By David Lawrence (Copyright, ,1920, by Tlie Journal) Marion., Ohio, Nov. 5. President elect Harding will revert to the round rftbin, signed by the Repub licans of the United States senate in.' March, 1919, as, the basis of for eign polScy in the new administra tion. This 'plan, which has been confidentially discussed during the campaign, will be ; pui. . into effect just as soon, after , Inauguration as possible.! It has the merit of af fording a beginning in the inevita ble process of reconciliation between the various factions In .the senate. " No matter what the votes may have been on the peace treaty and covenant the round robin is the single document that all the Republican senators, both ir- reconcilabies and reservation! sts, have signed.--' Senator Borah may have re marked during the V campaign that ' .he was against all associations or alliances of any -kind, but his name was signed to the round robin, the" text of which puts him on record as favoring some kind . of ' a league of nations. . -BOOT NOT ITS FAYOB Moreover, it may be a surprise to the worlds outside of Marion, Ohio, but it is an open secret here that Elihu Root will not be secretary of state in the next ad ministration. Also it may be disclosed that Mr. j Root is not in particular high favor iere and that he will not be the minister ieixtraordlnary or high commis sioner to deal -with Europe as so many people have supposed. There is not the intimacy ; between Senator Harding and Mr. Root which has been so often sug gested as the basis for a Harding-Root team on ; foreign policy In the jiext Re publican : administration. This may be disappointing to a large number of peo ple, but ! it is nevertheless true. It is 'known, for instance, that Mr. Root Bent Senator Harding a cablegram from Lon don, thei friendliness of . which to the present League of Nations was not to the liking of the . then Republican candi date for the presidency.' ' Also there is a feeling her that Mr. Root didn't play the game during .the campaign,' and that the part he took in the formation of the international court (Concludrd on Page Two, Column Three) Point Isabel, Tex., Prepares Reception ; For President-Elect Point Isabel, Texas, Nov. 5.

" , HARDING AT OUTS HUM'S istightS Irreconcilable Group in Senate Increased From 17 to 25; De clared Enough to Block Any League Plan and Dictate Terms By Carl Smith Washington, Nov. 5. - (WASH INGTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR NAL.) With every battle for the" senate now settled in favor 'of Re publican candidates by late returns, it is apparent that the irreconcilable group led by Johnson and Borah has increased from 17 to at least 25, with others who may adhere to them. j j With this additional strength Johnson and. Borah will have powerful aid in their campaign to defeat any kind of a league. Nothing but a rallk and'water league can get their support, and , if Harding tries for a new association of nations, he will need Democratic help to put it through, which may or may not be given, according to its nature. TO PCBSCK SAME TACTICS Johnson and Borah are expected to pursue the same dragooning tactics with which they have already succeeded so well. First they scared Lodge and pre vented ratification by ,threatening a party split when an agreement was about to be had. Next they; scared, the convention at Chicago into accepting the treaty plank which was adopted. Then they scared Harding into making his famous rejection speech at Den Moines. Now they propose to hold Hard ing to the bargain and- witn added strength in the senate, they Will be able to make things interesting should the new president develop a backbone favor ing a league. EIGHT aiOEE ELECTED There are 15 irreconcilable holdover members of the senate, including three Democrats, Reed, Shields and Walsh, the latter of Massachusetts. ! Two Jrrec oncilables, Brandegee and Moses, were reelected, making 17. Eight new mem bers are regarded as irreconcilable. They are Shortridge of California, Nich olson of Colorado, Watson of Georgia, Nordick "of ' South Dakota, Harrela of Oklahoma, Gooding of . Idaho, Cameron of Arisona and Welle r of Maryland, all Republicans excepting Watson. " JOHJfSON IS CONFIDENT I - Besides , these some new senators are not positively classified and among hold over members there are. several near, ir reconcilabtes, including Wadsworth. Freelinghuysen, Sutherland, Elkinis and Dillingham. So Johnson and Borah have a hopeful prospect of controlling one third of the senate and preventing rati fication of any project that does not suit their purposes. They need only 33 to accomplish this end, even with all the pro-league . Democrats . voting against them. It io quite 'probable that some of the Democrats will not find a new plan to their liking, so, there Is ample-Justification for the confidence of Johnson and Borah that they can defeat any kind of a league. . . :t-.-r; . ;.

Neighbors' Love For President Is Displayed in Demonstration By W. It.. Atkins i ! . Washington, Nov. 5. CI. N. S.) Woodrow Wilson tpday Icnows that his neighbors still love him. If there was any doubt in his heart it was dispelled last night. Fifteen hundred of his fellow townsmen Stood House before him on the White terrace and gave- a genuine tribute of affection that must have carried a warmth of comfort to his soul: It was b tribute for Woodrow Wilson the man-!-, pathetic, yet. withal a heroic figure whose neigh bors do not look upon him as a fal len idol. The president .sat in a wheel chair on the east veranda as the i gathering swarmed about the open space and sang and cheered him.. The president, on the veranda scarcely mpre than 15 minutes, was deeply moved. His careworn fwe beamed with a faint smile of gratitude and satisfaction over this demonstration There were no speeches. Some of: the old patriotic songs were sung in a spirit that conyeyed a message more fervent and eloquent than spoken words. "Carry Me Back to Ole Virginny," sung by a sweet Voiced soprano and with the crowd joining In the refrain, seemed especially pleasing to the president. The crowd sang softly "My Country, "Tis of Thee, followed by a round of cheers.' which the. president acknowledged by ; waving his hand vigorously.' p Then, as he was carried into the execu tive mansion, he heard the resounding cheers of the visitors in response to a call for a "cheer for President Wilson the greatest man in the world.', It was given With a will. . ! v j i 15 PER CENT OF ... . .-. ! 3 !
