this afternoon was the signal for aj

SSUE BEFORE TRE PEOPLE AT
PRESIDENTIAL POLLS IN FALL
I f Lodge Fails to Line Up Two-Thirds Majority Needed to Ap-
prove Covenant with Republican Reservations; Next
Fight to Be on Declaration of State of Peace with
Central Powers ; Comes Up Monday
WASHINGTON. March 19. 1920. The treaty of Versailles failed of
ratification for the fourth time tonight and Iben the senate voted tp
send it back to President Wilson with the notification that it had fi
nally "refused to consent to its ratification." On the decisive roll call
the vote was 49 for ratification and 35 against. tie opposition number
ing in its ranks 20 Democrats, who were unwilling to see the treaty go
through with the Republican reservations objected to by the president,
and three Democratic and 12 Republican irreconcilables. Twenty-one
Democrats quit the president's lead and voted for ratification, bit
the defection failed by seven votes of providing the two-thirds requisite
to ratify.
The lepult was regarded every
where in the capital as having put
over Into the political campaign for
decision the long and bitter fight over
the treaty. A move to reconsider the
vote and try once more to ratify col
lapsed in its inception, leaders on
both sides agreeing that further rat
ification efforts would be a waste of
time as long as the senate member
ship remains as it is.
Whether the president would re
turn the treaty to the senate re
mained undetermined, but the Repub
licans sened notice that if he did.
it would repose for many weeks to
come in a committee pigeon hole.
In the vote of 47 to 37. by which the
senate washed its hands of the sub-'
ject and sent to the White House the
treaty, the Republicans had the sup -
port of the mild reservationists. as
well as the ' irreconcilables of their
party, while the Democrats voted al-
most solidly in opposition.
The next step planned by the
senate majority is a declaration
of a state of peace to relieve the
nation of the war status, which
the Democrats maintain can be
ended only by the treaty's ratifi
cation. '
A fight on that proposal probably
will begin when
the senate reeon-
vrnes Monday.
came
The roll call on ratification
four months, almost to the hour, after
the failure of three attempts at rati
fication on November 19. On that
occasion the greatest strength de
veloped for ratification with the Re
publican reservations was 41 votes,

Republicans in the affirmative. The

Irreconcilables and administra
