BILL LORIMER
WILL STILL Be
U. S. SENATOR
Senate Yesterday Voted, 40 to
40, TO Allow Him to Retain
His Seat.

Washington, March William
Lorimer still retains his seat in the
United States senate by a vote OF
forty-six to forty. That body today
defeated the resolution of Senator
Beveridge declaring that the junior
Illinois senator had not been elected
legally.
The end of the case, which had
been before the senate for many
months and provoked one of the
most bitter fights ever waged in that
body for years, came soon after 1870
this afternoon.
Promptly at that hour the vice
president brought his gavel down in
terrupting the speech of LaFollette
in opposition to Lorimer and called
for a vote.
The floor and the gallery was
crowded and the most intense inter
est was shown during the roll call.

land. But ours is rather the calm salts
faction of the man who sees the correct
ness Of his deep-seated convictions demon
strated TO others than the unique elation OF
him who achieves the unexpected.
The ordinary view is that car which
wins an endurance contest is the best car
for every day use. Our conviction is pre-
cisely the opposite. We firmly believe that
the manufacturer who builds the best car
he possibly can build for every day use
necessarily builds into 1t the qualities
which make for endurance, even IL IL were
built, as every Cadillac is built, without
the thought of triumphing in a twenty
four hour contest.
I'm short, the victory of the Cadillac at
Los Angeles was simply a result incidental
to the principles OF Standardization which
have always inspired the Cadillac COM
pany. 1t made the greatest mileage Just
as it won the Dewar trophy not because
it was especially built for these special
achievements, but because II is more thor
oughly standardized than any other car in
