Senator Lorimer Retains His Seat In United States Senate.

By a vote of 46 to 40 Senator William Lorimer of Illinois will be able to retain his seat in the United States senate. Senator Beveridge had introduced a resolution to the effect that Senator Lorimer had n'ot been duly and legally elected to his seat in the senate. ’Bribery charges, pushed by the Chicago Tribune, were made against Lorimer, and after a hearing by a senate committee many speeches were made against Lorimer, who is denominated as the “blonde boss.” Beveridge was always active in the attack on Lorimer.
