Lorimer is exceedingly busy in ami
ont OF Cook county His opponents
affect to believe that he has started
too early, that he merely is running
around in circles. and that for this
reason it VIII be easy 10 overtake
him when the general start is made,
Some few forms Of the Cullom-LoIi-
MGR activity have come to the surface.
They appear 10 BIZ related merely to
matters Of organization in the var.
ious townships of the state or TO the
distribution Of federal patronage
The following document is one .'ex.
hihit in relation 10 organization which
does not appear dangerous or sinister,
but which illustrates one form OF
federal activity:

ling is sufficient to show the pralom-
nance Of William Lorimer in all the
Cullom plans. 81 far as Cook county

plans would mean the rehabilitation 90
JAMESON, I3idwill, Elhridge, Hanecy,
Fred Blount, John NJ. Smyth, and the
entire crowd which once controlled re
publican politics in Chicago.
Lorimer is trying hard to GUST Post

poets of success. He wants the place

tronage and such appointments as he
now has at his disposal to the old
crowd The bankrupt docket in the
district clerks Off Cd shows some OF
Eit in the appointments which have
heen made to receiYerships.
Down the state the influence Ct Lori

fought Cullom himself in the past.
