LAFOLETTE AGAIN ATTACKS LOR|MER
 - Says Taft's Name Was Used Illegitimately DISCUSSES MIR. HINES Senator Says Hines Was Much in Evidence During Lorimer Probe and Showed Himself Impu-
 dent and Brazen

Washington, May 24.-Revelations con- corning the election of Senator Lorimer of Illinois may be expected as the result of a second investigation into the bribery charges against him, if the predictions made by Senator LaFolette, in the de- livery today of the third installment Of his argument in support of his resolution of inquiry. are realized.
 MT. LaFolette prophesied that twice more than the $1OO,O00 heretofore alleged to have been used would be found to have been spent in Lorimer's behalf. He said President Tafts name had been used in Lorimers behalf and reiterated that Lorimer had had personal cognizance of the use of money in his behalf There is A mine of facts which I venture to predict will be opened up and which will be more shocking and appalling than any that has yet been revealed he declared
 MT. LaFollette quoted from the testi- mony given by Edward Hines. Chicago lumberman, before the Lormer investi- gating committee of the Illinois legisla- ture regarding MT. Hines interviews with limited States Senators Aldrich and -'en- rose. in which Mir Hines said MT. Ald- rich repeatedly had impressed upon him the importance of Lorimer's election and had told him President Taft was espe- cially concerned in Lorimers behalf. Re- ferrins to the Hines statement concern ing A long distance telephone conversa- tion between Washington and Springfield, held by Hines with Lorimer, pending the election at Springfield, MT. LaFollette said that at Lorimers request Hines had teleeraphed to Lormer the substance of his telephone representations to him. This telegram could and should be procured, he said.
 Saving that this conversation had been held to present to Lorimer the Presi- dents alleged solicitude that he should make the race, MT. LaFollette said; There is no proof that the President was interfering, but I think there was scheme to put Lorimer through and it was believed that the use of the Presi- dents rame would be potential. There Is no doubt that his name was used in a telegram and no doubt that 1t was used behind locked doors and drawn screens. It helped to influence mem hers who could not be reached other wise."
 Attacks Hines
 Discussing Hines activity in the Lor- inner campaign, which was accounted for on the ground that Lorimer would favor a duty on lumber, LaFollette said that during the last Lorimer inves- tigation by the Senate, Hines was much in evidence about the capitol at Wash- ington. "He sought senators at every turn and was brazen and fmpudent in his work" he said How he was re- ceived in all cases I do not know, but do know that in some cases he was rebuked." He said Hines had appeared again at the opening up of the ques- tion this session. Then evidently re- ferring to the election of Senator Stephenson of Wisconsin, though not mentioning his name, MT. LaFollette said: lt
 "In another senatorial campaign in Wisconsin his (Hines) henchmen were notoriously active for the successful candidate and his principal agent has not dared to remain within tho borders of the state"
