Suppe Supported by Kendrick in the Senate; Poll of Upper Legislative Body Indicates Defeat if Early Vote Is Taken. CHEYENNE, Wyo., March 3.—(Special.)—If the League of, Nations’ plan as now proposed by President Wilson ever does get be- fore the United States senate for ratification it probably will find the States and the prospect of a wave of Wyoming delegation in the upper house divided regarding it. Senator Francis E. Warren will oppose it; favor it. At least, that’s the among Cheyenne frien men, and the New Yo: scone so far as d in that way. During his recent visit to this city Senator Kendrick newspaper men here that he stron for the league and that he would do everything he could to vet the senate to act favorably upon M Wilson's ideas. While Senator War- ren may not have taken so definite a stand, it is understood that he docs not view with favor the constitution and some of the covenants of the proposed league as published some time ago. A poll of the senate taken by a representative of the Sun shows 31 members ‘lined 22 lined up for it. s of the two Sun has even ly to list them n addition 21 are listed as disposed to favor the proposition and 22 disposed to oppose it. A two-thirds vote is necess for ratification. If the vote were to be taken today, there- fore, und if only the 21 ed as fvaorable were to vote with the 31 known to be favorable, the advocates of the plan would still be 12 short of the 64 needed. But tomorrow will see the end of the present session, and when the new one convenes the Republicans will be in contral and there will be a number of new fac in the senate And Cheyenne politicians are of the opinion that the new body will be less disposed to adopt the plan than is the present one.
