bitterly attacking Lorlmer, and when
the vote seemed Imminent they began
a filibuster which held the senate In
an all night session. For himself, Lor
lmer appeared and spoke In his own
behalf in which he reviewed his early
struggle and attributed the fact that
the Democrats he knew while driving
a street car, caused the Democrats
to vote for him as senator.
