.LOR|hER ELECTION
ATTACKED BY BORAH
Idaho Senator Asserts Votes
Cast for Illinois Member
Were Tainted.

The strongest presentation OF the
case against Senator Lorimer was
made on the floor of the Senate late
yesterday afternoon by Senator Borah.
The Idaho Senator said that from the
hour Mr.. Lorimer declared himself a
candidate a stream of corruption be-
gan TO flow which has never ceased.
He said when the deal was made with
Browne, the minority leader in the
Illinois Legislature, TO deliver thirty
votes to Lorimer. the election of LOr-
inner was tainted.
He criticised the investigating COM
mittee in sharp terms. In the course
of his speech he said:
"I don't care If seven or ten or fif-
teen votes were purchased. If Browne
himself was corrupted. then under the
law and any reasonable interpreta-
tion OF the situation the entire thirty
voted were corrupted. 1t is just as
clear as the MONDAY sun that without
the influence and control of Mr..
Browne, Mr.. Lorimer could not have
been elected.
"If Mr.. Browne was corrupted. as
the testimony of White, Link, Becke"
meyer, and Holstlaw. and the letters,
kilograms. &C. all tend to show, he
was delivering not only his vote, but
the votes Of all thirty members in the
combination. The election could not
have been pulled off without first fix
ing Mr. Browne"
