BY PRESIDENT

Statement Refuted That President Said That the
Entrance of the United States into the War
Might Render Service to Civilization

WASHINGTON, March 8. - Bv a
vote OF 6s TO IA, a greater majority
than they expected, the administra-
tion forces in the senate today tabled
Senator Gore S resolution to warn
Americans off the armed ships of the
European belligerents and thereby
finally quelled in the senate any agita-
ton which has embarrassed President
Wilson in the submarine negotiations
with Germany.

tute by Senator MeCumber, a RepubIi-
can, and an attempt by Senator Gore
TO strengthen his original proposal, all
We're defeated at one time on roll
call on a motion by Senator James. one
of the administration s whips, to ia
bic them.
The administration victory in the
senate transferred the fight to the
house.
Before the vote was taken Senator
Gore offered a correction on his reso-
luton to make it declare the sense of
the senate that the death of an Ameri-
can citizen on an unarmed merchant
ship would be just cause for war.
After a brief parliamentary brush
he was permitted to submit the cor
reetion of his resolution, but when he
sought to discuss it he was shut off
on objection my Senator James.
The correction was then read and
Senator James moved that it be in
cluded in the motion to table the orig
inal resolution and all substitutes.
Senator Gallinger asked that the
original Gore resolution be read. Thar
was done and the Vice President Or
dered a roll call on a motion TO table
Senator Gore s correction, which it was
decided had to be considered separate
ly.
The vote on the motion to table the
Gore correction was so framed that it
also tabled the Gore resolution itself

other proposals.

We are driven TO this radical posi-

Of the fact that the real church OF
Rome-the popes, cardinals, and
clorgy-is primarily a political cor
poration principally intent on
gaining control Of this nation for
the purpose Of setting aside its con-
stitutional government and putting
in its place the monarchial and
aristOcratic rule Of Rome.
We are convinced that papal
meddling in the public affairs Of
this country should cease; and that
the sooner political Romanism is
checked and definitely defeated in
its designs upon American democ-
racy, the sooner we may feel secure
! in the liberties we possess and in
the possibility Of perfecting our
utilities and enlarging our free
dom.
