He said he bad lived years In a strongly democrat! tlv drnnmtU,' eommunlty and told how he became a republican. . : , The moat oppressive heat was again suffered by Lorlmer and the auditori. "Have you ever thought of the fallacy i of the situation with regard to Link, Beckemeyer, Haltsla-v?" asked Lorl mer. . "They announced for weeks to ev erybody they would be for Lorlmer, It Is asserted then that a man offered Link and Beckemeyer $1,000 each and Holtslaw $2500. What kind of econ omy Is that? Can anyone in the form of logic make it reasonable? If the people knew the truth as shown In this record they would rise up and drive this band of hypocrites out of the country And as God shares my and strength they will know the facts. Continuing Lorimer described what he said were other features of the plot against him and the charge that he was a corrupt congressman and had a contract with Lee O'Neill Browne. . "There were scheme to put Lori mer In the pen," the Illinoisan declar- , . iea- it s necessary io ooisier up the case. My opponents hired Wmi J. Burns who calls himself a great de- tective. He put a venerable United. States senator in the grave on the te timony the president of the Cnited States now believes untrue."
