POLITICANS BUSy
OVER STATE POSTS
'SALEM, Or., Julie 8. Who will be
the Kepubllcan aspirants for the
nomination lor governor in (ho pri
maries) of next year?
Who Is going to run for the Ho
publican congressional nominal Ion In
the three Oiegon dlstilets?
Who Ih going lo he a candidate
tor (he republican nomination for
state treasurer?
What are the democrats going to
do?
These are some of the oneationn
that are ripe lor the asking in Ore
con politics.
Olcott Silent
Governor Olcott has not told any
one he will be a candidate In ll)T
at least he liasnt said so where It
would reach the public. A year ago
It was frequently said that Olcott i
would not be a candidate. No one
says It now, and it may safely bei
said that lie will be in the race.
There are three reasons tor this.
On Is that the legislature Ibis year
increased the salary, so I here Is at
least mote than bread and butler in
It. Another reason Is the human de
sire to hold office by election of the
people as well lis by Inheritance. The
' third Is the icasoiinbly sale political
policy adopted by the governor
which his friends believe has main
tained for him Hie level of liiend
fchlp he held when he became gover
nor. Whether that Is sul'lielent lo
elect him governor would have lo
bo determined at Hie polls. No one
is going around .singing Olcolt's
praise, and, on the other hand, little
criticism ol the administration is
heard.
'No one has yet come forward wbli
any delinllo Infoi maliim whether
Mayor George L. Ilaker ol Portland
will he a candidate nor wlielhei
Colonel tleorge Kelly, member ol" the
Port of Portland commission :md
business man, will be a candidate
Doth llaker and Kelly talk Is snout
in I'ortlund land, sporadically about
the state.
Senator I. I,. Patterson has every
one guessing except those who an
on Ihe Inside. The senator Is iiiiln
to go for governor. Hut he lit a elost
peraoual ami political friend of Mr
Olcott.
Friends of Colonel tleorge A

discouraged their efforts. Helor tin

than Is the governor's of I Ice. Then
Is no Kituor talk relative to tin
governorship. 1,. .1. Simpson ol

tutorial possibility, A new llgnri
now occupying some attention is
Judge Thomas J. Clcctnii of Port

ITALIANS SEEK AIO
FROM LATE ENEMIES
By Henry Wood
(United Piesm Stuff Cnriii. pendent)
ROM 10, June 8. Fresh compllcu
ions for the allies in the very near
utiire arc now rapidly brewing in
he intense propaganda being carried
m in Austrian Tyrol for annexation
o Germany.
The suipienie object to be attained
ij- tills Is to give Germany and
Uily a common boundary some
liing that has been the ilivain of
laliaii 'and German statesmen over
.luce Ihe two countries attained
heir national unity.
As a signatory of Ihe Versailles
real)', where in she has pledged
icrself lo oppose any annexation of
lorman-Auslraln territory to Ger
.inny, Italy, officially at least, Is
ihllged to maintain a negative attl
ih le in tiio intense propaganda
vhlch la now under way In Austrian
Tyrol. -
However, Ilallan statesmen and
loliliclans are unable either to deny
ir conceal the fact, that if by one
neans or another this lllllo strip of
Uinlrlan territory lying just north of
he Italian border at the llrennor
ass and Just south of Munich
.houhl become a part of German tor
ilory, the advantages to Italy would
so almost Incalculable.
One of the eternal nightmares
'i out which all Italian statesmen tour
er is that of Ihe manner In which
Italy Is at all times at the mercy
it Knglnnd because of the hitter's
ontiol of the Mediterranean. Italy
i sa maritime power Is dependent
or her national existence on her
ibilily to keep up sea commerce
villi the rest of the world, cspe
hilly lor the importation of coal,
wheal and other essentials for bel
li IV.
Yet with Kngland controlling both
he western enlrahce to Hi.' Medller
,'uucuit to Gilbraltar and Hie eastern
at the Suez canal, alio could at any
uoment cut off Italy trom all coin
nerce with the rest of the world
1 1 1 1 1 i educe her to starvation terms
.u a wry few weeks
The thesis of ueaily all leading
Italian statesmen has therefore al
,ays been that Italy's uallonal
afet) and existence depended upon
'oiiuectlou with some northern
ouniry that could always Insure
'ii outlet for her commerce through
he northern seas as well as an inlet
or Importations. .Manifestly, the
country best situated to do flits is
lieriuaii), and this was one of the
principal consideration.) In Itnlv's
membership lu the Triple Alliance
hoiore the war as well as the prin
cipal motive back of all Italian
itatesincu who hesitated in the mat
ter of Italy's taking sides with the
lilies during the recent war.
The lieaty of Versailles red.tced
the territory which sepaialea Italy
I ruin Germany to an almost Incon
slderatilu strip. The population is
overwhelmingly German and It is

many is carryilig on an only too
welcomed propaganda for annexation
to Gorman).
The lack of a common frontier
both the German and .Italian econ
omists point out constitutes Hie
gi cutest barrier to reciprocal ih'o
nomlc development and relations oi
the two countries, which would re
ipilre li customs unity. The propa
ganda how being advocated Is that
the Tyrol could be formed Into an
autonomous province and annexed to
Italy for the sake of the common
frontier ami reciprocal economic ad
vantages. The propaganda to this end is do
ing can led on In him It a manner
that the situation created thereby
can hardly escape much louder con
sideration by the allies.

see Hie end of the Irish "war."
Craig, following the conference,
was oxpectedly unyielding. DeValera
was unexpectedly conciliatory. No
one In authority lias ventured to
guess Just what It meant below Hie
surface.
The situation was that Ireland, na
turally, Is fed-up with warfare, The
government is fed-up with conduct
iug it at tremendous cost to the
heavily overtaxed people of Kngland.
It Is hoped by the government that
Sinn Fein, knowing the government's
determination to crush the rebellion,
is ready to woik the act at the first
step In what Hie government has
promised will mean an Ireland as
tree as possible. The government
has held out many hopes, has practi
cally promised fiscal autonomy, and
has invited offers from Sinn Fein.
There lias been one i"awbaek; the
government lias insisted It will not
' mint amnesty to Collins and others
on the "blacklist," and Sinn Fein has
said It could not and would not
desert them. This was removed bv
Ihe statement that amnesty would
lie granted If necessary. The gov
ernment hopes Collins may be killed
previously, or that the end of the
right will come, If not by direct
negotiation, in a split between mod
erates and extremists as a result of
which Collins and the rest will be
killed by Irishmen.
Hut if necessary amnesty will be
granted, and, Collins and- the others
will walk to the gates of Dublin
Castle the only safe way, for if
they surrendered to police or sol
dier they probably would be "killed
while attempting to escape" - and
give themselves up to the govern
ment. by guerrilla warfare continues, the
lirltish government, as would any
other civilized government, will re
inforce the troops and police in Ire
hind and take overy s?ep lo tiring to
that country the peace so devoutedh
prayed for by a majority of the Irish
people and so foolishly broken by a
minority who carry on a system ol
assassination."
