the senate as Tightening the treaty
deadlock and bringing the question Of
ratification one step nearer the politi-
sal campaign.

acted relates to withdrawal from mem

adoption was as to 20. 10 democrats

porting it. Four OF these-Senators
Ashurst (Arizona), Fletcher (Floridal
Henderson (Nevada) and Nugent ida.
ho)-haye stood on all previous roll
calls steadfastly against any qualifiea-
ton Of the treaty.
1t was by bare majority, S3 to 80,
that the senate rejected the change in
the reservation framed by republican
leaders and submitted by Senator
Lodge as part of his compromise plan,
