ed to with hreathless attention. He
promised to tell the entire truth re-
garding his election and said. Eff
forts have been made to cover this
whole case with a shadow of suspi-
cion and make It appear that some
man OF surprising ability and Won
derful power organized the Illinois
legislature to defeat Hopkins. Some
declared that this wonderful man was

Lorimer denied that he had ever
wished TO organize the legislature
against Hopkins or that he had ever
so organized It. He said that on the
day that Edward Shur;len was elect

Lorimer added. "Shurtleff was elected
because OF a condition which arose
in the state. Governor Deneen op-
