While Roosevelt believes fight

be hsalthfui, he does not favor q
degree Of Insurgency that threatens
to disrupt the party at the polls,
and will probably deliver some
speeches in the congressional cam

turn Of republicans to congress.
When Roosevelt speaks before the
national conservation congress in

will declare himself again for the

ed under the head of "ot}ier matters
will probably be the charge of bribery
in the election of Senator Lorimer last

secret meetings with persons interested
in forcing an airing of the entire scan

and state legislation favorable to the
interests of the railroad.
More Bribery Shown.
The Tribune today gives the following
resume Of additional evidence in the
senatorial bribery charges:
State Senator Isley, Of Jasper county,
says: "a democratic senator-an hon
est man, in whose word I have every
conf1dence-told me just before Mr..
Lorimer was elected senator, that he
had been offered $1,000 if he would vote
for Mr.. Lorimer and use his influence
with another legislator to do the same.
He refused"
Representative Jacob Groves, Of
Adams county says: II was awakened
from sleep at o'clock the morning of
the day Of Lorim er's election by par
ty who requested me to vote for Lori
mer, informing me it would be good
thing for me. My interviewer wanted
to lower the transom, but informed
him it made no difference who heard
what had to say. On seeing the stand
I took he left without going into details
as to what the good thing was"
Letters written by Lee O'Nefl Browne
to Representative White give details OF
how legislators secured passes from
the railroads in Illinois and from the
Pullman company.
Other Browne letters show how
Browne secured a SIS a month job for
White in the county clerks office. The
job was secured after White voted for
Lorimer and thru Lorimer's influence
The process was from Lorimer's secre-
tary, to Lorimers friend Monahan, and
then to the county clerk. White re-
fused the job.
Browne also relates in a letter to
White last November how Lorimer was
to provide a federal job for White
when he reached Washington. The job
was to be secret service position.
