Here's History Of the
Famous Lorimer Case

The Lorimer controversy FIRST began
to assume definite shape on May 2s,
1910, when Lorimer arose to q ques-
tion OF personal privilege and called
attention to certain newspaper allega-
lions. These declared that the legis.
lature of Illinois had been Improperly
Influenced by the use OF money and
that Ixrimer, the beneficiary, had
guilty knowledge that Democratic
votes had been purchased for him.
After denying all the charges pre-
ferred against him, Lorimer demand

his speech he offered resolution In
structing the committee on privileges
and elections to Examine the allega
tons recently made In the public
press, charging that bribery and cor
ruption were practiced In the electior
OF William Lorimer."
Il was held by senate authorities
that no cognizance could be taken Of
Lorimer's request as no charges had
been fled with the COMMITTEES. News
paper articles did not constitute the
basis for an oficial inquiry. When
that conclusion became known, one
OF the franchise organizations In lila
nois filed formal charges.
On June IS, 1910, Senator Burrows
introduced a resolution. providing FOL
q comprehensive investigation OF the
allegations made against Lorimer. and
1t was adopted.
Seven members OF the COMMITTEES
on privileges conducted an inquiry
during the autumn months. Six oi
them, Senator Frazier dissenting, pre-
pared q report generating Lorimer
This conclusion was accepted by the
full committee, with the exception Of
