were charged with playing pot
house politics by Senator William
Lorimer of Illinois, in his testi-
mony before the United States
Senate Committee, investigating
the Lorimer vote buying charge.
"You said yesterday, Senator"
asked Senator Fletcher, "that the
Tribune, the Record Herald and
the Daily News had been trying
for IS years to drive you out of
public life, What reason did
they give?"
"The only reason" replied the
witness, Il have ever been able to
assign is that l have never been
much of a newspaper man.
These newspapers always wanted
to run the Republican party in
city, county and state. l never
consulted the editors of these
newspapers to md out whether
l should do what I wanted to do
or not.
"For a time Mr.. Medill practi-
cally ran the Republican party

Kohlsaat purchased the Inter
Ocean he tried to divide this title,
and 1 soon got into trouble with
him because I would not do what

Senator Lorimer traced the

manifested itself most particular

WANT. STATE TO DRILL FOR ORE
Bill To Be introduced in Next Leg
islature Providing For Operations

Among the measures which will be
introduced in the legislature this win
ter by the Superior delegation will be
one calling on the Wisconsin Geol-
ogical and Natural History Survey
to make a thorough study of the
northern portion of the state for
iron ore.
The geological survey has made
a study of the surface formation of
the state, but what is now aimed at
is a study of the underground forma-
ton as we'll. People in this section
are of the opinion that ore exists in
the northern counties in sufficiently
large quantities to warrant mining
and they consider it to be one of
the duties of the state government
to determine If such is the case.
The bill which it is proposed TO
introduce, will give the geological
survey authority to purchase diamond
drills and operate them in places
where ore is believed to exist.
Among the most enthusiastic back
ers of the project is James Bardon,
of the East End. Mr.. Bardon is firm
ly convinced that northern Wiscon-
sin will be found to- be fully as rich
in mineral wealth as northern Mime
sofa Several years ago he predicted
that the time would come when a
rich iron range would be found along
the Chicago line of the 500 road, be-
tween Superior and Ladysmith. He
still holds to that opinion.
The theory on which the local
hackers of the north Wisconsin iron
range base their opinion is that the
Gogebic iron range Of Michigan and
Iron county, Wisconsin, extends west
ward. Some think that the iron for
nation continues through Wisconsin
and Minnesota and connects with the
Guyana range which is now in pro-
cess of development.
If the state would take up the de-
velopment work to a sufficient ex-
tent to show that iron existed, pri-
vate individuals would then be willing
to continue the operations. The tax
able wealth added to the states re-
sources would more than compensate
for the expenditures, it is said
