Presidents Letter Tightens Treaty
Issue for the Presidential Campaign

Hence the effect OF the president
calling upon the party to stand by the
treaty, has been TO strengthen the po-
sition of the "irreconcilable oppo-
nents" of the treaty in the senate
and give increased assurance to all
those who fought the president $
league plan and the treaty as whole.
1t has given great boost to the
candidacy of Hiram Johnson. who
alone OF all the .contenders for the
Republican, nomination, has consist
emily opposed the treaty.
TURN TO JOHNSON
Wood. Lowden, Harding and even
Hoover have endorsed ratification
With reservations. But with the pres
idents definite call to his party to
carry his league formula to the peo-
pie, experienced party leaders are
likely to find it necessary to turn to
Johnson as the only one who can
consistently lead the Republican
party on the stand which it will be
forced To take, namely outspoken ors
Oneition TO the treaty and all it con-
tains.
.ator Borah and others who have
been determined To force the Chicago
convention into a positive declaration
against the treaty took great cheer to
themselves today as the presidents
message was discussed. They see in
it a driving force which will COM
pei the party To abandon all talk of
reservations and nominate Johnson
Borah's choice to head the party
ticket on the issue.
Both Senator Johnson and Senator
Borah expressed themselves as pleas
ed at the definition of the issue made
by the president Senator johnson
said that everybody in the United
States could now see the issue plainly,
except one man. Hoover. who, be-
cause 1t is purely an American Ques-
ton never will see it,.
