THEY WERE PAID
Some of the Evidence Before the Legislature
and lh? fnnrtc
. IN THE IORIMER CASE
* ?.
Wo Publish llclow Extracts of the
Testimony ltrought Out in This
Notorious Cuse So as Our Ilea (lets
Can .lu?lne for Themselves as to
the Facts.
From January until the 26th of
Muy, 1909, the Legislature of Illinois
was engaged in fruitlessly balloting
for a Senator to succeed Mr.
Hopkins, who was then a member of
the Senate. Mr. Hopkins had received
a large vote by way of instruction
in the primaries, and Mr.
Stringer was the primary selection of
tin? Democratic party, and the votes
run for many weeks, for months,
with the greater part of the Republicans
voting for Mr. Hopkins.
On the 2 6th of '.May there was a
sudden change, and the votes of a
very large part of the Republicans
and of the Democrats were turned to
Mr. Lorimer, who up to that time
had not been an avowed candidate.
only an occasional scattering vote
having been cast for him. On that
day there were 202 members of the
Legislature of Illinois present in ?l?e
Joint session of the two houses, making
102 votes necessary to an election.
On the roll call of the Senate,
there were ten votes for Mr. Lorlmer,
and on the roll call of the
House there were 01 votes for Mr.
Lorimer, making a total of 1 o 1
votes. Thereupon seven llopubiican
Senators who had voted for Mr. H *pkins
on the roll call changed their
votes from Mr. Hopkins to Mr. Lorimer,
making 108 voteB for Mr. Lorimer,
and he was declared to bo elected.
Those 108 votes were 58 of
them cast by Democrats and DF> by
Republicans.
Now there are certain undisputed
facts which l>ear upon this inquiry
as t6 these F>3 Democratic votes. The
first is that Mr. Lorimer was present
at Springfield and in attendance at
the State Capitol at the time of this
election, and he had been there for
several weeks. it appears that one
of the Democrats who had been
I asked to vote for Mr. Ix>rimer raised
some objection and was requested to
?o into the Speaker's room on the
day of the election and see Mr. Lorinier.
He had asked for certain promises
regarding patronage, regarding the
appointment of Federal officers in his
own town. He was requested to go
arid he did go into the Speaker's |
. uuui, .inn iniTP lonnn .Mr. Lorimer;
nd he had with Mr. Lorimer a runv
; tion relating to the appointon
nt of Federal officers in his town,

a<ent selected by Mr. Lorimer.
hlef agent to secure Democratic
' v for him, was Mr. Lee O'Neil
' o lie. Mr. llrov.ne was the leader
"? faction of tlie Democrats in
Assembly. There were two faceach
with a leader. Mr.
r \ ne had between thirty and for?
1 another, Mr. Tippet, had bot
Acen twenty and thirty Democratic
nbers of the Legislature, anil Mr.
Drome was called into consultation,
nee, co-operation with Mr.
>'imer and became plainly Mr. I.ori
accredited and authorized
a in securing votes from the
c> ocratlc side of the Assembly.
I h's rests upon the testimony of Mr.
Drome himself, and Is not subject
to any dispute.

or, 'Vlanny Abrahams. He procured
them to vote as the agent of Ljriti'er.
secured by him to act for hini,
closeted with him by day and by
night, reporting to him step by step,
havinc the rolnHnn ?*?
. tu iiiin ui a member
of a campaign committee. On
tbe floor of the Assembly, on the
day of the election before the vote
was cast, Mr. English, a member of
the Mouse, in effect charged corruption.
Mr. Mrowne, for the apparent purpose
of stren-'thening his followers,
had made a speech in which he had
undertaken to explain what was I
about to be done, and he had used
the expression, "We cannot cash
dreams," when that stout Doinocru
of the House retorted, "llut you can
cash votes." and.lt v, s under the !
aspersion of that remark in tin*
opqn Mouse that the votes were ca>t. .
Mr. Moltslaw, who was a Senator. <
testified that Senator I'.roderlek, a i
Democrat it- Senator. . s was Molt la 1

