Has been before the senate, and the
"blonde boss of Chicago" has been
flayed as bitterly as any man ever be
fore the public.
The senate was crowded during
the roll call. The galleries were
filled early, and those who could not
get seats waited patiently outside in
the corridors.
Senator McCumber, of North Da
kota, endeavored to get a rule lim
iting the speeches to 15 minutes
each, but was unsuccessful. Senator
Owen, of Oklahoma, opened the de
bate for the senators opposed to
Lorlmer. He denounced the Illinois
senator for his failure to appear be
fore the investigating committee,
and read a long telegram from Gov
ernor Deneen, denying the state
ments made by Lorlmer to the sen
ate, and asserting that he had re
peatedly asked Lorlmer to call a
caucus, but' that Lorlmer had stead
