Those favoring Lorimer voted nay
on the Beverage resolution, declaring
the IIlinoisan's seat vacant; those OPP
posing him voted AYE"
The closing speeches before the SEN
ate indicated with what earnestness
the case of Mr.. Lorimer had been
pressed by both sides. AS the hour
for the vote drew nigh the expressions
of the orators grew in impassioned
eloquenoe as they discussed the vari-
GUS phases of the case.
Finally, a few minutes before the
roll call began, Senator Robert M.
La Toilette of Wisconsin took the
floor, his voice trembling
Those who believe that bribery ex-
listed in the Illinois legislature must
believe that the sitting member (Mr.
Lorimer) knew of it," he Numbered
1.-THE evidence proving this may not
be direct" he continued. But the at
mosphere surrounding the legislature
the fact that Mr.. Lorimer was on the
ground for four months, that he is a
man OF intelligence and powerful per-
sonality, that he was not an open but
a yelled candidate for senator, indi-
cate that a scheme was being worked
out in which it was wholly impossible
for him not to have known OF every
detail
The speech was listened to by the
senate and the galleries without inter
ruption except that Senator Burrows
attempted to show that Senator Lori;
mer had not been directly connected
with the bribery in the legislature.
Senator Lorimer, when Senator La
Toilette began speaking, left the SEN
ate chamber until after the vote was
taken.
Senator Lorimer made one more
speech in his own behalf Referring
evidently to certain assertions made
by Senator Owen in the course Of a
bitter anti-Lorimer speech Mr.. Lori
mer by inference accused him of I'M
fairness in reading into the senate
records only kilograms unfavorable to
Lorimer, whereas he had others ia
vorable to him which he was with
holding from the senate.
After the vote Senator and Mrs.
Lorimer, Mr. and Mrs Edward Hines
and David L. Frank of Chicago called
on Senator Cullom to express their
gratitude for his vote.
