Declares Gov. Deneen Has Not
Right to Appoint Lorimer
Successor
CITES TWO SIMILAR CASES
Governor Refuses to State Whether
He Will Call Legislative
Session

Springfield, July TIN a
lengthy opinion submitted to Gov,
DeneeD. tonight, by Attorney GEN
.eral Stead. the attorney general holds
that there is no vacancy in the Of
flee of Senator in the Congress OF
the United States, at this time, from
the state Of Illinois, within the
meaning OF the second paragraph OF
section 3, Of article / , Of the consti-
tuition Of the United States. and
that the Governor has not the pow
er to appoint a Senator, following
the action OF. the United States Sen
ate last Saturday in declaring the
election cf William Lorimer void,
Gov, Deneen would make no
statement regarding his probable
action towards calling a special ses-
sion of the Legislature for the pur-
pose of electng a United States
Senator.
In the opinion Of the attorney
general that official cites the case
of Lee Mantel of Montana. and
| Matthew S. Quay of Pennsylvania
and decides that the Lorimer case
is analogous to those two, as the
other two eases, which are recent
| Involve the questions OF the appoint
ment Of Senators by state executives
where the Legislature Of the state
though legally organized, at the
| proper time failed to elect.
The attorney general said thai
the Senate having determined tha'
| Lorimer's election was invalid, NJ
followed that so far as the question
| of the power of the Governor to ap
ipoint is concerned, the situation Il
the same as if the Legislature o
Illinois of 1909 had made no at
tempt to elect a successor to Alber
lJ. Hopkins, whose regular term ex
pired March 3, 1903.
In other words the legal eifec
of the determination of the Senat
that the election of Lorimer wa
invalid is that the Legislature o
Illinois of 1909 failed to elect
Senator If that be correct as tn

case, so far as the power Of the gov
