Senate defeat of the peace treaty ends with 49 to 35 against ratification and 47 to 37 to return it to President Wilson. Allies blame political maneuvering as Lodge and Republican leaders push the issue into the 1920 campaign, while Democrats split over reservations and strategy. Editors call the defeat a tragedy and warn of renewed treaty oratory nationwide.
