Fie EADERS cf the Republican Party are reported to be much ‘ fl worried over the chances of electing a Republican majority of the United States Senate next year. Causes for their worry are not far to seck. “Before there can bé any substantial change in present prices,” declared Senator Hitchcock this week, “we will have to get rid o! the war.” » “There can be no relief from the railroad situation until the treaty is ratified. We cannot extend our foreign trade and . Feopen our relations with Europe without the consent of the Reparations Commission. We would have to negotiate a sepa- ‘ rate treaty with Germany and would be alone in the enforce- ‘ment of our new demands, “Unless the United States becomes a party to the treaty ‘we will be isolated politically, industrially and economically.” The reason and common sense of an overwhelming majority of Americans convince them that Senator Hitchcock speaks plait truth. ‘The opposition that is holding up ratification of the treaty is Republican opposition. The obstacles that impede this country from prompt enjoyment of its rightful place and share in peace and in the prosperity of peace are Republican obstacles, Does national awaredness of these facts favor the immediate future of the Republican Party? No wonder Republican leaders are troubled! . i ‘The Boatd of Aldermen is expected to vote $100,000 to-day to build o grandstand that will seat 25,000 for the parade of the First Division and the city’s welcome to Gen.
