The present house of representa-

Hand Tor Party's sake.
Washington, Jan. 9.-President Taft
has taken a personal interest in the
Lorimer case, which is coming up for
action in the senate before long, and
has shown that he is not satisfied with
the whitewashing report of the COM
mittee on privileges and elections and
will not be content with action by the
senate Of anything less than a full and
complete ventilation of the scandal.
This means, of course, that Senator
Lorimer's chances of yindication by
vote OF the senate are very much less
than they were before the president
threw his influence into the scale and
that Lorimer is in for the fight of his
life II he retains his seat in the upper
