hcations Of the case the Senate
war investigating committee Ia
making out against Bilbo and Mis-
sissippi contractors who obtained
through his aid contracts to build
Army fields In their state.
Under the Constitution. each
House Is vested with the right TO
determine whether a man, who
claims TO have been elected TO either
House, was In fact elected. On the
basis Of the facts developed by the
hearings held in Mississippi, the
Senate will concern itself with the
question Of whether Bilbo achieved
his election through the intimida-
ton Of colored voters. The ques-
ton Of his election may be deter
mined by n majority vote.
II the Senate should decide
that Bilb0 won the nomination
despite the Intimidation Of col
ored voters, and administers the
oath Of office TO him. Il may
then proceed 10 invoke its right
0f expulsion which the COnsti-
tuition gives u "fOr disOFderly
behavior" Of It's members. In
the case Of BilbO, the evidence
addueed by the Senate war In
vestigatinK committee clearly
establishes that he helped Mis-.
sissippi contractors obtain Army
contracts and he accepted gTatui-
ties from them.
The law respecting payments for
influence exerted In procuring Gov
eminent contracts clearly brings
the Bilbo case within the definition
Of the term "disorderly behavior. "
That law provides that whoever,
being elected or appointed a. a
member Of or q delegate to Con-
gress, shall. after his election or
appointment and either before or
after he has qualified. and during
his continuance In Office, directly
or indirectly takes, receives, or
agrees TO receive, from any per.
son. any money, property or other
valuable consideration whatever,
for procuring, or aiding to procure,
any contract from the United
States. or from any officer or de-
partment thereof. for any person
whatsoever. or whoever, directly or
indirectly. shall offer, or agree to
give, or bestow, any money. prop

tract, shall be fined not more than
$4,000 and imprisoned not more
than two years: and shall, more
over, be disqualified from holding
any Office Of honor, profit, or trus,
under the Government Of the
United States.
The evidence and the Law in the
