Wilson's Administration Kept
Southern Democrats Out of
War

In the course OF the debate
on the Newbery case, Senator
George II. Moses, OF New Hamp-

reduced the census estimates of
the population OF Democratic stat
es and increased that OF Republi-
can stats with the result that
more men were drafted for the
World-waR. in proportion to popu-
lation in the republican than in the
Democratic states. Senator Car
away, OF Arkansas emphatically
denied this assertion and challeng-
ed Senator Moses, to produce
proof. " Whereupon Senator
Moses introduced into the Cong
ressional Record 4 table OF official
statistics showing that the census
estimates OF population in 1917
were increased in II Northern

Measure by Republicans Who
Questions CONSTITUTE ,naIity.

Democrats were aided yesterday
IN their fight against the Dyer am
i-lynching bill by Representative
K avis. Republican. Nebraska
who declared Il was evident that
some members OF Congress sworn
to uphold the Constitution were
ready to "ravish it. He urged
defeat OF the bill. asserting its pas
sage would be an unconstitutional
usurpation OF power by the FEEDER
al q overnment.
All afternoon the bill, carrying
he eaVy penalties for persons par
tieipatlng in lynchings and for
officials who fail through negli-
gence 10 prevent them. was alter
na,ely commented and attacked
Representative Burton. Repub.
iican Of Ohio, declaring that lynch
ing was the darkest blot on an
otherwise splendid civilization, as
serted there was only one crime
to which it could be compared
csnniba.ism.
After Representative Sanders
Republican OF Indiana, had declar.
ed there was no question as to iht
authority OF Congress to deal witt
the question Representative Mon.
tasue. Democrat, OF Viginia. at
tackled the bill on constitutional
grounds.
Later Representative Dsllinger
