HUNTzSc2
WASHINGTON & 1f;ii;i
LETTE E
BY HARRY B. HUNT
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON. May 16.-"Let
your conscience be your guide"
That, in substance, is the advice
Of Senator George w. Norris Of
Nebraska to his constituents as TO
whether in the coming elections
they shall follow the traditions of
the state and vote the Republican
ticket straight.
Norris himself landing for re-
election. He is not running. He
permitted his name to remain on
the ticket after it had been put Up
by friends, although he had an
nounced his determination to retire
to private life.
Twenty-Five year in Congress, 10
in the House and IL in the Senate,
had left him with no illusions as to
the futility of trying to reconcile
politics with patriotism. rhe two
may often touch, he found, but they
don't mix. The demands Of party
regularity and the dictates os con
viction and conscience seldom CO.
incided.
Constantly under the lash Of his
party's leaders, because he refused
TO follow blindIy where they led, he
decided at length that the game
was not worth the candle,
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1924-05-16

But the irony of the situation is
that Norris, disclaiming party reg
ularity, declaring for personal rath-
er than party responsibility, win
head the Nebraska delegation to
the Cleveland convention!
Should Wisconsin bolt the con
vention, will Norris and Nebraska
sit tight, or, following the lead of
conscience and consistency, will
they, too, walk out?
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1924-05-16

But perhaps the people of Ne
braska prefer to be represented IN
Congress by Norris conscience
rather than by partisan expediency.
Anyhow, they have kept him in the
race,
Does it mean that, in supporting
Norris for another term n the
Senate, they should also support
the national Republican ticket?
That question troubled friend.
who know Norris is not in sym
pathy with the Coolidge candidacy
or with the stand-pat, conservative
group now dominant in the G. o. P.
organization.
But Norris replied his hope 70.
Nebraska is that its voters wQl
"abolish party responsibility and ir
its stead establish personal respon-
sibihty' on the part of it's public
servants.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1924-05-16

In Washington this pronounce
ment is regarded as an invitation
by Norris for his followers to get
behind the Independent movement
forming in the middle west, which
is expected to crystalline behind
LaFollette.
Norris is closer to LaFollette
than any other member of the
Senate. They are George" and
Bob to each other. Their affec
tion for each other is deep and
genuine, resting on personal much
more than political grounds. De-
spite his candidacy as a Republican.
for reelection to the Senate, Norris
will be found pulling for LaFollette
for president should the Wisconsin
fighter be boosted to the Leadership
Of an independent ticket.

The bitterness. with which Re-
publican regulars" regard the Nor
ris situation is indicated by ne
