Resubmission of Treaty Is
Considered Likely.
FILIBUSTER WOULD ENSUE
UlocUins of Pressing Reconstruc
tion Legislation Would Bo In.
evltablc, Say leaders.
THE OREGOXIAX NEWS BTTHEATT,
VTashington. Nov. 13. Intimations
that President Wilson intends resub
mitting the peace treaty to the senate
when congress reconvenes three
weeks from next Monday causes some
misgiving among- political leaders.
The friends of the treaty are Just as
anxious as its enemies that the league
covenant shall not be 'made an issue
'in the short session which adjourns
by statute on March 4.
The reason is that the precipita
tion of the treaty controversy would
most surely block all other legisla
tion, including' the passage of the
supply bills. Leaders in congress say
that the reappearance of the treaty
would mean such a filibuster in the
senate as has never been witnessed
to this time. Senators Borah and
Keed and one or two other irrecon
cllables are determined that there shall
be no chance to ratify the Versailles
treaty, carrying- the league covenant,
and by reason of the briefness of the
coming- session should accomplish
their purpose with but little diffi
culty. Democrats are hinting that the
president Is so eager to see the treaty
and league ratified in some form be
fore the close of his administration
that he Is willing to set democratic
senators who have stood by him in
the past free to vote for almost any
kind of reservations. This is what
the irreconcilable fear and they are
understood to have agreed that their
weapon on another occasion, if the
fight has to be made again, will be
the old-time filibuster.
Such a filibuster would place 'be
fore the new. republican congress, to
be called into session early next
spring by President Harding, an im
pdssible task. It is the hope of repub
lican leaders to get all routine legis
lation out of the way at the' short
session, including the appropriation
bills and possibly a measure for fur
ther restriction of immigration. In
order to clear the track at the extra
session for exclusive reconstruction
measures and a peace resolution.
Hi Programme Outlined.
All of the reconstruction legislation
blocked by President Wilson, either
Dy tnreat or veto. Is on the pro
gramme for early passage In the ex
tra session. The budget bill is one
of the first measures planned for
consideration. Mr. Wilson vetoed
this bill after it was passed. A re-,
vision of the tariff is regarded as
necessary and that action must be
prompt. Free tolls for American
coastwise shipping through the Pan
ama canal is another measure to be
taken up. and western senators and
representatives are getting ready to
press a comprehensive scheme for
reclamation of arid lands.
Five different reclamation plane
now are under consideration by Sen
ator McNary of Oregon, chairman of
tire senate committee on Irrigation,
and representative Sinnott, chairman
of the house committee on public
lands, has some proposals to make
for. putting water on the dry lands
of the west.
Tot Problems Related. -'It
is more than likely that irriga
tion legislation will be coupled
strongly with measures for aiding the
veterans of the late war. Senator
Borah has a bill already reported out
of. the senate committee on public
lands which would appropriate $300,
000.000 for soldier settlements on re
claimed lands, f50.000.000 to become
available each year. This bill is sure
to become a part of one great general
scheme for development of the ex
pansive deserts of the west.
A series of conferences will be held
Monday by' Chairman McNary of the
senate Irrigation committee wtth irri
gation experts and engineers to get
their views on the best plans for
reclamation. He will confer also with
financial experts on methods of fi
nancing the proposed new irrigation
projects.
As to ratification of the treaty at
the short session, should President
Wilson yield to' the Lodge reserva
tions, some express doubt that favor
able action could now be" had even
should no filibuster materialize. The
election results are said to have con
verted many of the so-called mild
rcservatlonists into strong reserva
tionists. and public statements made
by several senators since the election
Indicate a shifting of position.
For example. Senator McC umber of
North Dakota, the stalwart repub
lican friend of the Wilson league
says that the treaty as written is
dead and that a new deal is neces
sary. Senator Denroot had such a
difficult time In his campaign for re
election in behalf of ratification with
saving reservations that he is ex
pected to come back demanding an
association of nations after the ideas
of Senator Harding rather than the
adoption of any large part of the Wil
son document.
Administration Near End.
The Wilson administration for the
rest of Its brief existence will with
draw from participation in interna
tional politics. This decision has
been reached following the over
whelming repudiation of the adminis
tration by the voters of the country
in the election, and it was exempli
fied in the ueclsion reached by the
United States government relative to
tbe agreement made by Italy and
Jugo-Slavla at the conference at Ka
pallo, Italy.
This arrangement, which disposes
of tbe Question of Flume, is regarded
as one of the latest overthrows of
the international programme insisted
upon by President Wilson at Ver
sailles. In spite of this fact, the
administration in Washington will
regard the incident as closed, stand
lng upon the president's note In
which he said h would accept any
programme urged by the two parties
interested which did not infringe
upon the rights of a third party,
presumably Albania.
The agreement Itself Is believed to
have been reached as a result of the
elections in the United States, which
demonstrated that the Incoming ad
ministration would not support the
position of President Wilson In re
gard to Fiume and other questions
at issue.
palgn four years ago with a deficit
of over twice the present sum. But
they were successful then, and a suc
cessful party need have no trouble
about meeting a deficit. By that
same token the republicans might
now have a deficit over five times
the democrats a deficit of tl. 600,000.
But the republicans are the successful
party. It Is the democrats who should
worry.
