...other vivid, election-generated expulsions of this century were due to the large campaign chests that Senators Frank Smith of Illinois and William Vare of Pennsylvania acquired in the 1926 election.

He accepted $203,000 from one of the state's largest privately-owned power companies, and for this violation of the Hatch Act was denied the right to sit as Senator...

Durham, took over, carried on the pattern until 1905, finally died of what was termed "paralysis of the heart"-which was no surprise to some cynical Philadelphia taxpayers. After him came "The Dukes," the three Vare brothers, sons of a South Philadelphia hog-breeder: 1) George, one of the "King's" lieutenants, a contractor; 2) Edwin H., an ashman who extended his control of the neck to most of Philadelphia, died in 1922 controlling most of Pennsylvania's politicos and courts; 3) William, the youngest...
