has voted on a question Of ending q
war before the ratification Of treaty
of peace.
The final vote, which came after al
most twelve hours of spirited partisan
attacks on the President, on the sen.
ate and on the peace treaty, was 241
to $50. Despite the appeals of their
leaders @ Democrats, u from New
York, bolted the party leadership and
voted for the resolution. Only two

fered as a motion to recommit, the
only vote other than that on adop
ton of the resolution permitted under
the rule, three Democrats lined uI
with the Republicans, while two Re
rublicans Joined the minority. The
greater break in the Democratic ranks
came on the final vote.

Affairs Committee claimed after the
roll call that 20 more votes would
carry the resolution over a Presiden
tial veto. Democratic members, how
er, said vote on that question would
see party alignment virtually intact.
