SENATE REJECTS
PEACE TREATY
Continued from page i.)

meet Monday. ..,
Third Term on Treaty Issue.
by Hugh Baillie, United Press Staff
Correspondent
WASHINGTON, March 20. - II
President Wilson is to run for third
term on the issue Of treaty ratifica
tion,. now is the psychological time
for him to make it known, in the
opinion today OF close political OBJ
servers in Washington.
The white house is being anxiously
watched by democratic party leaders
for some indication of what the
president will do, now that the sen.
ate has returned the treaty to him.
Officials Of the party organization
privately profess to believe there is
no chance of Wilson becoming a
candidate on a ratification platform.
But it is considered significant that
no definite word has come from the
executive mansion, and members of
the presidents household refuse even
to talk about it.
A public declaration is expected
soon. In that message to the people
of the United States, the president is
expected to announce that the treaty
is in the campaign, that he will not
abandon the idea of having a real
league Of nations with America in it,
and that he will await with conf
dence the verdict of the voters in
November.
Those who believe Wilson may run
again argue 1t is logical for him to
come forward now as the one candi-
date whose election would mean be-
yond doubt that the people demand
His health is the big
gest obstacle, according to those
close to the white house.
Persons who know him and trav-
eled with him on his speaking tour
last fall believe that the Importance
Of treaty ratification transcends
everything, in his estimation He
considers the treaty is greater than

Applicants for Insurance 0ften
Rejected

Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public. there is one
preparation that has been very suc-
cessful in overcoming these eondi-
lions. The mild and healing inhu-
ence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root

highest for its remarkable record
Of success.
An examining physician for one
of the prominent Life Insurance
Companies, in an interview OF the
subject, made the astonishing state
ment that one reason why so many
applicants for insurance are REJECT
ed is because kidney trouble Is 80
common to the American people,
and the large majority OF those
whose applications are declined 40
not even suspect that they have the
disease. DR.. Kilmer's Swamp kool

Optometrists Of West Virginia who
will hold their state convention here
May II and IS paid this city rather
unique compliment in the way they
decided to come here. No place was
fixed for the gathering and Fred w.
Burnett. secretary-treasurer of the
association, took vote of the mem
bership by mai. A card on which
was printed the names of number
of West Virginia cities was sent out
and the membeiS were requested to
check opposite the name of the town
in which they would like to meet. Not
a bit of urging was done for any city,
but when the cards were examined 1t
was found that Fairmont had receiv-
ed twice as many votes as any other
city.
The sessions of the association will
be held at The Fairmont, and it Is
believed that there will be quite
large attendance, because the pro-
gram calls for lectures by two of the
most prominent authorities in opti-
metry in the country. Both will talk
during the afternoon of the first day.
DR.. ]. H. Harmon, OF Vincennes,
Ind, will lecture on "Optometry as a
Science" and Harry G. Winston, pres
ident of the Ohio State Association of
Optometrists. whose home is in Gin
cinnati, will lecture on "Organiza-
tion."
On the evening of the first day
there will be a social program for the
visitors. Inasmuch as the convention
was wished on" Fairmont, as it
were, the details of this have not yet
been finally worked out, but this
evening some OF the leading opto-
metrists in this section of the state
will meet in this city with A. B. Scott
and definite plans will be decided
upon.

the second day, but there will talks
by both DR.. Harmon and Mr.. VIM

the president of the West Virginia
association and he will respond to the
