WASHINGTON. Feb. 3. Senator Hoot,
of New York. leaped to a position of
leadership amona the antl-Lorlmer
forces Id the Senate today, and caused
the case temporarily to be lifted above
tha attack upon the Individual, so aa
to bare tha blotca upon the nam of
Illtnnla.
When Root concluded. Hale pleaded
with tremuloua vole for some friend
of tha state, and ha sua-aested Cullom.
to mitt a reo!r to i:oot' speech tnat
woul.l exonerate not Lorlmer. but
Illinois.
"I rtf'mi to believe ttiat so itreat a
people are rotten to the core." aald
flatter of Tea. '"If w are to try
Senators on tha genera! misconduct of
I't'.sUton. then tha Senator whose
ria-ht la challenged now la not tha

H!a eollraaue. Mr. Cullom. w
elected by one of those Urejlslature.
and no man here believes) he waa a

but atlll the caaa of Lorlmer Is tha

lorlmer had numeroua defenders.

the method of hla election. Chief

member of tha Lorlmer Investigating

Oil ILLINOIS
In the Illinois Assembly, waa corrupt,
and tha votes of that following ahould
have keen eliminated.
Corrupt loo Wipe Oat Majority.
Root reached the conclusion that, de
1ucUr.ji the seven votes. .Lorlmer bad
b-en lft without a majority. fact
ahlch. he said. Invalidated hl election."
Tina waa enualy true, he eaid. whether
the corruption fund had been uaed either
to iBcreaee Lorlmer'a rote or to reduce
:rve total rota.
The conrluaton of Root's speech waa
marked br an unusual acena.
Hale of Maine took the floor and plead
ed for a reply to tbe New Tot It tfena
tor'a speech.
8 tt Ire that the Senate could not be
comfortable while Root waa making- hla
"powerful argument and affirming that
he himself bad not been, be satd be bad

thei situation.
iUiiey aald that If Mr. Boot' doctrine
were to be followed, tt would be found
that there had not been a lawful elcUo
In Illinois In many years.
DefenJlng the recummendatlone of the
committee. Itrrburn of Uaho. one of Ita
merntwrs. charted th.ar the fight upon
Lorlmer waa due to the muckraking and
sensational methods of newspapers.
Committee plundered. Say Hoot.
He took the poaltlon that tha In
resticatlon committee haJ been at fault
In permitting eit.ier tne attorney for
lorlmer or the attorney for the
Chicago Tribune to direct Ita courae la
the matter of connecting Lorlmer
with the corruption of members of the
Illinois Leclslatur. but agreed that
tven In the fare of lia fault In this
respe u li.e committee had. obtained
sufficient evidence effectually to taint
or Invalidate the elect'on.
lie expressed the opinion that both
the state and country had been dis
graced by the methods of the Lorlmer
election.
Cane Not Ttiat of Newspaper.
Not only did the Senator differ aa to
the conclusion, but aa to the methoda
of the tenate committee. He did not
believe that organisation had properly
interpreted the scope of Its instruc
tions, but felt that It had gone too far
In Interpreting the rhargea aa a pri
vate complaint by the Chicago Tribune.
, The committee should, he thought, have
borne In mind that the reputation, the
honor, the purity and the authority of
the Senate were Involved.
-When." he asked earnestly, "did we
entrust the guardianship of our honor
and Integrity to any newspaper or any
man? It waa the duty of the committee
to Investigate whether corrupt meth
oda and pra-tlres bad been resorted to
as directed by the 9nat and not to
deride whether the Tribune had estab
lished a case."
One effect of the commlttee'a course
had been to create the feeling that thts
was a persecution rather than a prose
cution, and the speaker himself con
fessed to sharing the view that tha
stork was not one in which a newspaper
rjilsht properly engage.
-This case Is not the rase of the
Tribune; it Is the case of this Gov.
ernnient: It Is the (Internment of the
I nlted States that I Involved." he said.
Una nr Controlled Votes.
F.-ot to!d cf a iMrnocratle member of
the Illinois Legislature who admittedly
had ane to Speaker Shurtleffa rooms.
hl' h were occupied by Lorlmer. to ar
range about Kedi-rai patronage and rap
l.lle paset ! the connection of Lee
OXell Kruwr.e with the case. This mm
was declared to be Lortmer's chief ajrent.
"a fact whl.h rests on the testimony
of Hrowne blmsrlf and la not the sub
ject of diiute. he said. The Senator
then undertook to show that Hrowne bad
been Instrumental In procuring the 20
Imoeratlo votea cast for I-orlmer.
Ilctarlng Prowoe'e leadership over and
control of a certain large cumber of
member of the Illinois Legislature and
the relationship of Browne to Lorimcr,
rnt.-h was described aa that of a cam
paign manager. Root wanted to know
how this control waa secured and main
tained. Tre answer." he said, "furnished the
backs-round against which all of tha
testimony In thia case must be measured
and weighed."
Tbe use by Hrowne of the terra
-really necessary" In aeeklng Democrats
to rote In the Legislature r Lorlm-r
waa made the most of br Hoot. He ssid
the teatlmony showed that Brown tad
recourse to this term In offering cash
for Lorlmer votes.
Joke Made or Corruption.
The Senator aald Lorlmefs lawyer
tried to hut out all testimony concern
ing the July meeting at St- Louis on the
ground that the gathering was for tha
purpose of distributing a legislative
Jackpot." which bad no conrctlon with
the election of Lorimcr.
"Think of It." exclaimed Root, "cor
ruption having been going on so long
that minds had become accustomed to It.
men In tha Legislature had become ao
calloused to the Iniquity of It they Joked
about it. They nicknamed their cor
ruption fond, as admitted by Mr. Lorl
mer'a own lawyer."
When Root concluded. Hale, the vener
able Republican Senate lender, asserted
that some one should come to the res
cue of the State of Illinois and say
whether the arraignment of her name
and fame had been warranted.
