upon kellogg. Lenreot Hale and the
other mild" fellows they quit their
efforts to have reservation plank
adopted.
h The settlement of the controversy
over the Craftsmanship of the conyen-
ton apparently Is in the hands of
Senator johnson. II he is willing to
have former Senator Albert J. Bev-
eridge, OF Indiana as permanent
chairman, the slate will be fixed with
Senator Lodge as temparory chair
man.
Senator Borah is willing tn stand
for Raveridgc, and strong efforts are
being made to get Johnson to agree
to him. Lodge and Borah talked the
matter over with Johnson scparasefy
today but no decision was reached.
johnson declined to give the slightest
intimation as to whether or not he
will consent to having Beveridge
named
1t has been brought out that
Beveridge was advertised In Indiana
as one of the Wood speakers. al
though Senator Borah says that
Reyeridge made No speeches at all.
But the impressions seems to have got
ton out that Beveridge was more
friendly to the Wood campaign than
he was to Johnson's, in spite Of the
fact that he was one of the big
noises of the Bull Moose campaign of
1919
Johnson's people say that whenever
JohnGon spoke in the vicinity of
Beveridge's home town, Beveridge al
ways managed to be away. To
which the Wood people retert that
whenever the general approached
Beveridge was said TO be i'll.
In the meantime, If Johnson has
candidate of HIS, own for the per
sssaaent- eAaiEH4aHsAie- he In
tends to accept BeSerfdge. he is keep
ing mighty still about it

The plank will denounce the league
of nations 1t will commend the Re-
publicans i'm the senate for their re-
fusal to ratify the American"
document brought by the president
from Paris. 1t will denounce the ef-
forts of the administration to force
the treaty upon the country,
There will be no reference in the
plank to the reservations nor to the
senators who thought that by adopt
ing reservations they could make the
treaty safe.
This is bitter pill to the reserva-
ton senators, especially to the
mild reservafionists. who have
been hoping that the convention
would give them some sort of en-
dorsement. 1t is distinct victory
for the irreconciiabie opponents OF
the treaty, like Borah. johnson, Nc
Cormick. Knox and Brandegee. who
announced long ago they would not
tolerate any declaration by the con-
vention that would even seem to en-
dorae the league OF nations scheme.
1t In interesting to relate the pro-
ceas by which the mild reservation
lists" were shown that they didn't
have chance to win an endorsement.
The iYreconciiAble& served notice
upon them that il they tried any
thing Of this kind. q resolution would
be introduced on the 6oor of the
convention endorsing the senators
who refused to support the Johnson
amendment to give the United States
the same number or votes as the
British empire
OF course such a resolution would
fail, and its failure would be the
equivalent of an outright repudia-
ton of the mild reservation" SEN
ators, for they were the ones who re-
fused to permit the Johnson amend
ment to be adopted.
