Borasl or johnson.
Political gossip has named Senators
BOrah and Hiram johnson as posi-
bilities for the regular Republican
nomination in 1920. Both are pro-
gressives, leaders of the little group in
the senate which holds the balance of
power in organizing that body for the
next session.
THE progressive meeting will dis
prove for all time the charge that
jealousy of each other exists in the
progressive ranks" said Kenyon to-
day.
''1t will be shown that any one of the
progressive leaders is ready and will
ing to submerge his personal hopes
and ambitions in the common good.
There is not one of US but would step
choice of that other will serve better
the cause of progress and human well

One effect of the Forthcoming meet
ing, progressives indicated, will be the
unification of the senate progressives
for their fight for representation in
the coming sessions organization.

There has BEEN absolutely no retreat

Borah declared today.

WEATHER IN MARCH
What You May Expect. According
to Records of Past Years.

Spring begins officially this year at
1919 a. m. March 21, when the sun is
exactly over the equator, and a study
of the records kept by the weather
bureau in Topeka for the last thirty
two years shows that while the eQui-
noctial storm is a product of an over
heated imagination there is liable to
be more of a variety of weather in
March than any other month of the
year.
The normal temperature of the
month, Il degrees. is IL degrees high
er than the normal for February and
13 degrees lower than the April nCr-
nal, but March is notorious for not
living up to its past record except that
it is always abnormal. There has
been one year at Topeka. 1906, when
March averaged colder than the Feb
ruary preceding and two years 1907
and 1910, when it was warmer than
the April following. The temperature
has reached 30 degrees or higher at
Topeka in three different Marches,
the highest ever recorded being SO de-
grees on the, 22d of the month in 1907,
but has fallen to zero only once, on
March 4, 1891.
In only one way does March fail to
be as bad as its reputation and that
is that while it is commonly consid-
cred to be a windy, blustery month, it
is really not SO windy as April.
Rain and snowfall in March are as
variable as its temperatures. The nor
NAL amount is 2.29 inches, but in 1905
there were AIS inches and 1910 only
0.06 inch. Several Marches in the
past 80 years have been SO warm and
balmy there was. no snow at all. but in
1912 there was 26.2 inches, which is
one of the heaviest monthly amounts
Topeka has known in any month.
Snow generally melts rapidly this time
of the year but in 1912 it lay on the
ground for twenty days and there was
practically no spring work of any kind
The most favorable kind of a March

weather is continually cool and wet

Paris, Feb. 2S.-There is no longer
any question of going on with the

one of the French delegates to the

Hitchcock and Lodge in a Tilt
in the Senate.
Foreign Relations Committee
Head Is for the Plan.
LODGE MAKES LONG SPEECH
Believes That 1t Will Engender
Strife and Trouble.
Says Compact Should Be Made
Only After Peace.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Sharp differ
ences of opinion over the league of
nations constitution were voiced in the
senate today by Chairman Hitchcock
of the foreign relations committee and
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,, who
will be chairman of the committee in
the next congress when the Republi-
cans take control After Senator Lodge
had delivered prepared speech be-
fore crowded floor ana galleries, warn
ing the American people to weigh the
constitution and insist upon revision,
Mr.. Hitchcock took the floor and an
nounced as preposterous the Massa-
chusettS senators s suggestion that the
league would deprive the United States
of its right of self-defense.
Il desire" said Mr.. Hitchcock, ''to
repudiate the suggestion that the
league would in the slightest degree
limit the privilege and the duty of any
nation, the United States or any other,
to defend itself when attacked. and to
protect its territory and rights when
invaded either by a member of the
league or not"
Senator Lodge replied that he took
that view, while the committee chair
man was entitled to an honest differ
ence of opinion. The conflict, Senator
Lodge declared, illustrated and en-
phasiZed necessity for redrafting the
league charter to make dispute of con-
struction impossible.
Lets have it stated in the contract
Just what it means" said Senator
Lodge
When war starts replied Senator
Hitchcock, the right of self defense
supersedes everything else and the
senator knows it."
Speaking in the senate, Republican
Leader Lodge declared his convic-
tion that instead of safeguarding the
peace of the world, the league as now
planned would engender misunder-
standings and strife
Delivering his first public utterance
on the subject since the constitution
became public, the Massa achusetts
senator vigorously opposed the plan
and made specific recommendations
for amendment. He declared that as
now drafted, the constitution would
contravene the Monroe doctrine, strike
at American sovereignty, involve
America in all foreign disputes. substi-
tute internationalism for nationalism
and be of benefit principally to Eu-
rope.
Could Be Nation Union.
Expressing complete sympathy with
the popular demand and efforts to-
ward an agreement for world peace.
| Senator Lodge said he was not pre-
| pared to say that there could not be
| a concert of the nations to safeguard
against war, but he insisted that the
| agreement for such concert should
! be drawn up calmly and deliberately

French Deputy Urges Total DemobiE-

Paris, Feb. 2S.-Thursday, Feb. 27.
Total disarmament of Germany as
a guarantee against future German
aegressions, is urged by Deputy
Renaudel, in a letter he has sent to
the heads of the parliamentary groups
of the Chamber of Deputies. He
writes:
I'VE wish an assured peace. not an
armed peace. Do you think it would
be useful, as soon as possible to con-
slider a protest to the allies that the
French parliament will refuse to ratify
any peace treaty which limits arma
ments and does not include disarma-
ment?"
