CHILToM,S CHARGES.

WILLIAM EDWIN Chiffon, sometime senator
w from the State of West Virginia in the Congress
of the United States. has finally through former
colleague filed petition with the Senate asking for an
investigation into the election of his SUCCESSOR Howard
Sutherland
The report of the incident written by Washington
correspondent friendly to Chiffon indicates that Chiffon
action predcated upon the fact that the Senate ex-
PEELED Senator Lonmer of Illinois because of fraud and
corruption in his election.
Sulherland's ofense against the election laws assuming
for the sake of argument that there was breach of the
laws. technical and unattended by any suggestion of
corruption The Lormer case was scandal which arous-
ed the whole nation, but then it was only with the
utmost difficulty that the Senate could be persuaded to
deprive the Illinois of his seat There have been
many fruiess Senatorial investigations of alleged corup-
ton.
In view of all these circumstances ii safe to say that
the only thing Chiffon will accomplish by the action he
took yesterday is 10 establish nationwide reputation of
being poor oser weakness he has been suspected of
in this state for some time.
The one direct effect Of his action is to do personal
injury to the who defeated him at the polls and in
view of the size of Suherands majority and the almost
UNANIMOUSLY conceded rectude of the Sutherland campaign
methods this is little short of contemplate In justice to
Senator Sutherland the Senate should promptly investigate
the absurd Chiffon charges and publish to the country the
vindicadon which it is bound to find.

Aha! thought the cops, so it was all
