WASHINGTON, April 21.-Presi-
dent Wilson plans to make the
Treaty Of Peace the dominant issue
Of the campaign. Whether a candi-
date or not, Mr.. Wilson will make a
fight TO have the American people
indorse his stand. For the present,
therefore, the treaty will not go back
TO the Senate unless, Of course. there
is some change OF heart in the Sen
ate or some situation in Europe
which alters the whole face OF thingR
But the overshAdUwing issue will be
the treaty. A. vote for the Democratic
ticket will be a vote for the Peace
Treaty; vote for the Republican
ticket will be vote against the Peace
Treaty. That is the Democratic strato-
gy. That Is what the Democratic
campaign orators are going 20 say,
Notwithstanding the pIOtos.5 OF Re
publican speltbinders that they
wanted che treaty with reservations
and Mr.. Wilson blocked the way.
If the American people defeat the
Democratic Party on that issue, tho
Presidents next move will unques-
tIonatay be 20 withdraw American
participation from Europe, and from
that would logically follow another
peace negotiation by the next Presi-

FORECAST SOLID
SOUTH TO SPLIT
Republicans Make Usual Pre-
dictiOns to Leaders On
Northern Journeys
NEW STATES ARE CLAIMED
Florida Among States to Send
Republican to Congress,
Claim SOutherners.
tBy GEORGE II. MANHlNe.)

Washington, Aug S.-Allur;ng prom
ises of a branch in the Solid South
are being held up TO the leaders OF the
Republican party by the Southern Re
publicans. The Republican leaders
from the Southern States are now
making journeys to the North telling
the Republican leaders and the news
papers that If the proper assistance
is extended the Southern StAtes vii
certainly elect some Republicans to
the house of representatives 10 take
the place of Democrats.
There is nothing unusual about this
1t is done early in August everv two
years. There is no more actual pros
pect. of electing Republicans to con-
gress from the South .his year than
in any of the past twenty years.
But the Republican ioadcrs in TIE
Southern States go through these rlo-
tions every two years, giving sssur-
ance to the leaders of the Republican
National Committee and any news
paper men who will give them ear.
The purpose is two fold: 1t causes the
Republican leaders to loosen the purse
strings and contribute literally to-
wards the much -heralded campaign
that is to be made in the South. and.
in case the Republicans elect their Ma
tional ticket 1t gives the Southern
leaders a seat at the pie-counter after
election. They can claim the federal
jobs in the South on the strength Of
having done their bit towards Repun-
ncan success.
If the Republican national ticket is
successful in November the Southern
Republicans reap their harvest next
March in jobs: they have already reap
ed the money harvest this fall.
This year the Southern Republicans
We somewhat more bold in their
claim sthan usual. They are usually
satisfied with claiming Virginia.
North Carolina and Tennessee. But
this year they assert they willelect Re-
publican congressman in North and
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ten
nessee, Kentucky and Texas.
The Republicans apparently are
counting upon the split conditions
among the Georgia Democrats to help
them gain a foothold in that state.
But the Georgia Democrats assert they
are not at all alarmed on this score;
that Governor Cox is a very acceptable
candidate, and that when election day
comes. Georgia will poll the biggest
vote in her history for the Cox and
Roosevelt ticket.
AS a matetr of fact there seems not
the remotest possibility of any South
.ern states sending Republicans to
congress in place of Democrats. There
is no sign of anything but solid
democratic delegation from North and
South Carolina; Alabama, Louisiana.
Florida, Texas and Mississippi will re-
main in the Solid South, and Virginia
will, as usual, send but one Republic
can, Congressman Slemp of the Ninth
district.

the Russian mission, headed by NJ.

from Moscow today in answer to the
request for truce. Tonight they sent
another note to the Soviets and also
advised Poland that If the request
came direct from the poles 1t might
have a better chance OF being granted.

ing Of Poles and Russians is called
for Minsk next Wednesday and that
the Bolsheviki preferred to make their
own arrangements with the Poles. It
was reliably reported tonight that a
blockade of Russia will be imposed

ficially declaring war on Russia, the
allies have decided to give Poland all
possible naval, military and economic
aid without delay.

night it is admitted that the situation

Legislature Meets to Consider
Issue-Outcome Is Regarded
as Very Uncertain.

Nashville, Aug. S.-The Tennessee
legislature meets at noon tomorrow In
extraordinary session to consider rati-
fication of the federal suffrage amend
ment. Thirty-five states throughout
the nation have already ratified it.
Indications tonight were that plans
to take up the suffrage question the
first thing would not materialize to-
night, for although the Legislature is
already organized, the governors call
was not issued until Saturday and it
is doubtful whether there will be a
quorum until Tuesday
Scores of suffrage and anti suffrage
leaders are here in the interest of
their cause and both factions are
claiming victory, but in many quar-
ters there is disposition to regard
the outcome as uncertain.
