CORRUPTION AND REFORM IN ILLINOIS POLITICS Political chicanery has a long history in Illinois. Elec­ tion buying, vote fraud, and obstruction of justice occurred all too frequently, and only in rare instances did public reac­ tion lead to real change. Two important reforms, however - one local, one national -- fol­ lowed particularly blatant cases of "politics as usual." In 1884 the election of Re­ publican Harry Leman to the Illinois Senate mysteriously be­ came a victory for Democrat Rudolph Brand after "investi­ gation" by the Cook County Board of Canvassers. When the State Election Canvassing Board proved unable to certify either man, Republican Gov. John Hamilton declared Leman elected. Subsequent investiga­ tions produced evidence that ballots printed after the elec­ tion gave Brand the supposed victory, and there was fraud at every step in the electoral proc­ ess. Democrat boss Joseph Mackin and three associates were convicted, although the verdict was overturned on a technicality. Balloting jjfr 19th-century T/CK-FURRED?

ALL CARS ON DISPLAY IN SHOWROOM. Baber Quick FOX LAKE ILL OPEL elections was a very individual thing. Each party printed its own tickets, which were then distributed in the hope that voters would choose to deposit them at the polling places. The opportunities to stuff ballot boxes, vote gravestones, and bribe voters never went totally unnoticed; the election of 1884 had simply been a case in point. But that case had fo­ cused so much attention on the weaknesses of the system that it was a major factor leading to the State Ballot Box Act which provided for official ballots, replacing the 'fiarty "tickets." In addition, the legislature made offering a bribe a crimi­ nal offense.. That, of course, did not eliminate bribery as a campaign tactic. In 1909 Republican boss William Lorimer, an eight- term Congressman, won elec­ tion to the United States Sen­ ate, following 18 weeks of vot­ ing and dealing by the state legislature, which then elected US Senators. Eleven months later a downstate Democrat confessed that he and others had accepted a $1000 bribe to vote for Lorimer. Lee O'Neil Browne of Ottawa, a well- known House leader, was ac­ quitted of paying the bribes, but "Lorimerism" had become a national issue. Without concrete evidence, the United States Senate voted 47 to 40 to allow Lorimer to retain his seat. A state Senate committee continued its inves­ tigation, however, concluding that Lorimer was illegally elec­ ted. After a second committee investigation from Washington and an additional vote by the full membership of the United States Senate on July 13, 1911, that body decided by a vote of 55 to 28 that Lorimer was not entitled to his seat as the r&ult of a fraudulent elec­ tion. One year later, the state Senate finally agreed to a con­ stitutional amendment provid­ ing for the direct election of US Senators by the people. Further, in 1912, Illinois voters overwhelmingly supported a re­ vised primary law, meant to reduce disorder and corruption in the filing of petitions and to encourage greater participation in elections, as well as a legis­ lative commission to study the short ballot. In spite of these and other important reforms, however, it seems that the re­ sulting system has not totally el*' ninated corruption from 1444- ^lections.
