Philadelphia, Oct. 17. — Terminj!:!
party regularity “one of the greatest
evils confronting our government,” ■
Nebraska’.s independent Republican
senator, George W. Norris, told a
Pennsylvania audience tonight that.
President Hoover cannot be reelected j
except through the votes of ‘people;

“The modern slogan of political
