Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the events surrounding the contested senatorial election of William Lorimer in 1910. The author meticulously examines the charges of bribery and corruption that plagued the contest and the subsequent investigation ordered by the United States Senate. The ensuing testimony, including confessions from self-proclaimed bribe-takers and the accusations levied against prominent figures like Senator Lorimer, are thoroughly analyzed.
