Subscriptions Must be Pa 4
at Once

Congress has passed a law
prohibiting newspaper pass
ing through the postoffice as
a newspaper unless the SUBJ
scripUion has been paid.
During the past month the
ARIZONIAN has made special
efforts to collect from every
subscriber on his account.
Most of them have paid what
they were owing and a year
in advance.
The only course left open
to us with those who pay no
attention to the statement
they have received, is to dis
continue their paper and turn
their accounts over to an at
torney for collection.

LORIMER'S SEAT IN SEN
ATE DECLARED VA
CANT BY IS TO 28
On Announcing of Vote He
Rose YEARLY From His
Seat and Passed to
Cloak Room Door

By a vote of 55 to %, the SEN
ate took away from William Lori
mer his seat as junior senator
from Illinois. His election was
held to be invalid and it was de-
clared he had been the recipient
of votes obtained by corrupt
methods and practices. He has
been a member for three years,
but technically will pass out OF
the records as a member OF that
body.
Facing his associates with the
declaration, II am ready" Lori
mer sat in the chamber and heard
his fate decreed as the roll call
showed the adoption of Senator
Lea's resolution.
The man who for three days
had held the senate to a close at
tention with a remarkable speech
in defense of himself and an at
tack on his enemies, rose wearily
from his seat and passed back to
the cloak room door. Senators
and members of the house gath
cred about him, grasping his
hand and patting him on the
back. Outside the Senate door,
as Lorimer stepped into the cor
ridor, a party of sisters of charity
pushed forward to express their
regret at his expulsion.
Lorimer gained only one man,
who voted against him before.
Jones of Washington, while he
lost the votes of his associate,
Cullom, and Senators Curtis,
Briggs, Simmons and Watson.
Only two incidents marked the
few minutes between the termi-
nation of Lorimer's remarkable
speech and the taking Of the roll
call. One was the charge of Sen
ator Dixon, Roosevelt's campaign
manager, that the affidavits Lori
mer introduced to show the at
tempted corruption of the dele
gates at the Chicago convention
were malicious and deliberate
falsehoods. The other was the
request of Senator Tillman, who
is feeble from the effects of pa
ralysis, for permission to have
the clerk read a statement.
1t was the affirmation of his
belief in Lorimer's innocence
and a pathetic statement of his
own feebleness. Tillman wept as
it was read, and the other senat-
ors exhibited deep feeling.
''Since / was stricken with pa
ralysis thirteen months ago, !"
said the Tillman statement, I've
thought often and seriously
about death and the hereafter.
That Pm here at all is in some re-
spects a miracle. and ] know |
must go hence to meet the Great
Judge face to face very soon. /
cannot do otherwise than to vote
as my conscience dictates. and I
believe this man is innocent of
the charges brought against
him.
He expressed the hope that
Lorimer would consecrate the re-
mainder of his life to the puridi-
cation of politics in Chicago and
the uplift of his fellow citizens
in Illinois. 5iieve if he does
bravely fight for purer and better
government in Illinois," he said,
"God will strengthen his arm
and he'll return to the senate
vindicated by the people of that
great state.

Roosevelt Wave Rolls Or.

On the face of the returns available
from Tuesdays presidential preferen-
tial primary in Ohio, indications are
that Colonel Thedore Roosevelt has car
ried the state over President Taft by
something like $4,000 majority. This
overwhelming victory will give Colonel
Roosevelt the six delegates at large
from Ohio, and he will probably control
two-thirds of the district delegates to
the Republican National Convention.
Following the receipt of news from
the primary, the Taft headquarters in
Washington declined to comment on the
result in Ohio until more complete re-
turns had been announced, but Senator
Dixon, manager for Colonel Roosevelt,
issued statement in which he said:
There is no further room for argu-
ment- Ohio has spoken. By a major
ity of probably $4,000 she has declared
for Theodore Roosevelt as the republi-
can nominee for President. Roosevelt
will have forty-eight delegates in Mr..
Taft's own state
Theodore Roosevelt will be nomi-
mated as the republican candidate for
President on the first ballot at Chicago,
and will be elected in November by the
biggest majority ever given a presi-
Dental candidate. This is the end of
the contest"
Woodrow Wilson carried the state on
the democratic ticket over Judson Har-
mon, his opponent, by about 10. 900 ma
