1t is no less doubtful that a suf-
fcient turn over" is possible to
permit ratification with the Lodge
reservations.
The result in Oklahoma scores one
victory fer the President. The
White House would have to bag
many more to have a Senate of a
mind to go willingly along with him.
He had about twenty-four in March.
He would have to have sixty-four to
ratify as he demanded.
The league will be a factor in
Kentucky, where Senator J. c. w.
Beckham, a Democrat. voted to rat
Ify with and without the Lodge res
ervations; in Utah, where Senator
Reed Smoot found himself out of
harmony with the Mormon church
because of his support of the Lodge
program; in Missouri, where the de-
feat of Senator Selden p. Spencer,
Republican, by Breckenridge Long,
former Third Assistant Secretary of
State, might give the White House
another supporter.
In a majority of doubtful States
both contestants are committed to
ratification with something like the
Lodge reservations, and the battles
are being waScd on straight party
lines.

Moral pressure upon the Senate is
the best that may be hoped for
from the solemn referendum" on
the league of nations, in the opin-
ion of political leaders who are

torial contests are in progress. To
those in touch with the issues on
which the Senate fights are being

Senator Warren G. Harding's re-

Democratic war cry is to be that
the Republican nominee has Joined
the ranks of the "nullifiers," and
that his election could not bring
peace.
Confidential reports from States

Owing to the fact that Clarence

cheon. The meeting was also ad-
dressed by Edgar Snyder, a news
