THE MAN HIGHER up IN The
LORIMER CASE.

The investigation into the circum-
stances Of the election Of Senator Lori
mer of Illinois has reached the stage
where search Is being made for the
~rnan higher up States Attorney
WaFznan wants to locate this iudi-
EiGuaI for the purpose Of finding out
who it was that directed the business OF
bzibing members OF the Legislature for
the purpose of getting them TO vote
for Senator Lorimer- It is alleged that
three members of the house of the
Legislature have confessed TO receiving
81 900 each 10 vote for Lorimer. but
thus far there has been no light shed
on the question Of where the brides
came from
So far nothing has developed to show
that Senator Lorimer had any hand
IN the distribution of brides. There
Is nothing to prove that ne engineered
an effort corruptly to gam votes in his
behalf Under the circumstances IT viii
be well TO wait until the investira ton
by the States attorney Is concluded
before passing any Judgment. OF indulg-
ing IN criticism of the Illinois Senator.
It must be said. however, that the
disclosures thus far look bad enough
st best. IF the confessions have been
made which States Attorney Way
man says have been made, It points To
q condition Of things IN the Legislature
OF Illinois that calls for wholesale
housecleaning.
Tt was widely Ielt when Senator
Lorimer was elec-ed- IN view of his
career as a boss in Chicago and the
unsavcry sort OF policies with which
he had long been identified that It
was an III choice Tor a great State
Ike Illinois. At the same time. this
Is no reason why he Is not entitled TO
fair investigation and hearing in the
present Situation
The present scandal ought TO serve
as a lesson to the people Of Illinois
