Mr.. Senator: / have read the speech
of Senator Crawford in the Congress
sional Record Of January 10. holding
up the election of Senator Lorimer to
view as particularly corrupt and un-
clean one, and this in spite of repeat
ed protestations made by Senator
Lorimer declaring his innocence and
disclaiming any personal knowledge
Of corruption of the Illinois legisla-
ture; also after the majority Of the
committee on privileges and elections
of the United States Senate have ex-
onerated Senator Lorimer Senator
Crawford, nevertheless, declares cor
ruption and charges Senator Lorimer
with implied guilt and cognizant of
intent of the corruption through
others. concludes by saying that he
stands ready to vote for unseating
Senator Lorimer, and thus drive him
out OF the Senate in disgrace. In sum
ming up his remarks to the Senate,
Senate Crawford tactfully disclaims
superior virtue: for who is without
sin? And while admitting he may be
wrong, he nevertheless states that he
stands ready to unseat Senator Lori
mer
l am from Senator Crawford's state,
and would like to appeal to you with
a frank statement of facts not for
the purpose of offering any sugges-
tions, or intended as i'll will towards
Senator Crawford; but merely to
make frank statement of my views,
in all humility. / managed Senator
Crawford's campaign in this state for

ears as sounding brass and tinkling
cymbal," and as an uncharitable,
we'll poised, dignitied attack of char
acter of one senator upon another,
where silence and charity might well
be demanded Charity, like Banquo'S
ghost, will not down; but betrays the
taking advantages OF an opportunity
of oratory to play to the galleries of
the country even though granting the
charges as true, for arguments sake.
Senator Crawford not only attacks
the character of Senator Lorimer, but
also the character Of witness White,
and brands it as dissolute, and dis
parages his occupation as a street car
conductor, Senator Crawford also
judges the character of nine other
witnesses as ''indescribable in in

Lorimer, Gamble
Richards & Co.
Votes Of Dakota Senator and
Campaign in South Dakota
Show Up This
Alignment
Special to Sioux City Tribune.


Washington, April 4. AS a result
of the close vote in the United States
Senate on the Stephenson case, by
which the millionaire senator from
Wisconsin saved his seat by the skin
of his teeth, the Lorimer senators are
a very much frightened lot of poiti-
clans.
Several senators, who a year ago
voted against Lorimer, voted for
Stephenson on the ground that his
was an entirely different case from
the Lorimer scandal. If these votes
are still to be relied upon against the
coming final vote on the Lorimer in
vestigation committee, the vote will
be so close that only one vote may
determine whether or not Lorimer
shall be expelled and the United
States Senate be saved from disgrace.
Regardless of the action taken by
the committee, there will be bitter
and hard fought battle on the Senate
floor before the final vote is taken.
Lorimer and his henchmen are as
astute and well organized set of
politicians as can be pointed to in
The whole world.
MACHINE LOVES GAMBLE.
For his vote in support of Stephen
son. and his vote in the committee
generating Lorimer, Senator Gamble
of South Dakota, received the warm
CONGRATULATIONS from all the Lorimer
senators, and is today recognized as
the most regular of all the regular
senators of the Penrose-Lorimer
machine. AS result, the corrupt
Lorimer machine with ramifications
extending into all the middle western
states, is expected to take a hand in
the fight in South Dakota this year in
Senator CANDLES interest through
the Lorimer railroad connections, and
all the other powerful corporate
interests with which Lorimer is
connected; while, on the other hand,
the same machine interests center
ing in and operating from Chicago
are to wage most relentless and
systematic warfare on Senator Kenyon
on Iowa, because of his brilliant fight
against Stephenson and Lorimer, and
il his participation in the prosecu-
cution Of the Chicago packers.

