BALLOT ON L0RIMER

joined him. Senators Dillingham,
Jones and others who voted for Lorl
raer joined lilm in the cloak room
and bade him good bye.
Several Senators aPIred
Three senators were absent. Sev
eral wero "paired" and could not
vote. Senator Culbertson of Texas,
originally voted to oust Lorlmer and
then, being paired with Dupont of
Delaware, who was absent, with
drew his vote.
At 1:40 p. in. the minority reso
lution was called up, holding It to
be the sense of the senate that Wil
liam Lorimer's election was corrupt.
"Resolved that corrupt methods
and practices were employed In the
election of William Lorlmer to the
senate, and his election, was, there
fore invalid."
A roll call disclosed the presence
of eighty-two senators. All seemed
ready for a vote on the minority reso
lution when Senator Dixon of Mon
tanaarose. Ho denied Lorimer's
charges that he had been Involved In
an effort to bribe certain southern
delegates for Colonel Roosevelt.
Lorimer's ejection followed a
three day's speech by tho senator,
dramatic and replete with Invective
for his opponents. Beginning Thurs
day, Lorlmer had spoken in all 11
hours when ho relinquished the
floor at 1:30 this afternoon. Lori
mer's fight for his official life, which
ended this afternoon when the sen
ate doors closed behind his bulky
figure, began almost immediately af
ter his election.
DR. HALL OF LA GRANDE
TO SUPERINTEND INSANE
SALEM, Ore., duly 13. -Dr. M. K.
Flail of Ln Grande was today elected
by the state board, superintendent of
the eastern Oregon brunch insane
asylum and will assume hi duti's
this fall.
SPRIXGPIKLl). III., July 13. If
there Is u popular clamor for tho
election of a successor to William
Lorimor at once Governor Deuoen
may call a special session of tho
legislature. Several politicians hnvo
suggested to the governor that ho
appoint ex-Senator Hopkins, who
was tho people's choice at tho pri
mary held prior to the election of
Lorlmer.
The governor's statement follews:
"1 am not surprised at the vote
In the senate. The facts wero too
plain for successful controversy. No
one could explain on any reasonable
and honest theory why 53 democrats
would vote for Mr. Lorlmer for sen
ator as they did, or why four demo
crats should confess to ecelvlng
money for having voted for him.
Nor could anyone disassociate this
vote from the bipartisan organiza
tion of tho general assembly or the
'jackpot.'
"The effort to meet these Incon
trovertible facts followed the course
pursued by the defense In desperate
cases In our criminal courts and the
scandals which have followed tho In
vestigations of this case through tho
grand Juries and criminal courts,
and have had their climax In
CHAMP CLARK VISITS
WILSON AT SEAGIRT
SKAGIRT, N. J July 13. There
was much expectancy at the "little
white house" as the result of the visit
to Governor Wilson of tho man ho
defeated for tho presidential nomina
tion, Champ Clark, speaker of tho
house. Heforo the speaker arrived
tho governor stated that a good part
of the time they were to be together
would bo devoted to discussion of
legislation now before congress,.
PANAMA CANAL BILL
SENATE
conspiracy to ruin the reputation o
Mr. ( S. Funk.
"The public, I think, knows In a
general way the enormous influences
which had to do with the election of
Mr, Lorlmer, with the defense In tho
criminal courts and before the Inves
tigating committees of the state and
national senates and the extraordi
nary efforts made to retain him In
bis seat.
"This case has attracted national
attention and the people of our coun
try, I think, will feel a sense of sat
isfaction In seeing the forces of law
triumph over the Influences which
have been brought to hear to defeat
It. It will strengthen their confi
dence In the law."
A street railway In an Ohio city
that Is subjectvd to floods very

that will run through ns much as

WASIIINTON, July 13.--liume-d
lately after the announcement of
tho Lorlmer vote a message from
tho house was presented to the mm
ato submitting the Arehbald Im
peachment case to the senate.
No action was taken,
Senator Ilrandegeo moved Hint tho
senate take up tho bill to fix tolls on
tho Panama Canal.
A roll call was demanded, on the
iiuestlon of n quorum.
The senate made the Panama
Canal bill the "unfinished business,"
giving It tho right of way and
temporarily sidetracking tho Arch-
bald case.

LORIMER'S SPEECH
(Continued from pago 1.)
plot against him the charge that he
was corrupt as n congressman and
that ho had a contract with Lee
O'NVil Hrowno.
"There were schemes to put Lori
mcr in tho penitentiary," tho 1 Hi
noisan declared. "It was necessary
to bolster tip thiR case. My oppo
nents hired William J. Burns, who
calls himself 'tho great detective.' He
put n venornblo United States sen
ntor in his grave on testimony the
president of the United States now
believes was untrue."
Protected by Fumlly
Appreciation was expressed by Lor
imor of tho kind things suid about him
by the senators. It was admitted, he
Miid, that his private life was beyond
reproach. He did not want that fact
taken into consideration. Such u
life brought its own reward.
"My family," tho senator declared,
"will not desert mo, They will not
consider it a disgrace. My wife nnd
children will form a hollow square
a round mo nnd protect mo from tho
world; Surrounded by them, I nm
the hniiniosut of living men."

Notice to Taxpayers
The sheriff's offieo is sending out not ices to all
taxpayers wliose personal tax does not show "paid."
These notices are beinjj sent out. for the reason that
heretofore the assessor has always assessed the per
sonal property with the real estate and when real
estate was paid, the whole tax was paid. This year,
however, the assessor has placed all tho personal
property in a separate roll apart, from the real estate.
Many people pay the taxes on their real estate alone
believing they have paid all their taxes. For this
reason a considerable amount of personal tax shows
unpaid on the personal tax roll.
Sheriff .Tones believes that in justice to the tax
payers who have intended to pay all their taxes,
they should be notified of their unpaid personal tax
before the delinquent tax-list, is published.
The notices are not a "dun" for taxes, but simply
a notice that the personal tax shows unpaid.
