LORIMER MAKES STATEMENT

Washington, d. C. - Defeated, hu.
inflated and barred even from ever
entering the senate chamber, Lorimer
was not crushed and broken.
To many friends who called he re-
newed his protestations Of innocence
of the legality Of lis election.
Lorimer. however. consented to
make a brief statement to the news
papermen regarding his future course
of action.
Il must think things over and talk
to my friends before I can say
whether shall go into a political
fight" he declared. THE place for
me to make a fight, should I deter

before the people. The candidates
for the legislature. which will select
my successor. have already bsen Sc

not go into the coming fight. Thus
shall have to wait until two years
hence. have not looked that far
ahead. Before reaching any decision
on that point. I want a full opportun-
ity to talk with my friends back
home"
At Lorimer's elbow were scattered
sheaves of yellow paper. They were

was never legally elected and never
entitled to his seat.
Any political move he may make
probably will be determined only af,

the Chicago lawyer who has been his
defender throughout the attacks upon
him. Lorimer takes the view that
he may ask to have his case reopened
on the ground Of newly discovered
evidence at any time he wishes. He
feels that the senate. in reopening his
case after 1t had once declared his
title valid and established a precedent
cannot ignore him. In his closing
