PPE1EMTIS Li SOUK MED' He May Have San Francisco T< Convention Indorse Peace Treatv Washington, March 23. (Special) ?Senators who voted for the ratification of the treaty with reservations tic are worried lest the President influ- to ence the San Francisco Convention gr to indorse the pact r.s it come from sU re Versailles, and embarrass them at m home. j to They assert that such action on ljl the part of the president would ex- lic pose them to their enemies. cr Senator King, Utah, has already ' !* launched a campaign in Utah to pre- 7^ vi;nt an endorsement of the treaty as presented by the President. He supports William J. Bryan in his posi- av tion on the treaty, and will join him f)1( in a fight to head off an unquaified \v( An/Jnfeflrriflnf i CllllVSi OVU1VUI. Senators Hitchcock, Robinson, of en Arkansas and other administration dit leaders are ready to stand by the lei treaty without reservations. They gr; will make an effort for the endorse- All mcnt at San Francisco if the Presi- [)fc d"::t wants it done. iiri "I am opposed to putting a plank endorsing the treaty as presented t'> the Senate in the democratic plat- IjU fo'in," said Senator King. "I have l1u written friends in Utah stating my t^1< views and urging them to take this J matter up with those who will rep-|,?? resent the democrats of our state at San Francisco. ^ '"It would be a mistake to make ! the treaty a party issue. If the President attempts to write into the platform an endorsement of the j y treaty, as he submitted it to the senate, without reesrvations, he will have a desperate fight and split the j.r party. Bryan has said that he would j-jj oppose any such proposition. I voted cja for reservationss. Great pressure was (jn brought by friends of the President , to defeat ratification with the reser- ha; vat ions adopted by the senate. That was apparent. Au "There is no question in my mind ] that our party is sharply divided on I.u the treaty. The votes in the senate uv< show that." IjU Senator Simmons, one of those $4( who refused to vote on the treaty th? ratification resolution, as framed by r<ni a majority of the senate under the ] leadership of Senator Liodge, said &al today he had heard senators say Pn they would resist any purpose on the part of the President or his friends to have the San Francisco convention endorse the Versailles treaty as it ? went to the senate. "But," Mr. Simmons added, "June Kn'ntr ?> Hpridpri rhanee. I jxiay ui iub M 0.. think there is strong sentiment in the country for reservations. From lJo' the beginning such a feeling existed in the senate. Early in the consid- ca] eration of the treaty it would have j been possible to crystallize the views ^ of the mild reservation democrats ga as well as republicans, on a compro- ] mise but the opportunity was lost 0f months ago. cit "It would be unwise today to try ] to write in the platform on the of Democratic party an endorsement of ] the treaty in its original forms. Yet 43; the country may demand it by the time the national convention is to II meet. Hi "The people of the country want 111 the treaty ratified, and I am sure they are opposed to the Lodge reservation on article 10. Something between the destructive reservation of fered by the Republican leader and S? the interpretative reservation suggested by the President would meet the approval of the nation."
