There was great applause and Mr..

This presents the crux of the whole

or wants your committee to do, is to con-
strue yourselves as to treason and to pro-

was in Washington and Baltimore yes

He stopped in the city last night on MS

Mr.. Hillquit insisted that his motions
were being confused constantly by the
opposition. He repeated that his first
proposition was that the Assembly had NO

strictly by the constitutions; that even II
there were such additional power the As

SEDITI0N BILL
Oklahoma Senator Launches
Bitter Attack on Graham
Measure Before House.
HEARINGS TO BEGIN TO-DAY
Increase in the Propaganda Against
the Proposed Law Marked
by Representatives.
ESPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD

lSPECiAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD
WASHINGTON, u. c., Wednesday,
Propaganda against legislation for the
punishment of sedition has increased enor-
nnousy in the last few days. according TO
Representative Campbell Republican, OF
Kansas, who is chairman Of the Rules
Committee which is to hear both advo-
Gates and opponents Of the measure in
open session tomorrow. Mr. Campbell
exhibited q mass of kilograms and letters
he has received within the last twenty
four hours, most of them indicating thar
they have been sent as the result of or
ganized effort.
A. bitter inYective against the bill re-
ported by Tn eHouse judiciary Commit
tee was launched here tonight by Senator
Owen, Democrat of Oklahoma. at a din
ner given by the National Popular Gov
ernment League. Senator Owen charac-
terized as nonsense" much of the SEN
tirnnt against "Boshevist revolution"
"I am against the Graham peace time
sedition bills" said Senator owen, "be-
cause it goes beyond all reasonable inhi-
bitions, violates the spirit OF the federal
constitution and places in the office OF
Pcstnas ster General and other federal Off
GERS powers which ought TO be trusted to
no bureau clerk. Such arbitrary power
would asSuredly be abused and liberty of
speech be under IN ever dangerous menace.
II have too much faith in the common
sense and patriotism of some one hundred
and ten millions OF American people to
believe that either their opinions about
their government or their gov ernment itself
can be 'overthrown' by handful Of ex-
treme theorists whose doctrines and prac-
tces are rejected even by the vast major
ity of Socialists.
Ninety per cent of the talk about dan
ger of a 'Bolshevik revolution In this
country is nonsense. 1t is high time to
discount hysteria and return to normal
thinking. We have serious tasks ahead
of US to perform. Congress needs the
combined judgment of all classes of our
people. We cannot have social intelligence
without free discussion. Free discussion
has as a result of the war been partially
suppressed for two years. But now when
peace has come for US to attempt to en-
danger free discussion as the Graham bill
does is folly and worse than folly. TO
hang threatening sword over the lib
erty of speech of every labor, farmer, and
liberal organization in this nation no mat
ter how loyal and patriotic their conduct
has been, is not the way to promote
safety and good will.
But ought we not to stop advocacy of
violence and revolution? But right there
our citizens, misled by sensational head
lines, need to be reminded that the statute
books of the several States and of the
national government are loaded with
ample provisions to meet and deal prompt
ly with such advocacy at any time. If
any person doubts that let him read the
first eight sections of the federal criminal
code and the laws OF his own State.
Il believe that when members OF Con-
