Says Lorimer Popular But
Air of Suspicion Hangs
Over Election.
CROSS-EXAMINED
BY KERN CLOSELY
"Washington D. C. July 29. Law-
rence B. Stringer Democratic candi-
date for senator against Lorimer tes-
tified today before the Lorimer elec-
tion committee. He told of Lorlmer's
popularity with the Democratic leg-
islators but at the conclusion of his
evidence expressed the opinion that im-
proper or corrupt practices was an
ingredient entering into Lorimer'i
election.
Edward O. Phillips a. Chicago Bec-ord-Herald
reporter who worked in
Springfield during the session of the
legislature in 1909 was the only othei
witness today. He said former gover-
nor Yates was his authority for a
newsnaoer article he wrote on Janu
ary 6 1909 to the effect that Lorimer I
would be elected by the combination
-of Democrats and Republicans that
elected Shurleff speaker if Lorimer
woud consent. Phillips said in con-
versation with Lawrence B. Stringer
the day before the election of Lorimer
he gathered the impression that
Stringer was out of the race because
a "consideration had heen asked of
him that he could not furnish."
The committee adjourned until Mon-
day when Phillips will be cross
examined.
Senator Johnston took an unusual In-
terest In the list of Democrats who re-
ceived complimentary votes during the
meeting of the legislature in 1909.
No Democrat Safe.
"No Democrat of prominence wa
safe from a complimentary vote?" In-
quired the senator. "That Is about
true" replied Mr. Stringer.
Senator Kern led the witness to
break down the favorable testimony
which Mr. Stringer had given in be-
half of Lorimer.
"Was it generally understood that
senator Lorimer stood for the things
that were not good" asked senator
Kern.
"I think that it was the general
impression that senatorLorimer wai
of the school of politicians that adopt-
ed the policy of winning the elections"
replied 3fr. Stringer.
This answer did not satisfy senator
Kern.
"Was it understood that senator
Lorimer stood for what Bryan did for
Instance in politics?"
Not in Bryan's Class.
"I do not think he was in the same
clas3 with Bryan."
"Did you think the election had
resulted from a good and wholesome
combination?"
"No I did not think it was."
Air of Suspicion
From th time of the story about an
attempt to buy votes for Hopkins Mr.
Stringer said an air of suspicion hung
over affairs in Springfield and of the
election of senator Lorimer. He ex-
plained he congratulated Lorimer be-
cause it was the courteous thing to
do and he had no evidence himself that
anytmng was ruug- j
"Do you think that the termination
oi tne coniesi waa uue iu me cucm
mixup and the desire to end it without
regard to party consequences or was
in the result of improper and cor-
rupt practices" senator Kern asked
witness.
"I am inclined to think that the in-
gredients you mentioned on both sides
of the .question assisted in bringing
about the result but to what extent
I don't know."
H. C. F'-rris general manager of the
Mexico North Western arrived from
Chihuahua on Friday accompanied by
Mrs. Ferris.
R. Cords jr. left for San Francisco
on Saturday.

of holes will have to be mended imme-
diately in order that accidents will not
occur. -

through the city are also in for some
work and efforts will be made to have
these straightened so as to reach sev-
eral parts of the city.
Guadalupe to Benefit.
Guadalupe a small village east of
Ciudad Juarez is to come in for some
of the improvements which are planned
by the hew mayor and the road be-
tween the two cities will be Improved.
Also irrigation ditches will be built
near the town for the use of the farm-
ers and to prevent a flooding of. the
village like the one which resulted in
the destruction of the adobe jefatura
of the ' and the school house.

will have charge of the improvements
in Ciudad Juarez is making out the
plans for the work. It is thought that
Mr. Amador will be appointed the city

permission to create this office can be
obtained.
