No Shadow of Doubt on Lorimer Title in Senate
Senator Burrows declares there is no proof that any senator was bribed to vote for Lorimer and rejects testimony by White, Link, Beckemeyer, and Holstlaw as unreliable. He argues the committee report validating Lorimer’s seat rests on no credible bribery evidence and condemns White's credibility while analyzing other witnesses. Also notes postmasters nominated in Iowa and a temperature report with a brutal zero wind chill.
