partment's Automobile Division have
been working day and night to meet
the demands. The belief is that the
licenses will pass 10000 within a
fortnight, because the weather has
stimulated the desire to run ma
chimes, and those which were housed
up last fall when winter began are
being gotten out

great extent, do away with the prac'
tice of the majority party stealing

| Washington, D. c., March 1.-THE
Senate of the United States welcom
ed into it's fold Wednesday Afternoon
| William Lorimer, of Illinois, by {
vote of 46 to 40, following the mos
acrimonious and extended contest o.
the kind in the history of the coun
| try.
With forty senators convinced tha
Lorimer's election had been brough
about by fraud and corruption, anC
appealing up to the very last minute
against his admission on the grounC
that the welfare of the country wal
at stake, the majority calmly ac
cepted him.
The final scene in the famous
case was perhaps the most dramatic
witnessed here in years. 1t was like
the closing act of a great murdei
trial, except that it was on large
and more impressive scale. Lorime
had pleaded for his political life
f, with all the fervor of man actual.
