LODGE LOSES CONTROL 1 IN TREATY WAR < i Irish Reservation is Adopted by Vote : of 38 to 36?Smith for, Dial Against. j l I; Washington, March IS.?Prtoceed- 1 ing under forced draft to reach a ' final ratification vote on the peace : treaty tomorrow, the senate broke ! from control of the Republican lead- 1 ers today and unexpectedly swept : into the Republican reservation pro- 1 gram a declaration of sympathy for self government in Ireland. I The proposal won out in commit- 1 tee of the whole by a vote of 38 to i 36 after an all day debate. r On a necessary second vote this ] onflAn woo latar t.n SR. I ! a^ViVU nog 9 *v ?? - During the debate Democratic j leaders supported the reservation and ! i the managers on the Republican side J opposed it because it included a gen- : eral declaration that this nation ad- 1 heres to the principle of the. self de- < termination of peoples. On the first 1 roll call 21 Democrats and 17 Republicans, including" the irreconcilable 1 foes of the treaty, voted for the 1 adoption, while 20 Republicans and 1 16 Democrats were recorded in the 1 negative. i Reservations Voted Down. Revival of the Irish question pro- 1 longed into the night the senate's t task of putting into financial form the t resolution of ratification, on which ' it is planned to bring a vote tomor- t row. One after another, a long list I <*f miscellaneous reservations were t voted down with the leaders bent on t completing their task before ad- r * journment. The outcome of the ratification c vote was not generally regarded as f having been influenced by the day's r developments, though a number of I Republicans counted on to vote to t ratify, including Senator Lodge of a Massachusetts, the Republican lead- 1 er, expressed bitter disapproval of v the Irish reservation m its nnai iorm. ; u On all hands the prediction was that! the treaty would fail to receive the ! 1 necessary two-thirds, though ~ome ! senators thought that on a second j roll cali, which probably will be i I taken before the attempt to ratify is given up enough Democrats to put it through would join its majority. Irish Reservation. The text of the Irish reservation as t introduced by Senator Gerry, Demo- c crat, of Rhode Island and adopted a by the senate, follows: i "In consenting to the ratification r of the treaty with Germany, the j United States adheres to the principle ; i of self determination and to the resolution of sympathy with the aspira- \ tions of the Irish people for a gov- t ernment of their own choice, adopted i by the senate June 6, 1919, and de- s clares that when such government is ] attained by Ireland, a consummation ] it is hoped is at hand, it should < promptly be admitted as a member i of the league of nations. 1 Southern senators stood as follows i on the Gerry reservation: ] For adoption: 1 Democrats?Harris of Georgia, Harrison of Mississipi, McKellar of Tennessee, Ransdell of Louisiana, Shields of Tennessee, Smith of South < Carolina. < Dial Against Plan. j 1 Democrats?Dial of South Caro-1 j lina, Fletcher of Florida, Gay of j s Trmisijina.

After the Irish reservation finally t had been approver, Senator Sim- r mons, Democrat, cf North Carolina p made a last minute fight to secure i a change in the Republican reserva- c tion to Article 10, but his substr t tute providing thai the United States s would use its "friendly ollices" to j help preserve territorial integrity and 1 political independence was tabled by t . a vote of 45 to 34. i All supporters of the Simmons 1 substitute were Democrats, and five j y Democrats, Gore of Oklahoma, Reed of Missouri, Sh;elds of Tennessee, Walsh, of Massachusetts and Wil-. '< liams of Mississippi, voted with the j Republicans to table the proposal. 1 Senator Ledge said the Simmons : substitute -was "vitally defective" in 1 that it barred the use of American ; military forces only under Article 10, 1 while the Lodge reservation denied their use for any purpose under any : clause of the treaty without express ; approval of congress. i Reaches High Pitch. i . ?bate on the Gerry reservation'1 Teached a high pitch of bitterness ] witii many charges of political manip- < ulation and bad faith. Republican ] leaders tried repeatedly to modify or 1 strike out the general declaration of ' adherence to the doctrine of self de- j termination. , Senator Lodge declared that such a policy had a "touch of hypocrisy" < "when put forward by a nation which i had fought f->r four ye^rs to hr.*! < the r >u h in the ur'v gainst irs i ! i reservation i;s "an underiia.id at- \ :ack" connived at by Senator Hitch:ock, the Democratic leader, to defeat the treaty. Among the Democrats, Senators VValcott, of Delaware ar.d Trammell of Florida assailed the proposal TC on off f rlrrxr infn ihe treaty fi^ht, while Senator Borah, Republican of Idaho, leader of the irreconcilables, declared the of fort of Senator Lodge to amend the self determination feature was a political move which it was hard to find words to describe. Republicans Work in Vain. The first roll call on the reservation came while the senate was working in committee of the whole and tvhen the result was seen Republican leaders tried in vain to stave off the second vote until tomorrow. They ran into a whirlwind of objections among the reservation's friends. Sen ator Ashurst, Democrat, of Arizona, stirring the galleries to applause when he concludi a plea against delay by declaring the country was tired of the treaty debate. Under Senate rules, all the reservations had to be acted on again ivhen the treaty was reported out of :he committee of the whole, and in :he end all of them were approved vithout change. Senator Simmons, Democrat, of tforth Carolina made a final attempt ;o get a modification in the reservaion to Article 10, but his substitute vas laid on the table, 45 to 34, Sena;or Lodge serving notice that the ast change in that reservation had >een made and that he had reached' he parting of the ways on compronise negotiations. An attempt to secure unanimous onsent that a vote be taken on ratiication of the peace treaty tomorrow, was blocked by Senator Lenroot, Republican, of Wisconsin, leader of he mild reservationists, and the sen,te adjourned after 11 p. m. Most eaders predicted that a final vote rould be reached late tomorrow light.

