expenses and taxes during the calendar

SATURDAY EVENING. APRIL l;

ELECTION of William Lorimer from
the United States Senate, unless fore
stalled by his resignation, is apparently
assured. The majority by which ne
was whitewashed in the last congress
has disappeared by the retirement q
ton senators who voted for him, and IN
addition, men who voted for him before
have declared they will not dc 80 again.
These men are republicans, members
of what remains OF the old guard IN the
Senate of the United States and they
have learned how strongly their former
actor, is resented by the general puoiic
in the face of the almost overwhelming
evidence that Lorimer's election was
the result Of bribery. The Lor'mer
case, these men say was bad enough
before. It has been made far worse py
testimony showing tbs existence OF a
great corruption fund, which they nave
no doubt was used to make Lorihler
election possible. Except that they
are not seeking publicity, they are
making no concealment Of their con-
illusions among members OF the Senate.
AS the situation exists, the supporters
ofJor;mer as whole lave surrendered
ana those who can be counted upon to
rally to his defense are the few repHo
,;cans and democrats who are Wlllihe
to vote as the special interests WHICH
Lorimer represents shall, direct REGARD
less both of evidence and public senti-
ment. The statement published ie"
DAYS ago had been that Lorimer woulo
be permitted to choose between eSpul'
sion and a resignation, has been amply
confirmed. Those familiar with Lori
mer's views on the subject declare he VII
not resign and therefore his eJectment Il
considered inevitable. The indications
all point to the adoption of the La
Toilette resolution with little opposition
and the immediate reopening OF the
case by the special committee named
in the resolution to make the new IN
vestieation, This will he done regard
less OF any new testimony which may
be obtained by the legislative commit
tee now investigating the case at Spring
field.
