MAY GUST NORRIS
Nebraskan Asks Recall Vote
on Traitor" CHARGE.

Senator George w. Norris, Progressive
Republican, Of Nebraska, and one of the
''little group of wilful mem who fought
the enactment of the armed ship bill, will
seek vindication of his course at the
polls. He has rendered Gov. Keith
Neville. of Nebraska. the suggestion that
the legislature of Nebraska be asked to
call a special election at which the ques-
ton Of his recall may be submitted to
the voters of the State.
In a letter to the governor, Senator
Norris explained that he had been
charged with treason to his country, and
with misrepresentation of his constitu-
ency.
The publication of these charges
throughout the United States, said the
Senator, have convinced him that he
should seek justification or condemnation
at the hands OF the people who elected
him. He adheres to the opinion that his
course was justified by reason Of his own
Interpretation of the armed shin bill as
a virtual surrender of the war-making
power, guaranteed and specifically re-
served to Congress under the Constitu-
ton, from the legislative to the execu-
tive branch of the government. Said
Senator Norris:
IT have no desire to represent the
people of Nebraska, either in the United
States Senate or elsewhere, if my official
conduct is contrary to their wishes, and
If am misrepresenting them, the remedy
is my recall. I am still opposed to maxi
ing a Gar or a Kaiser out Of the Presi-
dent"
Senator Norris told Gov. Neville that he
was willing to waive his personal prero-
gative under the Constitution, and while
his Senatorship was secure from recall
under the organic law of the United
States he would, in the event the special
election condemned him, tender his resig-
nation forthwith. He asked that the cleo
ton be held not later than May 1.

Daniels Dismisses Lieutenant
for Drinking, Despite Record.

While the Navy Department has been
making a canvass of young officers suf-
fciently skilled in gunnery to protect
American armed liners, the most expert
young officer in the service. Lieut..
Thomas NJ. Upton. has been dismissed
from the service by Secretary Daniels
on charge of intoxication.
The case has caused a stir in naval
circles because every officer on the court

ton. added an earnest appeal OF his own
to save him.
Rear Admiral Palmer pointed out that
the young officer, who comes from New
Mexico had twelve years excellent ser
vice behind him, that this was his first
offense and that he not only was the
best gunnery officer in service but had
established a worlds record by not miss
ing a single shot with his turret at long
range and under conditions almost as
difficult as shooting at a periscope in a
rough sea.
Secretary Daniels, who has strong
views on the liquor question, after re-
ceiving Admiral Palmer's recommen-
dation. replied thatN"no punishment other
than dismissal could adequately rebuke
the young officer for his having yielded
to intoxicating liquors. Lieut.. Upton.
therefore. has been dismissed.
Lieut.. Edward c. Lange, Of wiscon-
sin, was tried by courtmartisl for over
indulgence in intoxicants and was also
dismissed.
1t is learned that four more officers
had been dismissed from the navy for
various offenses not made public-Lieut.

ST. MARY JUSTICE
SPEAKS ATLAFAY-
ETTE MEETING

Judge W. 4. Baker, OF TaHhiii,
was the principal orator at meet
in held in Lafayette, last Saturday,
for the purpose Of organizing a Par
ish Council of Defense.
According to the Gazette, Judge
Bakers address was pronounced "a
clarion call to the whole country by
Mr.. Charles D. Caffery, prominent
Lafayette attorney.
The Gazette's report Of the meet
ing follows in part:
Judge VIM. Campbell called the
assembly to order and in few well
chosen remarks explained its pur-
pose. He then requested Attorney
Jerome oMuton to preside and in TAX
ing the chair this gentleman stated
some of the main issues of the war,
saying that at the battle front was
destruction but at home there must
be construction. 1t was the duty of
every patriotic citizen to support the
government in this momentous strug-
gle. President Mouton then intro
duced Judge w. C. Baker of Frank
lin as the principal speaker and eX-
pressed the hope that he would give
expression to the lofty and patriotic
sentiments Of those great MISSISSIPPI
plan statesmen, George, Walthal and
Williams and not James K. Varda
man. Judge Baker assured the au-
dience he was no follower of Varda-
man and said he had just returned
from his native state where he found
Vardaman capitalizing the cowardice
of the people for selfish purposes,
which policy he condemned in scath-
ing terms. How any American could
assume Vardaman's attitude on the
war issue he could not understand
and declared that right or wrong the
struggle must be fought to success
full issue. Why we are at war was
enunciated in President Wilson's
message last April in terms too ex-
plicit to need further discussion. The
war was not for gain Of commercial
profit but for the principles of de-
mocracy, justice and human rights,
that have been so insolently thrown
to the winds by the autocracy of
Germany.
The mortality in war had been
greatly reduced by scientific medical
treatment and nursing by the Red
Cross Society, and this organization
should receive the hearty support Of
all good people2 The United States
was fighting for principles upon
which the people were all united, and

GUM. Judge Bakers address was
one Of the strongest and most elabo-
rate heard in the campaign, and at
its conclusion President Mouton
heartily thanked him in behalf If the
people of Lafayette.
Mr.. Chas. D. Caffery concluding
the speeches in brief resume of the
situation, declaring Judge Bakers
address a clarion call to the entire
country. The danger was not alone

ton but of Christian civilization it.

St. MARY BOYS PASS
EXAMINATION With
FLYING C0LORS

CITY. and John A. O'Niell, of Frank
I'm. who are members of the First
Draft Contingent at Camp Pike, Ar
kansas, report to the Local Board
that the St. Mary boys have passed
the government physical examination
with flying colors.
According to letters which were
received from them Tuesday, the
local men were assigned to Company
y and put through the rigors Of
army life on probation for fourteen
days. They will now be allotted uni
forms and be placed in permanent
commands for instruction in military
tactics.
Private Theriot's message is terse,
but well expressed: Drilling is a
little tough, but / will straighten
out. All well" --E. D. Theriot.
The letter from John A. O'Niell
follows:
with the Colors."
Sept. IA, 1917.
Local Board, St. Mary Parish:
l should have written you sooner
but we were put to work Immediately
upon our arrival here, Sunday morn
ing, and l have been so tired every
night since that time that have
hardly had energy to write.
All of the boys arrived safely and
all of them are well and in excellent
spirits. l hardly think that any Of
them could be persuaded to 60 back
home now.
l want you to advise all Of the
boys who come in the Second Call to
bring a pair of comfortable shoes as
they will have to drill about eight
hours a day for the first fourteen
days, with no other shoes than the
ones that they bring with them.
They will also have to wear the civil
liam clothes for the same length Of
time; so it will be we'll for them to
bring a couple of pair Of trousers,
two or three suits of underclothes, as
many socks and handkerchiefs as
they care to, soap and toilet articles,
top shirts and shaving accessories.
Be sure to impress upon them the i'm
portance of having strong and COM
Portable shoes as the drilling is hard
and some of the fellows are suffer-
mig from their feet. If the soles of
their shoes are nearly worn through,
it would be- we'll to get them half
soled.
All of the boys in the first con-
tingent from st. Mary passed their
final physical examination with fly
ing colors today. In Company IL,
thirteen failed out of one hundred
and thirty. So you see, St. Mary
has some cause to be proud of her
first contingent.
Some Of the boys have received
letters from home asking if their
home folks can send Parcel Post
packages of eadibles. If any of
them ask you about this, please tell
them that they may send anything
they please, and little things from
home will be appreciated.
With regards to all of you and
hoping that the next bunch will up
hold the precedent we have estab-
lished,
Yours truly,
