VACANCY
MAY AFFECT TREATIES
Failure to Elect a Senator
Likely to Prove Stumbling
Block

Washington. March 27.-As result Of
the failure of the Delaware Legislature
to elect a Senator. the membership Of the
United States Senate for the next two
years will be 50. OF these 81 are Repubn-
cans and 80 Democrats. There are just
as many Republicans as there were in
the late Congress and one less Democrat.
Had the faction-split Republicans Of Del
aware elected a Senator the Republican
strength would have been one greater
and the Republican majority two instead
of one greater than in the late Congress-
The failure to elect a Senator from
Delaware while not affecting ordinary
legislation seriously because only a ma
jority is required for its passage, may
prove a stumbling block to pending treat-
/ les and perhaps develop such a situation
as that which now troubles the President
because of the loss of PRESTIGE due to the
failure Of the santo Domingo treaty for
treaties often fail for want Of one vote
and Democratic votes for Republican
treaties are hard to get.
