opposed the treaty's ratification
without reservations. At one stage
In the treaty fight Senator Wads-
worth was almost an irreconcilabie.
In Connecticut the state conven-
ton has been held with Senator
Brandegee as the dominating figure
and the keynote" speaker. He was
one of the bitterest opponents OF the
treaty in the senate.
| The Minnesota primary was won
by Senator Johnson on the prcsiden-
tial preference, altho the Republican
machine "blackjacked" him out OF
the delegates. In that state, as In
Michigan, Senator Johnson made his
fight on the league Of nations issue.
Forecastlng the result in other
states where delegates are to be Sc
lected, 1t is certain that every one OF
the irreconcilable senators on the re-
publican side will receive the en-
dorsemcnt Of his voters. Senator Bo-
rah will dominate the delegation in
his state, Idaho: Senator Fall will be
similarly endorsed In New Mexico;
Senator Poindexter will have his
state, Washington, behind him; Sen
ators Mccormick and Sherman will
be in commanding positions in Hill
nois; Senator Norris will be strong
figure In Nebraska and Senator
France will be delegate at large
from Maryland.
Lastly. there will come the great
state of Pennsylvania, with her sew
enty-six delegates. which will be
amenable to the wishes Of Senators
Knox and Penrose.
Upon every hand. therefore, 1t will
be seen that where the voters are
given an opportunity to express their
opinions the result will be favorable
to the senators who fought the treaty
at every term.
For all practical purposes, there
fore. these elections will serve as
referendum on the league of nations
question, and the result will be the
sending to the Chicago convention OF
a large body Of delegates which will
fight for mo treaty" plank in the
platform.

Chicago, April S.-Bearish senti-
ment predominated in the corn mar
ket today at the outset but the eff
ing pressure was ascribed to posi-
bilities that influential traders would
be indicted on charges OF having
shared in criminal manipulation of
prices. Spreading OF the railway
strike was a factor in bringing about
a rally. Opening quotations, which
varied from unchanged figures to /
cent lower, with May at s1.631s to
Sl.64 and July at s1.573s to s1.5S,
were followed by upturns all around
that in some cases went well above
yesterdays finish.
Later the market hardened further
as a result OF the government re-
port showing a prospective smaller
yield Of wheat than the trade as a
rule had looked for. AS soon as the
shorts had covered, tho the market
started downward again. The close

BILLINGS For Speaker.

Franklin S. Billings. nominated for
town representative in Woodstock, is
being strongly supported in Windsor
county for the speakership of the
House, for which responsible position
there are two other candidates as
started last Week-Charles s Dana of
New Haven, speaker two years ago,
and cx.Lieut Gov Hale X. Darling Of
served as speaker once, should be UNI
willing to let go Of the gayel now is
not plain but the chances are that he
will not be allowed to retain perma
nent possession OF il.
Mr. Darling has long been prominet
in the affairs OF the state and as lieu
tenantgovern0r, was presiding officer
OF the senate. so that he does not
need the speakershiu to add to his
laurels. The present nominee for lieu
tenant governor. a. w. FoOte of Carn-
wall. is from the same county CAD
dison) as Mr. Dana, which is an addi-
ticnal reason for selecting the speaker
