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. Smith of Georeria. Swan-! i
son of Virginia, Trammell of Flor-!?
ida, Underwood of Alabama, Wil- t
liams of Mississippi, Glass of Vir- \
ginia and Simmons and Overman of r
North Carolina.
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.
'REATY RATIFICATION IS

lotification that it had finally "re'used

20 Democrats who were unwilling to

Republican reservations objected to
by the president, and three Democrats
and 12 Republican irreconcilables.
Twenty-one Democrats quit
the president's lead and voted for
ratification, but the defection failed
by seven votes of providing the twothirds
requisite to ratify.
Pushed Into 1920 Campaign.
The result was regarded everywhere
in the capital as having put
jver into the political campaign for
iecision the long and bitter fight berween
the chief executive and the
senate majority. A move to reconf

atify collapsed in its inception, leadirs
on both sides agreeing that fur;her
ratification efforts would be a
vaste of time as long as the senate
nembership remains as it is.
Whether the president would reurn
the treaty to the senate renamed
undertermined, but the Re>ublicans'served
notice that if he did
t would repose for many weeks to
ome in a committee pigeon hole. In
he vote of 47 to 37, by which the
;enate washed its hands of the subect
and sent the treaty to the White
louse, the Republican leaders had
;he support of the mild reservationsts
as well as the irreconcilables of
:heir party while the Democrats
/oted almost solidly in opposition.
May Declare State of Peace.
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. On that
occasion the greatest strength developed
for ratification with the Republican
reservations was 41 votes,

In seven hours of debate preceding
the vote Republican leaders de-i
clared themselves ready to take the'
issue to the people. 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
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

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

So. this is the phenomenon the j
"regulars" in Amcricrr. r-oVtles have j
to contemplate. though the phenome- j
non at this time may be just *merg- j
in?- from the nebulous state: a power- f
fully propelled and formidable move- :
ment to capture the Republican pres- i
idential nomination for Herbert !
Hoover if possible, then to annex the '
Democratic presidential nomination j
also for Hoover if possible or to cap-'
ture the Democratic nomination for ;
Hoover failing: the Republican. One !
chance for both nominations and two |
chances for one nomination.
