LOR|MER'S APPEAL
TO SENATE IN
OWN BEHALF
Illinois Senator Made Out a
Strong Case For Himself
HE DENIED ALL BRIBERY
Elected by His Friends He Says and
These Included Both Republicans
and Democrats

Washington, Feb. 22.-in a speech
that for four hours was listened to
with close attention on the floor and
in the galleries, Senator Lorimer this
afternoon defended the validity of his
election and his right to a seat In the
Senate. 1t evoked the sympathy OF
the crowds that jammed the galleries
to their utmost limit, and when 1t was
ended there was burst OF applause
which it took some time for the Vice
President to check. Not only were
the galleries crowded, but almost
every Senator was in his seat and
back of the desks most of the open
space was occupied by members OF
the House and others who have the
floor privilege.
In a deliberate, dignifed manner,
with no small rhetorical ability, In a
clear, strong voice that easily filed
the chamber and with an air of sim
cerlty and frankness that evidently
carried conviction TO many OF his
hearers, Senator Lorimer gave crap
hic description of the beginnings, the
developments and the upbuilding of a
great political machine in Chicago.
He laid bare the sources Of power OF
such an organization, and gave In de
tail instances Of personal services
that he used to account for the ulti-
mate OF obligation In Democratic
votes for himself 1t was sketch
by its builder of the workings of the
Lorimer machine, with all through II
the intimation or assertion of the
complete propriety OF its actions.
AS If 1t were absolutely impossible
for question OF means or motive ever
to arise, he told Of the distribution
Of patronage in Chicago, OF handling
his share of between 10000 and 10,
600 places and of the resultant at
traction of Democratic voters to his
camp So he laid the foundation fol
the establishment Of the numerous
close friendships with Democrats
which accounted, no explained. fol
the votes of thirty-four OF the Demo
Gratis who helped to make him Sena
tor These thlrty-four he said in
iluenced the other nineteen Demo
Gratis, including O'Neil and Browne.
There was nothing OF the record o.
testimony taken by the Senate Com
mittee in all this The names o
Link and White and Holtzlaw. mel
who told OF bribery, did not occur
and there was no effort to dissect IN,
testimony of this or that witness
There was no counting OF the tainted
votes or any effort to explain b!
mathematical calculations how no
sufficient faint had been shown TO In
validate the election. There was tn,
simple and simply told tale OF tn,
hardships Of boyhood struggles for
living and the formation OF undyinl
friendships then which brought hin
Democratic votes when he needel
them. Then at the end there was
general comprehensive denial-no
that bribery was practiced. but tina
It was practiced by Lorimer or witt

ANNE IA TON NOT.
OBJECT TO Be
REACHED
Reciprocity Will Not Lead TO
Political Union
CANADA AMENDS TREATY
French Group When Accused Of Dis.
loyalty Forces Parliament to
Go on Record
CANADA AMENDS TREATY

Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 22.-The Cana
dian Parliament today formally and
unanimously declared its sentiment
to be that the reciprocity agreement
with the United States should not
lead to the annexation Of Canada and
that the tie to Great Britain should
be preserved.
Neither the government nor the OPP
position intended to make this dec
laration when the House opened at
D. m. They we're surprised when
the proposal came from the French
Nationalist group which has been
freely charged with disloyalty to
Great Britain because of its stand on
the naval issue.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier and r. i. Bor
don, Finance Minister, had planned
that the reciprocity debate should fol-
low its regular course, and the Prime
Minister had moved the House into
committee for that purpose when f.
ID. Monk, the Chief French Nationa-
list, declared that in Canada, the
United States, and Great Britain
some public men and a part of the
press had stated the annexation was
bound to follow reciprocity He be
lieved there was no genuine annexa-
tion sentiment in Canada, and that a
statement to that effect should be
formally made. He, therefore, moved
an amendment declaring that with a
view to dlspelling the feeling Of I'M
rest created in Canada by comments
made in the United States and Cana
da as to the political consequences Of
the agreement the House wishes to
affirm emphatically its determination
to preserve intact the bond which
unites Canada to the British Empire
and the full liberty of Canada to con-
troll her fiscal policy and internal
autonomy"
Sir Wilfrid Laurier quickly accept
ed the Monk amendment
This discussion in which we are
engaged has given rise to great deal
of comment on both sides Of the
line" be said in doing so. Men
there are in the United States who
have interpreted this agreement as
meaning ultimately the annexation OF
Canada. Men there are on this side
of the line who have taken the same
position, but am glad to say there is
not one man on this side of the
House who has ever thought of any
such thing. II appears that men
there are on the side of the House on
which Mr.. Monk sits whose views on
this question are disturbed, and who
believe that in the discussion of the
question OF better trade arrange
ment between us and our neighbors
the Canadian people would be SC

as the honorable gentleman breads.

side OF the House. But ii it is neces-
sary, in order to strengthen the way

accepting the motion, and to say that
this discussion will in no way affect
or jeopardize the allegiance of this
country to the mother land This
motion aifirms a principle which
everybody is persuaded OF, and which
no one needed to affirm
Il can tell the Prime Minister this"
said Mr. Borden, leader Of the Opposi-
ton, that if this reciprocity pro
position means anything it means
commercial union between Canada
and the United States in the end"
He declared he was of the opinion
that the American Congress would
not accept the proposal on economic
grounds, but because it would lead to
political absorption.
w. F. MacLean declared there was
the germ of annexation in the agree
ment which had been Connected by
Sir Wilfrd the new Car of Canada,
and President Taft, "the Car of the

SCHOHAR|E GIVES
De OCRATS A
BAD JOLT
Shows the Sheehan Crowd What
the Folks Think
BY GOING REPUBLICAN
Schoharie County Has Almost Al
ways Been Democratic Even
When Alone as In 1895

Albany, Feb. 22-With the legislative
leaders still insisting that Tammany
Leader Murphy is as firmly bound as
ever to William f. Sheehan's candi-
dacy for the United States Senate,
and that after this weeks partial
truce revival of active hostilities
between the Sheehan and the anti
Sheehan Democrats will be witnessed
next week, predictions of the most
positive kind come from insurgents
and near.insurgents tonight that be-
fore many days the deadlock will be
broken and a United States Senator
elected, but he will not be William f.
Sheehan. i
The fact is that Speaker Frisbie
who has been playing Murphy's game
right along, has heard in the most
emphatic manner from his constitu-
ents. There was an election in Scho-
harie county, the speakers home yes
terday. Schoharie is the banner
Democratic county north of the Har-
lem river. 1t rarely has gone Re-
publican in all its history Yester-
day it did, returning a Republican
majority to the Board Of Supervisors
for the first time in generation.
Speaker Frisbie worked like a beav-
er to prevent 1t, too, spending the
entire day at the polls.
The Republican victory in Soho
harie county is ascribed here to the
speakers attitude and the dissatis-
faction of the good people In Soho
harie over the course the Democrats
and their own representative in par
ticular, have pursued with reference
to the senatorship.
in 1885,, the year Of Bryan's frs
campaign, Schoharie county was the
only county in the state of New Yorl
to give straight Democratic major
ity.
