Two Pieces of Standard
The Fight Against Lorimerism
Tho fight against Lorimerism
opened in tho United States senate
undor tho leadership of Senator
John W. Kern of Indiana. Tho
story is told in tho following Associ
ated Press dispatches:
Washington, Juno 4. Tho vote
of tho senate on the resolution de
6laring tho election of Senator Lorl
mor of Illinois invalid, will not be
tnkon until after tho national con
ventions, if negotiations now in
progress between his supporters and
opponents in tho senate prove suc
cessful. The suggestion lor me puat
ponemont was made to Senators Lea
and Korn today by Senator Dilling
ham, chairman of tho Lorimer com
mittee. Mr. Dillingham did not in
dicate a purpose of pressing tho sug
gestion, but ho pointed out tho ne
cessity for a full attendance, which
it w.ould bo difllcult to obtain before
or during tho great political meet
ings. Tho opposing senators acknowl
edged tho force of the point, but did
not indicate their decision. They
are moro concerned about a vote be
fore adjournment than about the
exact date and probably will fall in
with tho majority and agreo to let
tho voto go over.
Senator Kern expects to conclude
his opposing speech tomorrow. Ho
will bo followed by Senator Dilling
ham in support of Lorimor and he
in turn by Senator Lea in opposition.

ffonntnr Korn cave especial atten
tion to tho plea that the case had
been settled by the senate's vindica
tion last year. That plea, he said,
had been raised only at the last mo
ment. He said he would not admit
its validity, It had como too late and
that tho plea itself was "res judi
cata." .
Reminding tho senate that under
tho constitution it is tho judge of the
qualifications o its own members,
Mr. Kern contended it was compe
tent for that body to proceed at any
timo in any matter involving the in
tegrity of its membership.
"There was no suggestion by Sena
tor Lorimer or any one on his he
half that tho senate had not ample
power to direct a re-investigation of
his case," said Senator Kern. "He
tactily acquiesced in the senate's ac
tion. He appeared In person and by
counsel, before the committees dur
ing the investigation cross examin
ing all witnesses called by the com
mittee, and examining scores of wit
nesses in his behalf."
Mr. Kern declared that if any of
the committee believed that the
questions being investigated wero
"res judicata" they were "strangely
ly reticent in not mentioning it,"
while permitting the continuation of
tho investigation at a cost of moro
than $50,000.
He refused to concede that the
proceedings were analagous to a civil
action at law, but argued that, if
it were, the granting of a new trir.l,
even on the solo ground of nowly
discovered evidence, opened the case
for a complete re-investigation.
"It is now too late for Senator
Lorimer to be permitted to urge this
remarkable defense," declared Sena
tor Kern. Mr. Kerrt said he believed
the first investigation had been ut
terly incomplete and had failed to
develop facts which, must have been
accessible.
Senator Lorimer occupied a seat
near Mr. Kern, giving careful at
tention to his arraignment. There
were many visitors in the gallery.
Senator Kern praised the personal
reputation of Mr. Lorimer, and said
that, but for his convictions regard
ing the gravity of the charges, he
would not be found engaged in the
disagreeable task of prosecutor.
Senators Lea and Kenyon, who,
with Mr. Kern-, are the minority of
the Lorimer Investigation commit
tee, holding that the Illinois sena
tor's election was brought about by
corruption, are ready to join in tho
fight against the majority report ex
onerating Mr. Lorimer.
While the whole question of the
validity of the election is the princi
pal consideration before the senate,
a feature which promises to precipi
tate the first test of strength is the
contention that Lorimer's case, in
legal parlance, is "res judicata," or
has been onco decided by the senate
and can not be reopened. A ma
jority of the committee which made
tho second investigation holds that
Lorimer can not be tried again on
practically tho Bamo - charges on
which the senate, by a vote of forty
six to forty, acquitted him on March
1, 1911.
me minority holds that this
reasoning does not apply to Sena
tor; Lorimer's case.
Senator Curtis ol Kansas, who
voted for Mr. Lorimer before, is
said to bo ready to voto against
him this timo, but this is counter
balanced by Senator Jones of Wash
ington, who voted against Mr. Lori
mer but will voto for him this timo.
This alignment seems to throw the
balance of power mainly with the
new senators.
Tho second investigation brought
out the charge that Edward Hinea,
the millionaire lumberman, had
raised a fund of $100,000 to "put
Lorimer over," but the majority of
tho investigating committee exoner
ated Hines, as well as Lorimer.
The senator's election, the ma
jority report holds, was duo entirely
to political conditions in Illinois,
which made Mr. Lorimer the only
candidate who could muster a ma
jority, j
Senator Heyburn suggested that
an accused member could only be
tried by tho senate concurrently
elected with him.
"If the next class of senators com
ing can raise the question, it may
be raised repeatedly," he said.
Mr. Kern responded that the
senate, like a court, was a continu
ing body. "If every senator should
die, the senate would be in existence
still," ho said.
Senator Kern continued that new
evidence had multiplied to show the
activity of "the malefactors in the
case," which, he said, connected
Senator Lorimer with tho improper
methods employed in" his election.
He cited alleged relations between
Mr. Lorimer and Lee O'Neill Brown,
who, he said, had been the accredited
agent of Lorimer.
Four men, he said, had confessed
to. taking bribes. Mr. Kern will con
tinue his speech tomorrow.
Washington, June 5. Senator
Kern of Indiana concluded today tho
second installment of .his speech in
opposition to Senator Lorimer, and
gave notice that he would endeavor
to conclude before adjournment to
morrow. The senator analyzed tho
evidence taken during the senate's
second investigation, contending
that much evidence that was. new