AT the time Harry Hunter, the
arrogant railroad lobbyist at Pierre,
the capital city of South Dakota, in
the palmy days of the Kittredge
railroad machine, was here last wint-
er hobnobbling with the prominent
Lorimer defenders, the rumor had it
that a South Dakota politician by the
name Of L.. O. Richards was to be
brought into the race as progressive
republican candidate for senator for
the purpose of splitting the pro-
gresSive vote in the state which other
wise would go Solidly to Senator
Candles chief opponent, an openly
declared LaLollette republican and an
uncompromising foe of politicians of
the Lorimer brand.
Lorimer and his henchmen have
felt very grateful to this man Il. o.
Richards, of South Dakota, for a
letter he sent to senators in January
last year in Lorimer's behalf during
the first investigation OF the Chicago
boss. OF course, said letter was con-
sidered rather queer, to say the least;
but, none the less, Lorimer and his
lieutenants in the Senate were very
much pleased with its expressions OF
so much warm praise for and loyal
service to Lorimer and his white
washing business, especially since the
junior senator from his state, Hon.
Coe l. Crawford, was the first one to
support the minority report OF the
Lorimer investigation committee OF
that session in a mastery speech on
the floor of the<Senate, which laid the
foundation for Lorimer'S ultimate
eviction, ii he is ever evicted from
the Senate.
In his letter to the senators, begg-
ing them Ito give Senator Lorlmer
his seat and clean bill of health, :"
Mr.. Richards courted and won for
himself the hearty applause OF the
Lorimer machine and incidentally, a
most powerful ally in Lorimer and his
Chicago machine in his pitabie war
fare against Senator Crawford, who
incurred the displeaSure. and eyerlast-
ing hatred of the Chicago boss and
powerful connection by opening the
fight against him on the floor of the
Senate.
"A QUEER LETTER.
For the purpose of showing by docu-
mentary evidence that r. O. Richards
is Lorimer candidate for the sole
purpose of Splitting the progressive
vote of South Dakota and thereby
help Senator Gamble TO another term
in the Senate and stamp the filthy
Chicago politicians gutter politics
with the approval of the state of
South Dakota, a copy of the letter he
sent to the United States senators

Teams Evenly Matched.

The Denison high school football
team played their first game of the
season at Dow City last Saturday af-
ternoon, when they met the high
school team of Dow City on their
gridiron.
Both teams were evenly matched
and it was a good exhibition OF foot
ball from the beginning of the game
till the whistle blew at the close of the
game.
The Denison team played number
of clever trick plays, but some of these
were not counted on account of the
referee not seeing the plays pulled OFT.
Captain Sharp, of the Dow City
team, starred for their team and made
several good runs for that team and
managed to break up the interference
of the Denison team on several plays
Kuehnle, Wygant and O'Connor
starred for the local aggregation and
made several long runs and handled
the pigskin with the skill of veter
ans.
The score at the end of the game
stood 26 to 0 in favor OF DenisOn. The

court ended on Saturday afternoon,

to the trial of jury cases.
The case OF G. B. Coin against
Robert Hart, which was on trial
when the Review went to press last
week, was concluded on Wednesday
afternoon at late hour and soon al
ter the jury retired to deliberate on
their verdict. They returned into court
finding in favor of the defendant.
The next case, which was an action
brought by the Wife and children OF
George Hester living near Buck
Grove, to have guardian appointed
for the husband and father. was called
for trial late on Wednesday after
noon and continued until Saturday
forenoon, when a verdict was returned
finding that guardian should be ap
pointed. The case was started short
time ago, when it was found that
Mr.. Hester, without consulting the
members of his family, had contracted
to sell his farm at price which was
regarded by his family as much less
than it was worth. 1t was shown that he
is a man Of extreme age and for more
than year has been breaking dowl
physically and mentally to such al
extent that his mind has become un
sound. The evidence clearly showed
that his mind was impaired and tha
he could not, with safety, attend tt
his business and conserve his prop
erty, and the jury promptly returned
a verdict in favor of the appointment
of a guardian. J. P. Jones, who hat
acted as temporary guardian, was ap
pointed by the court as permanen
guardian and afterwards the transac

SHELTER FUMES ARE UTILIZED.

The revival of agriculture in the south much to the
natural deposits of phosphate which found in Florida,
South Carolina and Tennessee Experiments have shown that
raw rock phosphate will stimulate plant growth but the pro
cess is slow and the ferizng element be made available
nore quickly by treating the rock with suphurc acid
On this account the successful manufacture of fertilizer
from rock phosphate depends in great measure on cheap
source of suphurc acid plentiful and cheap supply of
suphuric acid means cheaper and readily available
supply of fertilizers The greatest demand for suphurc acid
lis in the fertilizer industry the greatest supply of raw mater
as for this industry found in the southern states and the
greatest demand for fertilizers also exists in this section
Few industries therefore, of Importance to the south
than the manufacture of sulphuric acid.
The sulphurc acid plants at Ducktown, Tenn were IN
stalled with the purpose of dsposing of the Objectionable fumes
from the large smeers of the copper companies at that place
According to f. b. aey of the United States Geological Sur
vey who describes those plants in advance chapter from
Mineral Resources of the United States for 1911 they have
been very successful They what until their esta)
hmen only wholly waste product OF the shelters but
also menace all the adjacent country These acid plants
have therefore produced at least three desirable results by fur
nishng large supply of acid where it most needed by rem
erng valuable large supplies of sulphur hitherto worthless
and by relieving the region of the nuisance of the smeer
fumes thus making possible to continue operating the mines
and at the time to cultivate the surrounding lands
