WILL PRESIDEtff
PEACE TREATY?
Leaders Hold Contrary Opinions
; on Probability of Wilson Open-
' mg uuns at jacKSon oanquei.
f ' jjy David Lawrence -v
' (Coprrirfit, mo.)
. Washington, Jan. 8. Should Pres
'. i Went Wilson discuss the treaty fight
; In bis letter to the Jackson day din
- ' ner of the Democratic party, which
It bcingr held here coincident with
r' the meeting" of the Democratic com
mittee?
Two views prevail those who believe
: that the silence which the president has
maintained since the pact failed of a
' two thirds vote In the Jast session of
congress should not he broken at a
purely partisan fathering, but to the
v senate; those who sat In at the Repub-
Ilcan banquets and political meeting
reoently. Including the Ohio society dtn
ner at New York, and have given the
' Impression that the president Is stand
ins; out against the so-called American
izing of the treaty and league by reser
, rations and should use the occasion o
- explain his position.
DEMOCRATS ABE ACTIYE .
Just what the president will say Is a
secret for the people that he will reserve
' till the last minute. For a supposedly
declining party, the Democrats are put
- - ting' up an even livelier front than the
..Republicans when they Were here for
their national committee meeting re
cently. Possibly It is because the Dem
, crate have a sort of free for all contest
on," and perhaps because there are to
h. nr,un aurh vittaran f lcurefl as Wil
liam Jennings Bryan and Senator Oscar
Underwood and senator ujiDcn m.
' 'Hitchcock and Attorney General Palm-
er, all of whom have made the nomlnat--,
Ing conventions of recent years very In-
v tarn.) Inr.
Anyway, the Democrats have managed
- to work up considerable interest in we
r nattnnal canltal and each and every can
didate for the Drealdency or his friends
, " are on the job talking about Issues, per

Tmt raUniutd hefnre the week Is over.
k mihii Mr. Rrvan talks about cov-
ernment ownership and argues against
' any reduction of taxes on big Dusiness
- and hits at the proposed abolition of the
right of railway employes to strike, there
' stands ip the background the biggest
issue of all the League or isauons.
Prnatdftnt Wilson la treading on deli
-eat ground. There are Republicans In
, the senate who would like nothing bet
. than a nronouncement from Mr. Wll-
la making a party matter of the treaty
controversy and that the best thing to
do la to settle It in the next campaign.
"welcome league fight
-.v i Senator Lodge himself has said that
' '-while the Republicans would not take
the initiative in making the treaty a
"party issue he and his colleagues wel
comed the opportunity to carry the mat
i ter into the campaign. "Irreconcllables,"
. as the group is called which is intent
en killing the treaty and league alto-
(etherare striving hard to get the treaty
Into the campaign, being confident that
as time roes, on and the people become
' familiar with, the Intricacies of the ques
m. tion they will vote for the men who
openly favor rejecting the treaty.
On the Democratic side one finds the
other kind of confidence and analysis of
the statu of public .opinion. . There are
Democrats who say that while they are
admittedly weak on domestic Issues ana I
uuu the people are irritatea over various
instances of mismanagement and inef
ficiency revealed by members of the
Democratic administration, the desire to
get the treaty ratified and normal bust
Bess conditions ( established would give
the Democratic strength from large num
bers of the American people who, . ir
voting on domestic affairs alone, would
not think of supporting tne jjemocraiic
ticket. !
It Is. therefore, glowJy becoming evi
dent that on both the Democratic and
Renubllcan aides there Is not each a re
luctance to let the treaty become an is
sue, unfortunate as tha result may be
for Europe and the world at large. But
as remarked before ' in these columns.
the two old line parties are considerably
more interested In their own partisan
success this year than in anything, else.
The move being made by the Demo
crats to compromise the treaty has its
elements of camouflage. The Repub
licans smilingly, cairthe Democrats' of
fer a "surrender" but at the same
time hesitate to say they will accept It.
There is some suspicion that the Dem
ocrats would be surprised and dumb
founded if the Republicans did accept
It and that they are hoping that the
Republicans will pile up a record of
refusing to compromise to as to make
good material for the campaign out
cry that the Republican party is de
laying peace.
On the other hand, there are mild
reservationists and progressives on the
Republican side who are sincerely anx
ious, to keep' the treaty out of the' cam
paign and to get It ratified at once.
Were it not for the aggressive tactics
of the other Republican group, who want
to kill the treaty, reservations, league
and all which group is making life
miserable for Senator Lodge In his ef
fort to preserve a solid front In the
ranks of his party the best Republican
move would be to accept one of these
compromise offers, get the treaty out
of the way, and focus attention on Dem
ocratic mistakes on domestic questions
that touch more closely the pocketbook
of the householder . and his vote than
anything else.
But on the subject of strategy in both
parties, much remains to be learned. The
Republicans have evidently not been- in
structed by the campaign that nearly
elected Charles Evan Hughes in 191s
and the Democrats have not y.et cleaned
house and purged themselves of the
Burlesohs and the others in their ranks
who helped lose the Democratic cam
paign In J51. But the speechmaking
and promising and condemning and
pledging and praising and pointing with
pride stuff la uppermost nowadays while
the treaty lies unacted upon and count
less measures needed to help America
weather the storm of war reconstruction
are serenely and leisurely sidetracked,
Dance Hall Manager
In Wide Open Days
At MarShfield Dies
Marshfield, Jan. 8. Word haa been
received here "of the aeath in San Fran
cisco of J. C Wilcox, formerly a resi
dent of Xorth Bend and one of the first
settlers In that city when lfwas founded.
In the wide open days he conducted a
big dance hall, saloon and gambling
room here which was known all over
the Coast. The fortune he made was
lost when he fought prosecutions which
ended In a sentence of a year in Jail.
He was pardoned by Governor Chamber
lain just before the latter left the ex
ecutive chair to become United States
senator. The passing of Wilcox's place
in North Bend was one of the last
changes in this locality from the wide
open days to the. new condition of
affairs.
