IowaSenator Attacks
Wilson's Policies

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2s.-The fea.
ture of the Republican fight on the ad-
ministration ship bill in the senate
was long. vigorous attack by sena-
or cummins upon President Wilson's
influence upon legislation and upon
the sentiments expressed in the presi-
dents indianapolis speech. g
"one Of the most reactionary and
dangerous proposals ever made pub
lie" was his Characterization OF the
bill. The presidents speech he at
tackled at length. "1ts effect has been
and will continue to be. to strengthen
the Republican cause said he. II

forget the courtesy and dignity al
ways looked for In one who occupies
the most exalted office in the world,
and the dismal effort of man OF ma:
ture age to change the habit of a life
time in order to win momentary ap-
plause." Cummins declared 1t to be
his deliberate Judgment that, taken
as whole, the course Of the presi-
dent has, in two years, turned back
the hands upon the dial Of progress SO
far that his party will not again be
trusted with the timepiece Of the
century,
At length he attacked the presi.

clared that with the exception of the
tariff law, all measures of general In

PRESIDENT HEARS
Views on LITERACY
Gives Audience To 500 Sup
porters and Opponents
Of the,Bill

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2s.-For more
than three hours yesterday President
Wilson listened to appeals that he
sign the immigration bill and pleas
that he veto it, voiced by the spokes.
mon Of 500 men and women who
packed the historic East room Of the
white house.
The speakers were labor leaders,
publicists, social workers, students
and others representing many inter.
ests in life, most OF them contending
for or against the literacy test, which
the bill proposes shall be applied to
determine the fitness of immigrants
to become citizens Of the United
States. Those opposed to the bill
contended that the literacy test and
others of its restrictive features are
not true tests Of the fitness Of an
immigrant, those contending for the
bill argued such restrictions. are need.
ed to preserve the standards OF life Of
American workingmen.
At the conclusion of the arguments
President Wilson thanked the men
and women for their. views, and said
he would act upon the bill soon. I'm
less he signs or.vetoes It by midnight
next Thursday, 1t will become a law
without his signature. The President
has indicated strongly, however, that
he will veto the measure because he
does not approve of the literacy test.
When President Taft vetoed an i'm.
migration bill because of the literacs
test the senate promptly repassed It
over his veto, but few votes of the
necessary twothirds wa stacking in
the house. Some of-th champions Of
the bill think both houses could now
repass it. Its opponents are sure ii
is impossible.
