PRIMARY LAW GETS BLAME
Report of Chairman Hepburn of Ste
phenson Probe Committee Exon
crates Wisconsin Senator.

Washington, -. chairman
Hepburn of the special senate inves-
tigating committee has prepared a
report generating Senator Stephen
son of Wisconsin from the. charge of
corruption in securing his election to
the United States senate
The report finds that no member
of the Wisconsin legislature was
shown to have been influenced in
Mr.. Stephenson's behalf by the use
of money. 1t comments upon the
expenditure of s107.O0 in the cam
paign as due to the existence of q
primary election law in Wisconsin,
but that law is not condemned in
terms in Mr.. Heyburn's report
1t has been known &c some time
practically since the close of the in
duiry in Milwaukee - that Senator
Heyburn's report would declare that
no evidence had been uncovered to
show that Senator Stephenson spent
money unlawfully in his campaign
for the senate. 1t was known that
Senator Hepburn was disguised with
the enormous expenditures in the
Wisconsin primary campaign, but
blamed the system rather than Sem
ator Stephenson or other candidates
