Green 10 Seek COP
Backing on Demand
For Custer Of Glass

John Locke Green, Arlington
County treasurer, said today he will
offer fellow Republicans a resolution
demanding that the Senate declare
vacant the seat held by Senator
Glass, Democrat, of Virginia, on the
ground that he is incompetent to
attend to his duties"
He said he will present the meas.
ure at the State COP Convention
Saturday in Roanoke, first to the
Resolutions Committee and then on
the floor If the committee fails to
adopt it.
His resolution declares that six
months prior to the general election
Tin 1912 it was known by the Byrd
machine that the said Carter Glass,
esquire, was incompetent to attend
to his duties at that time. and his
incompetency would continue in the
future" but that 1T was not polit-
ically expedient for the Byrd ma
chine to utilize said Senate seat be-
cause Gov. Darden had three years
more to serve.
Mr.. Green said Senator Glass has
not attended to the duties required
of him as Senator for three years.
because he has not answered a roll
call since June 20, 1912.
1T is the most fragrant violation
of the Constitution I know Of.
They're responsible for the skull
duggeTy," Mr.. Green charged, re-
ferring to the Byrd organization.
In the resolution, Mr.. Green also
points out, sit now becomes politi-
cally expedient for the Byrd ma
chine that the seat of Senator Glass
be vacated in order to make room
in the Senate for his excellency,
Colgate w. Darden, who is now
servingshis last year as Governor
Mr.. Green said it would be better
to have Mr.. Darden actually serving
in the Senate than to have no
representation for one senatorship.
Mr.. Green said copies of the reso-
luton would be sent to each Senator
on its adoption by the Virginia
convention.

Plot Between Berlin
And Moscow Hotchino

September 26-"We have already
said that during the last few days
some sort of plot was Matching
between Moscow and Berlin and
today we have had confirmation

giving Bessarabia and Estonia to
the RuSsiane, and the remaining
part of Romania to the Germans.
Absolute silence from Berlin.
THE Germans prepare to strike
a blow without our knowledge every

Moscow and Berlin is a monstrous
union made against the letter and
spirit Of our pact. 1t is anti-Rome
