W'th the understanding that there

Senator Spencer, of Missouri, chairman

the advice of his family and friends,
who do not want him to speak on ac-
count Of his health, insists on appear
ing. number or democratic Sen
ators are preparing questions which
they intend to submit to the Senator.
Senator Newberry, in the opinion of
Senate leaders, will retain his seat
though the vote, as they admit, may be
close. AS Senator Ncwbcrry and his
friends in the Senate figure it, he will
get from so to 81 votes out of total
of 96, but they say this may be shaded
down. There are 60 Republicans and
Sc Democrats in the Senate. Thirty
five of the Democrats, all but Watson
Of Georgia, arc expected to vote
against Newbcrry. Six Republicans,
Borah, Kenyon, LaFollette, Ladd, Nor
ris and Norbcck, arc certain to vote
against him. This makes Al votes Ger

himself will not -ote, and Senator's
Poindexter and Hiram Johnson, now
in the West, are expected by the New

basis, the vote would stand Al to 80.
but there arc uncertain factors which
may change this materially.
Senator'S Jones, Of Washington, and
Willis, Of Ohio, may vote against New

against him up to forty three. Several

when. the Senator to fill the vacancy

ohould the four just mentioned be alb

result would be, rs the friends OF Sen

vation which would be demanded is
that there must be an absolute uade r.

There is no indication tonight As 20
whether the dispatches of to-day AZ

to attend the Cannes conference vii
have any effect upon the American
attitude. The opinion already has
been freely expressed that this country

Harding to Make Farmer
Reserve Board Member
President Says Such an Ap-
pointment Will Come When
Opportunity Presents Itself

From Tho Tribune Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The Presi-
dent has no objection to making a
farmer a member of the Federal Re
serve Board, it was learned at the
Whlte House to-day. He believes agri.
culture should be represented on the
board and Indicated that he will name
a farmer when the opportunity pre-
scnts itself
Another consideration that weighs
heavily with the President in MAKING
the decision is that he feels it his duts
to carry out party platform pledge
Of 1920. He does not incline to the
belief. however, that the President
should be bound by law to appoint
class representatives to the Federal
Reserve Board or any similar govern
ment agency.
He has no objection to a change in
the present Federal reserve law that
would include "agriculture" in general
terms.
The Presidents attitude was made
known to-day following reported
clashes between Mr. Harding and the
agricultural "bIoc" in the Senate on
the question Of placing farmer on
the board. 1t was made clear that the
president has not sent word to the
Capitol that he will veto the bill pro
posed by the more radical element of
the farm bloc"
The President at recent confer
ence with the leaders of the "bloc"
told the Senators that he was in sv,n
pathy with the purpose Of the legisla
ton, but declined to have his hands

the Conference is in danger of being lost
sight of during the interminable discus

now the WatchWord at Lausanne. The
Straits problem has practically been set

al economic and financial subjects have
found their essent al solutions. The per-
sistent dragging in of several thorny
points, such as the deportation of the
Glcek Patriarch, the Mosul Oil dispute
and the difficulty over foreign tribunals
IN Turkey is checking the forward swing
of the Conference, hence the decision to
put on paper the accomplished facts.
The Russians have been practically obi
terated as a conference factor, but have
again con- planned that they are beng ig-
nored. They recently protested that they
were being systematically shut out of the
Straits discussion and have written an
other note to the President, remarking

WOMEN VOTERS, PLEASE
NOTICE

(From the Vergennes Vermonter)
Miss Carrie w. Ormsbee of Bran
don, president of the League of
Women Voters Of Vermont, has been
scrutinizing the records of Candi-
dates Foote and Proctor while in the
Senate. Of course, she finds them
both clean, but notes that Senator
Foote voted for, Senator Proctor
against, a bill to give women the
same right as men in voting for pres
idential electors and their votes were
cast in the same way as to a bill
extending the right of suffrage to
women, providing for a referendum
thereon" Summing up, President
Ormsbee says:
Whatever their estimate of the
character and abilities of the two
men may lead. them to decide as to
their vote at the primary election.
Lieut.-Governor Foote deserves and.
am sure, has the gratitude of all
those who believe in the immense pos
sibilities for good inherent in the
vote of women and in the primary.
for he has on every possible occasion
consistently advocated and supported
participation of women in civic
affairs and also the adoption and re-
tentiOn of the primary"
