Washington.-Senator Norris Brown
of Nebraska in speech before the SEN
ate charged that Senator William Lor
inner of Illinois must have known that
his election to the senate by the Illi-
nois legislature was accomplished by
corrupt practice. He held that Sena-
tors Holstlaw and Broderick and Rep
resentatives Lee O'Neil Browne,
White, Link, Beckemeyer and Wilson
had been bought to elect Lorimer SEN
ator; that Browne and Speaker Ed
ward D. Shurtleff of the Illinois house
of representatives were the political
agents of Mr.. Lorimer in accomplish
ing his election, and that it was not
possible for the election to have been
brought about under the conditions
then existing except by corrupt prac-
tees. Mr.. Brown devoted most of his
remarks to an analysis Of the testi-
mony which involved directly the rela-
tions of Lorimer, Shurtleff and
Browne and the relations of Browne
with his thirty minority followers. Mr..
Brown issued challenge to obstruc-
tionists that he would hold up appro-
priation bills unless the senate votes
at this session on the Lorimer case,
the resolution pertaining to the elec-
tion of senators by the people, the bill
to create a permanent tariff board and
