Treaty To Be Chief Issue.

Throughout the closing hours of the
terrific debate over the pact in the
Senate, there were evidences that both
sides were not un mindful OF the fact
that the treaty might ultimately be-
come the main point in dispute DUR
ing the coming nat onal elections
both parties stand as one on what
might otherwise have been the divid-
ing line-anti-radicalis and indus

Senator Lodge, in statement just

There is no room for further COM

Furthermore, he directly stated that
All l ask now Is that we nay have

tions before the American people"
and admits that he desires to carry

is feared that he Is not a sufficiently
national figure to warrant giving him
the leadership in this particular con-
test.
General Wood is big favorite In
the lists, but he, of course. had moth
ing to do with the fight against the
treaty and those who insist that the
treaty will be the big issue next year
say that one who fought against the
pact stands the best chance of win

to loom biggest. He Is Westerner.

anti-leaguer.

Much the same argument is put
forth for and against the various
Democratic possibilities. If the fight
is to be made on the issues connected
with the treaty and the League II
Nations both Attorney General Pal
mer. and former Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo might have to YIELD
before Senator Hitchcock Of Nebras-
ka, Administration leader in the fiSht
for the ratification of the treaty.
To another set Of politicians mere,
however, ii is not at all a foregeEe
"onclusion that the treaty will

campaign. Many of the leaders on
both sides depiore such an outcome
and between now and the opening "f
Congress December /. will leave no
poss.b BILE thing undone to bring about
some sort of compromise whereby the
treaty can be ratified and definitely
laid by in the records, leaving tho
road open to other. and more truly
domestic questions. Many still p O.
fess. to believe that this not only
can, but will be done, and that the
first week of the new session OF Con-
gress may very well see the at.fica- =
tion of the pact
Those who take this view declare
the treaty would not only serve to
obscure the real problems whi h
ought to come before the voters oi
the country. but to limit the field
of possible Presidential candidates TO
comparative few as well.

Congressman Davis Of Tennessee,
which was made public yesterday.
Rebels Undisturbed.
One paragraph. however, describes
conditions In and near Puebla, the
second largest city In Mexico. and
only a short distance from the capital
Of the country. 1t Is as follows:
THE rebels are only a few miles
distant, they have been there for
months and years, they plant, culti-
sate and gather their crops entirely
is with them, and yet the government
apparently makes no effort to drive
them away and give decent protection
to this city.

ty Of this city not less than a half
tozen bands of rebels, all well known
% the government No determined
effort has ever been made to fight
hem. This is the situation as 1t Is
today in this city"

able his lot has been up to November
., the date on which II was written,
and likewise revealed that the band
its who were led by FREDERICK Cor

for ransom the British vice consul,
William Hardaker in PuebIa. Luckily

Five of jenkins friends responded
with their lives for the payment OF
the balance OF the ransom money
somewhat over 200 900 pesos Further
payments have brought the balance
down to about 100 900 pesos.
TT is my intention to make ar
rangements as best / can for the i'm
mediate payment of all the balance
due, and recover the document ex-
tended to Cordoba. thus releasing my
friends from the great responsibility
they have assumed.
81 feel absolutely certain that any
failure to comply with the obliga-
tions of the document would result
in the Immediate death of these
friends and myself, as it is well
known that the rebels can with all
ease perpetrate Almost any crime thai

While the case OF Jenkins is Illus
trative of the treatment given an
American citizen in Mexico. 1t by no
means typifies the rigorous and brutal
methods more often used by Mexican
desperadocs. Death is usually the
case for an American.
The Jenkins case is, however. a cul-
minating one. and for this reason.
providing Carranza fails to release
him and make suitable amends, the
United States may be compelled to
resort to Intervention.
