HOLDS DIFFERENT VIEW

Senator Hitchcock has opposed such a course. Another factor is the author ship of Senator Underwood of the pend ing motion for appointment of Sem ate committee on cancellation.
 Supporters of Senator Hitchcock have been urging his election as an indorse- ment of his ex-ofsicio minority leader ship during the illness and since the death of Senator Martin.
 They also have emphasized that his defeat might be construed as repudia- ton of the administration policy as TO- gards the treaty and might have a harmful effect on future action.
 In behalf fo Senator Underwood 1t has been denied that his election would or could be regarded as repudiation of the treaty management, either of MT. Hitchcock or the administration. The Alabama senator's friends have insisted that the treaty is a temporary issue, which should not be a factor in elec- ton of a permanent leader, and have emphasized that MT. Hitchcock, as ranking democrat on the foreign rela- tions committee, would continue in charge of the treaty and also of all ,. other questions of foreign relations coming before the Senate even should MT. Underwood be chosen leader.

 Will Affect Treaty
sy A,ssclat.s Press

Washington, January 14-Further and more determined efforts to bring about ratification of the peace treaty is expected to follow selection tomor- row by democratic senators of a leader to succeed the late Senator Martin of Virginia.
 Senatorial conferences today were devoted almost exclusively to the lead ership race between Senator Hitchcok of Nebraska, administration manager of the treaty contest, and Senator bn- derwood of Alabama. former demo cratic leader in the House. The depo- crats meet in caucus tomorrow mora ing before the Senate convenes to make their choice. with an extremely close contest in prospect.
 Managers of the Hitchcock and un- derwood campaigns, while both claim ing victory, agreed tonight that the democratic membership was very evenly divided and that one vote might decide the contest.
 Effect of the democratic leadership election on the treaty is predicated on variant positions taken recently by Senators Hitchcock and Underwood on ratification. Although both have urged unreserved ratification, Senator Under wood declared several days ago that II unable to secure complete ratification he was prepared to support resolu- ton of partial ratification, excluding the League of Nations covenant and leaving it for settlement in the fall e1nrtious

APPEALED TO MARRIAGE BUREAU
There have been men in like cir
cumstances who have turned TO drink.
But the month was September; the
year 1919. And in a season when
drinks were soft and times were
hard. Samuel turned to a matrimonial
club.
He told agents of the Travellers Aid
Society, special officers OF the railroad
company. and other employees all about
it. To them he confided how he had
Joined the matrimonial club, whose
headquarters are in New York, paying
81 for the privilege, and how he had
sent S97 to a Miss Vaughn, of Call
fornia. He even whispered that he
had been a widower for ten years and
and a grown son and three daughters.
1t was a neighbor, he said. who sug-
gested that matrimonial club. 1t was
a happy suggestion, he thought, for a
short time later Miss Vaughn wrote
that she was inclined toward matri-
mony. Then she sent him her picture,
a robust woman in her thirties. buried
in furs, and wearing picture hat.
And as the picture didn't show all of
her. Miss Vaughn pcnned that she was
six feet tall.
SENT FARE AND BEGAN WAITING.
Twas enough for Samuel. He pro-
posed and was accepted. Then he
sent her railroad fare to Baltimore.
Monday, when she should have ar
rived, he carefully curled his long
mustache, donned a natty blue suit,
and with a piece of grey ribbon-said
to have been sent him by Miss
Vaughn--in his lapel. he sailed forth
to Union Station, the trysting place.
He even bought wedding ring Tor
his bride -to-be and wore 1t on his
little finger.
Miss Vaughn didn't arrive Monday.
But Samuel wasn't discouraged. He
thought of her and talked OF her. Tues
day she didn't come, and Samuel
thought of her but talked of himself.
He told the station employees that he
lived in modest little home. sur

and worked on the roads. He walks
five miles to work. he said, and earns
So a day. Wednesday Miss Vaughn
didn't come. Samuel still thought OF
her but didn't talk at all.
Thursday came, but brought to the
station neither Samuel or Miss
Vaughn. So while station employees
are wondering where Samuel is,
Samuel, they believe, is still wonder
ing where Miss Vaughn is. and agents
of the Travellers Aid Society are
wondering what that New York matri-
monial bureau is.
