The creditors and receiver de- manded that Dawes come across with the $1,250,000 which the records showed he had in his vaults.

In the following year, Lorimer began his career as a political banker. His bank sure enough was very much like every other bank. It opened its doors and invited all and sundry to bring their money which would be gratefully accepted. The money came alright. The bank was organized with a capital of $1,250,000. It started well. In two years it had lost $500,000, It being a national bank and Lorimer having been expelled from the senate it was feared an examination might be em- barrassing, so it was decided to change the name of the bank from the La Salle National to the La Salle Trust and Savings bank. The state law required that capital and surplus should be paid in cash before a bank could do business. A Friend in Need. jail! The idea is ridiculous and pre- posterous. Lorimer did not go to jail, and for all we know the capitalist courts may take ten more years to bring the case against the Central Trust Company to an end.

At the time of his trouble in Mexico he wrote Samuel Gompers, offering to give the department of justice “evi- dence” that the Obregon government was in league with Moscow. Gompers and the American Civil Liberties union publicly denounced him.
