Beveridge, on grounds that the Illinois Legislature had been bribed to elect Lorimer.〔"Lorimer Retains Place, 40 to 46", ''Milwaukee Sentinel'', March 2, 1911, p1〕〔"Record of Current Events", ''The American Monthly Review of Reviews'' (April 1911), pp416–419〕 "The resulting storm of public outrage", a U.S. Senate historian would later write, combined with newly elected senators, would lead the Senate to finally approve the amendment of the U.S. Constitution to provide for Senators to be elected by popular vote, rather than by the state legislatures.〔Richard A.
