Sena tor Bailey, of Texas, took up the de fense of Lorimer in the senate today, and stated that he did not concede that any member of the Illinois leg islature had been corrupted, but even if seven of the legislators had been bribed it would not affect the legality of the senator's election. In such an event being proved, said Mr. Halley, all that wculd be necessary would be to deduct the number of tainted votes from the total mem bership of the legislature, which would still leave Lorimer a majorit of unchallenged votes.
