A non-partisaia7ailiantersim- liar io that which, re-Slected Mr. " Shurtleff as Speaker at the beginning of the session, broke the, deadlock which has: tied up the General Assem by since January 20, which has stifled legislation and made of distinguished statesmen mere package? of nerves. Mr. Lorlmer, who would not' start in the race until he'-jwas sure he would succeed, gave the word at noon, and at 2.35 o clocjc in the afternoon, on the ninety-fifth ballot, he was de clared elected to the chair occupied for six years by Mr. Hopkins. He received 108 votes "to 90. six more than enough to elect. Until 'a few days ago he had not received a vote for Senator, while Senator Hopkins," who went before the Legislature with the indorsement of the primary election of the Icepnb. licans of Illinois, had kept within from twenty to thirty votes of a ma jority during the five months of the deadlock. .. Mr. Lorlmer said: "Personally, all my life I have been a protectionist. -1 All my life I have been for what is known as a 'high protective tariff,' . but in . our last Republican National r Convention our party, the Republi can parly, declared for a lower tariff or a tariff revision downward. I- do .not know whether that legislation will yield enough to conduct the af fairs ot the country, but I do know that the party to which I belong will keep-the faith and pas3 a bill along the lines passed by the House of Rep resentatives." Lorlmer is a politician ot a type distinguished by its supremacy in municipal affairs. He is one of the! . kind who understands silence to per fection. He was born in Manchester, England, but cams to' this country , when a boy. He got a start in Chi cago as a Etreet car conductor, and from that developed into politics. There as inspector .of plumbing he progressed rapidly. By 1894 he had Been enough . of the xrity gam and turned to National : politics, being , elected to the House for "the first ol , the seven terms to which' he has been elected. In the House Lorlmer has been ona of the stanchest supporters of the special Interests of Chicago. Al though not representing the beef packing district, he was the partic ular champion of the packers during the Roosevelt fight for the Meat If Spection bill.
