About this person

William Lorimer was an American Republican politician who represented Illinois in the United States House of Representatives and United States Senate. In 1912, however, the Senate expelled Lorimer, holding that his election was invalid due to his use of corrupt methods and practices, including bribery of state legislators. Lorimer was known as the "Blond Boss" of Chicago.
