Versailles Treaty Fails Fourth Ratification Vote
The Versailles treaty failed to gain ratification for the fourth time as the Senate sent it back to President Wilson with a clear refusal to advise approval. The final tally was 49 for ratification to 35 against, with 20 Democrats voting against and 21 Democrats voting for ratification, all unable to reach the required two thirds. The result shifts the political battle into the campaign, signaling a prolonged clash between the President and Senate leadership and delaying any peace status actions.
