E. POWELL , , (By BpecUl Leased .Wire.) Washington, April 17. The Demo- c ratio party aerer had such an oppor tunity to recover th House and Men- ate and. sleet a president this fan ss they have at th present time", said Senator Lee fi. Overman, ranking mem ber of two of th biggest and most im portant committees of the BenttCp- ap propriation aad Judiciary and a pic turesque figure la the upper branch of Congress. . , The Senator bases hi opinion on th apparent hopeless disagreement within the ranks of th .Republican party for the presidential nomination, the League of Nation, and many other questions of less importance. He contends that th Republican party is aplit almost to smithereens at the present time because of the bitter fight being waged between Wood and Johnson, representing 4he progressiva or ''Bull Moos" element of the party and Low den and Harding, who are of the reactionary Boies Pen rose type. Republican f sol Boneless There was never a time . when the Bcpubliean felt so hopeless regarding th presidental election. Many leading men within th Republican rank, are of the opinion that th chances are mor than eves that a third party will result from th Republican convention at Chicago in- June. In such event the G.
