L0R|MER IS SCORED
ROOT ARoUsES THE SENATE ~
VIGOROUS WORDS.
SAYS COUNTRY IS D|SGRACED
Rottenness Shown by Testimony SUIT
ficient to lnvalidate the Election
of lcrimer.

Washington-Senato Root of New
York on Friday leaped suddenly to
position OF leadership among the anti.
LOrimer forces in the senate. and
caused the case temporarily to be
lifted above the attacks upon the in.
dividual so as to bare the blOtch upon
the name of Illinois.
Hale. the veteran republican leader,
pleaded with tremulOus voice Tor
some friend of the state. and he sug'
ges;ed Senator -Culloni, to make re-
ply to Mr. Roots speech which would
exCnerate not Lorimer, but Illinois
y Il refuse to believe that so great a
people are rotten to the core. said
Senator Bailey of Texas. IF We are
to try senators on the general miscon'
duct OF legislators. then the senators
whose right is challenged now is not
the only one who must yield his seat.
His colleague. Mr.. Cullom. was
elected by one of those legislatures
and TO man here believes he was a
party to any OF these evil practices;
but still the case of LOrimer is the
case OF CullOm."
Senator Lorimer had numerous de
tenders who replied to the attack
upon him and the method OF his cleo
ton made by Mr.. Root. Chief among
them was Senator Reyburn OF Idaho.
4 member of the LOrimer investlSat-
ing committee. who charged that
some persons had entered into the at
tack upon Lorimer in the spirit OF a
man hunt.
The rottenEess shown by the testi-
mony, contended Mr.. Root. was suffi-
cient to invalidate the election Of
Lorimer. ard he asserted that all OF
the following of Lew O'Neil Browne.
the democratic leader in the Illinois
assembly was corrupt and the votes
of that following should have been
eliminated.
1t is fair to infer" he said. that
the committee was of the opinion
that corrupt methods and practices
were resorted to. but that their le-
gal effect was not such as to invali-
date Mr. LOrimer's election.
This view is sustained by the tes-
timony before us, and l regret to
say that after an examination Of this
testimony ! am constrained to disa-
gree with the members of the CON-
mittee.

IS TOO FREE WITH ITS FUNDS.

Lincoln.-The dignity Of the senate
received a rude jolt at the afternoon
session of the legislature Friday when
State Auditor Barton sent communi-
cation to its members pleasantly in
forming them that while he would be
delighted to oblige, them he really
could not place himself in the attitude
of violating a law Of the state, and
suggested that If they wanted to be
good to the employees of the senate
they might change the law relating to
the compensation thereof. AS 1t was,
he felt that he would have to refuse
to issue warrants for all wages OF
employees in excess of the legal rate.
Friday was payday, the first OF the
session, because the appropriation
bills had not been passed. and the re-
suit of the auditors action was some
thing of a surprise.
A few days ago. in burst Of gener-
Csity. the senate voted to increase the
pay of the pages to IS day. This
raised something OF storm among
the other employees. including the
stenographers. Hence the good-na-
tured upper house raised the wages OF
these employees to 81 a day. The
vouchers for pay under this resolu-
ton were made out for the first time
and sent to the auditor on Thursday.
Oils OF Valley, one of the ''insur-
gent" members of the majority side
OF the legislature. introduced bill
for the regulation of stock yards and
presented the first county option bill
offered in either house. The county
option bill introduced by MIN follows
the general plan OF the county option
conference held by county option re-
publicans and democrats recently.
with the possible exception that 1t
provides for submitting the question
OF county option at a general election
instead OF at special election. The
friends of the bill became convinced
that submission at special election
would add to the expense to be paid
by taxpayers and that it would be bet
ter to submit the question at a gener-
al election.
The Oils county option bill is SEN
ate file lis. 1t provides that 20 per
! cent of the voters is sufficient to sub
init the question and that submission
shall not be had oftener than once in
three years. each time at a general
election. Petitions must be filed for
submission rot more than sixty days
nor less than thirty days before cleo
ton. A majority of those voting on
the question shall control. The bill
simply seeks to suspend the present
license law as it applies to city. vii
lage and county boards when county
option carries.
