NORRIS AND A THIRD PARTY

In declining to be identified with
a third party movement Senator
Norris Of Nebraska speaks wisely
The cards are ali stacked against
an effective third party movement
in this country Until there Is pro
portional representation in Con-
gress based on the actual voting
strength Of the parties rather than
upon what districts can be carried
sucf movements are a waste of et
fort. The radicals and progresses
can do better by getting themselves
elected upon one or the other OF the
labels attached to the major parties.
Although the LaTollette- Wheeler
ticket polled nearly 5000, con votes
in 1924, how many representatives
did that huge block OF voters get in
the national leyislature' If anybody
has a right to claim that democracy
isn't all II could be II Is the membe
of a third party which polls that
many votes and gets no congression-
al recognition for its strenth.
LaFollette carried one state, Wis
conein; he vas second in II states
Minnesota. North Dakota, South Ds-
kota, Iowa. Montana Idaho.
Wyoming. Nevada, California,
Oregon and Wa shington.
That. TO use trite expression. was
going some for a brand new party.
But where did IT land in a practical
way Small wonder Senator LaFol-
lette was a discoura ged man.
Yesterday wac not the first time
that Senator Norris was asked to
lead = third party. He was suggested

Massachusetts Anti-Saloon league.
today stood under censure OF the
state house Of representatives and
in addition was barred from privi-
leges accorded to legislative agents.
The house so voted, 81 to SO, yes
terday after warm debate on the
report OF 4 special committee which
investigated Forgrave's charges of
an alleged wild party" at the time
Of the last propagation.
Forgrave had charged that the
party reminds one of the drunken
parties held in the back room OF the
saloons In the days before prohibi-
ton" but when called to testify ad-
n1itted that he had no personal
knowledge
Two witnesses produced by him
who swore they had been at the
state house the night in question
were private detectives who had
criminal records and whose testi-
mony was vague.
In the debate which preceded the
vote. Representative Garrett H.
Byrne OF Roxbury and Henry l..
shattuck of Boston denounced For
grave and demanded he be censured
Representative Perry OF Belmont led
the opposition in asserting that It
ought to be beneath the dignity Of
the house to accord Forgrave any
recognition.
Others declared that to censure
Forgrave would rebound to his bene-
f1t by making him appear as 4

A motion to refer the report Of
the committee to the attorney gen
eral was made by Representative
Lultwieler Of Newton but in the

sure the chair did not hear 1t and
unanimous consent to place the mo-
ton in order was denied.
The Forgrave censure will be taxi
Ell up by the senate next week when
the wild party" and liquor diver
sion reports to which 1t was made
an amendment are to be considered.
The investigation Of charges majc
by Freeman H. Dickinson, a state
boiler inspector stationed at Pitts
field but formerly attached to the
headquarters force Of the depart
ment OF public safety here. resulted
earlier in the week In discrediting
Dickinson's allegations that state
confscated liquor had been diverted
to the use Of legislators ana others.
The committee probed Dickinson's
charges after 1t had Investigated the
Forgrave matter and both conclu-
sions were contained In the report
adopted yesterday together with the
censure proposed by Representative
