14 THIRD PARTY TALK | DENIED BY NORRIS Has Not “Assumed Progres- sive Leadership” and Will Not Enter New Group. Senator Norris of Nebraska, a mem- ber of the so-called Progressive bloc of the Senate, has made public cor- respondence exchanged between him- self and proponents of a new Pro- gressive party, showing that he has no intention of entering a third po- litical party and declaring he has not “assumed” the Progressive leadership made vacant by the death of Senator Robert M..La Follette of Wisconsin. He said, however, he would continue 1o work for Progressive measures. Senator Norris received a letter from the Progressive Political League, Inc., of New Ycrk, under date of June 24, in which the league representa- tives congratulated him upon having agsumed the “leadership of the Pro- ssive party,” and volunteering to send a committee to see him and to work with him. The letter was signed by Warren Shaw Fisher. In his reply to Mr. Fisher Senator Norris said: I have received quite a large num- ber of other letters similar to yours from other sections of the country, in which the writers make the same statement that is made in your let- ter—that is, that I have ‘assumed’ the leadership of the Progressive party. I do not understand how this idea became so prevalent over the country. I have not had access to the daily press and do not know what has been said about it in the papers. In the first place, I wouid consider it: improper for me to ‘assume’ the | leadership of any party or faction.| As you perhaps know, I was not in favor of the organization of a third party and did not join in the move- men! Party Ties Light. “Party tles rest very lightly upon me, and, as I have said, my idea is that one of the greatest evils of government is that so many people tie themselves up to a party, when, as a matter of fact, it seems to me, they ought to be independent of all parties. Under existing conditions I presume parties are necessary, but it is a mistake to regard a party as anything but an instrumentality of government. There is nothing and ought to be nothing sacred about it, and men and women ought not hesi- tate to refuse to support party nomi- nees whenever they believe the men nominated, if elected, would not make g0od public officials. “I expect to work in the future, as 1 have in the past, for those things in Government that I believe to be right, and I will support them, regard- less of whether they originate with Democrats, Republicans, Progressives or men bearing any other party label. 1 have seen so much evil come to the Government and to the people because of the blind adherence to party and party leadership and the foolishness of “'standing by the party.” regardless of what it represents or who leads it, that I have reached the conclusion ‘we ought to eliminate party whenever we can, and I have advocated, for in- stance, in State matters, the eleétion of everybody in the State, from gov- ernor down, on a non-partisan ballot. 1f [ had my way, I would extend the idea to members of the House and Senate in the National Legislature. “I shall be glad to work in unison with any one, regardless of his party affiliations, if he believes in the same progressive principles of Government that I advocate, but I do not want to be associated with any political party as its leader.” DTS TSI DO T DT DA DD DDA <Y Maj.

Sounding a call to the engravers of the Nation to meet the cheaper com- petition of imitation engraving and embossing, A. H. Brewood of Wash- ington, president of Engravographia, an organization of master engravers, told the opening session of the fif- teenth annual convention of the body at the Hotel Washington teday that good engraving cannot be done cheaply. Mr. Brewood said that en- graving craftsmen who show by their skill the merit of the goods they sell must charge a price commensurate with the high quality of the goods sold. He added that advertising has paid dividends to the engraving trade and urged it as a medium for spread- ing business. Much of Mr. Brewood's address dealt with technical subjects of interest to engravers. The more than 250 delegates to the national convention were welcomed to Washington by Joseph M. Hausler, president of the Engravers’ Club of Washington. Mr. Hausler told the delegates that many of them would No. 4 WANTED MORNING, WHILE WAITING FOR THEIR PORRIDGE TO COOL, THE BEARS DECIDED TO TAKE A STROLL THROUGH THE] ST TS OO TSSOSO SO, Little Chats About Your Health No. 5 Next Tuesday SYSTEM OF BRAKES There is universal need for a new system of brakes. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. 4 Newspaper Syndicate note the growth in the city and fts great development In the last decade. Conferences have been held with the Federal Trade Commission and among engravers seeking a name for imitation engraving and embossing, to the end that it might be differen- tiated from the genuine article. The convention was told that a commit- tee which has been in existence for four years has drawn up a pamphlet, soon to be issued, showing the proper- forms of engraving for soclal func- tions. Reports of committees con- cluded the first session of the con- vention, which will meet again this afternoon to receive the report of the cost-finding committee, a tech- nical matter of interest to the trade. The annual banquet of the organiza- tion will be held at the Washington Hotel tonight. _Addresses will be made by Alvin W. Hall, director of the Bureau of Engraving and Print- ing, and John J. Deviny, superintend- ent of work at the bureau. Wives of delegates to the convention today visited the White House and public buildings in Washington. A busy day is planned tomorrow for the convention. After a business meeting in the morning the entire group will go to the Bureau of En- graving and Printing for luncheon, to be followed by a tour of inspection through the Government's big en- graving plant. At 3 oclock the party will visit Mount Vernon and another banquet will be held at the Washington Hotel at night. Officers will be elected at the con- cluding meetings Thursday, with an outing to Great Falls as the con- cluding business of the meeting. China has done more than ‘‘recog- nize" the Soviet.
