with the deciding vote on tho measure
late Tuesday afternoon.
There were few opponents OF the

wood bill. which establishes a pension
based on length of service. and the
advocates of the Sulloway age PEN
sion BILL which was passed by the
House last spring. but failed in the
Senate
The House presented remarkable
appearance as Isaac r. Sherwood, the
oldest member of the House, and a for
Iner general in the Union ranks. in an
hours speech, advocated the purpose
OF his measure. The members crowded
ABOUT the open space in front of the
Speakers desk. sat IN the aisles, and
hung over desks to get within range
OF the voice Of the Ohio member. who
has advocated pension of 81 a day

than ninety days, but less than six
months: $50 a month for a service up
to nine months; sa5 month for ser
Vice up to one year: $40 for a service
more than one year. No pension Is to
be allowed veterans who have incomes

Strenuous objection was made to the
provision that an income OF $1,000
should make veteran Ineligible for
pension. Those opposed to II declared
1t would "penalizc thrift" General
Sherwood declared the pension was de-
signed not as an added honor to ex-
soldiers, but to relieve real distress.

ILLINOIS. Politics.

Washington, D. c., December s.
Frederick Lundin. OF Chicago, former
Representative. in Congress of the Sixth
District of~Illinois. furnished an inter
osting half-hour to-day before tho
Senate committee investigating the
election of Senator Lorimer, when he
related some OF the workings of Illinois
politics. Lundin declared that Cover

but didn't quite dare take 1t because
his masters. the newspapers of Chi
cago. would not let him"
Lundin testified that in 1909, prior to
the senatorial election. he talked with
Governor Deneen about the deadlock
and It's effect on the party. "Deneen
said he had discussed. with Senator
Lorimer whether he ought to be elected
with Democratic votes" said Lundtn
we talked of plans to unite the Re-
publicans of the Legislature on some
body who could be elected"
The witness then told the story of
the fight on Senator Hopkins. THE
object was to get several men voting
for Hopkins to vote for somebody
else" he said. THAT would have made
the deadlock more serious, ms 1t took
votes away from a strong candidate
and that was what Deneen wanted
Deneen at that time saw no hope for
Hopkins. He wanted to make the dead
lock secure because he thought the
Republicans In general had not voted
for Hopkins, who had tried to carry
water on both shoulders. Deneen
wanted the senatorship himself, but
didn't quite dare take it because his
masters would not let him"
Who were his masters?" asked Sen
ator Lea.
The newspapers in Chicago" said
Mr.. Lundin They probably thought
Deneen could do them more good as
Governor than he could as q Senator.
While he was making up his mind he
was anxious to have the deadlock con-
tinucd. so he could keep anybody else
from getting It. Deneen was for Los

election. and then he was aGninst him %
