seem to affect my health much.
Ny son Charles had been graduated
from law school and was preparing
TO go west and put out his single liz
new country. He and sat together
one night before the time of his de
parture, and as we conversed thought
that before he left it would be a good
idea to have the boy promise not tc
drink.

him. and he responded. Once in q

would give me consolation to know
that wherever you are you are in nc

Our physical comfort requires that there

there be an outlet of the heat generated by

Curtis Of Kansas, who voted for Lori

if the case again came TO vote.
Senator Curtis justifies his change
by his friendship for Clarence S. Funk
of Chicago, general manager Of the In

Kansas senator says the testimony
given in the last investigation clearly
raises question of veracity between
Funk and Edward Hines, charged
with having said he helped "put

ABANDON HOPE
FOR LORIMER
Friends of the Illinois Senator
Will So Inform Him,
1t Is Said.

Washington, May Ex-senator Lori
mer of Illinois will receive word direct
FROM his friends in the Senate that
they cannot hope to save him in his
fight for the retention of his seat.
While it is not admitted that Lorimer
will be urged to resign, it was said he
might decide on that course.
Vice-President Sherman left Wash
fngton last night for Chicago. 1t was
rumored that he would see Senator
Lorimer and communicate to him the
result of poll of the Senate that had
just been completed. The poll shows:
Certain for Lorimer, 40; certain to
oppose him, 80; doubtful, Is. There
is one vacancy.
The attitude of the Senators whose
votes are classed as doubtful has given
the friends of Senator Lorimer much
concern. Although nearly week has
gone by since the poll was made, the
Lorimer supporters have not been able
to add one name TO their list.
Lorimer men were forced to the con-
clusion that the list of doubtful votes
was too large to give them any chance
to win if the case were brought to a
vote. 1t was decided, therefore, to
submit the exact situation to Senator
Lorimer. 1t was argued that Senator
Lorimer should be content to rest on
his former victory and the fact that a
majority of the committee which in
vestigated the charges the second time
had reported in his favor.
One severe blow to the Lorimer
forces was the knowledge that Senator
