Parallel to Napoleon I Striking. Democrats Study Proposal Not many Democrats had had an opportunity tonight to study the new Republican proposal, and It was uncertain how much support it would command from that side of the chamber. Some senators predicted, however, that it might have the effect of softening the resentment of the administration over the Republican Article X reservation and win over enough Democratic votes to ratify the treaty. A claim of further gains In breaking down administration resistance was made on the Republican side during the day and some leaders were asserting tonight that the roll call would show a total very close to the required to ratify with the Republican reservations. It is understood to be the purpose, if ratification falls, to reconsider and take a second vote in the hope that after they have made their record of opposition, a handful more of the Democratic senators will leave the administration's lead and save the treaty from another failure.
