afford to openly condemn people of
that which they are equally guilty.
The thing won't be tolerated. Hereaf-
ter, politicians will be more careful
how they seek to debauch legislatures,
or the people either for. that matter.
This .Lorimer case will serve as
wholesome precedent.

Now If Mr. Burns could have only
given us some dictagraph records on
the old Seminole conspiracy. and the
military graft under the former ad-
ministration there would probably be
still more embarrassment in some
quarters.

The Advocate has been asked to
publish the following petition:
Fully realizing that the time has
come when we need the best brains
at our command in the general as
sembly, we, the undersigned, herein
earnestly request the Hon. John l..
McLaurin to announce himself can

While we know 1t is a step down
for Mr.. McLaurin after the high Of

we believe he has patriotism enough
to fill minor Office, and that pa
triotism alone will prompt him to
do so. having faith in his leadership
we ask his assistance at this juncture

Mr.. McLaurin was interviewed by
reporter from the Advocate and
asked whether he would consent to
run or not.
He said, that he did not wish to
run, not because the office was a
small one, but because he did not
wish to get mixed up in local politics.
Il am," he said, primarily interested
in the warehouse bill, which was ably
handled by Senator Green and Rep
resentative Mcqueen. Frankly
think Don Mcqueen deserves re-elect-
ion, and 1 would not think of run
ming If by doing so. I would injure
him.
1 do not wish to get into politics,
except as 1t Is necessary to assist in
state. l can be of use only by pre-
serving my individuality and indie
pendence. l do not wish to iden-
tify myself with either of the fac
tions now contending for the mastery
in the state. If Blease and Jones
are to be the issues, l think you had
best count me out, for 1 am not fight
ing Blease, nor am 1 shouting for
Jones l do not like a collar much
anyway and when 1 do. l want my
own name on it, 1 would not run un-
less the demand was so widespread
that l could not refuse and l think
there is plenty Of material without
bringing me in. The time may
come when l can be Of distinct value
to the county and perhaps the state,
and that is the only thing that could
get me back into politics. / have alb
solutely no political ambitions of a
personal character. All Of that is be-

The Lorimer case came to vote In
the senate last Saturday and resulted
in the unseating of the Junior senator
from Illinois by a vote of 55 to %. The
vote was on what was known as the
Lea resolution as follows: Resolved
that corrupt methods and practices
were employed in election Uf William
Lorimer to the senate of the United
States from the state Of Illinois, and
that his election was therefore IN
valid" Senator Lorimer made pow
erful appeal and went down gamely.
1T has been suggested that l resign"
he said, in his closing declaration. He
who is so cowardly as to run because
defeat stares him in the face, mas no
place in this body. Though you all vote
TO turn me out, tnOuSn every Note haS
been canvassed and Is against me,
will not resign. My exit from this body
will not be from fear; 1t will not be be-
cause am a coward. 1t will be because
of the senate of the United States"
The charges OF bribery in connection
with the Lorimer election were made
public by the Chicago Tribune, April
80, 1910, when it published confess
sion of State Representative Charles
A. White that he had received $1,000
to vote for Lorimer. Senator Lorimer
specifically denied these charges in a
speech in the senate May %, of that
year and said he courted an investiga
ton. The senate authorized an inves-
tigation June 20, and it began in Chi
cago September 20, 1910, under the di-
rection of Senator Julius c. Burrows of
Michigan. AS result of that first in
vestigation Lorimer was exonorated by

submit their differences with the
union pressmen to arbitration,
and prevent all the suffering the
newspaper lockout has entailed?
Today's Hearst editorials also
cry Historically that it is the duty
of Mayor Harrison to prevent
street car strike.
When the Hearst papers lock-
ed out the pressmen, they called
on Mayor Harrison, but not to
prevent a strike.
AT that time the Hearst papers
called on Mayor Harrison to give
them the use of the city police
force to help crush the union
pressmen. And Harrison did it.
All these things do not sound
very consistent. But the Hearst
papers never have been noted for
consistency.
And perhaps the explanation of
their present inconsistency is to
be found right alongside of to-
days screaming editorials.
Perhaps the explanation lies in
a number of interviews with de-
partment store heads.
All the interviews are to the
same effect-that a street car
strike must be prevented, because
one would hurt business so much.
When the Hearst newspapers
locked out their pressmen, the big
department stores helped them
out.
When the circulation of the
Hearst sheets fell to nothing at
all, the big stores continued to
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1912-08-08

Hearst newspapers are helping
out the big department stores,
which are scared to death at the
prospect of strike.
Mayor Harrison arrived in the
city this morning, and announced
with blare of trumpets, that he
would do all he could to prevent
a strike.
Harrison went into immediate
conference with international
Pres. Mahon of the street car
mems union and the local union
officials.
Mahon told Harrison that the
street car men were becoming
impatient; that they were becom-
ing more and more assured that
the frequent delays sought by the
companies were sinister.
Harrison suggested the matter
of wages be left to an aldermanic
committee of arbitration, the
committee to include M. ]. Buck
ley, city traction expert and form
er president of the local street
car mems union.
Now the street car men are not
much inclined to arbitrate the
question of wages, for that is the
crux Of the whole difficulty.
Both the companies and the
unions already are agreed to all
such minor conditions as work
ing conditions.
1t is on wages the companies

iasticaly of Democratic
Prospects.

"'Tt is no longer a question as to who
viii be elected president, but merely
one Of how many states Governor Will
son will carry" said Hon. f. W Hurst
yesterday, who came home from the
democratic headquarters in Chicago
for a Sunday sojourn. IT IS TO be one
OF the greatest political landslides the
country has ever experienced" Mr..
Hurst continued, and the indications
are that il Will strike the entire coun-
try New York. New jersey, Indiana.
Michigan and Wisconsin are sure to
go democratic. which, with the solid
south. elects Wilson at the very start.
Then OUT reports from Illinois and
Iowa are Of the most hopeful charaC-
ter. In both our own and ueighbOring
state the Roosevelt and Taft sentiment
in the republican party is running 60
per cent for Roosevelt and 40 for Taft,
Independent of the thousands of repub-
licans who are every day lining up for
Wilson
There is no democratic disaffection
anywhere. The party is solidly stand
ing by the national ticket. and is stand
ing by the state tickets as well.
Everybody at headquarters is jubi
liant over the prospects. 1t is going to
be sweep and clean sweep"

JEW new YEAR IS

The Jewish New Year, or Rosh

day, Sept. y. Like all Jewish holt
days it is reckoned from evening tn
evening and its initial service will be
held on the evening of the 18th. While.
owing to the variance between the So
lar and lunar systems, it may appear
TO occur irregularly, 1t is definitely set
IN the Jewish calendar as the first day
Of the the seventh month, Tishri.
1t is not known scripturally as the
New Year. In the Scriptures it is
termed the Day OF the Memorial of
the Blowing Of the Trumpet" Ueviti.

Of the Blowing of the Trumpet
Numbers XXIX-I1).
The nature Of the festival is what
its name signifies, l. 2, a marking OF
the passage OF time and a monitior OF
the uncertain tenure Of human life.
II does not commemorate any his.
torical incident. Nor does ii make it's
appeal TO the radical consciousness of
the Jews. Its appeal is entirely to the
present and to the individual con
science. 1t is thoroughly universalis
tic and can be responded to by all re
lgionists Of whatever creed
They day IS observed seriously and
solsmniy. 1t emphasizes the sense Of
divine guidance, and at the same time
OF human responsibility. The blowine

The observance OF the day is com
