and opponents of Senator Lorimer OF
Illinois are today pondering over the
outspoken sentiment of Rabbi Steph-
ems Wise of New York, delivered be-
fore Sons Of the American Revolu-

The rabbi dealt severely with the re

Illinois. and expressed himself as
on the evil effect II would have on
American politics II the junior sena-
tor from Illinois was allowed to keep
his seat in the senate, stating that
It would be a tishonor to American

BY United Press Wire.

Columbus, Feb. 3.-Rejoicings
of the loan sharks and collection
agencies over the killing of the Hill
enkamp justice of the peace bill by a
trick yesterday afternoon were prema-
ture. Speaker vining believes that he
unknowingly lent himself to an in
justice and has given assurance that
he win do all in his power to bring
the bill to vote on its merits. In
consultation last night with Hillen-
kamp and parliamentary authorities
on both sides of the house, 1t was de-
cided that the house would go to the
order for resolutions and motions
and that the speaker would rule that
majority Is sufficient to take the bill
from the table. Hillenkamp has the
sympathy of the house and 1t is be-
lieved the move will be successful.
