SOUNDS ALARM
Distribution Of Wealth Of the

Question
By The United Press.

By The United Press.
WASHINGTON. May 27.-In a bomb
like speech. Senator Albert b. Cum
Minis, Of Iowa. at the graduating ex-
ercises Of the Washington College Of
Law declared last evening that the
shadow of a bloody revolution hangs
over the United States.
within a decade" said Cummins,
1--WE will see whether the grievances
OF today will be settled by law or by
the manner that has been I'm eXis-
tence for 1000 years-the revolution
OF violence and terror and bloodshed.
1--WE are living in a period of revo-
luton. There Is danger IN the spirit
Of discontented men who would rebel
against the law Our institutions at
this day are IN the balance.
Distribution OF Wealth.
"The greatest problem that We are
facing tody. and the one upon which
the American republic will be wreck
ed, If Il Is ever wrecked, is the ques-
ton Of distribution Of the wealth Of
the nation.
Il do not for a moment suggest the
opportunity Is what Is needed In this
country today. Until recently the law
Of competition which is the survival
OF the fttest has ruled the commerce.
of this country. Now the business Ia
being concentrated into the hands OF
few, and the vast opportunity that
once existed Is being taken away. II
the law Of competition disappears and
the mighty combinations come into
control of the wealth of the country
there are only two remedies-the Ak
ing Of prices on all commodities BY
the Government, just as it now fxeI
rates, or the judicial restoration o
the creed of competition.
Competition has been called waste
full. evil and cruel. But I would rath
er have all of its wastefulness, IL
evil and its cruelty. than that on'
power shall have the right TO sal
what prices shall be paid for all com
modities used by the people OF this

NOW ANXIOUS
ABOUTLORIMER
Belief in Senate That Illinois
Member viii
Resign
BUT CLOSE FRIENDS
SAY He WILL HOLD ON
BY The United Press.

Dl 1 ne AhlttA iltons
WASHINGTON. May 27.-whether
Lorimer of Illinois will resign is a
bis question in Senate circles today.
His remaining friends declare that he
will not surrender" They say that
he has never resigned and they do not
expect him to break any records. On
the other hand. It is said that Lorlmer
never in his career has had such a
favorable opportunity" for resigning.
Senate history shows that a resigna-
tion can be utilized even in very
late stage of an investigation. Clarke,
the Montana copper magnate In his
first term was placed on the grill. Just
before the report was ready he re-
signed as he knew the verdict was
against him.
Wants Action Postponed.
That Lorimer desires time to con-
slider the resignation question or 10
strengthen his defense is indicated
by the fact that he has appealed to col
leagues TO have action postponed re-
garding the new investigation. The an
swer he received from a venerable
senator in whom he placed great de-
pendence was that If he wanted any
postponing done he would have to
come to Washington and look after IL
himself
Despite Lorimer's record as a man
who would see any kind of a fight to
the end. there is a strong belief I'm the
Senate that If he cannot evade an in
vestigation, he will resign. The main
basis for this belief is that he can-
not allow his friends to be exposed
before the whole country for the part
they took in his election. The pros
poets are now that the new inyestiga-
tion will be ordered by the Senate
Monday and by practically a unani-
nous vote.
