TEST ON TREATY
IS |NCONCLUS|vE
WITH Il ABSENT
Robinson Amendment
Defeated S. to 30;
Party Lines Broken.
Walsh, Of Montana, Out
in Opposition Without
Lost Proviso.

i Washington March 14-After an
other stormy debate. in which possible
political consequences of the admins
tration treaty program were discussed
from several angles, the senate Tues
day rejected by division almost on
party lines, the first two of the pro-
posed amendments to the four-power
Pacific pact. ...-..
At the peak of their strength, with
II short of the full membership pres
ent and voting, the opposition to the
treaty marshaled 26 democrats and four
republican votes. three less than enough
to upset the two-thirds needed for
final ratification if all senator's partici-
pate in the vote. Leaders on both sides
conceded. however, that at best the
division was but a poor index to SEN
ate sentiment on the question Of ratifi-
cation itself.
The amendment was defeated 55 to
30. Four republicans. Borah. France,
Johnson and LaFollette, supported the
creme, Randall, Underwood and Will
liams, voted in the negative.
Walsh Definitely Opposed
Making the first definite announce
ment of his position. Senator Walsh,
democrat, Montana. told the senate he
could not vote for the four-power
treaty unless the Robinson amendment
or some similar qualification were
adopted He said he hoped to vote
for all the other arms conference
treaties.
With II votes Of the full member
ship not cast, the treaty opponents fell
short of mastering a one third and the
treaty proponents fell short Of having
a two thirds vote on the amendment
A two-thirds vote for the ratification
of the treaty will be necessary.
Senator'S McCumber, of North Da-
kota, and Lenroot, of Wisconsin. both
republicans, led off for the ratification
advocates, planning the treaty as
long step toward international under
standing and denying that it embodies
embarrassing entanglements. On the
other side, Senator Walsh, democrat,
Montana, was given right of way for
n legal argument attacking the treaty's
obligations.
Emphasizing the Importance Of the
four-power pact as an integral part OF
the arms conference program, Senator
Lenroot suggested that if ratification
of this treaty failed, President Harding
might consider withdrawing the others
produced by the conference and ask
ing for popular verdict on the whole
subject at the November election.
Failure Of All Threatened
Senator McCumber also declared
the four-power arrangement was the
key to the whole armament program,
but asked what had become of the
republican campaign pledge of 1890
for an Association of nations en-
bracing the entire world in its scope.

Despite the denial by Attorney

in republican circles that President
Harding will decline second nomi-

the scramble for the republican nom
nation will bas fierce as that for
the democratic gonfalon.
But even IL President Harding
should not decline the nomination
there Is reason to believe that he
will not lack opposition at the re-
publican convention. Senator Hiram

Tuesday received an Overwhelming
vote for reelection, is coming back
to Washington in a militant mood.
Hiram johnson Is not man who

Volstead is 6drier'' than Volstead.
The fly in the prohibition ONT
ment, however, is the fact that the
next chairman of the judiciary com
mittee. which controls prohibition
legislation, will be George 8. Graham
of Pennsylvania. Graham is openly
out of sympathy with extreme pro-
hibition statutes.
Originally n "Wet."
Nolstead, personally and tempera-
mentally, is an interesting character
When he came to Washington, he
was an =prohlbitionist. Eventual
iy he became chairman OF the ju-
dietary committee, and that commit
tee was charged with the prepare
tien of a bill TO enforce the consti-
tutional amendment.
Volstead proceeded to his task most
seriously. He was conscientious TO
such an extent that he leaned back
ward" He went further it is claimed,
than he would have but for the fact
that he was not inherently an adj
vocate of prohibition. Afterwards, he
fought valiantly for annul appropria-
tions for the payment of prohibition
officers, and suffered stoicaIly the
glbes OF virulent prohibitionists
OF the Representative Gallivan type.
Velstead also became a stanch
"standpatter." He was entirely out OF
sympathy with impeachment proceed
ings brought by Representative
Woodruff against Attorney General
Daugherty, and which we're referred
to his committee. His contention that
there was nothing in the case might
have given impetus to the tide rising
against him at home.
Not An Atheist
Two years ago, Volstead, at the
polls. was defeated by the Rev. o. J.
Kvale, but Volstead contested the
election en- the ground that the cam
paign charge of the preacher that
he. tNolstead). was an atheist I'M
fairly redounded to his disadvantage.
1t was proved that the preacher had
made the charge. that 1t had had eff
feet, and that it was not entirely
true. Volstead is not regular" In his
religious devotions, 1t is said. but she
does believe In God, II Is claimed.
In appearance this man whose
name is known throughout the coun-
try is most ordinary; thin. tall. al

and bald. He is quiet. modest. un-
