Opposes Measure to Speed Up
Meetings of Congress.
UPHoLDS THE CONSTITUTION
Resolution by Senator Norris. Repub-
liean Of Nebraska, Sponsored ny the
Progressives. Would Add
Amendment No. 20.

Washington. Dec e.-MOves In the
senate for a constitutional amendment
providing for direct election of presi-

thinks that the constitution does not
need the constant tinkering that II has
been undergoing lie always has been
OF that opinion and has had no ocea-
sion to change his mind.
One of the greatest Inspirations of
the fathers. In the opinion OF Mr..
Harding, was the provision that a con-
gress should not come into existence
as soon as elected. but not till the fol-
lowing year. That provision gives OPP
pOrtunity for sober reflection on public
questions. which is beneficial To sound
legislation.
Gives Time for Reflection.
The President has observed that
the American people are prone to De
swayed by ephemeral whims which
would be likely to be translated into
legislation II congress we're to meet
Immediately after election. He sees
no advantage in the proposal, 2arti,u-
larly as the executive has the power
TO call a new congress into extraor-
binary session within six months after
the election.
The senate agricultural committee.
dominated largely by prOgressives.
voted To recommend to the senate the
resolution. sponsored by Senator Nor
ris (Neb.. Rep) providing for the sub
mission of constitutional amend
ment.

gress on the first Monday In January
