TIIE MORNING OTIKGOXIAN. WEDNESDAY, STAY 12, 1D20 DEMOCRATS ENRAGED OVER WILSON EDICT Message to Hamaker Count ed Awful Blunder. REVULSION NOW GROWING Deliberate Reading Out of Party of Oregon Senator and Others Is Bitterly leplored. OREGON IAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, Hay 11. President Wil son's telegram to Gilbert E. Hamaker, of Portland, Sunday night, practi cally reading out of the democratic party those democrats in the senate, or out, who supported the peace treaty with the Lodge reservations, was the subject of leading editorials in most of the eastern newspapers this morning. It was not until today that these newspapers woke up to the more in teresting angle of the president's pro nouncement as it related to the Ore gon senatorial fight and democratic senate contests in seven other states. When the light first began to filter in yesterday political wiseacres of the provincial eastern country were inclined to cast it aside as "just a bit of local politics," but today the news columns of most of the papers ran heavily to that phase of the de velopment which related to Oregon democratic politics and democratic senatorial politics elsewhere. Editorial writers, however, accord ing to today's papers, could see only the broader national aspects of the treaty issue thrust Into the presiden tial campaign by Mr. Wilson. Democratic Ansfr l;nab,ated. Individual democratic ' anger In Washington was wholly unabated to day, and if at all changed the tem perature was higher than yesterday. as they pondered over the state nient made by Secretary Tumulty to Senator Chamberlain yesterday . that the Hamaker telegram was sent without knowledge of the Chamber Iain senatorial contest, the wrath of the party leaders increased, and rap idly attained the boiling point when they read In a dispatch from Port land published in New York thii statement, credited to Chairman Hamaker: '1 think President Wilson had let ters before him which fully explained the situation before he sent the tele gram. In fact, I can almost say that I know he had such letters personally in his hands. I have taken the stand from the first that Senator Cham berlain was not fit to be senator, and I have taken the trouble to let everyone who is close to the presi dent know what I think. 'There can be no doubt that the president knew what it was all about, and that Chamberlain, who opposed him on more than one occasion and also voted for the Lodge treaty res ervations, was running for renomina tion and would be endangered by the president's telegram." Wilson, of Course, Knom. The comment immediately was that of course the president knew all about the political situation in Ore gon, and one new explanation was of fered today of the president's action, which involves Newton Baker, secre tary of war, and several high army officials. Most readers of daily newspapers are familiar with the long and ener getic fight made by Senator Chamber lain on the present army court-martial system, which brought several caustic statements from Secretary Baker some months ago and which resulted in a feud between the Ore gon senator and the general staff of the army, from General Peyton C. March down to some of the subordi nate officers. It will be recalled that General Enoch H. Crowder,' judge-advocate-general of the army, became so incensed that he would not speak to Senator Chamberlain one day when the two met so closely that their el bows rubbed. About three weeks ago. when the army reorganization bill was under consideration in the senate. Senator Chamberlain took the floor one after noon and offered as an amendment the entire draft of a new system of court-martial procedure drawn by for mer General Samuel G. Ansell and other foes of the general staff. The amendment, which would revolution ize the system of military justice and give the accused virtually the same protection that he would have in civil courts, was adopted by the senate M'ithout modification and is in the bill now in conference. War Department Overheated. The war department is in an over heated state of mind relative to this proposed new system, and to the ef forts of some of the leading military officials is partly attribued Mr. Wil son's readincs-s to reply so impulsively to the Hamaker inquiry designed to put Chamberlain in a hole. Another aspect of the president's uuiorraK discussed today was the prospect ot trouble which it is likelv to create for several senators who up iu una nine nave Deen getting by without opposition for renomination J''or example. Nugent in Idaho. l nelan in California and Henderson in iNevaaa, all democrats, whn vm.H with Senator Chamberlain for the ""sb reservations, now find them selves in danger of party opposition x uo iear is mat mere will be a sud den crop of democratic candidates in these states who will announce them selves as the administration choice It is admitted that the fear i -no tified because candidates standing on cci"ciiio ipiegram as a plat- wiiii cuuiu mane a world of trouble for such senators. The New York World, administra tion fici, lanes issue with the presi dent this morning, saying: "The pres mem. 10 use tne language of Mr. oirvninu, is conironted by a Condi tion, not a theory, and it is his sol rran uuiy 10 aeai witn it as a condi tion, not as a theory. He cannot af ford to close every door to compro mise or to -place himself in a position where he can accept no compromise whatever and that is what he is in danger of doing by such messages as that sent to the Oregon democrats." Idealism Held Abandoned. The Philadelphia Public Ledger which stood out for the ratification of the treaty without reservations for many weeks, until the prospect be came hopeless, says: "President Wilson has come down the ladder of idealism very rapidly since the day he set out to 'make the world safe for democracy.' But It was not until his telegram to Chair man Hamaker of Portland. Or., that he deliberately stepped off the low est rung. If that telegram meant any thing, it means that 'Iemocratic Leader' Wilson proposes noV to make use of the league of nations to keep his party, and his faction within that party, in office. He has completed the journey from the sublime to some thing very much more sinister than the ridiculous." Under the heading. "The Oregon Letter," the New York Tribune savs- 'Th Oregon letter deepens the mys tery of the president's political re actions," continuing: It le a pathetic demonstration of self-will and immutability of opinion. Mr.- w ilson has thundered excommu nicaticois against the senate, the house of representatives and the re publican party, but without avail. Now he threatens the backsliding democracy. Is It docile enough to un dertake at San Francisco to 'vindi cate American honor' by opposing reservations to the covenant which public opinion insists on as neces sary guaranties of American inter ests and rights?" Baltimore Sun Objects. The president's position receives no better support from the Baltimore Sun, which seeks to stand with Mr. Wilson on eTery occasion, and usually remains silent when to speak Is to dissent. The Sun says: "As a result of the situation which has developed, the question before the country at this time is not whether it shall ratify the treaty as written or with reservations, but whether it shall ratify it with reser vations or not at all. And, as we have pointed out above, that situation is not likely to be changed as a re sult of the forthcoming election. Because of this development many friends of the president, original sup porters of the treaty as written, have come to the conclusion that it is better to accept euch reservations as are necessary to secure ratification rather than to delay the entrance of the United States into the league of nations." The New York Times, loyal admin istration supporter on the league of nations, reiterates its previous posi tion that a "solemn referendum" is impossible and that the peace treaty cannot really be made an issue of the campaign.

Business .Men Propose to Raise About $100,000 to Increase Fa cilities for Industries. BAKER, Or., May 11. (Special.)

Prominent busi ness men of both eastern Oregon coun ties have started a project calling for $100,000 to build a private power plant to be leased to the Eastern Oregon Light & Power company at a rate that will net the stockholders of the new company a reasonable return.
