Hon. william I.0rimer's system Of

In certain section Of the daily press
to absolute drivel as witness the fol-
lowing from the source referred to:
1T Is reported that In his speech be-
fore the Republican county executive
committee last Friday william Lorimer
assured his hearers that the only dan
ger the party had to fear in Cook
county was the sentiment among thou
sands Of Republicans against the ma
chine And then he II said to have
continued:
lit is Of no Use to try to argue that
these voters are not Republicans.
They are. They vote at presidential
elections and generally support the
State ticket, but they do not vote the
local ticket because they are prejudiced
against the machine, The cause OF this
prejudice, In my opinion, is that they
do not know what the machine is
This Is all very sweet and candid
on Mr.. LOrimer's part, but 1t Is alto
gether too modest. II does not CON
fess that Mr.. Lorimer himself is the
