Norris Faction Seems
Smiling and Content
Not in the Least Worried Over the Criticism
OF Harmony Committee" Emanating
From Workingmen's Meeting.

They can rave all they want to about
the decision of the Democratic harmony
committee recognizing James L. Norris
as national committeeman, but the more
they talk the more they viii prejudice
their case. We are confident that the
action of the subcommittee is irrev-
OCable. and therefore we are not worry
ing in the least about what the other so
called 'anti-Norris' faction is doing"
This statement made today by a Dis
trict Democratic leader explained the
feeling with which the Norris hackers
regard the result OF a meeting of work
ingmcn held AZ sos Sixth Street north
west last night when resolutions were
adopted protesting against the action Of
the Democratic harmony" committee
and refusing to abide by its ruling.
Norris men who We're approached about
the matter all seemed to be perfectly
satisfied with the security Of their po-
sition- in further explanation of the
one Of the leaders said:
1t is ridiculous for that faction to
talk about holding a rump convention
now or to refuse TO accept the subcom-
mittee's decision. The action of the
committee is as final as if it had been
before the highest court. The submits
sion OF the matter - the subcommittee

n.zed the justice of Mr. Norris claims.
there is no reason why Che matter
should not be accepted by all As far
as the objection 70 the rules IL con-
Ccrued that also is very far fetched
and shows that they are hard pressed
to find faults over which TO stir up a
row.
IF an even number of judges is to be
elected there would never be any posi-
blhty of deciding a question at issue.
1t would be like having an even num-
Der of men on a board of directors or
a court Of arbitra ton. The committee
was perfectly right iu making the rules
provide for a minimum of one judge in
each district and a maximum of three. 70
The Hearst question has entered into
the quarrel by reason Of tire strong
Hearst sentiment among the Anti-NOr-
rls followers. 1t is not their policy to
hold rump convention, however. as
they believe this would be the surcst
way of playing into Mr.. Norris hands.

gotten together for even a preliminary

adopted until the regular meeting, which
Pas been called for April 6. when the
whole matter of the rules for the Dis
