William .1. ltryau split openly with the president on that ijltestion. The former secretary of state, three times a candidate for the presidency, and a power in Ids party, declares five Democrats could tint go lie tore tin* country on the issue, and that they must accept: such compromises as may lie possible. The |ircsident's message said nothing whatever about a tliirid term for him self, and neither did it say even by im plication or intimation that, he would not he a candidate, as had liecn widely forecast. Most all of the president's i message was devoted to an expression of Ids argument of why lie considered if the duty of the I’nited States to join in the league of nations covenant and why he considered the war not really won until it did. Another attempt to crush the new nations of Europe would he made, the president said, if the Enitisl States held aloof. The president again expressed his attitude toward reservations, much us he did at his conference with the Sen ate foreign relations committee, in this language: "if (he Senate wishes to say what the undoubted meaning of the treaty is I shall have no objection There can he no reasonable objection to in terpretations accompanying the act of ratification itself. Itm when the treaty is acted upon I must know whether it means that we have ratified or rejected] it.
