 Thirty democrats and thirty eight re- publicans were recorded in favor of the reservation after Senator Hitchcock, the democratic leader, had declared on the floor that it's effect would be only to recite a principle already established un- der the treaty itself and under federal laws. It provides in substance, no man date could be accepted by the United States without the consent of Congress.

 The prohibition plank. which Mayor I.unn unsuccessfully sought to have elimi- mated, follows:
 ''We are unslteTably opposed to prohr,i- ton by federal amendment. We believe ii 10 be an unrea sonable interference with the rights of the states as guaran- teed by the constitution. We feel that the recent enactment was the imposition of the ideas of an active minority against the wishes of the great majority of the A American people. We therefore declare for it's speedy repeal and to the end that tn personal liberty of the people of our state may be thoroughly safeguarded until such time as this repeal may be brought about: we declare the right of our state in the exercise of it's sov- ereign power to so construe the corc1r- rent clause of the eighteenth amendment as to be in accord with the liberal and reasonable views of our people," Complete enfranchisenent of women and their full and equal representation in party affairs, and strong campaign of education as a means of curbing rad icalism are urged in the platform.

PRFv|OIIS DECISION
 MUST STAND WILSON INFORMS PREM|ERS
Otherwise President Will Seriously Consider With drawal of Treaty and French Alliance From
 Senate
By Associated Pros,

Washington, February z6.--Presi- dent Wilson, in his reply to the Britt tsh and French premiers on the Adrf- decision that unless the terms of set- clement are returned to the provisions of the agreement of December be must take under serious considera- ton, the withdrawal of the treaty of Versailles and the French alliance from the Senate.
 The response of the premiers were dispatched from London today, but had rot been received tonight in Washing . ton.
 With the exception of this note. the exchanges on the subject. including the December 9 agreement and the subsequent agreement communicated to go-Slavia last month by the Brit. ish and French premiers, were made gBublic today by the state depart ment.
 Holding that the provisions of the agreement sent as an ultimatum to Jugo- Slavia would merely continue the old order Of things which brought so many evils on the world" Presi- dent wilson, in his first communica-
  that if such were made effective the time had not come when this govern. ment can entertain concert of powers, the very existence of which must depend upon a new spirit and a new order" The note then added:
 WOULD WITHDRAW TREATY
 ssThe President desires to say
 that he must take under serious
 consideration the withdrawal of
 the treaty with Germany and the
 agreement between the United
 States and France (the Franco
 American treaty.. which are now
 before the Senate.'
 Premiers Millerand of France and Lloyd George of Great Britain, In re- ply stated that changes in opinion and circumstances had occurred since tha original proposal to which the. United States was a party was drawn, which changes evidently were not fully aQ-- preciated in the United States.

 premiers' nStc stntcds conseguens- ly ssylew with c0nSternationv the threat of the United States to withdraw from the League of Na-

 premfers that the United States
 twill not wreck the whole ma- chinery for dealing with interna- tfonal dfsputeso because the posi- 1 fion of the United States is not |/ accepted in a particular case. f Tn his last note the President reiter- ated in an emphatic manner his stand from which he asserted there could be no choice, as the course decided upon bv the premiers would be short sighted and not in accord with the ter- rible sacrifices of the entire world. which can be Justified and enobled only by leading finally to settlements in keeping with the principles for which the war was fought" The joint memorandum of December 2 subscribed by France.
