PRESIDENT
For Hla Activity Agalact Lorraer
of nilnoU, Recently
Expelled.
WASHINGTON, D. C.. July 17.?
A resounding echo of the Lorimer
esse will be heard In the Senate to apfrow
lf an opportunity 1b presented
for speech making. Senator Bailey
has given notice that he will discuss
the activity of President Taft in
Winging about the elimination of Mr.
borljner, and he will do It to-morrow
If an opening can be found,
t* Iti order to furnish a concrete text
fcpjr his remarks Mr. Bailey this afterftioon
introduced this resolution,
which will lie on the table nntil he
Speaks:
...Whereas, the Constitution of the
fjnlted States makes the Senate the
iOle judge of elections, returns and
qualifications of its members; and
|j WJhereas, Every Senator is required
by his oath of office to decide all
inch cases according to the law and
the testimony before him; be it
'1 Resolved. That any qttempt on the
pgrt of thff^President of the United
States to exercise the powers and influence
of his great office for the purpose
of controlling the vote of any
Senator upan a question involving
the right to a seat in the Senate vio
lates the spirit if not the letter of he
Constitution, invades the right of the
Senate and ought to be Beverly contemned.
It la the Intention of Mr. Bailey to
take up the various utterances of Mr.
raft at different times expressing the
conviction that Lorimer should be removed
from the Senate. He will alio
dwell on the belief that such utterances
Influenced many Senators to
rote in opposition to Mr. Lorimer,
ihus making his excluaion certain.
Itfintor wni iinuhtlsM sharp
ly arraign Col. Roosevelt for'what he
las said concerning Mr. Lorimer. He
lever did like the Colonel, and this
iffords an appropriate opportunity
lo place him on the grill. )
Mr. Lorimer devoted to-day to superintending
the packing of bis pertonal
effects and preparing to vacate
:he committee rooms in the Senate
iffice building, which no longer belong
to him. He has not made a
definite announcement of his future
plans beyond returning to Chicago,
resting and "settling down to work."
Mr. Lorlmer's appearance at his
pfflce thiB morning was early and his
Jrst work was to open a great many
elegrams of sympathy from friends
n various parts of the country. He
lid not seem to be cast down by his
expulsion, but rather had the attitude
pf a man from whose shoulders a
?reat burden had been raised. It
sras evident that he looked to the fuure
with optimism.
The seat in the rear row vacated
>y Mr. Lorlmer Saturday was today
occupied by the new Senator from
Nevada, Mr. Massey.
