sion, having convened during his absence
and received his message by wire--two more
presidents, in the smashing Of which his adj
ministration has been notable, gone by the
board. His return will find sentiment to-
ward the peace treaty rapidly crystallizing,
and if present indications may be accepted,
the disqualification will be largely along party
lines. 1t seems impossible for the American
mind to rise completely beyond partisan bias,
even on this paramount issue, and coming
months are likely TO the Senate a vcri-
table storm center.
But party feeling will hardly so to the
extent OF defeating the treaty or subjecting

been accomplished in Paris, he will take his
cause before the country and make it. so over
Whelmlng that opposition carried TO the ca
IRENE of endangerng the treaty would con-
stitute political suicide for those father

Republican Senators, many Of them at
least, are going to oppose the treaty IN !ts

OF political necessity. Their opposition to
the covenant Of the league Of nations was
largely for political effect, and a few minor
changes suggested by them and accepted by
Americas representatives at Paris enabled
them TO yield their gracious approval So II
