Chicago, Sept 20-The full story
of the Illinois senatorial scandal,
which has already attracted much pub
lie attention through ex-President
Roosevelt's direct rebuff to United
States Senator William L. Lorimer, is
expected to be brought to light by the
congressional committee which has
been called to meet at the Congress
Hotel in this city today to begin its
investigation of the charges made
against Lorimer in connection with
his election to the senate. Owing to
the inability of several of the men,
bers of the committe to arrive on
time and the absence of some persons
whose testimony is desired, it may
be several days before the real inves-
tigation begins. When it does get
under way, according to those who
have been pushing the charges against
Lorimer, the scandal surrounding the
political career of the blonde boss"
and especially the circumstance sur
rounding his election to the senate,
will be shaken until it's bones rattle.
On the other hand, Senator Lorimer
has many loyal friends and followers
who predict that the charges made
against him will prove flash in the
pan, or plot Matched by his enemies
to bring about his political downfall.
Unbiased opinion, however, inclines to
the belief that thorough investiga-
ton will reveal an interesting story
concerning the Illinois legislature and
its ways of doing business, of how
some democratic members have been
at the beck and call of the republican
bosses when legislative measures of
certain class were pending, and of
various other peculiar conditions
which have been known to exist for
years but which heretofore have never
been dragged into the light.
William Lorlmer, for years the re-
publican boss of Chicago and a men,
Der of the national house of repre-
sentatives, was elected by the Illinois
legislature a U. S. senator year ago
last spring, after a deadlock had ex-
listed for over four months, defeating
Albert ]. Hopkins, the choice of the
