Show M VICE PRESIDENT A LORIMERITE. i I 1, "When Lorimer's case was reaching a crisis in the senate and a i m P0 e senate disclosed a majority against seating the Illinois m corruptionist, Vice President Sherman hurried to Chicago to urge i m Lorimer to retire from the fight so as not to further embarrass his M friends within the Republican party. This was an acknowledgment of Lorimer's guilt, or it was a cow- ardly evasion of a duty to be performed in the exonerating of an i innocent man. As an acknowledgment of guilt, it was an open con- Js fession of turpitude on the part of Sherman a desire to screen a ras-'. ras-'. I eal and defeat the ends of justice. Today this man Sherman is the running mate of Taft. The Rent Re-nt publican party as at present constituted would prefer a Sherman to 1 i Jj a Lincoln. The bosses have nouse for a man of high principle. |
