Following one of the rigid investiga tions ever instituted in the United States congerss, Senator Lorimer, of Illinois, was tills morning disbarred as a member of the senate. speaking of his trouble following the vote Senator Lorimer asked: "Have you over thought of the fal lacy of the situation with regard to Link, Beckemoyer and Iloltshaw ' they announced for weeks to every body that they would vote for Lori mer, and only changed their minds when a weu known man offered Link and Beckemeyer Ji.OOO each and Iloltshaw $2,500. What do you think of ' that? Can any form of logic make (today's action reason r.ble? If the people knew the truth an shown In this record they would rise up and drive this band of hypo crites from the. country, and as God spares my life and strength they will know the facts." A minority resolution was pre sented which declared it to be the sense of tho senate that Lorlmer' election was corrupt. Lorimer this afternoon denounced as false the statements of Senator Kerns to the effect that Lorimer helped democrats to get employment in order that they might serve him. He ridiculed the statements that there was any interests involved In bringing about his election. He nlso said it was foolish to even think that any Interests would purchase 63 . votes which was necessary in insur Ing his election when they could have purchased seven votes which would have elected Hopkins who is known as a protectionist. Lorimer said he did not want the fact that his private life was Irreproachable taken iio pnsldenIon. "M (family, said the esnator, will not desert me. Surrounded by them, 1 am the hap piest of living men." When Lorimer concluded his ad dress the minority report submitted by Lorimer'g friends was explained by the presiding officer.
