OPPOSITION To
TREATY MAKES
new CONVERTS


WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-Admin-
istration hopes that President vii.
sons middle western speeches would
swing wayering senators into line
for the peace treaty, received a severe
jolt when Senator Spencer of Mis-

seTvationist and told the senate the
league covenant as drafted in Paris
ought to be rejected
Whether Senator Spencer's vigor-
Gus speech was the result or a CO.
incidence OF the presidents two ad-
dresses in Missouri was not made
clear but the senator told his col
leagues within the last few days he
was convinced his constituents were
overwhelmingly opposed to the GOV.

sented to the senate.
Survey Of the situation in the SEN
ate today revealed the fact that the

done nothing but solidify and in
tensify the opposition to the treaty
