8 THE SUNDAY . OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND. OCTOBER 31, 1920 LATEST FORECAST Harding Expected to Carry State by Large Majority. SENATORIAL VOTE CLOSE Opposition of Xon-Partisan League Deemed Likely to Be Overcome by Democratic Defection. BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 30. Special. I Idaho is not a rock-ribbed republican . Btate in the true sense of the word. ; It has crone rPDuhlian for nrRifl-n t but twice since it became a state. It has gone democratic four times and once was in the populist column. Is going1 republican. It is going- for Harding and is likely to go; . repub lican for senator, which is really more important than going for Harding. Great emphasis has been laid on that fact. Harding voters have been urged on everv occasion to fortret their Der- nnal Hislikn and nnMniiinpn and t o make their vote for Harding good by - wndidate. 'mall doubt exists that Burton L. French will be re-elected from the first congressional district or that Addison T. Smith will be elected from the second district. Both are repub licans. Both are as reasonably sure of election as men can be. Vote for Senator Will Be Clone. - Whan tha cTi-itnri;il E i I 11 a 1 1 n n 1. iflcniiaaan ifr Is, f (in n 1 1 tk.pa i a H' id' difference of opinion. The result will be close. But if Harding carries the state by any of the large majorities claimed, Frank R. Gooding, republican nominee, win ue eiecieu lu ine aclinic. If Hardinc does not carry the state by . a large majority, there is a possibil ity Uoodinar may De aeteateJ, dui not a probability. Gooding kept closely within the range of national issues. He dis cussed the advisability of a protec tive tariff and the argument won him votes because of the heavy drop in the market prices for stock, for sheep and for all farm produce. Gooding should break even in northern Idaho with Senator Nugent. He will lose the southwest, but should more than make up the loss ana gain tne margin he needs to win in the southeast, where John Hart, republican national committeeman and prominent Mormon leader, says old-time republican ma- . joriues are 10 oe ruueu u. ObHtacleH to Re Overcome. To be elected, Gooding has some outstanding obstacles to overcome. First, there is the opposition of the , Non-partisan league, which is uni form and compact so far as he is con ' cerned. Second, there is the railroad and labor vote, which is generally '.conceded to be for Nugent. But the labor vote will not be voted solidly for or against any candidate. Gooding's opposition will, of course, act favorably in behalf of his oppo nent. But he should gain sufficient Btrength to offset this. The demo cratic vote deflected from Nugent be cause of the belief there was a com bination with the Non-partisan league .to give him support, will go to Good ing. Just how extensive this deflec tion will be will not be known until after the election. He should hold the rank and file of his own party and should make inroads into the rural vote because of his stand for a pro tective tariff. Increase in JntlcreK L,lkely. It is more than likely that the people will ratify the constitutional amendment, approved by the last legislature, increasing the number of supreme court judges from three to five. Judge Itobert N. Dunn of Coeur d'Alene will very likely be elected to the long term seat on the bench, suc ceeding Chief Justice William M. Morgan. That disposes of the vacancy on the bench when Justice Morgan's terms expires. Charles B. McCarthy of Boise will be elected to the four year conditional term and William A. Lee of Black foot to the six-year con ditional term. All three are repub licans. The democratic candidate for gover nor, T. A. Walters, and the non-partisan gubernatorial candidate. S. D. Kalrchild. have not withdrawn from the fight for governor, which assures the election of Governor D. W. Davis. It Is very doubtful on the eve of the campaign If the league leaders ex pect to see Falrchlld successful. They expect he will run better than Walters and a number of them seem confident Falrchlld has a chance to defeat Davis. But Davis will succeed himself as chief executive of the state. Walters will probably be second and Falrchlld third. Forecast of Reault Given. ' The election of Davis means the re-election of the balance of the republican state ticket. When the votes are counted on and after Tues day of next week, so far as Idaho Is concerned the result is more than likely to be as follows: Fur president Warren G. Hardinc Senator Frank R. Gooding. Congressmen First district. Burton L French; Second district, Addison T. Smith. Justices of the supreme court Regular long term. Robert N. Dunn; six-year con ditional term. William A. Lee: four-year conditional term, Charles P. McCarthy. Governor D. W. Davis. Lieutenant-governor C. C. Moore. Attorney.general R. L. Black. Secretary of state R. O. Jones. Auditor E. H. Gallet. Treasurer Captain Dan Banks. Superintendent of public instruction Miss Ethel E. Redfield. Mine inspector Stewart Campbell. The legislature will likely be re publican, but the democrats and non partisans have a chance of possible control by pooling their membership strength in the two houses. BIFD BILL IS CRITICISED REFCGE MEASURE DEXOISCED BY STATE EXGIXEER. Official Declares Land Should Xet Hundreds of Thousands to Oregon Public Schools. SALEM, Or., Oct. 30. (Special.) "The public is entitled to know about Malheur lake and the probable effect of the Roosevelt bird refuge measure to be submitted to the voters at next Tuesday's election," says a