NORRIS VAS ONE
OF "WILLFUL MEN,

Senator George W. Norris, Progress
sive Republican. of Nebraska, who to-
day attacked the Shantung provision of
the peace treaty in the Senate. was one
of the little group of wiIlful men -
as they were characterized by President
Wilson-who halted the armed ship bill
prior to the entrance of the United
States into the war.
Always an ''insurgcnt. Senator
Norris became leader of the forces
opposed to war with Germany. On
March 10. 1917 at a fair play and free
speech mass meeting in Philadelphia. he
was the principal "anti war speaker.
On April >. 1917. he charged that
Wall street. other financial interests
and newspapers wcr" fostering propa .
ganda for war sentiment.
senator Norris. on July : of this
wear. announced that he would not vote
for ratification of the treaty containing
the Shantuug provision. although he
favored league of nations. He then
told of the secret treaties, which he re-
vcalcl today.

were the only member of the court that
was not bribed? If we ratify this
treaty as it stands. we approve not only
the judgment. but the rcprehcnsibte
method by which it was brought about.
"If this treaty as it stands becomes
operative and later the 30.000.OOO of
Chinese in Shantuug should rebel
against the rule of the Japanese and
then if the balance OF China should go
to the assistance of their own brethren
in attempting to overthrow the unlaw-
full and cruel rule of n foreign gov
crnmrnt. then under Section 10 Of the
league OF nations, as it now stands. it
would be our duty to contribute Amer
lean lives and American blood on the
battlefield to assist Japan to retain her
power.
This treaty should go back and I
believe il the American people could
have an opportunity to see all the vice
that it contains. and were able to cX
press their patriotic sentiments, it would
60 back virtually by a unanimous vote.
When the honest citizens of Great
Britain. of France and of Italy,
realize the injustice that it contains.
they will unit with us in demanding
that it be rejected.
While declaring he favored the gen
eral idea of league of nations. Senator
Norris said he considered the Versailles
covenant contained many Objectionable"
features and would vote for changes
in it.
Underwood Supports League
tharactcrzing the league of nations
as practical step toward world peace
involving no sacrifice Of national soy
ereignty. Senator Underwood, Demo
crat. of Alabama, urged in the Senate
today acceptance of the league covenant
without amendment or reservation.
The great cause of war; he said.
may be paraphrascd in two words
National sclfishncss. Until the civil
zation of the world is prepared to de
throne its own selfish ideals and t"
recognize the rights of other peoples. the
Inherent causes of war must continue
to exist.
Il am not prepared to say that the
adoption of the present treaty carries

OF the primaries. Hence, at this time,
he said, IL was inconsistent to ask

Men from South Philadelphia
Reform leaders openly admitted that

South Philadelphia, where a cut in the
registration would imperil the Ware
representation in the new small chamber
council under the Woodruff charter.
While it could not be definitely
learned, it is believed that the majority
of the men in the corridors were from
south Philadelphia. They had been
marshaled secretly by the Republican
ward leaders following Senator Wares S
speech at the last meeting of the Re
publican city committee. in which he
urged that the soldier vote be looked
up by ward leaders.
The plans were made with such
secrecy that the committee of seventy
knew nothing of the move until tho
men swarmod the corridors.
Policeman Is First Witness
Mr.. Woodruff acted as master
of ceremonies and was chairman

Thomas Raeburn White, framer of the
charter bill. The reform leaders Wig
orously protested Mr.. Glass's sugges-
tion and said that, in view Of the fact
that this was the last day for persons
to appear to have their names added,
that II would be unlawful to present a
blanket petition.
At this time Messrs. Woodruff. Fell
and Quinn alone were sitting and they
decided that the question would have
to be decided by the entire board later
in the day. A fine point of law is
at issue over the question of ''in per-
SON." which the members of the board
then sitting did not wish to definitely
decide.
A hurry up summons was sent to the
absent commissioners. who soon ap-
peared. pushing their way through the
crowd in the corridors. BY this time
the east corridor was filed with men
and the south and west corridors were
rapidly filling. Before noon nearly 5000
men had assembled.
When the commissioners met they
decided that the names would be taken
and each case held under advisement
This was acceptable to Mr.. Roach, who
announced. however. that he would in
sist that he be permitted to scan the
list and protest any names he might have
evidence against. He likewise STATED
that he would endeavor to present the
huge list of the committee of sevent,

of the sixth floor.
Consultation is Held
Representative Leopold c. Glass. at
torney for the Republican city commit
tee. announced that he would have n
number of men on hand who desired
that their names be placed on the reg
istry lists. today being the last day
when names may be added or stricken
before the primaries.
A haSty consultation was held. Mr.
Roach. secretary of the committee of
seventy. was visibly pcrturbed and
hastily summoned members of the com T.
mite to obtain advice. In view of
the fact that Mr.. Pieric had not
been sworn he could not act and in the
absence of +. Lawrence Fell. Ignatius

commissioners, no action could be
taken.
In the height "f the confusion Mr..
Roach pctitioned the board to permit
him to file his thousands of strike off
names in blanket before midnight. He
was granted permission. This was
strcnuously objected to by the attorney
for the city committee.
To countcract this move. Mr.. Glass
soon demanded that he be permitted to
