White Is the Limit.

All of the trouble was traced To
Charles a. White by the Florida sena-
tor, who denounced that member of the
Illinois Legislature as "the limit in
many "disreputable directions"
Mr.. Lorimer was stoutly defended
against the charge of knowledge of any
bribery that may have been practiced,
az he was against all plotting with
Browne or others In connection with
the senatorship.
Calling attention to the fact that
Lorimer did not come into the contest
until after the senatorial deadlock in
the Illinois legislature had continued
four months, the speaker contended
that Lorimer had been the natural
candidate.
Dwelling at length upon the un-
savory character of some of the trans
actions of the Illinois legislature, the
Florida senator urged that no one WAS
justified in concluding that on this ac-
count Mr. Lorimer was a beneficiary
