General Farewells Session in
. Senate Just "Flizles Out."
WASHINGTON. Auk. 28. Sobered by
tha embarrassments of Saturday's all
right session of filibusters and disa
greements. Congress adjusted Its dif
ferences' today. Invited President Taft
to the capitol once more and at 4:30
Ihis afternoon, wrote "finis" after the
proceedings of the second session of
the Sixty-second Congress.
The end was marked by a return of
harmony. Senator La Follette. demand-
Ing action on the Penrose campaign
i fund resolution, found all opposition
moothed awar and the resolution was
tdopted almost without discussion.
- State Claims Dropped.
Senators Chamberlain. Martine.
Swanson and Culberson, after fighting
bitterly for the "state claims-' In the
ateneral deficiency bill, permitted the
Senate to yield to the House demands
and struck out thes.e claims. For this
concession, however, they received
promises of support next Winter from
other Senators when the claims again
will be pressed.
' With these old claims, amounting to
I isnn.000. went the "extra month's" pay
! for Congressional employes, which the
Senate demanded and the House re
fused to give. In the last half hour of
the session, while President Taft wait
ed in his special room to sign the
measures of the dying Congress, an at
tempt was made . to rush through a
special resolution giving the employes
the "extra month," but the House again
blocked it.
Bill Carries f l,S0e,uO.
' :The President signed the general de
ficiency bill at 4:10. making certain the
payment of $1,800,000 deficiency in
Army pay, 1150.000 for the Gettysburg
memorial celebration next year. $350,
' 000 for extension of customs work, and
scores of other Important payments
hinging on passage of the bill. The
last measure signed was a bill dis
posing of lands In the Colville Indian
reservation.
The session "Just fizzled out" in the
Senate, to use the words of one ob
server. A comparative handful of mem
bers occupied their seats and a call for
quorum in either the House or Senate
would have forced a return of the em
barrassing situation of last week.
A wild outburst of applause greeted
Speaker Clark's announcement of ad
journment as his gavel fell In the
House. The floor immediately became
an animated scene, members bidding
each other goodhye. Old-time political
foes buried their differences and all
feuds apparently were forgotten in the
general leavetaking.
. Scene One of Animation.
Further animation and color was lent
to the scene when the women flocked
down from the galleries to join hus
bands and fathers on the floor. Tired
but happy members and their families
' and friends crowded the corridors, and
Speaker Clark's room was thronged
with friends and admirers.
Just before he announced the ad
journment. Speaker Clark addressed
the House.
"As the hour of adjournment ap
proaches." he raid, "the Speaker de
sires to congratulate the House on
having reached the end of one of the
longest and most laborious sessions on
record. Congress has been actually in
session more days since December than
any Congress that ever sat. The Speak
er desires to thank all members of the
House on both sides of the big aisle,
which separates us politically, but not
at friends or patriots, for the uniform
' vourtesy with which they have treated
the Speaker. I hope that we will all
reach home safely, all have enjoyable
vacations and will all return refreshed
and invigorated for our work next
' Winter.
Senator Talk Politic.
There were an even score of Sena
tors on the floor of the Senate when
the resolution for adjournment was put
through. A recess was taken until
4'10. Then began a 20-mlnute wait.
Secretary MacVeagh wandered about
in the little group of Senators who
were making their farewells and dis
cussing campaign plans. In the center
aisle. Senator La Follette and Senator
Clapp were deep in discussion of pros
pects for the Penrose-Roosevelt inves
tigation. In his seat at the rear on the
Democratic side, Senator Ashurst
yawned audibly.
Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, awoke

presiding officers of the session. Sen-

Idaho Man to Stump Home State for
Re-election and for Entire ,
Republican Ticket.
CHICAGO,. Ang. 26. (Special.) -J-Crippled
in health from a nervous
breakdown United States Senator
Borah visited in Chicago for a few
hours today on his way home to Idaho
from Washington, D. C.
In spite of his ill health, which he
attributed to the "last month at Wash
ington, which an Iron man could not
stand without going crazy," he was
willing to tell the Nation once and for
all time where he stands 'politically.
Summed up briefly, his position is as
follows:
Before the Republican National con
vention he said he would not bolt the
regular party whether Roosevelt did
or not. After the convention's turmoil
he said the same thing. He has not
altered his determination. He points
to the fact that he has always been
a progressive. He says the third par
ty advocates, practically In whole, the
principles for which he haa fought for
six years. He believes that he can
continue that lit-ht better by remain
ing one of the banded-together Re
nnhitxan nrnaressive minority in the
Senate than by becoming an a-ddltlon
to the three Roosevelt Progressive
party Senators.
rAiinn-inv In t h I . mnnd he will stand
by the party. He will stump his home
miam in thA Interest of his own can
didacy and that of the entire Republi
can ticket.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Aug. 26. Overconfidence is the
one great danger that confronts the
Democratic party In the campaign this
year, in the opinion of some of the
leading Democratic papers of the East,
and strenuous efforts are being made
to Impress upon fhjcTn n campaign

from now until election day. Not only
are the Democratic leaders being urged
-to make an active campaign against
both President Taft and Colonel Roose
velt, but they are urged to dispense
with generalities, and get down to par
ticulars. And a review of the political, situa
tion would seem to Justify the opinion
that this warning is timely. For there
Is a notably unanimous opinion among
Democrats that this Is their year for
victory, and not a Democrat in Con
gress is willing to admit that there is
the slightest doubt as to the ultimate
election of the Wilson-Marshall ticket.
So general is this belief that little has
been done by the Democratic campaign
managers as yet, though this, as here
tofore explained, is partly due to the
lack of funds with which to conduct an
early or long campaign.
Individual Contributions Sought.
However, since the warning first went
forth, it is noted that the Wilson man
agers have sent broadcast over the
country an appeal to Democratic voters
to make individual campaign contribu
tions. In amounts proportionate to the
means and inclination of the Individ
ual, In the hope of raising a fund suffi
cient to meet all the demands that
may be made later. And this is prob
ably the first time that a systematic
attempt has been made to raise a fund
for a National campaign by popular
subscriptions. "V
There is no denying the fact that
optimism reigns throughout the Demo
