ratification OF PEACE PACT
LOOMS AS LEADING FACTOR IN
1920 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
Should Senate Fail to Raty Treaty Before Fight Gets Under
Way Next Year President May Be Forced to Take Stump
Support Of League Of Nations-Btter Contest Expected
in Next Session of Congress-

Washington, d. c., Nov. 21.-Ratif-
cation Of the peace treaty appeared to-
day to be shaping itself into the big
issue of the 1920 presidential election.
Many prominent men of both parties
here look for a finish fight before the
country with the voters deciding
whether the United States shall enter
the league of nations and If SO with
what reservations. In this struggle
party lines may be broken down.
Should the senate fail to ratify before
the 1920 fight gets under way, there will
be clear cut issue with President Will
son possibly again forced to take the
stump in support Of the treaty, 1t was
predicted.
THROWS DOWN GAUNTLET.
President Wilson threw down the
gauntlet when he wrote to Senator
Hitchcock on the eve of the vote that
the Lodge resolutions would nullify
the treaty. This charge. according to
Republican senators today, forced the
entire majority party to rally around
Lodge. This is the explanation Of the
unbroken front which Lodge put up
during the battle in the hnal hours of
the session. It was known that mild
reservationists'' on the Republican side
were ready to support Hitchcock in
certain compromise proposals but when
the president attacked Lodge all the
Republicans resolved to stick with their
leader although in some previous stages
of the fight they had opposed him.
Indications today were that bitter
contest will start when the treaty
comes up again, it is said. By its ac-
ton in refusing to ratify the senate
wiped the slate clean and will have to
begin all over again. The treaty will
go to the foreign relations committee
first. The crucial struggle will come
within the tcommittee this time, ac-
| cording to present plans. The treaty
will not be reported out until reser-
vations have been agreed upon which
will meet the approval of two-thirds of
the senate. Proceedings on the senate
floor will be cut and dried. 1t is ex-
pected within the committee, Repub-
| licans of the Johnson Borah M oses
Knox group will try to shelve the pact
The real issue at the polls, according
, to the outlook today, will be whether
the treaty is to be reported out of the
: committee or permitted to lie here for
ever. Candidates will stand for one OF
! the other of these courses. it was pre-
Quoted and the people must decide

LODGES HOPES
Believed Concurrent Resolution
Which Declares War at an

President.

Washington, Nov. 21.-The Lodge
concurrent resolution which declares
the war at an end can and will be
vetoed by President Wilson in case it
is passed by both house and senate, In
the opinion of high administration Of
ficials today. They cited the consti-
tuition to prove that the president has
this power.
1t was evidently a surprise to sup
porters Of the Lodge resolution which
was introduced in congress Just be-
fore adjournment. They believed the
executive had no authority to inter-
fere with a concurrent resolution and
that the Lodge measure could be
passed by both houses, thus ending the
war without adoption OF the peace
treaty. Discovery of the constitution =
al authority which hitherto has sell

thority. 1t reads as follows:
