VILLA NAMES \A ONE-ACT PLAY BY DANIEL JOHN, HUMBUG! ness it stands for, Wesley LORIMER Jones has nevertheless been endorsed for another term in the United States senate by the late republican state convention at Tacoma. To what miserable depths partisan politics will sink! When Jones arose in the senate to defend a crooked, notoriously corrupt politician, it was not a question of — politics. It was not a question of standpattism against progressivism. It was a plain question of honesty in public life in one case and corruption in the other. : Even such rabid standpatters as Senators Elihu Root of New York, Henry Cabot Lodge of Massa- ~ chusetts, and old “Uncle” Cullom of Illinois, voted to unseat William Lorimer of Illinois. In the face of ~ the overwhelming evidence that he secured his election to the senate by bribery, decency demanded _ hee —- and standpatters, democrats and progressives forgot partisanship, joined forces, and ex- pe im, 2 But Wesley LORIMER Jones—his apologists call him Sen. Wesley Livsey Jones, ignoring his disgraceful record—joined with Guggenheim of Colorado, and Penrose of Pennsylvania, and Smoot of Utah, and their ilk, to save the scalp of the notorious political boss of Chicago. * * 8 * & & PRESIDENT TAFT and Theodore Roosevelt, bitterly at war with each other, nevertheless were as one in their repudiation of Lorimerism. } Jones admitted there had been bribery in the Illinois legislature, but it was not proved, he said, that |Lorimer was the bribe giver. Therefore he concluded in his speech defending the discredited Lorimer, |that the people throughout the country who demanded Lorimer’s expulsion constituted the “mob and the rabble,” and that Theodore Roosevelt was the “Pontius Pilate” of modern times. William Lorimer, a “Bathhouse John” type of politician, corruptionist and “slush” fund beneficiary, was, in Jones’ painting of him, the Jesus Christ of modern times! What a sacrilege! What moral debasement! * * 4 * * &@ (HE people of Illinois in direct primaries had expressed their preference for A. J. Hopkins for United | States senator, and not for Lorimer. But the legislature failed to abide by the people’s vote. To the amazement of the country, 53 democrats joined with 55 republicans and elected William Lorimer, the “blonde boss” of Chicago. In his defense of Lorimer, Jones admitted there was a “jackpot” or corruption fund of $100,000 in the Illinois legislature, and that a number of democratic members received bribes. But he argued that it had not been proved it was Lorimer’s slush fund. * * 8 & * UR house members confessed to receiving money and they implicated three others. State Senator McCormick was offered $2,500 to vote for Lorimer. “I admit that Link got bribe money,” Jones said, “but he got the money for some other purpose and not in payment for his vote for Lorimer.” Jones sank even lower in his frenzied desire to save the Ciicago boodler. He admitted that it was State Senator Lee O'Neill Browne who paid the corruption money to Link and the other legislators. And who was Lee O'Neill Browne? The leader of the Lorimer forces in the state senate! ** * * * & O the everlasting credit of the United States senate be it said that on July 13, 1912, Lorimer was ex- pelled from that body by a vote of 55 to 28. To the everlasting humiliation of this state it must be written that Wesley LORIMER Jones banded with “Standard Oil” Bailey of Texas, with “Pussy Foot” Crane of Massachusetts, with Guggenheim of Colorado, with Penrose of Pennsylvania, with Smoot of Utah and the rest of that disgraceful 28. | WILL THE “RABBLE AND MOB,” AS JONES CALLS THE PEOPLE, ACCEPT THE RECOM- po Nana OF THE STANDPAT CONVENTION AND CONTINUE THE LORIMER SENATOR IN TOMORROW'S THE LONGEST DAY OF * will have 15 hours of daylight tor| it’s the longest day of the year, | BOUGHT YOUR BOND YET? ; According to government weather | bureau officials, Old Man Sol will OME on, folks, the water Is fine.
