SENATOR MASSEY
DESERVES ELECTION

The responsibility of high office,
such as United States Senator, far
outweighs the honor conferred upon
the individual in his selection there.
for; this is the view of the citizen, the
maker of public officials.
Too often the representative of the
people fails to grasp this correct view,
in which case he signals his failure
from the moment it becomes apparent
to his constituents that he feels an
honor has been conferred upon the
people by his selection
The brief but effective service of
Hon. w. A. Massey as our representa-.
tive at Washington has been O. a ma
ture to convince us he is eminently
qualified for the position: but we are
strikingly convinced that he realizes
he is our representative in the fullest
sense of the word; by his remarkable
tact and aggressiveness Senator Mas
sey Immediately forced himself into
position to command the attention and
respect of the Senate, which is the
essential to actual accomplishment in
that legislative body. In so doing he
upset one of the oldest traditions of
that august assemblage, and compell-
ed his associates to stand aghast at
the picture of a new member actually
being something more than spectator
for his first session.
Senator Massey has already receiv-
ed the seal of approval from his asso.
ciates in Congress- he goes before the
people of Nevada for a like approval.
Should he fail to receive the endorse
ment of the majority vote in Novem-
Der, the electors of this state will ex.
hibit woeful lack of appreciation of
real ability, combined with an ac-
knowledged ambition on the part of
this man to actually serve his con-
stituents.
For one, the Mason Valley News re-
CARDS the reelection of Senator Mas
sey as imperative to the good of the
state. There is absolutely no doubt
that the entire citizenship of Nevada
recognizes him as the most worthy, as
well as the most servieeable candidate
for the office, and should he by any
chance fail to be returned to Washing
ton it will be due solely to the pres
ent deplorable condition of political
affairs in the state.
Senator Massey cannot fail to be
the choice in November except by rea-
son of the split in the ranks OF his
party, for which he is in no manner re-
sponsible. He is undoubtedly the ma
iority choice of the Nevada voters to-
day. and the News cannot but believe
the element that now threatens the
election by plurality of an opponent of
Senator Massey will utterly fail in its
purpose; there are signs that the vot-
ers are not going to be led astray on
this point, and the nearer we approach
the day of voting the stronger Sen
ator Massey appears as candidate

Object to Lodges
Treaty Compromise

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-THE Lodge
amendment TO the resolution for ratifica-
tion OF the arbitration treaties with Great
Britain and France has stirred unex-
pected opposition from democratic sena-
tors. II is favored by three-fourths OF
the republican senator's. who accept II as
a happy compromise OF all differences.
The amendment, presented at the for
eign relations committee meeting yester-
day, was introduced by Mr.. Lodge in
executive session OF the senate today.
Before the Lodeg modification was sug-
gested seven or eight democratic senator's
had indicated a willingness TO support
the treaties some without amendment
and others with amendment, which would
reserve from arbitration all questions In
yolving strictly American subjects. These
democrats today>took the position that
the Lodge amendment conflicted with the
treaties themselves. Consequently, these
senators object to it as a practical nulli-
fication of the treaties vital parts.
The last claus Of article OF the
treaties provides for final determination
OF lne Jusllcldpliits VI aSAiohS W eh0 1N'i'N
high commission. These other democratic
senators who desire the treaties amended
contended today that course preferable
to the Lodge amendment would be to
omit entirely the last clause of article
8 as originally was suggested by the ma
jority Of the foreign relations committee
Their argument was that the effect Of the
acceptance OF the amendment would be
to restore all the senate's prerogatives Of
ratification and confirmation.
The republican senators are not strong
enough 10 put through the treaties with
out considerable democratic assistance,
and some concern was expressed as to
the attitude Of democratic senators who
heretofore have been classed as friendly
to the treaties.
