Frederick Lundln, of Chicago, ex-Representative in Congress from the Sixth district of Illinois, furnished an interesting half hour today before the Senate committee investigating the election of Senator Lorlmer when he related some of the workings of Ill'nols politics. Lundln declared that Governor Deneen wanted the Senatorial toga, "but didn't quite dare take It because his masters, the newspspers of Chicago, wouldn't let him." "The newspapers of Chicago." said Lundln, "probably thought Deneen could do them more good as Gov ernor than ji Senator. While he was making up his mind he was anxious to have the deadlock between Hopkins and Lorlmer continued so be could keep anybody else from getting It. "Everybody thought Deneen was for Lorlmer because all of Deneen's friends were," continued Lundln. "Do you think Deneen was working for Lorlmer?" asked Senator Lea. "I think he was, because it served his best purpose at that time. I heard him Indicate It Indirectly. He didn't feel that all his friends had stood by him and he was willing to gather strength by a merger with the Lorlmer ) men. Deneen was tor corimer until there was a chance of his election and then he was against him." This is not said to scare you into buying now.
