'OLD GUARD'SEEMS
SLATED 10 RETIRE
Smoot Alone, of Seven "Stand
pat" Republicans, Likely
to Be Re-elected.
OTHERS ARE UNPOPULAR
Gallinger Talks of Voluntary With
dranal Fcnrose Faces Ffght of
Life Root Ablo but Not
"Good Candidate."
OREGONIAN XEWS BUREAC, Wash
ington, Sept. 2. The United States
' Senate will be a lonesome place for
"etandpat" Republican Senators after
the close of the present Congress, on
March 4. 1914. Out of 33 Senators
whose terms expire on that date, seven
are members of the Republican "old
jruard." former followers of Aldrich.
--1,-nder the old system most of them
probably could be returned, but Sen-
ators in these days are being chosen
bv direct vote of the people, and a
majority of this little band probably
will retire to private life at the close
of their present terms.
The turn of fortune's wheel brings
up for re-election next year Senator
Penrose, of Pennsylvania; Senator
rjallinger. of New Hampshire: Senator
Boot, of New York; Senator Brandegee.
of Conectieut: Senator Dillingham, of
Vermont; Senator Stephenson, of Wis
consin, and Senator Smoot. of Utah. All
are "standpat" Republicans and all
were prominently Identified with the
Aldrich organization wteen the Rhode
island Senator was master of the up
per branch of Congress. Thesv seven
embrace most of the "Rtaacpaf1 ele
ment remaining In te Senate, and in
their number are the present "stand
rat'' leaders of the Senate, except Sen
ator Lodge, of Massachusetts.
Hale Prepare Retire.
In a recent colloquy with Senator
Gallinger over the income tax. Sena
tor La Follete, of 'Wisconsin, the hu
man hornet, angered by a remark of
Oallinger, expressed himself rather
frankly about the future of Dr. Gal
linger and those who stood with him
on public issues, and he made the pre
diction that in a few years several
faces long prominent in the Senate
would turn up missing. This brought
from Senator Gallinger the retort that
h would accept gracefully any fate
that might be in store for him, and he
even intimated that at the close of his
present term he might follow the ex
ample of the late Senator Hale, of
Maine, and retire voluntarily from pub.
lie life.
Of all the "star.dpat" Republicans re
maining in the Senate, Gallinger has
been the most obsinate In opposing all
"progressive" ideas. He is the firmest
of the standpatters, being even more
obstreperous than Senator Penrose,
though Penrose shoulders the bulk of
the blame and is generally regarded as
the bitterest enemy of progress. Gal
linger is so bitter In his antagonism
to "progressive" ideas that he will not
countenance any talk of the reorgani
zation of the Republican party.
Senator Gallinger owes his place In
the Senate to the influence of the New
Haven Railroad, a corporation that to
day Is as unpopular in his state and
throughout New England as any cor
poration could be. Under the old sys
tem the New Haven Railroad could
keen Gallinger In the Senate, but under
the system of popular elections the
New Haven road cannot save him, ana
Gallinger is a doomed man, politically.
Outlook Bad for Penrose.
The Presidential vote In Pennsyl
vania last year does not augur well
for Senator Penrose, and if he is a
candidate tor re-election he will have
the fight of his long and eventful life,
with the prospects seemingly against
his return.
One of the biggest men In the Sen
ate is Elihu Root, of New York, a roan
described by Theodore Roosevelt as
one who "would make a splendia sen
ator. but H very poor candidate." In
spite of his ability. Senator Root docs
not posses that popularity with the
rank and file of the voters of his state
to make his return to the Senate
certain: and. on the other hand, it Is
believed by his friends tnat ne proo
ably would fail to receive the nom
ination. I'd in Wisconsin. Senator La Fol-
lette. with a popular election law. is
counted on to defeat his colleague, ben
ator Stephenson. There are some who
disagree, but for all that the chances
are against the wealthiest man in the
entire Congress.
Senator Smoot alone, among the
seven Senators named, is almost sure
of re-election. Senator Smoot has a
tremendous support in Utah, by reason
of his church connections, end aside
from that he has been a useful Senator
for Utah and has considerable support
outside the Mormon Churcn. His ae
feat would occasion surprise In Wash
ington.
There is no reason why Senator
Brandegee should be returned by the
voters of Connecticut. He has been a
sort of messenger boy for Aldrich and
. Hale and Penrose and Gallinger. and
that about sums up his Congressional
cweer.

PENDING BILL CRITICISED
Seriate Committee Told Central Bank
Would Be Preferable and Would
Place Reserves Exactly
Where Needed.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. Support for
many principles of the Administration
currency bill was drawn from leading
members of the American Banners
Association today at the first session
of the hearing begun by the Senate
committee on banking and currency.
Representatives of the recent confer
ence of bankers et Chicago, who ap
peared to present recommendations for
amendments to the bill, emphasized
the fact that they did not come In a
spirit of antagonism to the bill, but In
the hope that it could bo so amended
as to make the new system "more at
tractive" and more flexible.
We do not fear Government con
trol," said Sol Wexler, vice-president
of the Whitney Central Bank, of New
Orleans, and one of the chief spokes
men for the delegation. "'We want
only minority representation on the
Federal reserve board, not to exercise
undue Influence upon its actions, but
to prevent abuses, that might arise.
Amendmenta Are Suggested.
James B Forean. president of the
First National Bank of Chicago and
chairman of the Chicago conference,
und Mr. Wexler testified today and cov
ered part of the ground emDraced m
the series or suggestions lur amend
ments to the bill made public by the
bankers a week ago.
Suggestions on which they dwelt
with chief emphasis today were:
That the banks, rather tnan Tne
Federal Treasury, issue currency.
That a central bank, or not more
than five regional banks, would be
preferable to the proposed 12 regional
reserve banks.
That membership of National banks
in the new Federal system should be
optional, not compulsory, as the bill
provides.
That tne amount or regional reserve
bank capital for which each National
bank must subscribe should be re
duced from 20 per cent to 10 per cent
of the subscribing bank's capital stock.
That one regional reserve banK
should not be compelled to rediscount
the commercial paper held by an
other. .
Division In Senate Indicated.
The sharp struggle that is to be
waged in the Senate committee before
it can reach any agreement on cur
rency reform legislation became ap
parent early In the hearing. Questions
by Senators Hitchcock and O'Gorman
(Democrats) indicated that their views
on certain provisions of the bill were
at variance with those of the party
leaders and Republican opposition to
many features or tne Din was pro
nounced.
The suggestions made by the bank
ers' committee that representation be
given to the banking interests on the
Federal reserve board were met with a
counter suggestion by Senator Weeks
(Republican), which it is understood
will be advanced as a possible amend
ment when the Senate committee be
gins consideration of the bill. This
was that the bankers of the country
should be allowed to submit to the
President a list of 50 or 100 men and
the President select from this list the
four members of the Federal reserve
board.
Central Bank Preferred.
Both Mr. Wexler and Mr. Forgan
said they believed the banking inter
ests ought to retain control of their
property. Both advocated a central
bank as preferable to the proposed
system. Under a central bank, they
said, reserve money could be "fed
out through 200 or more branches, to
the precise spot where it was neeaea,
without forcing one independent re
serve bank arbitrarily to rediscount
the paper of another.
The bankers contended that under
the proposed system of 12 regional re
serve associations it would be Impos
sible to secure enough capital in some
districts to make up the minimum of
$5,000,000. They declared many
changes must be made In the bill. In
cluding the reduction in the amount of
capital required to be taKen ty eacn

trust companies were to be induced to
enter the new system.