mer, and he did. Moltslaw has also t
tesrjfled to the payment of the $b',- i
600. I
Three other witnesses have testified
not merely to approaches but to r
the actual payment of mone> Mr. r
White who was the originator of the s
charms, Mr. Idnk, another Memo- r
cratic member of the Assembly, Mr. t
neckemeyer. another, all members c
of the faithful thirty. a
It happens that there were two f
* fc *
I * ' ?
events?two meetings of followers
of llrowne?subsequent to the election
of Lorimer in which the testimony
fixes the payment of money under
such circumstances that, if the
testimony be believed, there was
plain bribery. The first meeting was
on me zisi or June xoilOWing the
election. The second meeting was on
the 15th of July. Roth meetings
were held In St. Lou's. At the first
the testimony of Beckemeyer and
White and Link shows a distribution
of $1,000 each to the followers of
Browne in Southern Illinois, and at
the second meeting, the 15th of
July, the testimony of the same men
shows a distribution of $000 each to
the followers of Browne in Southern
Illinois.
A year after the second meeting
was held, and when Inquiry came to
be made regarding the payment "f
money to these members of the legislature
at that meeting, a false and
fictitious and manufactured explanation
of the purpose of the meeting
was made up. Two of the men hers
who were there testiflod to Wilson,
who went there as Browne's agent
and, they say, distributed the money,
sending them letters in 1910. on the
eve of the inquiry, dated hack prior
to the 15th of July, 1909, and Bug
gesting as a reason for tho meeting
a propo lal to give a banquet to Mr.
Browne.
Unfortunately nearly all the witnesses
to the meeting forgot that
there was any proposal to give a
banquet to Mr. Browne. All the
members of the Browne following
met at their customary meeting
place in St. Louis, brought from
their several homes in different and
distant towns in the southern part
of the State of Illinois, called 'ben
by telegrams for some purpose or
other, and there appears In tho 'ettimony
regarding that meeting na evidence
whatever as to any conclusion
reached, nny question raised or any
action taken regarding the giving of
a banquet to Mr. Browne.
There is another fact whLb corroborates
most powerfully the testimony
showing that there was money
paid, a fund distributed at tho Juiy
15 meeting; and that Is tiiat two
of the men who were there when
I called before the Grand Jury of
Cook County In an inquiry as to l"gislativo
corruption testified under
oath that they were not present at
the meeting?perjured themselves to
conceal the fact that they were there
at all. They were indicted for that,
perjury. Why, if the meeting was
an innocent one, if it was a meeting
to talk about a banquet, if the testimony
of these three men that there
was a fund distributed there is f?i?e,
and it was an innocent meeting, why
should men be willing to commit
perjury in order to conceal the fact
that they were there?
The corruption in the Legislature
of Illinois which brought on the dis-j
tribution of July w:is practically
admitted upon this hearing;. When
the first testimony about that meeting
was produced the counsel lor
Mr. Lorii?ler objected to it because,
he stated, it was testimony about
what they called the "jack-pot." The
corruption in that Legislature had
continued so long, men's minds had
become so accustomed to believing;
in it, men had become so callous to
the iniquity of it. that they joked
about it and nicknamed it as if it
wore a matter for jocular treatment.
Several of the witnesses testified that
they called it a "jack-pot."
White and Lick and Beckemeyer
all have sworn that on the 21st day
of June Mr. Itrowno paid to them
$ 1,0 00 each, and two of them testify
to that payment being pursuant
to promises made by Browne to them
before the election of Lorimor. I'pon
what ground are we to reject the
testimony of these three witnesses
and accept the testimony of Lee
O'N'eii Browne, which we already
know to ite false, because be denies,
denies under oath, as we know,
falsely, the disposition of the jackpot?
It appears that upon uncontradicted
and indisputable testimony
in this case, that the collector, the
distributer, the leader in this corruption
of the Legislature of Illinois
was I.ee O'Nell Browne.
TL * -
lucre ih one omer circumstance
which is a little aside from the main
current of this sewer which we have
been considering, and that is the
bribery of Holtslaw. Mr. Holtslaw
was, prior to the meeting of the Assembly
of Illinois of 1909, in which
lie was a Senator, a reputable man,
of ?ood standing in the community in
which he lived. lie testifies that
about the 10th of Juuc, or just before
the 1f?th of June, he was sent
for by Mr. Ilroderirk to come to his
place of business in Chicago.
lie testifies that was either by letter
or telegram, and that he went
there; that Mr. ltroderick handed
him $2,f>00 in a package and he took
It and went away, Rroderiek at the
same time telling him there would
lie more for him later. lie went
iway, and ha went to the State Rnnk
>f t'hicago and deposited this $2,.100
n the name of bis bank, the Holstlnw i
Rnnk, of luka. The cashier of the)

