RUMORED LOR|MER
| PLANS TO RESIGN
Said to Fear the Storm that
Will Probably Break in
Senate Monday.
(American News Service)


Washington, Jan. 7-Senator Lori
mer of Illinois. appalled, by the storm
which will break in the senate Mon
day over his election. may resign. Re-
ports that he is considering his resign
alton steadily gained credence today,
Canvasses of the senate are bringing
out surprising strength in opposition
freely made that .Lorimer will be
forced out Of the senate if he does not
resign. Colleagues are voicing their
criticism that he should appear on the
floor of the senate at a time when his
fate is hanging in the balance. 9th
ers are saying that he ought to resigo
Many senators feel keenly that the
senate of the United States itself is
that if it calmly submits to seating
Lorimer in face of what has been dis
closed as to bribery in the Illinois
Legislature, then it's standing will be
irreparably damaged.
Democratic Opposition.
One of the striking developments in
the situation Is the Democratic
strength in opposition to Lorimer In
quiry among senate. Democrats dis
closed probably not more than third
of them will stand by Lorimer. This
in spite of the fact that Bailey of Tex
as has lined up for him.. The two Vir-
ginia senators, Martin and Swanson,
are the latest to be disclosed as in
opposition to Lorimer Senators Rain
er and Smith of Maryland are against
him. Senators Stone, Culbertson.
Owen, Gore, Frazier and Clarke of
Arkansas, are against allowing him to
retain his seat. In view of the fact
that Lorimer was elected by Demo
cratic votes this refusal of Democratic
senators to stand for the method of
his election is regarded as extremely
significant II Lorimer does not re-
sign before Monday the fight will open
then and 60 to a finish Proceedings
will include the introduction of the
minority report by Senator Beveridge
Senator Frazier will also submit a
minority report. Disputes are arising
as to whether Lorimer's title to his
seat can be invalidated by a majority
vote of the senate or whether two.
thirds vote will be required.

Monday. when the senate will again
convene, said he was still waiting to
see what cards the Democrats had up
their sleeves
1t is case of tit for tat. he said.
The Democrats, SO long in the minor
ity, but now greatly in the majority.
are treating their Republican col
leagues in just the same manner that
they were treated themselves for
many years. What the Democratic
legislators want, they will get, the en-
tire Republican delegation being SO
weak. it would be the height of folly
for them to attempt to get anything
said.

of these relates to the establishment
