SEES TREATY
: AS BIG ISSUE
Sure to Go Into Political Cam
paign, Says Senator
Hitchcock.

The peace treaty is sure to go
into the campaign, is the belief of
Senator Hitchcock. Democrats
leader.
"From present indications, ! eI-
peet the treaty will be in the cam
paign," said Hitchcock.
Personally Hitchcock views inJec-
ton Of the pact into the coming
political fight with composure. The
possibility that President Wilson
might take the treaty out OF poll
ties by withdrawing it from the
Senate and pigeonholing it is con-
sidered by Senate Democrats to be
quite rs remote as that Senator
Lodge might surrender on Article
x.
May Debate Today.
Indications today were that the
Senate will not spend much more time
on the treaty. Illness of Senator
Lodge may prevent further discussion
Of Il this week. If Lodge Is well
enough to be in the Senate today.
debate may be resumed. In that
event, a vote on the nrst reservation.
on withdrawal. may como within
short time ~a To-, ....,
me Article X reservation Is next
in erdar, and Lodge contemplates ask
Ing that II go over until all other aues-
tions have been disposed OF. This
may bring tho whole matter to
climax. for Hitchcock intends to sug-
gest settling Article x right away;
This, many Senator's believe, would
mean quick demonstration that
compromise and ratification are I'M
possible.
However, should Lodge be absent
and the treaty lie dormant, 1t Is al
most certain to be displaced next
Monday or early in tho week by the
conference report on the railroad bill.
Once the treaty IL sidetracked In
favor OF something else. 1t will prob.
ably not be revived, at least not until
the pressing appropriation lesisia
oion of the session has been dis
possd OF. BY that time the senate
will be ready to adjourn for tho po-
litical conventional.
with the treaty pretty generally
conceded to be IN politics, there was
considerable, discussion today OF the
purpose of Senator Lodge In moving
to amend the withdrawal reservation
SO as to yallaw the President alone,
without the assent OF Congress, 10
five, notice of the withdrawal OF the
United States from the league or ma
tions. Some Senators suggested that
Lodge might have had in mind the
coming Republican convention when
he wrote that amendment. At that
convention. Senators expect. Dc
tetmined effort will be made by the
Republican "bitter enders" to have
plank written either condemning the
lea gue of nations or pledging the
party to make withdrawal from tho
league as easy as possible. '''!'l

into by Mr.. Hardness and his n"st

that while she was still the wife Of

the affections. OF Mr.. Hardness; tina:
the interlocutory decree obtained by
her from Gaines was based on col

marriage to Mr.. Hardness ten days
after obtaining this interlocutory de-
cree was illegal, and that the widow

that the widow has no legal right
