implicate Lorimer. personally. Bailey
said that, while he did not concede
that any legislators had been corrupt

the legality Of Lorimer's election. In
such an event it would be necessary
to deduct the tainted votes from the

Bailey said that when Senators

Washington, Feb. 13.-That the
next Democratic House is definitely
pledged to institute a legislative in
vestigation of the steel trust was as
sured, today, by Representative Stan
ley, (Dem., Ky), author of a resolu-
ton authorizing steel trust probe
which now reposes peacefully in the
House Committee on Rules.
II have definite assurances" said
Stanley, that the Democratic major
ity Of the next House will pass the
resolution if no action is taken be-
fore. Their attitude is that the steel
trust is perhaps the most dangerous
combination of capital in the coun-

the farmers they can fight it by hold

the meat packers by slaughtering
their own cattle and can make the
great packing plants as va1ue1ess as
junk. But the steel trust can abso-
lutely dictate prices because it con-
