MOVE TO LET
TREATY RIDE
TO CAMPAIGN
Leaders Declare Their Labors
to Break Deadlock Is
Waste of Time.

ter of FOrmality.
By Associated Press

By Associated Press
WASHINGTON, March Con
vinced that for the present their
labors 10 break the peace treaty
deadlock arc a waste of time. SEN
ate leaders moved today TO get the
treaty out of the way of pressing
legislation and TO let the issues
raised by the ratification fight 20
into the political campaign for de-
Cison.
Under the plan agreed to and ap-
parently acquiesced in by all ele-
ments Of both parties. compromise
negotiations on the crucial reserva-
ton TO article 10 are 10 be dropped
re-adOption of the republican reser-
vatiOn program of last session is to
be completed as a formality. and
then a final ratification vote is TO be
taken TO put the treaty out of the
senate and into the camEaiEn.
Plan Early Vote.
Some senators predicted tonight
that the final vote, which il is cone
ceded on both sides, will record an
other failure 20 ratify, would come
within the next three days. Among
most OF the leaders. however, the
prediction was that the smOuldering
debate would take at least the re-
mainder Of the week TO burn itself
out in spite OF general cooperation
10 keep it sharply under control.
The decision to hasten action was
reached when the republican lead
ers, convinced that the democrats
would block ratification unless the
article 10 reservation were modified
determined to stand by their guns
and insist that the reservation go
into the ratification resolution with
out any change of substance or OF
language. In this reaffirmation they
acceded to a demand by the repub-
licans irreconcilably opposed TO rat
ification who had intimated that
they might adopt methods of their
own TO wreck the republican pro-
gram If they saw signs of weaken
ing on article 10.
Repeat Move.
The coup of the irreconcilables
in thus bringing the treaty fight to
truce was a virtual repetition of
the move by which, several weeks
ago. they ended the bipartisan
compromise negotiations by bringing
pressure TO bear on the republican
leaders when an agreement seemed
imminent. Holding the balance of
power, their votes have 10 be count
ed on by the republicans TO adopt
any of the proposed reservations.
and in addition they are understood
TO have pointed out that II their
counsels were disregarded, they cas-
lily could talk the treaty over into
the campaign under the senate's
rule OF unlimited debate
Fail TO Act.
In fact a program of extensive
debate already had been inaLgu-
rated by the irreconcilables. mem
bers of the group having held the
hocr several hours each day during
last weeks sessions Under today's
agreement they are expected not
only 10 discontinue that program
but 10 vote with the republicans
as they did last session in adopting
reservations.

STATE ROAD WORK
IS THREATENED BY
ACTION OF BOARD
Official Ruling Makes No
Provision for Preliminary
Improvement Expenses.

By Associated Press;
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, March l.
Road building i'm Nigo county is
paralyzed by a recent ruling Of the
state board Of accounts. and the
fourteen members of the county
engineers office walked out yester-
day and left a sign on the door,
Closed Until Further Notice" This
action halts preliminary steps for
improvements this year.
All Counties Affected.
In fact, if the ruling of the state
accounts board holds good every
county in the state may be affected.
The ruling received from the state
board Of accounts by county auditor
and the county commissioners makes
no provisions for preliminary eX-
penditures on roads of any kind un-
til the actual bond sale for the i'm
provement. which is the last action
taken before the actual work Of
building the road starts.
Holds Up Payments.
Under this ruling County Auditor
Lee today held up payment for the
February work Of the engineering
office. He said that if he issued
warrants for the bill he would be
liable TO fine and Imprisonment un-
der the state boards ruling for pay
ing from any fund other than that
provided by the sale OF the bonds.
Other counties Drobablv are in the
same fix as Vigo and if so, it looks
as though all county road building
would be tied up.

CHICAGO ARTIST
IN HOME LECTURE
Ross Crane Tells Local Folks
How TO Add Beauty TO
Living Rooms.

