(United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph. —Copyright ) AAIERICAN POLITICS. (Received tins day at. 9.30 a.in.) WASH UxTON, July 1. Senator llorali, who is Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee indicated the multi-lateral antiwar treaty, if signed during the summer, would likely receive the earliest ■aar.lfidoratioii when the Senate was eon veiled next winter. He refused to express an opinion relative to tlie Treaty’s possible reception, but declared he anticipated no serious light against ratification. Tlie news that followers of ex-Govor-nor Bowden for Republican nominee are now inclined to rally to Air Hoover, had a heartening effect at Hoover headquarters. While there is no indication that the Lxnvdeu group, which battled valorously for farm relief will offer active support, there is a conviction in their minds that nothing will lie gained by leaving the Republican Party.

Congressman ATarton Hull who advised Hoover on the change of attitude by Bowden's followers, explained : “So far as agriculture is concerned there is nothing on offer in the Democratic platform, which offers an advantage over Republican. The American fanner appreciates the legislative difficulties. and is unwilling to take a chance of changing political affiliations, with no gain.”
