DEMOCRATS FEEL ' OPTIMISTIC OVER COMING ELECTION (Continued from Page One.) aa a class ths womea will oppose a bonus based on the drinking of beer and wine.' Mint Alice Robertson, member of Congress, says she does not like to eommlt herself before there ia debate la Congrets on the matter. The odd, a seen here, ate against a boaua bated upon legalis ing th tale of beer aad wine, j Poor-Power Treaty Th talk her ia regard to the four power Pacific pact hinges largely about th matter of Reservations" which would clarify the (ituatioa with regard to Japan and It "insu lar possession' and which would definitely atat that Ameriran soldiers would not be sent into the islands of the Pacific in ease war ia mad by some power upon Ja paa. The Insistence of Senator Lodge for reeervatioBS on the Ver sailles treaty and th reservation which he offered were held by Presi dent Wilson to be of such a nature a to kill the treaty, and Lodg kept up hi fight till that treaty Was kill ed. The situation now show Sena tor Lodge oa the other aid of th question, for it is a treaty that he Is said to have brought into being that is. beinar attacked with reserva tions, sad Senator Lodge say that the reservations will kill tht treaty, In North Carolina, at la th rest of the country, It can be well repeated. "There ia retribution ia history," for there Is retribution ahead for Senator Lodge.

Senator Hitchcock, who at first spoke oat la favor of ratification, now takes the position that he ia open-minded about the treaty and will await the whole pro gram of the conference before hs definitely commits himself. Oppoel tloa to it continues to grow because of the atatement from Secretary Hughes that its wording mesas that the "mainland" of Japaa ia included ia the term "insular possessions" aad that this mainland would b so considered ia any agreements for action ia defense of Japaa. The am blguity about the treaty, tats to great as to have confused President Harding himself, it workiing against it aad ia Strengthening the oppoti tion. But even with thi it teem certain that if the treaty eonld reach a vote ia th Beasts right now it would esrry.