More than 800 lovers of the ar
tistic and beautiful assembled in the
high school auditorium Monday
evening where they were greeted
with a pleasing picture actually pre-
sented by Ross Crane of Chicag go.
the celebrated artist in interior dec
orations Mr.. Crane chose rs his
subject for the evening THE Fur
nishing Of the Living Room" and
many who witnessed the skilfuu
work of Crane agreed that the work
OF the artist more than exceeded
their hopes.
To begin with Mr.. Crane outlined
the necessary requisites for furnish
ing successful living room. He ex-
planned the work as he went on
with it and said in part: I'm fur
nishing a room so that it will en-
body all the furnishings that will
please the eye and the sense OF the
beautiful four requisites are neces-
sary, namely: color. form, texture,
and line. Without these there's some
thing lacking. the Punishment is
not complete, and will not be. until
these four qualities are in direct
harmony with each other.
Home is Center.
The home" Mr.. Crane contin-
ued, 'is the real social and econom-
ical center of all civic life. The
man is reflected in the atmosphere

zens.

basic principles that viii fashion

I So as long as it IS in our power
make il as good as possible" said
/ Mr.. Crane in concluding.
Mr.. Crane then. with the assist
ance of Don Romaine. a young art
I student from Chicago. gave demon
strations OF his ideas by actually
furnishing a living room. First
with nothing but "A bare rectangu-
I lar room. and he made the point

piece by piece. until he finally had a
total of Il pieces i'm the room.

vanced according to the criterion
afforded by rising vote taken at

night at the Chamber Of Commerce

attended by about 40 persons. the
majority Of whom We're physicians
and hospital authorities voted three

The fact that the result OF the
vote would not bind the Chamber of
Commerce hospital corbnittee to
advocate the favored plan was spe-
cially stressed by DR.. J. c. Boone,
chairman of the meeting before the
ballot was taken.
To Take Straw Vote.
Arrangements for taking "A stra "

The positive need of immediate
relief was pointed out by the cham
pions of the favored plan as the
essential consideration. 1t was gen
orally admitted that a county hos

PLAN WOULD GIVE

Vice-Pres't Marshall Would
Not Restrict Delegates to
Convention.
BY LOUIS LUDLOW.

(Sews-Times Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Mar. 4 - Vice
president Thomas r. Marshall has
adopted a novel and seemingly ef-
fective method Of promoting his
idea that the best interests OF the
democratic party and Of the coun-
try demand that a free and un-
trammeled body of delegates shall
meet at San Francisco to nominate
a candidate and adopt a platform in
the light OF such conditions as may
exist when the convention assem-
bles.
Old-FashiOned Meet.
The vice-president takes the po-
sition that no man can tell three
months in advance OF the conven-
uou what changes the intervening
period may bring forth or who will
be the most available candidate
next June. If ne could have his
way he would make the coming
democratic national convention a
sort OF enlarged old-fashioned town
meeting IN which the spokesmen OF
the people would take into consid-
GRAFTON the then existing state Of
the union and adopt such a course,
without any restrictions or limita-
tions, as might be suggested in the
light OF circumstances at the time.

Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1920-03-10

Frank W. Agan of Ludlow has
entered the race for the nomination
for governor against c. S. Emery of
Newport, James Hardness of Spring
field, and F. H. Babbitt of Bellows
Falls. Frank Agan was running
mate of Clements in the famous
local option fight of 1902 and perhaps
holds many of the present governors
views. It is fairly well known that
Agan's sentiments are in opposition
80 prohibition in general and to the
present enforcement act in particular.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Agan interprets
the March meeting vote which in
theory put more towns in Vermont
than ever before into the wet column,
as . protest in this state against the
present prohibition legislation. How
far Mr.. Agan can get on this issue
is a question to be settled later, but
this paper believes the number of vot-
ers who will support a wet guber-
Material candidate, as such, are COM
parativeIv few, and that unless Mr..
Agan can give the voters something
more tangible, definite and construct
i've than mere campaign of protest
against prohibition and its enforce
ment, his campaign will fall flat
Since Mr.. Babbitt holds a similar
view TO that of Mr.. Agan with regard
to the Volstead enforcement act il
would appear to this paper that his
entry into the campaign would take
more from Mr.. Rabbits strength
than from that of Emery or Hartness
whom are generally known to be in
sympathy with prohibition as it now
stands, and since Agan comes from
the south end of the state where
Babbitt and Hardness both live, his
entry would also take from Hartness
more strength than from Emery
