Darrow, said that it was the right and

severy citizen to become informed upon
the question upon which he shall vote.
Mr.. Darrow spoke two years ago in

FIGHT ON DENEEN
Senator Lorimer Preparing to
Defeat the Governor at
Primaries.
MAY HAVE cULLoM's HELP
Said That State Executive Has Taken
an Untenable Position on Deep
Waterway.

Washington, March 31.-Can sena
torial combination be formed by MT
Lorimer which will cause Governor
Deneen any Inconvenience? This
question is being discussed by mem
bers OF the Illinois congressional dele
CATION familiar with the intention OF
Mr.. Lorimer to precipitate the deep
water way question as an issue for a
contest with the governor for popular
favor.
1t would appear from Developments
that Mr.. Lorimer is confident Of the
support of his colleague. On the
other hand, Senator Cullom Is not dis
GUESSING the situation, nor indicating
any determined course of procedure.
From what can be learned of Mr..
Lorimer's purposes he will charge Gov
ernor Deneen with responsibility for
the adjournment of the legislature
without the appointment of a commit
tee to meet a federal board of engi-
neers to arrange a plan Of cooperar
ton.
Fight ON Power Project.
Mr.. Lorimer will base his campaign
upon the ground that the water way
should be jointly constructed for pur-
poses of navigation, and 1t is stated
that he is getting ready to charge
that the governor has not only made
the grievous error of causing irritating
and expensive delay while the govern
ment board is awaiting the meeting
Of the legislature to appoint a state
board, but that he occupies an untena-
BILE position In restricting his support
of the water way to its utilization for
power purposes.

There is great confusion of terms In

call It Demerara, and the reader or

again confuses strangers. The truth
Is, Demerara is the central, smallest

to which the sailors refer Is George
