LOR|MER SEEKS
V|ND|CAT|0N
AND WILL STUMP EVERY COUN-
TY ILLINOIS SEEKING VINDICA-
TIoN FOR SENATORSHlP.

Washington, May 20.-Within few
weeks William Lorimer will an
nounce his candidacy for United
States senator from Illinois. He has
made up his mind to run at the
republican primaries next April.
Already he has notified close
friends here and in Illinois of his de-
cision and a preliminary organization
has been started with the object in
view of electing Mr.. Lorimer in No
yember, 1914.
Advance news Of the Lorimer can
dida0y has been brought to United
States Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman,
against whom Mr. Lorimer will con-
tend. The seat for which they viii
be candidates is the one Mr.. Sher-
man now occupies and the one from
which Mr.. Lorimer was ousted by the
senate after two trials
Although there have been reports
of Mr.. Lorimer's intention of enter
ing the fight for the senatorship,
definite decision was reached only
recently. Mr.. Lorimer had consid
cred waiting for six years to fight
for the seat of j. Hamilton Lewis.
He wanted to give his friends an op-
portunity to rebuild their organiza.
ton.
His friends, however, have insisted
that he go before the republicans
and later before the people to get
back the seat which the senate said
was rightfully his on one vote and
from which it separated him on
second vote. They have told him
that in six years the issues which
he will raise will be forgotten.
Mr.. Lorimer will stump every
county OF Illinois. 1t is his intention
to put the United States senate IN
trial. He will raise the issue that
the first verdict in his case. which
was favorable to him was Just YER
dict, and that the second verdict was
one which was wrung from the SEN
ate By coercive methods which were
potent enough to influence even for
mer President Taft to forget that the
senators were supposed to be judges
and use the power of his office to in
fluence votes.
He will call on the people Of Hi
nois to review the evidence in the
famous case and TO pass a verdict 1n
the facts in reversal of the Judgment
of the United States senate.

did a most commendable thing last
night when they confirmed the ap-
pointments on the police force of this
city of Chief Booker.
Chief Booker selected his assist
ants and patrolmen from the eXpe-
rience which years as an officer or
the law has given him and it was but
just and proper that the board should
,cognize these appointments so that

is a worthy, competent and well quail
flied officer and will give the city
TIE very best possible service.

Oklahoma City, Okla, May 20.-The
Redwine- Carpenter bill for the ap-
pointment of a new board of control

given authority to appoint and re-
move the wardens, has passed rluster
in the attorney gene.A. departr cnt,
where it had been%. mitted Iy
Gov. Cruce. In a letter tcS>, cover
nor the attorney general % not
altogether disagree with proyisN. 1T
the act, but tells the governor =
while some of them are not 70 his
liking, it is probable future leSisla-
lures will work out the remedy. 1he
bill passed both houses after a tenn
pestuous voyage and is before the
governor without the emergency
clause.
Veto probably awaits the fire
mems pension act, owing to defect
in its wording, but in that event
the governor will submit the ques-
ton for consideration after the re-
cess. Under the constitution the
pensions may only come from a ta'i
laid against fire insurance ccmpa =
MES, whereas the act includes all
classes of insurances.
