TnE 3I0RXIXG OEEGOXIAX, MONDAY, XOVE3IBER 6, 1922 CALIFORNIA ISS CONGRESS CLOCK AND MAN WHO KEEPS IT GOING. ELECT JOHHSO Governorship Race Is Some what in Doubt. Control of Congress Will Be , by Narrow Margin, VICTORY OREC I 3, WOOLWINE WORKS HARD Richardson Nevertheless Is Said Have Better Chance Than Democrat. BY SHAD O. KRANTZ. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5. (Spe cial.) It has been mighty hard for tho folks who are interested in politics to arouse much enthusiasm over the individuals and the issues involved in this campaign. Despite the fact that more than 60 measures are to be voted upon end a full state and congressional ticket is to be elected, election day approaches with no one unless it be some of the candidates, them selves very greatly excited. One reason for "this is that the results, as far as the .principal of fices are concerned, are pretty well discounted ' in advance. It Js cer-" tain that Hiram Johnson will be elected to succeed himself in the United States senate and reasonably certain that Friend W. Richardson, the republican nominee, will be chosen as governor. ' Woolwine Fighting? Hard. Yet it js not so certain so far as Richardson is concerned. Thomas Lee Woolwine, his democratic op ponent, has been making a hard ; campaign and really thinks he is going to be elected. Some other people are beginning to think so, too, but the wise ones shake their heads and insist that the fiery southerner from Los Angeles county has not much of a chance. W.oolwine's only hope for the election lies in the split in the re publican organization that caused Richardson, early In the campaign, to break away from the republican state committee and establish head quarters of his own. But as the " campaign wore on there was less evidence of actual hostility between Richardson and the rest of the re publicans, and in the last few weeks Richardson and State Chair man Boynton have been saying some very complimentary things about each other. Richardson and Hiram Johnson have appeared repeatedly on the same platform together, each urging support of the other. Could anything be more harmonibus? House-Cleaning la Promised. ; Earlier In the campaign quite a -- few republicans openly denounced JI Richardson for his refusal to accept r Boynton as state chairman and for J, his determination to run his own campaign independent of the state ;J committee. A number of such re j; publicans took the stump for Wool--! wine, but they may have had other reasons for not supporting Richard-i-t eon. It must be remembered that ,-, Richardson won his nomination ' against Governor Stephens, the in i cumbent, on an economy platform J and on his promise to "clean house" - at Sacramento. There are quite a few faithful workers around the state house who have no chance in f the world to continue on the pay- roll if Richardson goes into office, and some of Woolwine's so-called : ' republican support doubteless is in Yi spired from that source. Yet it is readily admitted that the C split between Richardson and the : state organization has not done Rich.-.rdson any good, and Woolwine f has been just smart enough to take J advantage of the situation. He has t '., developed considerable strength J , here and may carry San Francisco, j-' Paper Won Over. : As evidence of the healing effects of time, however, is the attitude of the San Francisco Chronicle, the ac- cepted local organ of the republican i' leaders. When Richardson first de- dared his intention of having noth ; ing to do with Boynton and the rest of the state committee the Chronicle criticised him quite severely. In 1 1 the last few weeks, however, the Chronicle is out urging Richardson's - election. Richardson has the solid backing . of the so-called-country newspapers, and this was his principal element of strength in the primaries. A -great many demooratio papers J' throughout the state are supporting ; the republican nominee. The only V solid newspaper support that Wool- wine has enlisted are the five t Hearst papers. They are going down 2 the line for Woolwine and! Johnson. JohnHon's Campaign Perfunctory. ", Senator Johnson has been making a sort of perfunctory campaign, but William J. Pearson, his democratic t opponent, has been going at it re- lentlessly every day. Pearson is a . wealthy rice grower of Los Angeles J county and promises to look after the interests of the farmers and fruit growers if sent to the senate. F- The attitude of the Los Angeles j limes traditional enemy of Sen ator Johnson in the senatorial race 1 is interesting. After Johnson was nominated the Times announced that it would not oppose Johnson's - election. It has kept that promise. It has said little or nothing about r -Johnson but it has given many y columns of news several columns ' some days to the activities of . Johnson's opponent, Pearson. One issue that has given the -voters something to think about i and to argue about is the so-called "water power amendment." In brief, this measure, which is a proposed amendment to the constitution S would authorize the state to issue J. J500.000.000 in bonds to acquire, de- j' velop and operate the natural water ' powers of the state, with the object of giving the people electric energy i "at cost " . . Radicals Back measure. It is a collosal attempt at state .: ownership of public utilities and has the support of all the radicals and socialists and a great many who otherwise might not be included in Vi;. -l i , t-,..j,,. vj-Tittt uiaoB. rur iiittiaiiue, xvuaoipil Tjpreckels, president of the First National bank of San Francisco, and Francis J. Heney of "graft prosecution'- fame, have been going up and down the state lecturing to the people in favor of the bill. They speak vaguely of a "water power trust" and of the obstacles now in the way of the fullest development of California's wonderful power re sources. As a matter of fact, California ranks far ahead of most states in the volume of hydro-elctrie power developed under private ownership, with careful state supervision. Anyway, this is one of the big issues of the campaign, if any issue in a campaign as quiet as this one has been, can be called "big." Housing? Act Opposed. The only other one ofthe numer ous measures on the ballot that is causing much of a stir is the state housing act passed by the last legislature and signed by the gover- Photo copyright by Underwood.

