Lorimer Faces Prolonged Senate Hearing Over Seat
In Washington the Senate debated Mr Lorimer's retention amid interruptions as Mr Beveridge pressed his case. A letter from a North Dakota farmer criticizing James J. Hill surfaced during the session. The House devoted time to naval appropriations and coal transport restrictions, with the navy's phased increase program receiving concurrence. Lorimer argued about Deneen and Hopkins candidacies and defended his own path to the seat, citing past electoral influences and party crossovers.

Progressives Favor Extra Session in Senate
Progressive Republicans in the Senate favor an extra session to push back on pending measures and seek a delay of votes on the Lorimer case and the popular election of senators. They hope a rehearing could unseat Lorimer, and see the public election plan passing in a new Congress, though some oppose Canadian reciprocity and may aim to amend it, potentially triggering the extra session.
