speech wherf he left off yesterday
when physical exhaustion compelled

Senators Kern and Lea of the inves
tigating coianiittee' minority were
special targets of Lorlmer'g attacks
today. Ht strode toward them and
shook his 'st defying them to refut
his tatenients. Senator Lea started
ytalvht at the llllnolsan while Xern
Unit red his watch chain nervously
H'id appeared'to be on the point of in
terrupting Lorlmer to reply to the
charges. After a conference with
Senators Lea and Bacon he apparent
ly changed his mind and sa silent
under the Lorlmer .assaults.
"Hopkins an Intercut Man."
Lorimer denounced as false Kern's
rtatement the be had helped to get eu
floymetit for democrats who served
him. He ridiculed the statement ihn

He said it was foolish to staiC tlift

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."
At 1:40 the minority resolution was'
called up holding that It be the sense '
of tbe minority that Senator Lorimer's "-
election was corrupt. The' roll call W. A. Turner, general manager for
