FOR PEACE TRIP
Sherman Offers Resolution Declarino.
Vacant President's Office and Ap
pointing Vice-President Deplores
Worldly Influences Upon Wilson
and Dreads Kiss of Woman.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. Senator
Sherman of Illinois, republican, In
troduced today his resolution propos
ing that tno office of president be
declared vacant upon Prosldont Wil
son's departure for Kurope, and that
tho vlce-prcsldont assume the execu
tive's dutios. Ho was given unanim
ous consent for an address criticising
tho president's course
Tho president's trip to attend the
peace conference, Senator Sherman
said, was without justification and
"Insidious mischief nilRht reBult."
Ho Insisted that tho president's de
parture would "suspoud tho legisla
tive power of the governmont during
his absonce," because whllo congress
can pass bills they cannot be signed
or vetoed In accordance with law,
- .. (ii-ayo Monaco -
8onutor- Sherman v argued that
since under the law congress estab
lished Washington as. the scat of
governmont "federal sovereignty re
sides at this point and It cannot be
transferred to any other point except
by act of congress." lie added that
becauso of tho importance of pend
ing questions and "the dangers now
on our Mexican border" the presi
dent's absenco might result In grave
monuco.
Senator Sliorman doplored the In
fluences of tho world with which tho
president would conio In contact and
doclarod when he reached Europe,
"the whole Amorlcan atmosphere
that ouglit to surround tho president
Is lost."
Tho offocts of such Influences, ho
suld, often have bocn felt by nations.
"A kiss of a sensuous woman,"
said Senator Sherman, "has boon
known to cbango the history of na
tions." Keep TemptaUon Away
"Wo ought not to put him In temp
tation," he added aftar a pause.
while senators and spectators In the
galleries laughed.
Senator Sherman contended that
tho ordinary functions of the presi
dent's office cannot bo porforincd
whllo ho Is abroad.
"Sovorolgnty Is not of a migratory
eharactor," ho said. "Tho president
of the United States Is not tho presi
dent In a foreign land, ho is an alien,
shorn of all his sovorelgn powers. He
has no power of his own volition to
transfer tho scat of government to
an alien country."
Referring to tho resolution of Rep
resentative Hodonburg of Illinois, in.
troducod In tho house yesterday cull
ing upon tho vteo-prosldeut to as-
sumo tho office of president, Senator
Sherman said his own resolution
goes further and declares tho presi
dent's office vacant. The vlce-presl-
dont, thoroforo, ho argued, " would
couse to bo tho senate's presiding of
ficer and would bocomo prosldont "In
fact until anothor Is elcctod In 1920"
Senator Williams of Mississippi
roplted to Senator Sliorman, ridicul
ing itho hitter's arguments and re
ferring to visits of former Presi
dents lloosevolt to Panama nnd Taft
to Mexico and Canada. At thnt time
