TREATY IN DANGER
DEMOCRATS HOPE TO DEFEAT
PANAMA MEASURE AND HIT
ADMINISTRATION.

Washington, D. c.. Dec. 81. - To de-
feat the Panama treaty and thus
record a vote of want of confidence in
the Roosevelt administration--this is
the aim of Senator German, Senator
Morgan, Senator Daniel and other
democrats who are leading the as
sault on the recognition of the new re-
public.
Treaty in Danger.
The treaty is in danger. There can
be no doubt about this. 1t is gleefully
affirmed by the democrats and assent
ed to even by the most outspoken
friends of the administration in the
senate. But before its defeat can be
accomplished much progress must be
made in the direction of obtaining DEM
ocratic unity. The minority leaders
are bending every nerve to marshal
their entire vote against the treaty. If
they do that they can prevent rati-
fication at this session of congress
or amend the treaty in such way
that it would have to be sent back to
Panams or voted down in straight
out contest, according to the plan Of
action which may be determined.
The Outlook.
The senate is divided into fifty-sev-
en- republicans and thirty-three dem
ocrats. The democrats include Teller
and Dubois, who formerly were repub-
licans and until the last congress were
classed as fusionists or free silverites
but who were always found voting with
the democrats. They have now gone
into the democratic caucus and are
bound by the decisions of that body.
The situation in the senate in nut
shell is as follows:
