Senator Joseph s. Frelinghuysen OF
New Jersey, in the senate yesterday
for wha. Williams claimed was
Frelinghuysen's "disrespectful utter
ances" about former President
Woodrow Wilson.
Long after Woodrow Wilson has
gone TO his well earned rest, Sen
ator FreIinghuysen's grandchildren
and Observation-Disclosures will be
wondering 10Y he ever could haVe
raid a disrespectful word of the
greatest public man OF ms genera
ton. declared Senator Williams with
considerable heat.
AIIeT otlidlOI To-
Carolina. Democrat. had scolded
Senator Frelinghuysen generously
for introducing his amendment to
obtain ar additional federal judge
for New Jersey only in the spirit OF
retting a piece of pie" for New
Jersey so long as the pie was be-
LIZ handed out, Senator Williams
zokingIy remarked that nobody
could ever tell what New Jersey was
roing to do next, politically or other-
wise.
Il admit we were doubtful when
we elected Mr.. Wilson, nut thdt
cured us" retorted Senator FREE
linghuysen. WIZ,
1,,ms abandoned his funny re-
marks for things more serious and
proceeded to take the hide on
F'rslinghuysen.