Southern Railway to Run Special
Trains in the Interest of Agricultural
Education.
During the week ending Monday.
March 6, the Southern railway company,
in line with its policy of doing
everything possible for the betterment
of agricultural conditions in
the territory traversed by its lines,
will run two special agricultural educational
trains.
One of these trains 'will bo operated
in co-operation with the Virginia
department of agriculture and
immigration and will spend the entire
week on the Richmond division,
embracing the lineB between Richmond
and Danville and Richmond
and West Point. Meetings have been
arranged at twelve points.
The other train will be run over
the lines of the Southern railway and
the Queen and Crescent route in Kentucky
in co-operation with the department
of agriculture and the college
of agriculture of that state.
Twenty-four stops will be inude by
this train.
Each of these trains will be In

information of the greatest value.
Subjects will be arranged to meet

the meetings as all will be held in
passenger coaches.
The Southern Railway in connection
with other lines is furnishing
absolutely free of charge a train with

of CJeorgia is making a lortvseven

The great expense entailed by the
running of these trains is borne by

will eventually be repaid by the improvement
in conditions that will result
from an increasing adoption of
better methods of agriculture.
HORRY COUNTY COURT.
There was no Circuit Judge Available
to Hold It.
(lovernor Hlease is quoted in the
daily papers as saying that he declined
to commission C. P. Quattle1)9um
as special judge to hold court
at Conway, as recommend by the Supreme
Court, because Judges Copes
and Memminger were disengaged.
The Lancaster correspondent of Tbo
News and Courier says the Supreme
Court knew that neither Judge C-opes
nor Judge 'Memminger could be assigned
to hold the Conway Court; it
knew that upon his qualification
Judge Copes wotiid preside at the
Richland court, in Columbia, 1hia

was sick at his home in Charleston,
the judge having informed the
court, upon its inquiry, that in the

EXTRA SESSION

M(ans Extra Ttrm
ALL DOUBT REMOVED
It is Also Settled That K '.ra Period
Will Be Culled to Begin Its Work
Before April I?Democrats Wanted
a Month to Prepare, and at One
Time President Seemed Willing.
A Washington dispatch says the
last vestige of doubt that there will
be an extraordinary session of congress
called by President Taft to consider
the Canadian reciprocity agreement
in the new practically certain
event of the failure of that meaaur*
in the present congress, disappeared
Thursday when it became known that
Republican leaders had been called
to the white house for a consultation
"The die is cast," said one of the
Republican senators after returning
to the capital. "Mr. Taft has decided
that there must bo an extra session
and that he will call it earlier than
April 4."
' Democratic leaders wanted a
month in which to get ready for a
special session and President Taft
was inclined to accede to their
wishes. It became known Thursday,
however, that the Republicans favored
an earlier gathering if there was
no way to avoid coming back. Mr
Taft would be guided, it was said, by
the wishes of the Republicans. It
wai announced that a conference
would be held on the subject probably
on next Monday, to decide upon
a date. March 20 was the date
talked about Thursday at the capitol
Democratic leaders in the house
differ in their views as to the length
of an extraordinary session il too
President should call one, hut ill the
estimates arc that the se6siou would
continue until between July 1 and
October 1.
Speaker-elect Clark believes that
four or five months would be ample
and that adjournment might be
reached during July. Chairman Uu
derwood of the ways and means committee
of the house, feels that an ex
trr session could wind tip its business
hv Sept. 1. "Representative Henry of
Terns, who will be one of the leaders
in the. next house, thinks the session
might run on until October 1. A?i
tfc?'se, are of course, guesses.
The selection of committees, those
on accounts, mileage and rules first
of all?will be the first work att?
nip',ed in the event congress meets
in extra session. The choice rests
with the ways and means committee,
which is vested with the function or
a committee on committers, but a
r?emo< ratic caucus must formally
pass upon the committee's action.
Democratic leaders say that the
reciprocity measure, if not passed by
the senate at the regular session, will
pass ihi house in extra session if the
President should call one.
Of the special sessions called in
March durine the nasi fnrtv .
the shortest icrm was one and one

nine months. The Inst extraordinary

CHANGE OF MIND
DISEASE SIGNS SOME HILLS HE
SAID HE'D VETO.
Six Specific Instances in as Many
Weeks When the Governor Has
Chunked His Mind.
The Columbia Record says Gov- ^
ernor Please is beginning to make a
record for changing his mind. '\ecently
he has taken positive positions
upon a number of things, only
to recede from these shortly afterward;
and now persons interested do
not know what wel?ht to attach to
deliverances by the executive, in
cases where the way is open to him
to reverse himself.
Particularly is this uncertainty felt
in regard to legislative acts which as
yet remain unsigned. An announcement
by the governor that he will {
veto a given act may or may not be
final- in several instances he has reconsidered
such decisions and signed
the acts involved.
Governor Please sent to the legislature
a message vetoing the Osborne
child lahor act. but in a later
message receded from this position,
admitted he was in error and asked
that reference to the matter be impunged
from the record, which was
done.
Governor Please said he would
veto tin act incorporating the Piedmont
and Northern railway company
? the Puke interurban project; hut
be changed bis mind and signed the
act? without explanation.

veto the act authorizing the employment
of rural police in Charleston
county; but next day he approved
the act without exnbinn# Win ll^l
