The movement for a voting agree.
ment developed Thursday in confer
ence Of Democratic senators who de-
clared unanimously against the Repub-
ican plan for night sessions and
authorized overtures by Senator Under
wood to the Republicans for voting
agreement. The Democrats reaffirmed
their stand against making ratification
a party question and left each senator
free to vote as he shall. determine.
In. the effort to agree upon date
for voting on ratification, Chairman
Penrose, Of the finance committee, in
charge of the tax bill, agreed to give
way to the treaties, stating he believed
it would operate actually to expedite
his measure.
The only address in the senate on
the treaties Thursday was by Senator
Watson, Democrat, Georgia, who op-
posed ratification because he said he
believed it would drag the United States
into the league of nations and Europ-
can entanglements.
Ever since President Harding's in
auguration, Senator Watson declared,
the nation has been drifting irresist-
IDLY" on the league.
He also contended that the treaties
failed to provide for release Of Amer
lean citizens who had violated the
espionage laws. Referring apparently
to Eugene V. Debs, he said man was
serving a 10 year sentence in the
Atlanta penitentiary for repeating his
(Mr. Watson's) words.

prospect Thursday night after Re

sent agreement drafted by Senator

order of the senate providing for such
a program and all factions expressed
the opinion that the agreement would
be reached.
Announcement Of the negotiations
was made in the senate by Senator
Lodge and with the discussions show
ing evidences of success, the Repub-
licans dropped their plan for night
session. Senator Lodge intimated, how
ever, that should the agreement be
blocked, he would return to the night
session drive for ratification. He said
he had "every reasonable hope" of
reaching an agreement and Senator
Underwood. the Democratic leader also
said an agreement had been "prac
tically reached. and was ready for
consummation Thursday.
Involved in the program is pro-
posal that should any senator desire
to debate the treaties the tax revision
bill would be laid aside temporarily. It
is expected, however, that the tax
measure actually will be before the
senate most of next week, with the