I don't doubt that If the, democrats
had the necessary machinery they
could make up their deficit of $300,000
through small contributions .from a
large number of individuals. There
arelenty of loyal democrats, but the
trouble Is the democratic national
committee Is not in a good state of
organization and has not got the
rather elaborate mechanism which
alone can collect large sums in small
contributions. Under these circum
stances, and being pressed for the
money, as they undoubtedly are. the
democratic organization will prob
ably turn to those of their friends
who are rich and generous. And
when you seek out democrats who
are rich and generous, you are apt to
find them among the friends of Mr.
McAdoo.
McAdoo Is Nearest Gness.
It would be a reasonable guess that
whatever changes take place In the
democratic organization will be in
the direction of placing Mr. McAdoo's
friends in the saddle and of giving
to Mr. McAdoo as much dominating
leadership as any one person is likely
to hold In the near future.
Mr. McAdoo is the nearest guess
that can be made at this moment as
to a presidential possibility in 1924.
Undoubtedly Mr. McAdoo's friends
entertain this ambition for party
leadership; undoubtedly also Mr.
Bryan's friends and Mr. Bryan him
self entertain tbe same ambition for
Mr. Bryan, with due respect and af
fection for Mr. Bryan and with due
care to avoid seeming to Issue Invi
tations to what must be no less than
the sixth political funeral at which
Mr. Bryan has been - the subject of
the obsequies, I feel sure that there
are no probable circumstances ahead
under which Mr. Bryan is likely to
resume the leadership of the demo
cratic party.
Cox Is of the Past.
As to Cox continuing in leadership,
that is hard to see.
Cox is intelligent enough to know
that as a leader of the democratic
party he is completely of the past,
as Alton B. Parker became when he
suffered an even less conspicuous de
feat IS years ago. Not only Is Cox
impossible as a leader by the crush
ing quality of-nis defeat; in addition
to this, those elements within the
democratic party who got the nom
ination for Cox are in the deepest
sort of disfavor. One of those who
brought about Cox's nomination is
Murphy of New Tork, and Murphy is
charged with having laid down on
the party in the election.
What is true of Murphy Is in a de
gree also true of Nugent of New Jer
sey and Brennan of Chicago. This
particular group of leaders won't be
permitted to have a hand in naming
the next democratic candidate for the
presidency, if it can be prevented by
other elements.
"Wtd" Were Disappointed.
It is probably true that Cox per
sonally was not always tied up to
those leaders as close as he at first
seemed. Undoubtedly these men. when
they nominated Cox. did so with the
thought that they could rely on him
not to veto any modification of the
prohibition law in the ' direction of
greater "wetness." It is apparent,
however, that when the campaign got
under way Cox declined to take a po
sition as "wet" as they hoped he
would. Nevertheless, Cox, of all the
possibilities for democratic leadership
now in sight, is the least likely.
In connection with Cox and prohi
bition, one of the most Interesting
episodes of the recent campaign is
still a little obscure. If Cox, together
with those others who know the facts
and have the documents, should see
fit to let them become public, this
episode would probably turn out to
have a good deal of bearing on the
question of future leadership of the
party. .
Story' Is Good One.
The story Is this:
"The democrats in the early stages
of tbe campaign were desperately
hard pressed for money. When the
train was hired to tak Cox on his
long trip from New York to the Pa
cific coast and back the democratic
organization was unable to pay the
bill In advance. The railroad com
pany accommodatingly agreed to take
the money in installments, but said
the train could not leave New Tork
until an advance of $7500 was paid.
That sum was not in the democratic
treasury, and Senator Pat Harrison
of Mississippi, who was in temporary
charge of headquarters at the time,
had to do some energetic hustling
to get the sum together in time to
let the train start on schedule.
"Under these conditions, an offer
was received to. raise a campaign
fund of $1,600,000. provided a certa'n
condition -was compliedwith. I have
never known accurately the names of
all who united in this offer, but I
understood that the group included
Allan Ryan of New Tork, Thomas L.
Chadbourne of New York and - ex
Senator Clarence Watson of West
Virginia. These three, and the others
associated with them, were fully able
to make good on the offer. . I under
stood that Mr. Ryan alone was will
ing to be responsible for $500,000." -
President Advises Candidate.
The condition named was that Cox
in one of bis speeches in "the far
west should announce himself "bone
dry" and should pledge himself to
veto any act of congress tending to
make the present prohibition law less
dractic - A telegram to this effect
was sent to Cox. At the same time,
I understand. President Wilson was
told of the incident. Mr. Wilson, it
la said, wired Governor Cox In strong
language urging him to turn the
offer down. In any event Cox did

turn it down, and the party organi
zation dragged along; In the same
state of lmpecunioslty.
It might be Inferred that Governor
Cox's reason for turning down this
offer lay In his being opposed to
prohibition on principle, or being
opposed to it on grounds of political
expediency, or in feeling that by em
bracing these new friends he might
be offending older friends whose
interests were "wet, but a' much
more creditable inference is actually
believable. It can be inferred that
Governor Cox may have refused the
offer on (he ground that it would be
improper tor mm to pledge nimseir
In advance to veto or not -to veto
any specific act of congress.
In any event the story is one of
the most Interesting of the campaign

Cox and George White, which con
tain the story, ought to be made
public if for no other reason than
to settle a doubt which arises out
of the different versions given by
