1--WE concur in this statement and it
justifies us in opposing the conclusion
Of the majority. How seat in the
senate can be secured in violation of
the fundamental principles underlying
our system of government with the
evidence showing the use of such a
large sum of money and not be faint
ed by corrupt methods and practices
we are unable to comprehend"
The report sets forth that the evil
dence showed conclusively that voters
were paid to be at the polls, that ex-
travagant sums for entertainment"
were expended, records and papers
concerning the campaign were shifted
from one place to another and original
records were destroyed.
"All this is admitted" says the re-
port, land we feel that we have right
to assume from these admitted facts
and actions that corrupt methods and
practices were used in connection
with said primary election. To hold
otherwise is to establish a precedent
that would authorize an expenditure
of hundreds of thousands of dollars to
debauch the electorate to secure a
seat in this body"