statement issued by Percy Cupper, state engi neer, here today. "W. L. Finley takes exception to my statement that the lands are now in control of the state land board The state land board, composed of the governor, secretary of state' and the state treasurer, says this bill ar bitrarily takes this land from the school children and gives it away to the federal government without a just and due return to the school fund," said Mr. Cupper. "If these are state lands, they are in control of the state land board. If they are government lands, as' Mr. Finley would seem to indicate, then the Roosevelt bird refuge measure if useless. "The present measure, according to Mr. Finley. is the result of a com promise between the William Hanley and other irrigation Interests of Burns, Or., the Swtft-Corbett inter ests of Portland, and the proponents of the measure, and this has been strongly urged as a reason 'for the passage of the measure. "When we take into consideration the fact that the original measure proposed to give to the federal gov ernment all waters tributary to Mal heur lake, including Sllvies and Blit zen rivers, upon which Mr. Hanley and the Swif t-Corbett interests must depend for any further development of their holdings, it is not surprising that, these interests found it neces sary fos the protection of their prop erty to agree to the compromise measure. "The vote of the Burns Commercial club, 26 to 1 against the measure, would indicate that the section most vitally interested fully appreciates the detrimentai effect that the mea sure would have upon the develop ment of Harney valley. "The 47,000 acres, a large part of which is suitable for agricultural purposes, should be retained for the benefit of "the Oregon school fund, particularly when part of the lake can be diked off and maintained as a bird refuge and the remainder dis posed of so as to net several hundred thousand dollars to the school fund The matter should be handled on a sound business basis for the best in terests of the people of the state of Oregon, and in my opinion this can only be accomplished through defeat of the proposed measure. JOHNSON FILLS HIGH POST RE-ELECTION OF REPRESEXT . .ATIVE HELD VITAL,. Defeat of Member From 3d Wash ington District Would Be Blow to Restrictive Immigration. WASHINGTON. Oct. 30. In official circles there is much Interest in the re-election campaign of Albert John son in the third Washington congres sional district Attention is being called to the fact that Johnson, as ibalrman of the committee on immi gration and naturalization of the house of representatives, occupies a position of vital importance in the nation's p o s t-w a r ' reconstruction problem. It is pointed out that John son is in favor of restriction of im migration. Should he be defeated, the chairmanship of his committee will fall either to Isaac Siegel of new York or Adolph Sabath of Chi cago, neither of whom is ardently In favor of limiting the flow of Immi grants to the United States. The fact that restriction of immigration is be ing looked upon more and more as a necessary enactment for the safeguarding-of the industrial and eco nomic situation of the country makes Johnson's re-election a subject of concern. His defeat would be looked upon as a calamity by all who have given serious study to the immigra tion problem. There Is additional in terest in the matter in view of the recent action of the American Legion in demanding the removal of Louis F. Post, assistant secretary of labor, whom Johnson severely arraigned last winter for refusal to deport alien revolutionists. Kelso Club House Xears Completion KELSO, Wash., Oct. 30. (Special.) The new home of the Kelso club which has been under construction for several months, is nearly com pleted, and will be used Tuesday eve ning as headquarters for election re turns. A wire will be run to the building and a telegraph operator will be on ths job there throughout the night. CHEHALIS ELECTION LATE Municipal Primary Election Will Be Held November 2 7. CHEHALIS, Wash.. Oct. 30. (Spe cial.)

JlcAHTHl tt Coosres He is the only candidate in the Third Oregon District who will support, the principles' and policies of the Republican party, including- protective tariff for American labor and industry and free tolls for American coastwise ships passing through the Panama Canal. He is the only candidate who has pledged himself to oppose the Plumb Plan for a railroad soviet in this country and who is likewise opposed to socialistic raids on the public treasury. He is the only candidate who promises to vote against seating Victor Berger should that convicted seditionist again be elected by the people of Milwaukee. He is the one candidate whose defeat is especially desired by the Socialists, the advance guard of the North Dakota Non-partisan League and all other radicals here and elsewhere. In order to promote the candidacy of McArthur's opponent, the Socialists have made no nomination against him. . Their solid vote will be delivered to his opponent. His three terms in Congress have developed him into an experienced legislator, one who is highly, respected by his colleagues. His record is highly creditable and satisfactory to his constituency. He has voted right on the big measures before Congress and the passage of legislation protecting Portland's water supply and establishing a naval base at Astoria are convincing proofs of his ability to get results for Oregon. , Vote for a Republican Congress to Back Up a Republican President REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE.