The next step planned by the senate majority is a declaration of a state of peace to relieve the nation of :he war status which the Democrats maintain can be ended only by the treaty's ratification. A fight on that proposal probably will begin when the senate reconvenes Monday. The roll call on ratification came four months, almost to the hour, after the failure of three attempts at ratification on November 19.

From the Democratic side several senators bitterly assailed the president for his stand and declared the administration could not afford to carry the issue as it presented itself today in the cam paign. There was no reply from those i who opposed ratification. Irrencon-I cilables and administration Democrats alike remained silent in the confidence that they were in complete control of the situation. After the roll call the mild reservation Republicans joined with the Democrats to set the parliamentary stage for a reconsideration that would permit another vote on ratification, but the effort soon was abandoned. Compromise Democrats advised the _ Republicans that they thoueht it futile to try to change J seven more Democrat votes. The j motion to reconsider, made by Sena- j tor Robinson, Democrat, of Arkansas j finally was thrown out on a point of j order and an appeal was taken. ??i I HOOVER BOOM IS DOUBLE BARRELED j Something Unprecedented in the j History of American Politics. ! The News and Courier. Washington. March 19.?Watchers ; upon the political towers have been ; trying hard for some months toj make up their minds which way the j Hoover cohorts are moving. Mr. Hoover himself has been a1 puzzle to the politicians in his per- j sonal outgivings. Indeed, he has in j this respect puzzled a great many who are not politicians. It has been the general assumption that the former food controller's chances of nomination are practically confined to the Democratic^ party; and yet he takes pains to I make the remark that he is a pro-! gressive Republican thereby embar-t rassing some oi nis warmest, ucmvcratic admirers. Besides, what does Mr. Hoover mean by saying that he must see what the platforms of the parties contain before committing himself as to the current campaign? Surely he should know, say the hard shelled politicians, that our American parties nominate their candidates first and choose their platforms afterwards. If a man waits to see the platform, he can not be nominated; the nomination will already have been made. This is veritable "kin dergarten stun*' in pontics. After Both Big Prizes. Nevertheless, the Hoover boom goes merrily on, and the old time politicians in the Democratic partyare afraid of it in much the same way the old liners in the Republican camp fear the advance of the Wood boom. It is a fact that Wood is the best advertised of the avowed Republican candidates for the nomina" ' h I j. tion, and possioiy xne Dest poimcai organizer among them. Hoover is the best advertised individual in the world today, who is not avowedly in politics, and his reputation as an organizer needs no descrption. The fact is not generally realized, and of course can not be "officially confirmed," that the Hoover presidential boom is a double barreled affair, aiming at both of the great national conventions. The managers of this boom, whoever they be, are rather obviously planning to capture nnp nomination if thev miss the' other. Less obviously they are also contemplating the possibility of capturing both conventions and making the election "unanimous." Very few of the political on lookers believe that it is possible to! bring down both of these big birds with the same gun, yet the very audacity of the idea challenges interest. and audacity is an important fartor in politics. The Hoover camua:?.*:i seems to be predicated upon : principle thn* there is nothing in u: less the public develops such a -cri^ fo-r Hoover's nomination *. r. riolJtlr-ians can not T.;h a senti. i-1 ? v* r;r>t A It may not bd sound, but there it is. Two Chances at Any Rate. Mr. Hoover's published utterances, i while emphasizing the averment that j he is in no sense a candidate for the j presidential nomination, put him first i in line for the first of the two big i party conventions to consider. He i says that he has been a progressive ! Republican. The Republican party i- - i J :J._ A; i .. ~ _ A : 1 win noiu us uiiuuiiui ?.:uiivciitiuii several weeks before the Democrats hold j theirs. Hoover's name will certainly 1 go before the Republican convention, j in fact, a few delegates have already j been instructed for him. At this time, the avowed Republi-1 can candidate who is making the j best progress in the race for the nom- j ination is unquestionably Gen. Leon- j ard Wood. The general's recent feat! of carrying by a big majority the presidential primaries against Gover-1 nor Lowden of Illinois in Lowden's j native and neighboring state of Min-' nesota, where the Lowdenites fully - A -1 1- I expected to win, was a great snoctt to the old guard. They were also shocked, if in lesser degree, by the fact that their favorite, Lowden, was heavily outrun in the Minnesota primary even by Hoover, whose name did not appear on the ballot and had to be pasted or written thereon by the voters. If Wood should be nominated by the Republicans at Chicago, then the managers of the Hoover boom would proceed, in the most intensive manner of which they might be capable, to play up their man as the best candidate for the Democrats to put in the field against the general. It would then, perhaps, be demonstrable that the Republican platform did not suit Afr Hrrnvnr. The former food con troller would be touted as the personification of civilian business ability as opposed to a military candidate inexperienced outside of the uniform. Hoover would be urged as a candidate who would satisfy the sentiment against militarism, while not panderinor of oil frk Alii^ U W ????
