CHICAGO, March 3.-The vindicar
ton OF william Lorimer In the United
States senate has placed Chicago's
Republican leaders in q Quandary.
AS junior senator, Lorimer must be
reckoned with as a political power.
AS Republican nominee for mayor OF
Chicago, Alderman Charles f, Mer-
RAM likewise must be considered.
Merriam's nomination, his friends say,
was in the nature of q public rebuke
to Lorimer, John r. Thompson, the
organization candidate having been
a staunch Lorimer man.
There Is an organized movement
to give Lorimer public demonstra-
ton in the Coliseum, or a monster 81
a-plate banquet, upon his return.
Merriam would probably make him
self conspicuous by his absence. The
refusal of Merriam and his followers
to participate would necessarily give
an affront to the Lorimer forces that
would lead to reprisals Of political
nature. A factional fight in the Re
