Public opinion in the South supports the ratification of the Panama treaty and the Louisiana legislature has instructed its senators, Murphy J. Foster and Samuel Douglas McEnery, to vote for the treaty. The public widely supports the treaty and the isthmian canal but many Democrats, led by Maryland Senator Arthur P. Gorman, are opposing the treaty in an effort to gain political capital.
