be almost unanimous on the final roll cal.
This is assured by the acceptance oil the
sullivan resolution, or something similar
TO IL. by the lrlents OF the treaty. me
sullivan resolution really means hothlhs'
ana Is merely device 10 let certain On
ators down easily ana enable them 10 vote
for the Treaty without any sacrtlca OF
| dignity. REASONABLY, am opposed 10
| granting even TINS empty concession, as
do not think that II is necessary. Bat the
men who nave the Treaty IN charge nave
decided TO accept the sullivan resolution.
or something similar to it, IN the interest
OF harmony and the dispatch or business.
~ t, ,,d ~, is a.,
e,red The adontion NJ The sullivan reso-
luton will be absolutely without signif-
| canoe. and will not embarrass or hamper
! the Administration in any way. The rati-
| fication Of the Treaty, l think. will render
| an extra session of the Ffty-sixth Goa
| gress unnecessary. All of the other ur-
| gent matters. including the army reorganl-
cation bill, will be disposed of before
March 1. In my opinion. there viii be no
occasion for the President to call an extra
| session.

Wisconsin in the Senate on March 4 saws
that the new Senator will be n real ac-
QUESTION to the Senate. "Quarles" said Mr..
! Timme yesterday, will take rank with
the foremost orators of the Senate He
is not millionaire as has been reported:
neither is he a creature of CORPORATIONS
His election is a tribute to his personal
popularity. Mr. Quarles is a man of the
people There are no frills about him
He does not put on airs He taught school
TO go to the Michigan University at Ann
Arbor He was a student at Ann Arbor
when the war broke out He dropped his
studies and offered his services to the
Government He was made a lieutenant
of a Wisconsin regiment and was SUBJ
sequently promoted to a caDtaincy. After
the war he returned 10 Ann Arbor and
finished his education He also took a law
course. Returning to Kenosha. his ma
tive place, he formed partnership with
Orson S. Head who was one of the Lead
ing lawyers of the State. Mr.. Quarles has
been district attorney, mayor, assembly
man, and State senator. In great many
respects he resembles the late Matt Car
penter."
