Favors Lodge Reservations
"I believe that wa should accept the
league of nations as modified by the
existing Lodge reservations; reserva?
tions which leave America absolutely
free and untrammeled to follow tho
will of her own people in all questions
of foreign and domestic policy.
"I am in favor and shall continue to
be in favor of the well-established for?
eign pohcy of this government which
conservos and protects the interests of
our own country. I do not think this
treaty with the reservations impairs
that pohcy; it does not entangle* us;
it leaves us free to exercise our own
judgment; it is temporary if we choosc
to have it so; we can retire on two
years notice. We desire to be ready
to help a world in trouble whenever we
think it is right. But we are the ones
and must always be the ones to de
cide when it is right."
A consideroble percentage of the
Brooklyn delegates to the Chicago con?
vention will shape their voting attitude
by the result of the Ohio primaries
April 27. The Buckeye State will send
lorty-eight delegates to Chicago. Sen?
ator Harding's friends say that he will
nave a solid delegation. Governor
Lowden, of Illinois, will not enter the
Ohio primaries. The fight is between
Wood and Harding. A Brooklyn dele?
gate in discussing the Ohio situation
yesterday with a Tribune reporter said:
"Harding ought to make a clean
sweep of the forty-eight votes in his
s^tate. If General Wood should get
from eight to sixteen of those dele?
gates after a straightout fight with
Harding, it will mean that Wood will
he nominated at Chicago, probably on
the second and not later than the third
ballot.
Ohio Is the Test
"If Wood makes no impression on
the Harding lines, no one can tell the
outcome in the convention. I believe
that a large percentage of the New
\ ork delegates, perhaps as much as
half of them, will regard the fight in
Ohio as a decisive thing. We are nll
human and like to pick a winner. Be?
cause of the Roosevelt sentiment be?
hind General Wood in this state, I look
to see him get a large percentage of
rhe New York deiegation. He may get
tho entire eighty-cight votes on the
lirst ballot, if Wood captures a dozen
of the forty-eight in Ohio. Ohio af
;'ords the vital test of strength of both
Wood and Harding.''
The Wood managers yesterday re?

Five Socialists
To Know Fate
By March 27
Ex-Senator Brown Ooses
Argument for Prosecution
and Committee Will Begin
Work on Report Tuesday
Final Speech Lacks Fire
Socialist Party, Rather
Than Men Facing Trial,
Condemned by Speaker
From a Staff Correspondent
ALBANY, March 9.?Shortly before 7
o'cloek this evening, when ex-Senator
Elon R. Brown closed the summlng up
of the prosecution in the trial of the
five ouBted Socialist Assemblymen
Louis M. Martin, chairman of the As?
sembly Judiciary Committee, formally
declared the investigation at an end.
Later he said he would not call the
committee together to draft a report
or reports to be submitted to the As?
sembly until next Tuesday.
"It is probable that the remainder of
next week will be taken up with ex?
ecutive sessions and the drafting of
reports," <said Chairman Martin. "1 i
expect that the flndings of tho com?
mittee will be presented to the As?
sembly not later than the following
Monday night. I do not believe that I
the House will debate the finding for |
more than two or three days, so tho j
verdict ought to be arrived at before
the end of the same week."
Decision by March 27
That would mean that the fate of the
five Assemblymen?August Claessens,
Charles Solomon, Louis Waldman,
Samuel De Witt and Samuel Orr?will
be decided on or before March 27.
Those who expected to hear Senator
Brown in his summing up to-day at?
tempt to pin personal guiit upon the
ousted men were disappointcd. Like
Martin Conboy, he attacked the So?
cialist party as disloyal, treasonable
and revolutionary.
From this indietment of a party, he
argued that the men on trial were
traitors, disloyalists and revolution
aries. He condemned "Claessens and
Algernon Lee and the Rand School and
all the tribe of traitors that infest it."
He said that tho Socialist party in
America before the war was different
from what it is now, and that it was
now an outlaw organization, not a po?
litical party in any sense of the word.
Of the five men on trial he said:
"These men have taken their lives
in their hands for the purpose of ov
erthrowing the government, for the
purpose of demonstrating to this peo?
ple that national patriotism is sham,

now happens to be the head, for the
purpose of enabling the proletariat, of
which they claim to be the Iead'?rs, to

that makes them traitors to their

"They say that there have been thinfja

havo violated the very rule which they
accuse us of violating, namely in select?

