THE SUNDAY OREGONTAX, PORTLAND, JULY 6. 1919. HOT POLITICAL FIGHT Senator Gore Is Target Democratic Heads. of SCOTT FERRIS IN ACTION Hoth Men Are Stronz In Politic! Circle and Bitter Contest Is Expected. OREGONIAX NEWS BfREAC Wash ington. July S. On of the most Inter esting political battles In the cam J)aie-a next year will be fought In Okla homa, the pri at stake being; the Vnlted Mates aenatorahip held ever since Oklahoma was admitted to state hood by Thomas P. Uore. the blind senator. Senator Gore lone an Incurred the nmlty of the White Houe as a result cf which the Wilson administration Is expected to use all of Its power to de feat hlra for renominatton. The candi dal to beat Core already baa been chosen. He Is Scott Ferris, for eis-ht rears chairman of the house public lands committee, and a member of con cress from Oklahoma since 1309. f.r- Mhlriwlad rawaala-arr. Representative Kerr Is Is a roars msn with much ability as a campaigner, which means that the contest will be worth watching- Just as Rood clean sport if nothing- else. Senator Gore Is a whirlwind campata-ner and aiomr with beinc a finsbed public apeaker. is possessed of a fine sense of humor. As an entertainer there arc few mora ac compllshed. For this reason alone the I'nited titatea senate would rea-ret to lose him. Unfortunately. Senator Gore's record q war measures is not at all aatiafac tory. and on this score he has much to overcome. The administration opposi tion, however, does not arrow so much eul of what rVnator Gore did at the beginning- of the war. although that first aroused the feeling of antagonism. The blind aenator has opposed Mr. Wilson almost consistently for the last three years and now that he is to come up for re-election next year, doee not adopt any mora conciliatory attitude. Ray ef Hope la Ves. fn fact. It la believed that Senator Core welcomes the opposition of the administration. He participated to some extent In the filibuster at the end of the Sth conirress and has shown no deslra to repent. Oat of this situation cornea a. ray of nop for the republicans to elect a sen ator from Oklahoma next year. It Is recarded aa certain that all of the fed eral machinery will be thrown Into the fifht to beat Gore, who won the nomi nation five years azo by 50.009 over hta democratic opponent, and the elec tion by 4S.00 over hia republican op ponent. Three cabinet members. Fost-master-Oeneral Burleson. Secretary of Arricultuf Houston and Secretary of War Baker are understood to feel a special Interest alone with the presi dent In e-rtttna- rid of Gore. In addition tb leading- democratic newspapers of tha state are opposing: him. tre-Mttl Is rrablesa. But with all this formidable opposi tion, it Is doubtful If he can be beaten In th democratic primary, which cnve some rur!s!tv as to what the followers of Mr. Wilson in Oklahoma will do after th primary la ever If Gor wins. In th last two elections there baa been a noticeable reduction in demo cratic marsIns in, Oklahoma. Senator Robert L. Owen only defeated bis re publican opponent In 19H by 27.000 votes and th majority given for demo cratic members of congress from th state waa but 25.000 with the party in complete harmony.
