"Such a provision, so applied and

be a most invidious function for any

possible but probable that very serious

When the message was read in the
house it was ordered to lie on the
table until Thursday morning and
champions of the bill began laying
their plans for an effort TO override
the veto. Chairman Burnett announc-
ed tonight that he would move for a
vote Thursday. Two years ago the
house lacked only four votes Of the
necessary two-thirds majority to pass
the bill over the veto, the yeas being
261 and the nays 1876. The attempt
having failed in the house no action
was taken by the senate.
When President Taft vetoed a SIM

test, the senate succeeded in over
riding him by more than q two-thirds
majority but the house fell short about
a dozen votes.
