Want to Whitywash Him Again,


It is plain thas the friends of Sen
ator Lorimer III the United States
Senate are trying hard to get his
case In the hands Of a whitewash
committee shouad 1t be reopened,
which now seems inevitable. In
the fact of the overwhelming public
opinion it Is hardly likely that any
considerable number of senators
would oppose the reopening of the
case. That feature of the matter
seems to he settled. Even Lorimer's
friends sees that he must be investi-
gated by the Senate again.
His standpat supporters in both
parties want the investigation to be
conducted by his friends. They want
him committed again to the tender
mercies of the committee on priv
ileges and elections. The committee
is composed Of Senators Dillingham;,
Gamble, Hepburn, Clapp, Sutherland,
Bradley, Jones, Oliver and Kenyon,
republicans; Bailey, Paynter, john
ston, Fletcher, I--ern and Lee, demo-
Gratis. OF this lumber, Dillingham;,
Gamble, Hepburn, Sutherland, Brad
ley, Jones Oliver, Bailey, Paynter,
Johnson and Fletcher are standpat-
ters, friendly TO Lorimer. Clapp.
Kenyon, Kern and Lea are progress
sives.
The LaFollette resolution which is
now up for consideration in the SEN
ate, names a special committee,
Works of California, Mclean of Con-
necticut, Townsend of Michigan,
Kern of Indiana and Pomerene Of
Ohio. One progressive Republican
and two standpatters, and two DEM
ocrats. Mr.. LaFollette urges the ne
cessity of committee of new men,
bers because the old members have
all voted on the question and are
on record either as Lorimer partis-
ans or in favor of ousting him.
If the resolution is sent to the
committee on privileges and elections
and it appears likely that it will
be because it will. receive the support
of reactionary democrats and republi-
cans alike-Mr. Lorimer will be in
vestigated by friendly committee.
That is the meaning Of the contest
now before the senate. The Spar
tanburg Journa! says in addition to
the case being tried by committee
of Lorimer supporters, vote to send
it to the committee on privileges and
elections will mean, in all probability
the delaying Of action in the case un-
til late into the regular session next
winter, while the progressives are
urging a speedy Investigation and an
early vote.
