reduction of duties would destroy the
beet industry, and thus render il neces-
sary to send SI90,o00,00 year out OF

Springfield, ILL.,, May Ex-senator
William Lorimer late last night an
nCunced in formal statement his in
tention to remain in Springfield ana
take up with the general assembly the
question of cooperation between the
federal government and the state of
Illinois on the construction of deep
waterway. When that matter has been
considered and the time seems fit, the
newly elected senator will journey to
Washington.
In the statement, Senator Lorimer
touched on the bipartisan alliance
which elected him and spoke of the
deep waterway project with which he
is identified.
Thanks the Assembly.
.rhe statement of Senator Lorimer in
part follows:
1T is needless for me to say that
am deeply sensible for the honor con-
ferrcd upon me by an election to the
United States senate and that | fully
realize the responsibility | assume in
the acceptance of the honor. | trust
that my service in the greatest delibera-
tive body in the world will justify this
action of the general assembly of Hi
nois.
''The election came as the result OF
widespread desire TO end the situa-
tion, which was fast becoming intol-
cradle to the people of the state, re-
gardless of party, and it was on this
account and in answer to this COM
mand that so many of the democratic
leaders were willing to join with the
republicans to break the deadlock. The
democrats saw very plainly that the
election of one of their party was out
of the question, and that the only solu-
tion lay in the election of a republican
who would be most acceptable to them
personally.
Sill Loyal to Party.
"Under this condition of affairs it is
certain that no democrat stultified him
self by voting for a republican. and
am sure that my convictions on great
party principles have not been changed
by the fact that members of the op-
posite party cast their votes for me.
I'm my service in the national house
of representatives, have come to look
upon the proposed deep waterway from
the lakes to the gulf as my mission in
congress. On account of the stupen
dous nature of the undertaking, il
would naturally move slowly to the
point of established legislation, and
has consequently been a source of con
stant con cern to me that through the
uncertainties of politics | might be de
prived of seat in congress at time
when my work would be of most valuS
to this project For this reason, my
election to the senate, carrying as i
does a tenure of office for six years
will allow me to devote my time anc
energy continuously to the accomplish
ment of the task that | have laid ou
for myself Within the term for which
/ have been elected | hope and expec
to see deep waterway from the lakes
to the gulf well under way"

Resolutions Adopted.

The resolutions which were adopted
express loyalty to the state executive
committee and commend unreservedly
the work of Secretary Brown and AS
sistant Secretaries Bruner, Bowman
and Mcdonald and their helpers" They
suggest that the convention consider
the advisability of forming a state as
sociation and commend the efforts to
secure the services of Karl a. Schu-
maker as state secretary
On the adoption of the resolutions,
it being evident that there could be
no radical action put through, the sec
retaries hurriedly caught up their
grips, shook hands, and made run for
their trains.
1t is likely that there will be Lively
contest in the state convention, and
that while the difficulties which threat
ened to disrupt the entire state or
ganization have for the time been sup
pressed. they will break out again at
| the convention.
