Williams, Incumbent, Being Boosted. ONE RUMOR IS LAID LOW ClOWN NIGHT -WILL. BK STAGED AT lA.TAtiKS. Strength of Republican National Committeeman Is Declared Learned in Washington. m 20 cidic DENIED WW THOMPSON One political rumor was laid low yesterday when W. L. Thompson stated that, while his name has been mentioned for republican national committeeman, he is not a candidate and never contemplated such a thing. Furthermore, Mr. Thompson is boost ing the incumbent, Ralph IS. Williams. "When I was in Washington," ex plained -Mr. Thompson, who was with the war finance corporation, "I learned of the strength of Mr. Will iams. He is now vice - chairman of the national committee and there was talk back, there that the Oregon man may succeed Chairman Adams. When Oregon has an opportunity to hold such a position it would be foolish to let faction or personal ambition interfere. Seniority Is Important. "What I say of Mr. Williams is also true of the Oregon delegation in congress. I never realized before what an Important tiling seniority is among members of the senate and house. The work of congress is done by committees and the committees are controlled largely by the ranking members. To obtain the best results, therefore, a state should continue re turning Its delegation. "Look at Nick Sinnott, one of the most solid men in the house. He has great influence and whenever he speaks ho is listened to with respect. McArthur is the whip of the house, active and a quick thinker. When these men want something for the state they are in position to get it. "In the senate, Charley McNary has some fine committees and he Is mak ing a deep study of the agricultural problems and is working hard to get his irrigation programme arcepted. The president frequently calls on Senator McNary for consultation. And Hob Stanfle'd has accomplished a great thing in the livestock indus try. The boys are all working to gether splendidly." OpiioNitliin May lolliipnr. Until recently there was supposed to be a lack of harmony between Senator Stanfeld and Committeeman "Williams and political advisors of the senator were planning to bring about the defeat of Mr. Williams for re election. In casting about for some one to oppose Mr. Williams, Roy W. Ritner was mentioned at one time and later Mr. Thompson was being advo cated. Neither of these men will oppose Mr. Williams, and as Mr. Thompson is particularly close to Senator Stan field, the Stanfleld opposition to Mr. Williams may fall to the ground. Most amiable relations now exist between the senator and the vice-chairman of the national committee, according to word brought from Washington, and a prospective breach within the ranks of the party is apparently being healed. Own Work DlMCUMMed. Regarding his own work with the war finance corporation, Mr. Thomp son said that after the policy had been mapped out and the labor had become a matter of routine, he re signed. In 80 days the corporation lent 100,000,000. For weeks at a time, and Sundays looked like any other day, Mr. Thompson was at his desk from 9 o'clock in the morning until 2 or 3 o'clock the following morning. There was o much to be done that on armistice day the work paused only for one hour to watch the parade pass. The corporation handled from $1. 000,000 to 2. 000. 000 in loans a day, dealinc with scores of banks each day and the acounts of every bank had to be examined before the loan was made. Conditions were such that there had to be speed to save some banks from insolvency and this- ac counted for the high pressure under which the war finance corporation operated. According to Mr. Thompson, Presi dent Harding has not as much con trol over congress now as he had a few months ago. This is because of the "agricultural bloc." a group of members who will remain active and pursue their present policy, Mr. Thompson predicted, until they have accomplished as much as possible for the farmers. In following their pro gramme, the members of the bloc are ignoring party lines and republicans and democrats are working together. - f ..X..V,s;mi t .11 Inn Hazel Hlckry, who h Murprlse for New Year's eve HllOW.

However, the net gain for the year was large compared with other chambers on the Pacific coast. SMUGGLER IS SENTENCED Japtincsc AVho Pleaded Guilty Gets 13 Months on McNeil's Island. T.
