LORIMER IN PLEA
FOR vINDICATION
Senator Tells His Story to the
Veterans of Southern
Illinois.
STANDS FOR OLD METHOD
Holds Movement, of Progressives as
Wrong as Secession Was
WatmAn Replies.

Duquoin. H., Aug. 25.-The struggle
of progressive republicans against the
old order of things is as great a men
ace to the country as the secession OF
the southern states in 1861. according
to Senator Lorimer. The fight of the
insurgents means as much as the
war of the rebellion" he said.
Only one oratorical effort of his has
equaled in pathos the speech he deliv-
cred before the Southern Illinois Old
Soldiers and Sailors Reunion asso
citation here yesterday. That was the
occasion when he sought to vindicate
himself of the charge of bribery that
had been made against him before the
senate.
ASKS VETERANS AID.
= Yesterday he equaled his previous
record fc- eIcquence and fervor. if not
Tor duration. pleading for the retention
of the old order of things, and against
the order of progressives. Republi-
cans who believe in the initiative and
referendum or the recall were read
cut of the party by him and were
branded as socialists.
Wrapping the tatteIed banner Of the
civil war about his Office and waving
aIoft the rag of Washington and the
i3 original states, he quaveringly be-
seeched the veterans to rally once
more in defense of freedom and the
peoples government" and put down
this army OF Invaders who seek to de-
stroy representative government Ac-
cording to him, progressiveism is the
only thing under the blue armament"
which can destroy the constitution and
the nation.
ASSAILED BY WAYMAN.
A few hours later States Attorney
John E. w. Wayman, speaking from
the same rostrum and to the same au-
dience, assailed the man who lifts
his hand to stay the progress Of TIA
onward march to a better govern
ment," calling him an enemy to US
ALL"
The people of southern Illinois. par
ticularly the old soldiers and sailors,
have in two days been treated to three
republican speeches, one progressive
by Walter Clyde Jones, the only out
and-out gubernatorial candidate in the
field; one standpat by Senator Lori
mer, and one insurgent by States At
torney Wayman, a potential candidate
for governor. Now they do not know
what to think
Senator Lorimer and Mr.. Wayman
were scheduled to occupy the plat
form together, but the committee on
arrangements, fearing a clash, chang
ed the program so as to allow the SEN
ator TO speak in the afternoon and the
states attorney from Cook county was
given his choice between the morning
and evening.
WILLING TO BE "SEEN."
He chose the latter as Offering an
opportunity to reply" If there was any
thing TO reply to" in the senator's
speech He also had an opportunity
of connecting up Senator Lorimer and
the legislative scandal of 1909 with
less embarrassment than if the sena-
tor actually had been present.

DECORATION DAY.
A heavy rain Tuesday morning
made 1t disagreeable for a time for all
connected with the morning program,
but by noon the streets we're in fair
condition. The parade was formed
on Fifth street in front Of Grand
Army hall, headed by the band under
the leadership OF Prof. Clegg. Next
came Co.. f. Of the State Guard, in
handsome uniforms, under the COM
mand of Captain Bean, and b e''boys''
looked very much as the veterans
looked so years ago. The grand army
veterans followed the guardsmen, and
the ever faithful relief corps brought
up the rear. Some Of the more aged
veterans rode from the beginning Of
the march, while all but the guards
men had conveyances from the rail-
road crossing.
The usual Decoration Day program
was carried out at the cemetery after
which all returned to the city, and
the decoration Of the waters In honor
of the dead sailors followed.
The proposed program In G. A. r.
hall by SCHOOL children under the d.
rection Of Superintendent Boot and
the teachers vas not carried out on
account of sickness.
Fifty years Is a large link in the
life chain of the average person, yet
fifty years ago the gray haired veter-
ans who marched with the state
guardsmen Tuesday, were getting
ready to march into the southland to
defend the flag, and some Of those pa
triotic boys of long ago are fairly Wig
orous today while others are feeling
the weight OF years, and some were
sick and couldn't turned out, and the
day was generally observed by our
people In memory of the loved ones
who have passed away.
