SPECIAL SESSION
TO CHOOSE SENATOR
Governor Deneen Cannot Name Man
to Take the Place Of
Lorimer.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. !
SPRINGFIELD, Ill.,, July 18.-An-
other special session of the general
assembly, called for the purpose Of
electing senator to succeed VIM.
LoEiner, was admitted today to be
one of the possibilities as the result
of the opinion Of Attorney General
Stead last night that Governor De-
neen has no power to name sue
cessor.
1t is declared to be practically GER
tain that the governor would call the
assembly together, If he is assured
by the republican members that they
will go into caucus and abide by eau
Gus rule. He will call them here I'M
der no other arrangement, for it
would be impossible for them to agree
otherwise
The special session would remove
the danger of conflict in the next
regular session because of the neces-
sity of electing both successor to
Lorimer and Senator Cullom. Anti
Lorimer men fear that Lorimer may
use the election of the successor to
Cullom to force the selection Of his
own candidate to succeed himself
L. Y Sherman, the primary nomi-
nee to succeed Cullom. is said to favor
the special session.
Stead in his opinion, sent to the
governor last night holds that the
Lorimer case is similar to the Mantle
and Quay cases, in which the senate
held the executive of the state could
not appoint successor under the
constitution because. the legislature
had failed to act when properly or
gained.
