AS a lifelong Republican | want to
express my disgust at your antics in
the senate. In the last election |
fought as | never fought before to
create a Republican congress to get
rid of Kitchin and Others like him
only to find that ] have been instru
mental in saddling on the country A
coterie as distasteful to me as Kitchin
was. More than that no man can say,
Il venture to say that the congress
never held a lower place in the esteem
or the country than since II reac-
tionary Republican forces got into
power.
The New York Times is to be com
plmented in its attack upon you. The
only misfortune is that it dignifies your
action on the league of nations by the
attention 1t .devotes to it at the risk
OF making a martyr of you"
1t is the belief of thoughtful and OBJ
servant people that such protests as
the foregoing foreshadows open rebel
lion on he part of a great many Re
publicans who believe it their patriotic
duty to stand behind and give en-
couraging and sustaining support to the
president and his associates who are
negotiating peace measures and formu-
lating a plan to maintain perpetual
peace throughout the world"

sporadic in nature.

taken to stop the spread of disease,

There are rumblings of discomfort

senate toward the peace negotiations.
1t is now clear to every one that the
controlling element In the senate has
determined to oppose whatever treaty

make the treaty and league covenant
a party issue, combating whatever
may be done by this governments rep
resentatives In Europe.
A great many Republicans resent this
