MY Dear Senator:
You were good enough to bring
me word that the Dem ocratic SEN
ators supporting the treaty expected
to hold a conference before the
final vote on the Lodge resolution
of ratifca ton and that they would
be glad To receive word of scun-
sci from me.
~ should hesitate tn offer II in
any detail, hut I assume that the
senators only desire my Judgment
upon the a!I-im uortant question of
the finai vote ON the resolution con-
tanning the many reservations Of
Senator Lodge ON that | cannot
hesitate for in my opinion the res
olution in that fern does not pro-
vide for ratification hut rather for
the nnlliflcatiou of The treaty.
II sincerely hope that the friends
and supporters of the treaty will
vote against the Lodge resolution
of ratification.
# understand that the door will
probably then be open for a gen
uine resolution of ratification,
II trust that all true friends Of
the treaty will refuse to support
the Lodge resolution
Cordially and sincerely YOURS.

citedly for that box of brand new
shells, fill pump, automatic, double

dawn hurtling flock of mallards or

by the red flash and the din accom-
panying the discharge of countless
firearms ushering in the opening of
the 1919 hunting season.
The hunting season for wild ducks,
geese, coots, Wilson snipe, gallinules,
rails and yellow-legs opens on Sep

November 80. Hunters may take tif-
teen: wild ducks, coots, snipe, galli-

geese in one day and may have in
possession, forty-five migratory wat
