HIS HOME LIFE.

SINCE his advent in the National Cap
- ital many a little sideIight has been
thrown upon his personality. He lives
at the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton building. His family remains in
Chicago, but there is scarcely a week
that passes that Lorimer does not take
a flying trip home. He has become
known as the Chicago
travelling Senator"
Another habit denoting his devotion
20 his family is that OF the invariable
daily use of the long distance telephone.
1t is said that no matter where Senator
LortT0er may be, nor how widely sep
aratei from his family, that each night
he calls up the absent ones and talks
individually to every member Of the
family IN reach.
His latter-day successes have been
as full and as rapid as his earlier
struggles were almost tragic. In ad-
dition to the honor Of being a United
States Senator. Lorimer has been
beautifully blessed with this worlds
goods. He is the president Of the
LaSalle Street National and the La
Sale Street Trust and Savings Banks,
which recently opened with $4,000, 900
deposits. He is also the head Of two
big contracting concerns, the Federal
Improvement Company and LOfimer *
Gallagher.
The Washington times., 1910-05-22

Jackpot allegations. which have stir
red up much indignation in the capital
and Throughout the state, this tack
pot' being termed a general corrup-
ton fund.
The narrative now should revert 20
Senator Lorimer, whose political life
may be al stake. al least so far as the
United states Senate Is concerned. Lori
mer's friends have docl1ed 70 him with
the same vigor that others have made
accusations Whatever may be the crit
icism OF Lor'Ine OF his friends as poll
ucians, even the Lorimer enemies admit
that self-made man OF the Lorimer
type IS deserving Of great personal
credit and praise
He bUilded from the ground I'd, as a
review Of his life shows. The handi-
work Of Lorime'-, in politics and IN com
Uerctal life, may be seen on every side
in Chicago today. and the story OF his
meteoric rise IN the world Of finance and
national affairs is one with which every
weN-pOsted Chica goan is familiar.
The Washington times., 1910-05-22

perturbabillty would be shaken BY
the recent disclosures Of the alleged
vote buying IN his behalf IN the Ssna-
torial contest at Springfield in May,
-Sv5, were mistaken or disappointed,
as the case may be. Billy Lo-imer
did not become excited for a moment
he did not hasten 10 do any OF the
things which his political enemies
clamored for in the name OF pro-
priety.

strons mind. Senator LorimeTs critics
are IN doubt Behind his dropping

merriment, but seldom a fash %

Answers Charge
In Characteristic Manner.

The bribery charges as to Lorimer's
election came upon the eve of the
opening Of his banks. He heard the
story, and then, al his characteristic,
calm way, observed:
cit is a scheme to injure me fnan-
cially, and TO thwart my plans for the
opening OF the banks"
II was a startling confession by
state Representative Charles A. White
that brought on the present investi-
cation affecting Lorimer's title to a
seat in the Senate. White declared
that he had been paid $1,000 to vote
for Lorimer, and that he also re-
celved 5000 as his share of a lack
pot" divided after the session ended.
White said that other Democrats
were approached. and he accused Lee
O'Neil Browne, the Democratic minor
ity leader II the Illinois house of
representatives, of bribing him TO vote
for Lorimer.
1t vas on account of these charges,
published in the Tribune. April so,
that sweeping grand jury investiga-
ton begun, both IN Cook county,
where = part Of the bribe was alleged
to have been paid, and in Sangamon
county, in which the capital. SPRING
field. is located.
White insisted in his confession that
he had accepted the bride for the sole
purpose of later exposing the corrup-
ton, but he admitted that he had used
up his salary and was hard pressed
for money.

OF the attributes that have made Tim
Sullivan, OF New York. both successful
and famous Lorimer knows practically
everybody in his ward he IS a man OF

If there IS a funeral LOTimer goes or
sends some one 20 extend HIS sympathy
and to bear flowers denoting his inter
est in his people. He is approachable,
slow to anger, generous IN proportion 10
his riches and he rules by kindness
rather than bulldOzing
