moreover, has anticipated the Democratic

Mr.. Wilson risks something by putting
the issue to test in advance of the

But there is one weakness in Mr.. VIII

whole business and that the Lodge res

Nevertheless it is a matter of doubt
whether the President will ask the Dem
ocratic national convention at SAN Fran

upon him to consent to plank in the |

4 In a sense Mr.. Wilson makes it a bit
easier for the Republicans by his pro-
nouncement against the Lodge reserya

found the Republicans endorsing the

The controversy has reached the point
where the administration In willing to
