Morning, before the vote, came more definite news Of the Sunday battle, with its indication that a war Of more or less seriousness had begun a thing much hinted at in the United States, but not really expected, so Optimistic had been the pre vailing tone Of comment, based in large part upon Official news.1 The downright opponents Of Philippine annexation were only more confirmed in their opposition. Those who were wavering between a desire not to reject the treaty in toto and an Objection to having their country assume extensive posses sions in the Far East now were inclined to feel that to reject the treaty was more or less like refusing to vote supplies when their country was at war. The Senate consented to the ratification by a vote of 57 to 27. Senators Hale and Hoar, Republicans, and Pettigrew, Silver Republican, voted with the Democratic Opposition. The affirmative vote was recorded by 39 Republicans, 10 Democrats, 5 Silver Republicans, and 3 Senators Of the People's Party. A change Of two votes would have defeated the treaty?
