Lorimer Probers Open as $100000 Election Jackpot Mentioned
Washington reports the Lorimer Senate election probes opened with testimony about a $100000 jackpot to influence Lorimer’s election. Du luth executive Willan Burgess testified on a train in March 1911 that C F Wiehe declared a pool formed to elect Lorimer and Burgess himself put up $10000. Burgess questioned whether Wiehe claimed a larger sum or a jackpot, and an affidavit said a Chicago editor’s detective claimed to be working to trump up charges against Lorimer.
