nEns,CRATIC LEADERSHIP IN
SENATE STILL UNDETERMINED

With the coming of Carter Glass
as Senator from Virginia at an early
date it was thought that the deadlock
In the Underwood-Hitchco contest
Aor Democratic leadership in the
Senate would be broken. 1t now ap-
pears. however, that the vote OF
Senator Glass will be offset by that
of Senator Johnson of South Dakota.
At the recent Democratic caucus
held for the purpose of choosing d
Senate leader, Senators UNDERWOOD
and Hitchcock each received ~ VoeeS
and the caucus boke up without ac-
eomnlishing it's purpose. Neither OF
the two candidates voted at the eau
Gus and four Senators were absent
and haired. thus accounting for ~
votes. Senator Johnson OF South Ia
kota was absent from the caucus
and not paired, and Senator Hoke
Smith, of Georgia, refrained from
voting, saying that he was so fond OF
both candidates that he could not
bring himself to vote for either IN
preference to the other. It is said
that Senator Glass will vote for I'm
derwood and that Senator Johnson
will favor Hitchcock, and it thus ap-
nears that unless Senator Hoke Smith
decides to vote or some other Senator
changes his vote the deadlock may
continue indefinitely.
Since Senator Hitchcock is now the
acting leader, there is little in the Sit
uation of a nature likely to worry
him Special importance attaches to
the matter, however, because of the
) fact that the personality of the DEM
ocratic leader is likely to have a
strong bearing upon the peace treaty
controversy. Senator Hitchcock seems
to have about exhausted his resources
as a. leader without securing ratifica-
ton. On the other hand there are
indications that with Senator Under
wood as Democratic leader, the atti-
tude of the Republican Senators re-
garding compromise reservations, as
