FINAL FIGHT TO
T
IS
Blond Boss Sturdily Faces Accusers
in Last Effort to Keep Seat in
Senate He is Aliened to Have Se
cured by Bribery and Corruption.
Dillingham Summarizes Evidence Se
cured by Committee Poll of Sen
ate Shows Lorimer Doonwd. '
WASHINGTON, July 6. When
prayer was over and routlno busi
ness had been disposed of In tho
sonato today, William Lorimer, of
Illinois, again faced a battla over his
right to a seat as senator.
On March 1, 1911, tho senato
voted 46 to 40. to retain Lormlor as
a member. Defeat today would
mean that a Judgmcn of a majority
of senators tho "blond boss' acquired
his seat by "corrupt methods and
practice."
With that condemnation In tho
event he loses, ho will bo driven back
to private life In Chicago. Such a
case, involving tho standing of a
member, Is a question of tho highest
privilege.
Dillingham Kxplnlns Caso
Sonator Dillingham of Vermont,
who, as chairman of tho privileges
and elections committee wan chair
man of tho committee which Investi
gated Lorlmor's election, was tho
first speaker. Ho analyzed In de
tail tho evidence In the caao. .'
Later Lormler appearod on toe
floor and listened attentively to Dil
lingham. At ono tlmo ho Interrupted
tho speaker to explain why Speaker
Shurtleff of tho Illinois assembly
s!ipporterTCSK"Rnd not Jlopklns for
the senatorshlp. Tho reason was,
Lorimer said, that a written agree
ment had been mado that tho candi
date who carried Shurtleff's district
should receive his vote. Foss car
ried tho district, two to one.
Senator McCumbcr, republican 'of
North Dakotn, sudko at length in de
fense of Lorimer. He disputed the
right of the sonato to Kxs nnd retry
the same ense until n change in per
sonnel enables n majority to evict the
offending senator. Tho present move
ment against Lorimer is nothing but
"politicul murder" SrcCumber said.
No Hoo for Lorimer
Polls taken und generally accept
ed ns being accurate hold no hope
for Lorimer. That view was so
strong that vlco president Sherman
mado a special trip to Chicago sev
eral weeks ago to advlso Lorlmor to
resign. Tho arguments In favor of
his retirement wero that ho could
avert what appeared to bo certain de
feat, and. moreover, save his sena
torial friends ambarrassment by
not requiring them to lino up for
him again.
Many of tho senators who voted
for Lorimer In 1911 wero rotlred
mainly because of that vote. Polls
recently taken show not fowor than
fifty senators against Uto "blonde
boss' and not moro than forty In his
favor. A majority In tho senato is
48.
