Lincoln, Jan. 23.-United States
Senator George w. Norris will have
hard time proving his new tenure
Of Office unless Secretary of State
D. M. Amsberry and Governor
McKelvie help him out Of an
uneasy situation in which he
says he was left by former

and former Governor Neville. The
mistake, Senator Norris says, was
perhaps unintentional."
A delay, he says in. a letter to
Secretary of State D. NJ. Amsberry.

republicans would reorganize the

vouches for the fact that that the
senator was duly elected 9for 4 term
of six years ending January mo

his letter.
Before the senator can be seated.
he says, his certificate would have to

privileges and elections committee.
where evidence would have to be
taken and proof submitted that his
reelection was for six years from
January Of this year.
As an alternative he asks Cover

Amsberry TO make out new certi-
ficatee which will probably be done.
The old certificate was dated
January 9, the day the old admins
tration retired and the new admins
trations took Office at the state
capitol.
Mr.. Amsberry says he consulted

One nice feature of the arrival of
the American commissioners here

reason of the fact that we made the

In so doing, however, the American

Of society's DEGREES by leaving their

legation in Paris.
Another thing about which the
