Senator plIIlnaham.

William Paul Dillingham; is SEN
ator who does things that should be
done, and does them well. His intro
ductlon in the Senate yesterday of a
bill which. IL IL becomes a law, will
materially reduce immigration from
Southern and Eastern Europe and
Western Asia, is case in point. AS
chairman of the former immigration
Commission. Senator Dillingham;
showed that he had mastered the i'm
migration question. which is one of
the most important OF those now
pressing for settlement
Ever since Mr.. Dillingham; went I,
Washington, IL years ago. he has
been known as one of the strong
men in the Senate. He is honest. he
is capable. he is fearless, and he is
industrious This is the universal tes-
timony of those who are familiar
with his record at the national CAPT
tai A man of keen intelligence. his
ability is matched by his devotion
to the public service.
Vermont has reason to be proud
Of Senator Dillingham;. Her infiu-
ence at washington-an influence
out of all proportion to her popula
tion-has been maintained through
the policy OF sending senators who
showed that they had superior quail
LEGATIONS back to the Senate when
their terms expired. There should
be no change in policy now.
Mr.. Dillingham;, who was elected
United States senator in 1909 to ill
the vacancy caused by the death Of
Justin S. Morrill, and who has serv-
ed continuously since that time.
should be reelected next year. His
services are worth more today than
ever before. Vermont owes Il not
only to herself. but to the country.
to do her share toward keeping in
the Senate the able and experienced
men who have shown that they have
sound and conservative notions con-
corning constitutional government
There was never greater need OF
such men az Washington than there
Is at this time.-Rutland Herald.

Decide on Joint Session.

The senate debated for nearly an hour
the concurrent resolution for joint
session tomorrow to hear President Will
sons message. No senator OF the dozen
who spoke opposed the passage OF the
resolution. but several on both sides OF
the chamber expressed regret at the
departure from the Jeftersonian custom
OF sending In written messages. Tech
nical objection to It's adoption at today's
session. except by unanimous consent
was made by Senator Stone. supported
by Senators Lodge and Smoot,
Senator Williams made the principal
speech upholding the value of the Jefter-
son precedent. and Senator Lodge was
inclined TO agree with him, Vice Presi-
dent Marshall practically ended the de-
bate by ruling that the resolution was
OF the highest privilege and, therefore,
subject for action at once without unanl
nous consent. Although several senators
spoke against the vice presidents ruling
an appeal was not taken and the resolu-
tion was adopted without dissenting
vote.
Senator Bacon had asked that the reso
luton be adopted. Senator Lodge said
he was not opposed TO its passage. but
