FORMER REPUBLICAN
SEN.JjEAO CHICAGO
, (By The Associated Press)
CHIt'ACO, Sept, 1 t. Former
Senator William Lorimer dropped
dead hen- in the Northwestern D
pot, last night. Death was attri
buted to a heart attack. Follow
ing is a sketch ol’ his life.
Th,. rise anil fall of William j
Lorimer in the political life of 111- |
inois and the nation was packed ;
with dramatic and hitter incid
ents.
For a score of years he was 1
known as the "Blond Boss of.
the Uepnblicali party in Illinois. '
During that time he tutored in his j
school of political technique men ,
who later tilled his shoes as the j
storm center of political attacks j
His ousting from the 1’nite.li
(States Senate was perhaps 'th"'l
greatest disappointment of Mr. Lon
tiler's career., 'while the most hum j
'Bating incident that befell him '
was when Theodore Roosevelt. I
then a former president, bared
his fajnotts teeth and refused to
dine with Lorlniore.
The latter incident occurred at j
Freeport, III., in 1010. while
Roosevelt was - making a tour of j
the country. A delegation of the
Hamilton Club-ryf Chicago, the,
largest Republican Club in the !
west, went to Freephtt to welcome
the former" president and irfvi'e
him to a lnimiuet that had been
prepared in his honor.
It the time I/orimer was Mini
junior I'nited Slates Senator from
Illinois and the most influential
member of the Hamilton Club. He
had weathered a senatorial invest
igation of charges that lie had
obtained his seal by fraud* and
bribery of legislators. After a
tearful plea by Mortimer, the Sen
ate virted 4«ik to 40 agaitist oust
ing him.
It was the evidence adueeed dur
ing the investigation, however,
that caused Roosevelt to astound
the committee from the Hamilton
Club by refuing to eat. at tile same
table with the senator. The club
withdrew its invitation- to Senator
Lorimer, who resigned his member
ship the next day. For years af
terward, Hamilton Club members
were divided on the question whe
ther Lorimer's oi' Roosevelt’s in
vitation ^to the banquet should
have bebn withdrawn.
Political enemies of the sen
ator were not satisfied with the
whitewashing hi?, had receied and
new charges wer^ i followed hy
another investigation. )At its
conclusion the Senate, hy a vote of
55 to 28 on July 13, 1912, de
clared vacant the seat of the Ill
inois member.
Mr. Lorimer, who had served 12
years in the lower House of Con
gress. had been reelected for tl<*
tei m 1909-11. The illin j's Legis
lature, wlile hhal been doad.ock
ed for. five months over tho elec
tion of a senator, finally In May,
1909, ohose Mr. Lorimer. A year
later, Charles A. White, a member
of the Legislature, confessed that
lie had received n bribe tor hist
vote and that a "jackpott" corrup
lion fund had been used during
the session to influence legislation.
It, was, on that confession that this
charges were made against the
sen a t or.