reach.
"They havo ransacked the history of
the Republia to find haif a dozen

whcre by statosinen of generations ago
Because haif a dozen of them said un
patriotic things at that time is no cx
cuso for a whole party organizing to
carry out an unpatriotic purpose now."
The Speaker closed with a plea that
all five be expelled, maintaining that
they were disqualified from tnking the
oath of oftke to begin with and that
their presence in the Assembly was
merely a blind to cover up their real
purpose, which, he said, was the over
throy of the government.
When the case was closed to-night,
the last pago of the typewritten report
was numbered 4.G88. Averaging 225
words to the page, this indicated that
1,054,800 words of testimony bad been
taken. The voluminous exhibits, it is

Lowden Bids
Capital Start
Expense Cuts
Easier to Demobilize an
Army Than One Office
Girl in Washington, He
Tells Kings Republicans
National Budget Urged
lllinois Governor Fears
U. S. Faces Bankruptcy;
Calls for Rigid Economy
"It is easier to demobilize 4,000,000
soldiers trained for battle than to de?
mobilize one office girl in Washington."
Thus Governor Lowden of lllinois
Rummed up the situation with regard
to the large number of unnccessary
boards and commisslons in tho nafoon's
capital in an address la3t night under
the auspices of the Kings County Re?
publican Committee at Kismet Temple
in Brooklyn.
His remarks, in which he declared
for a "reconstruction in Washington.
if there is to be reconstruction
throughout the country," and a "cen
tralization of the power of handlingthe
nation's finances," were greoted with
upplause from an audience of 1,000,
composed largely of women.
Anti-Dry Action Asked
Preeeding Governor Lowden's address
a resolution was offered to the Repub?
lican County Committee by Assembly?
man Warren I. Lee, in which it was pro?
posed that the committee go on record
as favoring action which would tend
to modify the Federal prohibition
amendment and permit the sale and
manufacture of light wines and beer.
The resolution was referred to a com
miteo without a vote.
Tax Evil Is Shown
"One of the greatest evils to-day is
tlie high cost of living. Taxation han a
direct relation to that. I don't care
how clever ? Congress miyte, lt has
not the genius to frame laWj so that
excess profit taxes and infuta* taxes
will not be partly botnajhy the con
sumer.
"You can't reduce th* nigh cost of
living until you reduce t1 o cost of gov?
ernment, and you can1 reduce taxes
until you reduce tho Is gh cost of gov?
ernment."
"We talk mueh a* >ut reeonstructon
and readjustmemfc, j . ,Want to tell you
that the place to ' -gin reconstruction
is at Washington if we would return
to normai cdndit' ns. That can only be
done by tho apf cation to administra?
tion of busin is principles, so that
economy and' tflciency may be united
in govornmer ., so that it may perform
the healthfi.i functions for which it^
was design>d, without continuing to be
a burden tipon the enterprises and in
dustrie* of this country. When reform
ls begun there its influence will begin
to radiate to the remotest corner of
our Republic.
"Even before tho war," Governor
Lowden said, "the expenditures of
government had mounted so rdpidly
that they were becoming a matter of
very serious concern to our people.
In the year immediately preceding the
war the estimates submitted by the de
partments of the government for tho en
suing fiseal year aggregated something
like $1,100,000,000. That sum was
viewed nt the time with much con?
cern. Appaling even as it was, the esti?
mates submitted recently by these
samo departments for the ensuing
iiscal year total more than four times
that immense amount. This is a
serious business proposition which our
country must face if it is to avoid the
rocks of bankruptcy."

McAdoo's Name to Remain
On Ballot in Michigan
LANSING, Mich., March 9.?Secre?
tary of State Vaughan to-day informed
William G. McAdoo that his name could
not bo withdVawn from the Presidential
preference ballots in the April pri
mary. Mr. McAdoo had requested that
his name be stricken from the list of
Democratic candidates "because of the
feeling that the primary was an attempt
to forestall the action of the national
convention."
While the former Secretarw of the
Treasury stated he had no thought of
criticizing a candidate who sou_yht to
bind delegates to himself, it was his
conviction, he said, "that the national
convention should be permitted to
record its unfettered judgment as to
the most available man to lead the
party."