The referendum was invoked by the lumber and shingle manufac turers of California on the ground that the act, as passed, would ab solutely prohibit the use of shingles as roofing material anywhere in the state And it probably would un less the shingles first were treated with some sort of "approved" fire retarding material. It is considered a severe blow against the redwood and red cedar shinglo industries and the lumber and shingle folks, are working hard to defeat the bill.

Contest Between A. E. Veatch and Sherman Miles tor Repre sentative Bitter. RAINIER, Or., Nov. 5. (Special.) The political situation in Colum bia county was never in such a chaotic state as on the eve of elec tion. The great battle in Columbia county has been between A. E. Veatch, Rainier newspaperman, re publican nominee for representative, and Sherman Miles, St. Helens, the democratic nominee and incumbent. Clatskanie has been a veritable battleground for the past ten days. The battle for the close of the campaign assumed a sensational nature when in last week's St. Helens Mist the republican county chairman, over his signature, in dorsed the candidacy of Miles. The chairman had worked for the en tire ticket and only two days before the article appeared had assured Veatch that "everything was all right." The county chairman, Charles Graham, is in partnership in the banking business with Miles. The action of Graham has caused con siderable censure . among repub licans, as Veatch has loyally sup ported the republican ticket as a whole, and has made a clean cam.--paign with every prospect of proving a winner tomorrow. Veatch declares that the utter lack of loyalty and the utter inactivity of Graham in the position of county chairman calls for his removal from office and that he understands a meeting of the county central com mittee win be called for that our pose as soon as the election is over it nas oeen explained by prominen oi. tteiens republicans that a. -v,- tain clique" in St.- Helens is wok ing together and that illAV hsva found som6 such move necessary if Miles is to be elected. j The action of McCormick and ijranam caused a sensation' in St. Helens, where there ar. many veaicn supporters. political hypocrisy. , Mr. McArthur is a tireless worker for Oregon. . He is responsible for the legislation establishing a naval base at Astoria, and he and his Oregon Colleagues have secured large appropriations for river and harbor improvements and other federal projects in Oregon. Oregon will soon be asking for larger federal appropriations possibly for a building and exhibit at the 1927 exposition. Oregon's veteran Republican delegation will be able to get these appropria tions where new and untried men on the minority side would fail. "Don't swap horses in the middle of a stream." A vote for Mr. McArthur is a vote f r a fearless, capable repre-. sentative, who has risen to a position of influence in the House and who is rendering real service to his state and country.

BY ARTHUR SEARS HENNTNG. (By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) , CHICAGO, Nov. - 5. Republican victory by a comparatively narrow margin is the prospect in the con gressional election next Tuesday. The senate in the next congress, 31 of whose nrembers will be elected Tuesday, will continue to be con trolled by the republicans by a ma jority not far from the present ma jority of 24. "It might fall to 20 or go up to 2S. A- republican majority in the house, though only a small fraction of the present republican margin of 169, appears to be a reasonable cer tainty in the light of a careful sur vey of the conditions in all states. A conservative estimate places the ma jority at 25 or 30. . Democrats Claim House. Canvass of the situation in every district, checked in comparison with the information at republican and democratic headquarters, gives the republicans a minimum of 218 seats, tire democrats a minimum of 174 and 43 in doubt. If the parties should break anywhere near even in the results in these close districts the republicans would have a majority in the neighborhood of 40. The republican managers are claiming a majority of from 30 to 60. The democrats are confident of capturing the house by a narrow margin, but the detailed figures on which their claim is based show a maximum gain of oniy 75 of the 85 seats they need to obtain a bare ma jority. If the democrats do not do better than their own figures indi cate the republicans will have a ma jority of not less than 20. Situation Is Analyzed.
