MORE DEMOCRATS DRY LAW DEFIED BY FOR RESERVATIONS MICHIGAN COUNTY Peace Treaty Reservations Iron Carried By More Than Two-Thirds Vote, Wasbington.--The first of the reser. rations attached to the peace treaty last November was readopted unchaflg ed and by an increased majority in the senate after the treaty's irreconcilable opponents, holding the balance of I power, bad balked the efforts of repub. [ lican and democratic leaders to obtain I modification in the interest of com-[ promise. The outcome, although involving the defection of four more democratic sen- ators from the ranks of those who have stood against all reservations, gener- ally was accepted by all elements in the senate as tightening the treaty deadlock and bringing the question of ratification one step nearer the politi- cal campaign. The reservation on which the senate acted relates to withdrawal from mere- in the league. The vote on its i i bershlp I adoption was 45 to 20, 10 democrats] joining the solid republican lineup sup- ! porting it. Four of theseSenators I Ashurst (Arizona), Fletcher (Florida), Henderson (Nevada) and Nugent (Ida- ho)--have stood on all previous roll- calls steadfastly against b.ny qualifica- tion of the treaty. It was by a bare maJoffty, 33 to 32, that the senate rejected the change in the reservation framed by republican leaders and submitted by Senator Lodge as part of his compromise plan. In addition to the four democrats who swung over to reservations for the first time, the members of the minor- lty party voting to adopt the with- drawal qualification were Senators Chamberlain, Oregon; Gore, Oklaho- ma; Myers, Montana; Shields, Tennes- see; Smith, Georgia, and Trammell, Florida. The result, 45 to 20, showed two-thirds of the senators present vot- ing together for the first time since the treaty fight began.
