SURE DEATH FOR TREATY.

There is every indication the Demo
cratic convention viii fully endorse the
stand of President Wilson on the treaty
of peace and the league of nations and
and that whoever it dominates will be
committed to the treaty in exactly the
same terms that President Wilson
brought it back from Paris. It also
win be in the same form the senate re-
iected. The Wilson treaty and league
will be made the supreme issue Of the
campaign, probably under the champion
ship of new man but in the old form
without the dotting of an or the cross
ing of a t. The Democrats who favor
a league of nations should remember
shat the election of man on this
plank would mean sure death for the
treaty and the league, because it must
90 again before the senate for ratifi-
cation and the senate never would
ratify it, simply because the nature
of the senate is not likely to be mater
tally changed.
Of the senators whose terms expire
on the fourth of next March, seven
publicans. Should every one of these
fifteen Republican senators be replaced
by Democrats there would still be
thirty-four Republican senators, or more
than a third of the total membership
Of the senate. and the treaty could not
be ratified. The fifteen Republican SEN
ators will not all be defeated. Further
more the seventeen Democratic sena-
tors whose terms expire are not
hem are from surely Democratic states
mostly i'll the South but aside from
these eleven there is a probability OF
electing Republicans to succeed them
50 there is no possibility of electing
a senate that will ratify the Wilson
| compact. If the Democrats are sin
cere in their demand for the treaty
and league they should cast their votC
for the Republican candidate for pres
ident.
If there is a Republican victory tn,
, ratification of the treaty and leagu,
covenant with reservations will be as
sured. Senator Harding voted TO

Probably Temporary Less.

Barre and Montpelier have both lost
in population during the past 10 years,
according to the census returns which
are somewhat approximately correct.
While every town likes to show a
healthy growth it is better to lose than
to gain an ill-digested mass of popula
ton which is not a real part of the com
munity. The most unfortunate of
towns are cities like Bridgeport, Conn,
which have grown faster than they can
possibly assimilate, and are simply hives
of an alien and faetious population. Barre
, and Montpelier are granite towns and
granite was not a war essential Hence
, many of the people went elsewhere and
all are not yet back Also the census this
year was not well taken.

If the Republican governors of Con
necticut and Vermont have not yet
read the woman suffrage plank in the
Republican national platform, it should
be commended to them as worthy of
is what the Republican party in CON
vention assembled earnestly hopes y:
that Republican legislatures in states
which have not yet acted upon the suf
frage amendment will ratify the amend1
ment, to the end that all of the women
of the nation of voting age may par
ticipate in the election of 1920.
Gov. Marcus Holcomb, the crock
of Connecticut, was for many years
a judge of the Connecticut supreme
court, and he is highly trained in con-
STRUNG language. 1t is not necessary
to tell him that the Republican suf-
frage plank, adopted at Chicago, con-
tains suggestion that he summon the
! Connecticut legislature in special SEES
| sion in order that it may ratify the
| 10Th amendment. The plank does not
mention the Connecticut legislature by
name; it does not specify Gov. Holcomt
as an obstruction; but in hoping that
certain Republican legislatures may rat
ify the amendment, to the end that
call the women of the nation of vot
| ing age' may vote in 1920, the plank
carries the indisputable implication
that Gov. Holeomb should fall into
step and march along withthe party
| of progress.
The same observations apply to Gov
Clement of Vermont. The party ha'
