...have had him dead and others considered his species extinct; but now comes a persistent rumor that he is to return, groomed and fit, the "dark horse" of the next Presidential Derby in 1924.

Futile hindrances and delays on the part of Senator Borah and his followers, however, will eliminate the tremendous prestige that would be given to the treaties if confirmed immediately. Swift ratification would have much the effect of a great approving public referendum on the work of the conference, and the influence of immediate ratification on other countries can hardly...
