Aldrich Denies Hines tale in Lorimer election probe
Former Rhode Island Senator Nelson W. Aldrich testified before Senate committees denying pressuring Edward Hines to promote Senator Lorimer’s candidacy. He says Hines approached him about Lorimer’s status and administration views, with Aldrich claiming no requests or messages were sent to Lorimer or Governor Deneen. Senator Penrose corroborated Hines’s influence in the tariff debate and Lorimer’s bid, while noting Hines pressed for a lumber schedule in 1909.
