At he same time, the Nebraska republican independent served no tice he would begin In the next congress a fight for abolition of the electoral college provision of the constitution f so It would be possible for a man to run Inde pendent of any party In the Unit ed States." . Commenting, on the letter of Dr. John Dewey, head - of the league for independent political aetlon, suggesting that. Norris leave republican ranks and lead a third party movement, the Ne braskan told newspapermen It would be futile to attempt to or ganize another political faction with any hope of success as long V as the electoral college exists. ttjfc "i doubt If we could start out now ana s macu behind third party movement," he said, adding that under the present two-party system nation al conventions "pay little heed to the rank and file." - Untold Sums of Money Hekl to be Needed . - "In order to nominate a man," lie asserted, "for practical pur poses you have got to organise In every congressional district and select candidates for the electoral college.

Senator Norris said if the democrats nominated a real "progressive," many of his group would support him. Discussing at length that he termed the "impracticability" of " organising a third party as long as the electoral college ; system continues. Norris said the "special Interests" seek to control both republican and democratic par ties.

Given Norblad OK Governor Norblad announced yesterday that he would refusa to call a special election to select suc cessors to Senator Lloyd Reynolds and Representative W. Carlton Smith, both of Marion eounty, who died recently. There are now two vacancies In the Marlon county delegation with the ,1931 legisla ture less than three' weeks away, As a result of the governor's announcement the Marlon coun ty delegation probably will meet In Salem within the next 10 days and ' recommend successors to Senator Reynolds and Representa tive Smith.

There may, be some objection to this proposal, however, for the reason that Representative Loner gan of Portland, candidate for speaker of the house, would be deprived of two votes. Both Smith and Mott were said to have pledg ed their support to Lonergan. This objection might be removed, however, if : the appointments were postponed until after the house Is organized. 4 Fatalities in Tacoma Traffic In Short Spell TACOMA, Dec 26.
