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

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." I
