Differs as to Vote Required to
unseat Junior Senator
From Illinois.

Washington, Jan. G.--Whether it
would require two-thirds vote or
only a majority OF tho senators to IN
seat Mr.. Lorimer as senator IRON
Illinois is an interesting question ~
the contest about to be waged. me
answer depends upon the opposition
to Lorimer seeks to connect him WIFE
any corruption or merely TO sno"
that he was the beneficiary OF corrup-
ton for which he was not responsible.
Senators who have made Aclose
study of election contest cases seem
to agree that If a resolution to IN
seat Senator Lorimer 5Iould contend
that he Is principally involved in me
bribery charges that have been MAZE
the only course would be to vote Tor

thirds of the senate would have to be

ton Of Mr. Lorimer to lave been m
valid and it was admitted that there
vas no evidence to connect him with
eribery only maioriy vote of the
senate quorum would be required to
adopt or reject the motiH.
Under the first situation, or taat
which would connect O senator pin
cipally with corrupt practices, ii IS
lsaid the contest must be between the
senate and the individual senator un-
der charges, while in the second case
he contest would be between the ig-
rs lature which elected or the COVER
nor Who appointed ne senator in

It now looks as il the fight would
be opened in the senate on Monday,
| although Senator Beveridge has moi
yet admitted that he intends to fiji

Some of the senators favorable tt
Mr.. Lorimer have said the case ough

hat the sentiment OF the country
could be asserted, but others say TIA
