and resulted in defeat.
In Iowa, the Democrats were no.
alone in viewing the Senatc's action
with satisfaction, since the leader
OF the regular" wing Of the Repub,
lican party also hailed it as a vic.
tory for the state central committee,
which for four years has fought the

As one result Of the outcome of
the contest, which was bitterly fought
through the elections committee, and.
during the last week, on the floor

medium for a fight of exceptiona.
interest, with Mr.. Brookhart opposing
the remaining Republican senator
from that state, Albert B. Cummins.

The prospect Of this fight already
has stimulated the hope Of Iowa
Democrats that it will give them both

George w. Norris

7NE of the finest exhibitions of public serv-
NJ ice this generations has witnessed is be-
ing given in the United States Senate by
George W. Norris of Nebraska. With the Off
cial opposition the Democratic side of the Sen
ate, too weak and Intellectual to serve the pur-
pose, Norris has been carrying on-a magnifs
~cent, even though hopeless, opposition of his
own to the program Of the Administration.
Everybody agrees that an active and intek
igent opposition to the dominant party is an
essential Of good government. This is true
even if the highest motives and the greatest
ability is conceded to the party in power. The
stronger the opposition the better. 1t supplies
the acid test to all proposals. good or bad, the
Government may make. That is the. normal
function of the Republican party when the
Democratic party is in power and of the Demo.
cratic party when the Republican party is in
power.
This year the Democratic party, as repre-
sented in the Senate seems to have shirked this
responsibility, allowing it to fall largely upon
the shoulders of the independent Republicans.
OF these because of his long experience in the
Senate, his native ability and his aggressive
courage, Norris is the outstanding figure Ac-
cepting his duty seriously he has tested every
major proposition that has come before the
Senate and has acted according to the die
tates of his conscience, his intellect and his
experience. He has done the work of a dozen
men-the work that real leader Of the Demo
Gratis would have divided among a dozen men.
Ever since he led the fight in the House that
broke the hold of Cannonism, Norris has been
a factor in Congress, but this year may prove
to be his greatest year when the whole story
is told.
What good has he done! 1t is hard to es-
innate. He has been out-voted consistently, of
course. But he has helped make the record on
number of important issues and the country
one of these days will have use for that rec
ord.
