WILSON AGAIN 8nANES
LODGE TREATY DRAFT
Democrats Hope for Compromise
But Admit Lodge Must
Alter View

Washington, Feb. IA letter
from President Wilson, renewing his
objection to some features of the
peace treaty reservations framed By
the Republican majority of the sen
ate, furnished the basis of an earnest
discussion today in a conference of
Democratic senators called to con-
slider what course the treaty's
friends should pursue when it again
comes before the Senae next week.
The only decision reached was to
cooperate in the parliamentary ac-
ton necessary to reopen the ques-
tion ofsratiflcation and to work for
an acceptable compromise on reser-
vations.. Just what sort of comprom-
Use should be considered acceptable
was debated in the light of varying
interpretations of the presidents
letter, but there was no attempt to
frame a definite reservation pro-
gramme.
Striking directly at the Republi-
can reservation on article ten and
various proposed substitutes, the
president wrote that any reservation
which said that "the United States
assumes no obligation under such
and such an article unless or ex-
cert, would be likely to "chill' the
relationship between this coun-
try and the other powers. A sub
stitute article ten reservation con-
cerning this language, which had
been under consideration by the re-
Gently disbanded bipartisan COM
promise committee, the president
wrote, was Every unfortunate" in
form, though he agreed with it's sub
stance.
The letter was written on Jan.
26, while the bipartisan negotiations
were in progress and before publi-
cation of the letter of Viscount Grey,
former British ambassador to the
United States, on the acceptability of
the Republican reservations. 1t was
addressed to Senator Hitchcock OF
the Democratic leader of
.he Senate, who laid it before the I,

OLD GUARD IS STACKING
CARDS AGAINST WOOD
Cutler Charges Plot to Eliminate
Roosevelt Followers
From Party

Washington, Jan.-Charges are
made by Representative Fuller Of
Massachusetts that the Old Guard
within his party is endeavoring to
gain complete control of the nation
al convention for the purpose Of
nominating a reactionary Old Guard
favorite for the presidency. 1t is
a repetition of many similar charges
made against Will II. Hays, chair
man of the Republican National
Committee, and the Old Guard.
Fuller's charge follows an an
nouncement from Chicago that
Jimmie" Reynolds is to manage
the boom of Governor Coolidge of
Massachusetts for the presidency.
Reynolds has always been in very
close touch with the Old Guald in
the Republican party and news of
his selection as Coolidge's manager
therefore is taken a: q bit OF politi-
cal strategy, the effect OF which can
only be told by later developments.
1t is pointed out by llr. Fuller
that the Old Guard is determined to
nominate a candidate to its liking
one who will not be in sympathy
with the Roosey I,
party. He insists the cards are be-
ing stacked now so that former sun
porters Of Roosevelt VIII >a ur.-e-e-
ed from showing their strength in
the convention. He declares that If
he is elected as delegate-at-.arga
from Massachusetts, he will 90 into
the convention to vote first and last
for General Leonard Wood.
81 believe the Roosevelt element
in the Repuglican party should in
sist on having an opportunity Of ex-
pressing its choice of a candidate
for President" said Mr.. Fuller in
announcing his candidacy as de.e-
Eai9-at-large. IF chosen as a drl.-
gate | will vote for Leonard Wood.
first, last and all the time. The Old
Guard scheme is TO elect delegates
in each State who favor the favorite
on of that State and by that method
get together at the convention and
elect candidate of their choosing"
