mittee today there were several who
said frankly they looked for at least

close Of the campaign. However, sincc
the figure originally thought of when
the campaign was decided upon was
1000, II was decided to let it stand.
If the people of Ardmoro insist on
going away above the goal, the graf
ihcation OF the committee will be
all the greater.
The determination to make the
drive in the week of April was
reached when the campaign director
reported that by that time everything
will be in readiness. He said the CO.
operation Of the citizens had been
so good, that the setting up Of the
material for the effort had progress
"a better than is many times the
case ana there was no reason for
spending more time in getting the
material ready.
Tho actual work Of the teams will
be not more than four days, possibly
only three. If the job ia completed
in the latter period OF time, Ard

MECH FLOWING DONE
SINCE THE RAIN

The recent rain worked wonders
with the cat and wheat crop and
farmers are correspondingly happy.
Small grains were beginning to
suffer when the shower came. The
stand in every section Of the county
is excellent, now and the fields are
looking very promising.
Rain was also needed for plowing.
Thcro was n lot Of blowing yet un-
Gone and the ground was getting SO
hard that 1t made it very difficult,
since the shower the plows have been
busy in every section of this district
and farmers are well advanced with
their work.
The acreage Of corn will be ma.
tcrially increased this season as well
as tho cotton crop. This is the result
Of heavy rains that prevented a great
deal Of wheat sowing in this county.
The tractor agencies are doing good
business here this season and many
new machines will be found upon
the farms Of Carter county wherever
it is practical to work them in place

The natural and logical thing for
the Republicans to do would be to de-
clare in their platform for the rauh-
cation Of the treaty s~afeguarded by the
Americanizing" Lodge reservations
would be an endorsement of the
action of the majority of Republican
senators. IL is what the conservative
would like to 10. A large ma
iority of the delegates in the Chicago
convention will probably favor such a
course.
The "Trreconcilables'
But opposed to IL will be the "1rS
reconcilable" senators led by Johnson
and Borah. They ave demanded that
the Republican platform denounce the
treaty and League of Nations covenant
without qualification n pledge the
party to have nothing to do with
either.
This demand was recently voiced
by Borah in a public statement and
was coupled with threat to bolt the
convention unless the demand is
needed.
AS Borah IS one of the principal
hackers of Senator Johnson In his
campaign for the presidential nominal
Perth Amboy evening news., 1920-05-21

tion. the threat is interpreted as
johnson ultimatum.
Every effort will be made during
the next two weeks by the inside
group OF Republican leaders to phrase
a treaty plank which will be accept
able IL not entirely satisfactory to
both the Lodge reservationists ana
the Johnson-Borah 'irreconcilabies."
Plank of Invasion
Such a plank would denounce the
treaty and League of Nations coven-
ant as brought back from Europe
by the President and point with
pride to the patriotism OF the Repub-
iican senator's who refused to rstify
It.
The model for an evasfve plank
of this character Is found in the plat
form adopted a few days g by the
Indiana Republican convention. Sena-
tor Watson is credited with having
this plank and 1t Is being
discussed with great interest by the
leaders of both Republican groups.
A significant incident In connection
with tn efforts OF the Republican
leaders to find a way but of their
treaty dilemma is former President
Perth Amboy evening news., 1920-05-21

record are the presidents treaty ac-
l~tivities and his present attitude toward
the treaty. From the standpoint or
public interest as affecting the result
of the election. it is probably the most
important part.
The Democratic leaders and dele
gates may protest and squirm as much
las they please. In their hearts they
know that however unpopular the
presidents treaty attitude may be they
must endorse it unless they are pre-
pared to admit hat the Democratic
administration has been a failure.
THAT of course would be deliberate
suicide.
If. as some Democratic lead
crs are saying openly and many
of them privately. to follow the
prcsident on the treaty spells
suicide, and the logical result OF
repudiating his treaty position
will also be suicide, the outlook
would seem to be rather hopeless.
That IT is not altogether hopeless
is due to the fact that the Republicans
are in a position in respect OF the
treaty very little less embarrassing
than the Democrats.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1920-05-21

must choose between the alternatives
of taking the presidents orders.
which in the judgment of most of the
party leaders will at least jeopardize
whatever chances OF success the party
may have, or repudiating the prcsi-
dent and thus play into the hands OF
the Republicans
Unless some more happy solution
of the vexing problem can be worked
out by the Democratic platform
makers during the next few weeks.
the convention is far more likely TO
the presidents orders than to
adopt the alternative course. This

cratic leaders and delegates ma deem

the treaty to be. the Wilson record

Taft's advice to the party made public
in a newspaper article over his sigma
ture.
He warns his party associates Of
the danger involved in permitting the
JohnsonLBorah minority to dictate
Republican treaty policy. He says
that IL the Republican convention
adopts a resolution from which 1t Is
to be inferred and the next Repub-
lican senate and President will not
favor the ratification OF the League
with the Lodge reservations, the con-
vention will thereby repudiate the
action of the Republican senators
taken twice in solemn votes in the
