DENOUNCED
ACCUSERS
Attacked Roosevelt, Taft and
Bryan

Washington, July 12.--Renewing his
attack upon his opponents, Lorimer
today began the conclusion of his
speech in the senate. His belligerent
attitude OF yesterday when he asked
for no quarter but assailed those who
had been actiye@in prosecuting the
case against him, was apparent from
the outset
He launched once more into an at
tack upon Roosevelt and characterized
as inaccurate and unreliable the re-
port of the minority members Of the
committee that investigated his elec-
tion. Well filled galleries and an at
tentive audience of house members
heard Lorimer.
The attack on Roosevelt, with which
he opened the speech, was based on
testimony given yesterday by George
B. Cortelyou before the senate COM
mittee in 1904.
"Of course" he exclaimed, mot q
cent Of that $1,900.000 could have been
contributed by the predatory wealth Of
the country Surely all of 1t was the
whom this man is the great champion.
No malefactor contributed TO that
fund, only the common people of
whom he was the guardian"
Lortmer referred to Roosevelt as
''the custodian of all the morals of the
country, private and public. "A let
ter from President Taft to Colonel
roosevelt expressing the hope that
Lorimer would be ousted, which be-
came public in the re-convention
campaign was again taken up by Lori
mer. He drew attention to Taft's
phrase emphasizing the necessity Of
winning he declared his enemies had
tried to win mot by free and fair
fight. but by sneaking up behind like
thief In the night
was ever mortal man more com
pletely surrounded by conspiracy and
intrigue exclaimed Lorinner dramati-
caIly, "the president of the United
states, William Taft; Theo. Roosevelt,
ex- president; the former democratic
candidate for the presidency, William
Jennings Bryan, and the trust press
OF the country all were in IL, all join
ed iii the conspiracy to poison the
minds cf the citizenship OF the country
in order that one man might be de-
stroyed.
You cannot strike out the former
verdict Of the senate he exclaimed,
eand I beliewes I have d title TO what
has been declared valid.

ligion They were the pioneers Of this
Red river valley, and have here built
monuments of which no man may be
ashamed Like the Pilgrim fathers OF
New England, they planted the school,
house and the church side by side, and
have ever regarded education as the
handmade of religion.
Up here in this northwest almost
equally distant between ocean and
ocean. is the great melting pot of the
nation for the people Of Northern
Europe and of North America. What
ever our racial, social and creedal diff
ferenees today, fifty years from now,
will find here, in my opinion, no Scan

but a virile progressive race, in the
very best and highest sense, every w4y
American.
Paraphrasing Tennyson in his "Wel-
come to Alexandria / would say as
my closing greetings English, Norsk,
are we, but we are all Norsk in our
greetings to Thee.
President Christianson.
The response to the address of vel
come was delivered by President
ChriStianSon, and he said that every
true citizen of North Dakota was de-
lighted to honor the city Of Fargo. He
told how the COMMITTEES from this city
had assisted in the work OF getting
the sangerfest to Fargo and he con-
graduated the people on coming here.
He was frequently interrupted by ap-
plause. and he hit the spot when he
said that the singers were glad to be
here.
This concluded the exercises of the

There were three addresses on the
opening programme of the conven-
tion and they were interspersed with
appropriate musical numbers.
The first address was by Miss Alma
Tweto Of Abercrombie, who read a
delightfully."- prepared paper giving the
history OF the Old Fort Abercronlbie.
Prefacing her paper Miss Tweto con-
tended that all that was happening
this week In Fargo was perfectly
apropos, not least the unveiling of the
statue of Rollo and very deftly she
established the connection of Rollo.

at Abercrombie Miss Tweto divided

buffalo. the Indian, and the first set

crombie was maintained and for all
that time was a strategic point and

great northwest. For some time the
fort was merely a military center.
