CONCLUDES FOUR-DAY TALK ON
LORIMER SENATORIAL
SITUATION

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Special
After deNOting practically the entire
session yesterday to the discussion OF
the proposed reinvestigation OF the
election of Senator Lorimer, the Sen
ate adjourned without action, de-
termined to proceed again with the
question Monday.
Senator La Toilette concluded his
four-day speech and announced that
when the voting stage is reached he
will so change his resolution as to
provide that the Senate shall elect an
investigating committee OF five from
among the new Senators. Senator
Borah supported the La Toilette prop
0siuon, and Senators Bailey and Dill
ltngham opposed it.
Mr.. La Toilette attacked caucus
rule, and denounced the practice of
selecting standing committee by eau
Gus as un-American. He indicated
that the day would come when the
Senate would dispense entirely with
the secret caucus, and prophesied the
general adoption of the initiative,
referendum and recall.
With the recall in USE" he said.
mo Jackpot politician can hold his
commission against the wishes of the
people he misrepresents."
New investigators had been pro-
vided for because Mr.. La Toilette be-
ileVed that the question should go to a
committee not handicapped by a pre-
Vious decision. The next inVestigat-
ing committee. he felt. might have the
confidence of the people, which he
did not believe the old standing Com
mittee OF Privileges and Elections
would have.
MIR. Bailey said that all the Demo-
cratic Senators desired a new investi-
CATION. he himself favoring it, be-
cause of the discovery of new evil
dence. He declared that the public
sentiment against Mr.. Lorimer was
not we'll informed, because II had
been shaped by newspaper expression
rather than by reading of the testi-
mony.
III we have saved the seat of a
guilty man." said Mr.. Bailey, I'VE
owe a reparation, and we shall be
ready to make it." he said. He
sounded a note OF warning to the
Senate not to be "swayed by mere
public clamor"
Senator Borah advocated a special
committee in the interest of disinter-
estedness. He regarded representa-
tive government at stake. and urged
a searching and impartial inquiry.

TAFT OPPOSE
ROOTS AMENDMENT

WASHINGTON, d. c., Special
Today's Washington Herald prints
the following:
1t was learned last night that sup
porters of the Administration are con
siderably alarmed over the outlook
in the Senate for the Canadian reel
procity bill. Noses have been counted
in the Senate and it has been found
that the Administration at present
lacks two votes of being able to de-
feat the amendment proposed by Sem
sator Root. which, If adopted, will have
the effect of preventing a free ex-
change of wood pulp and print paper
until all restrictions have been re-
moved by the Canadian Provinces.
While President Taft does not OBJ
Ject to the general purport of the Root
amendment, he and his advisers fear
that it will be only the opening wedge
for series of changes in the bill
which will be the death knell Of Ca
madam reciprocity.
1t is known that President Taft is
preparing to make unusual efforts to
prevent the amending of the bill. The
fact that Mr.. Taft is being opposed
on this proposition by Senator Root,
who has always been known as q
strong Administration supporter, has
caused considerable comment.
