Changes Follow Charges BY Re-
pubIicans That Measure Is In-
tended for Campaign Use.
SOLONS IN HOT DEBATE
Amendment Drawn to Meet Charges
That Act Would Prevent Leaiti-
mate Criticism of Administra.
ton in Conduct of War.

Washington April I0. - Charges
that the sedition bin pending in the
Senate is designed among other
things to prevent criticism OF the
administration In the next campaign
resulted In It's being amended were
adopted following bitter debate.
The changes drawn to meet the OBJ
lection that the bin would prevent
legitimate criticism of the admins
tratiOn I'm the war were In the clause
penalizing disloyal, profane, scurril-
Gus, abusive or contemptuous lam
guage directed at the form OF gov
ernment, constitution, flag or uni
forms OF the nation and calculated
to bring them into contempt or
scorn."
Amendments Offered.
Senator Thomas OF Colorado offered
an amendment to provide that such
acts should be "willful" and Senator
Borah of Idaho proposed to substitute
The word Intended" for "calculat.
ed" There were objections that con-
victions would be difficult TO secure
under such language, but both amend.
ments were approved, that of Senator
Borah by vote of "a to 2s, with par
tisan lines disregarded.
Senator Poindexter OF Washington
suggested the bill be amended so that
"no Bolshevik shall have anything to
do with its enforcement"
That would break up the admin.
istration," replied Senator Sherman.
Il am satisfied" said Senator Shcr.
man Of Illinois, that this bill ia de.
signed to prevent a full discussion OF
governmental questions In the next
campaign and that It will be so used"
Galllnser Admits Contempt.
Senator Gallinger said the bill was
too broad and might be used against
men criticizing the President The
penalties against "contemptuous and
scurrilous" criticism OF the American
form OF government" he suggested
might be improperly applied.
''It has very extreme provisions
said Mr.. Gallinger THE phrase
form of government might be con.
strued to mean the President.
Another unsuccessful effort was
made during the day by Senator Over
man Of North Carolina, in charge OF
the measure, to secure unanimous con.
sent to fix a time for a final vote.
Objections Immediately followed.
