THE SUNDAY OREGONTAN. PORTLATD. JANUARY 4, 1920. L IT SESSION PROPOSED BY HIES Washington County Solon Wants Lid Nailed Down. THREE DAYS HELD AMPLE Get-Together of Members to Pat Clamp on Talkfest by Leg islature Is Urged. A monkey and & parrot time Is be ing predicted for the special session or the legislature. A group of mem bers, chiefly In the house, are eager to "start something" and a score or two have a little private ax to grind and intend using the legislature as a grindstone with the governor turning the crank. : i On the other band, there are busi ness and professional men who find the special session Interfering with j their private affairs and they are 'de sirous of winding up the session as quickly as possible In order to return 1 to their meal ticket. " Which is 'the I larger and stronger group will not I be known until there is a showdown when the Session convenes at Salem on January 12. Among the members of the state senate who want a short and sweet session are John R. JJIckelBen of Hood River and John. Gill of Multnomah. A' session of one or two days will just suit Senator Nlckelsen. ' Vlnten Wants Short Session. Senator W. T. Vinton, who is presi dent of the senate, -wants to hurry home at the earliest moment, and he thinks that one week is long enough to dispose of all matters which may legitimately come before the special session. Senator T. C. Howell ot Multnomah has no craving for a protracted meet ing. Senator a. T. Baldwin, who is Jiving in Portland this winter, does not care wnetner ne is at saiem or Portland, so the length of a session is somewhat Immaterial to him. Sena tor Gus C Moser wants to make it short. Among house members who have dropped Into Portland In the past few days, there is a disposition to shorten the agony to a minimum. Seymour Jones, speaker, is of the opinion that one week should suffice, but he fears that there will be such a mess of measures that two weeks may be killed. - B. F. Jones does not want a long session. He says that the special ses sion of 1903 disposed Of everything in a day and a half by the simple process of a joint caucus which decided what measures should be considered and which should be thrown out; the Joint., caucus of senate and house serving as a clearing house and steering com mittee combined. . 3Lld on Lose Session Urged. W. B. Dennis, chairman of the house committee on . roads and highways, representing Tamhill county, contends that a few days will be ample. The big legislation In which he Is con' cerned.-the proposed $5,000,000 road bond bill, the proposed constitutional amendment to Increase the indebted ness for roads from 2 to 4 per cent and the gasoline gravity law, will be ready for aotion on the first day of 'the session. The members of the com ' mittee will have these measures di gested in advance and will be pre pared to make a report In apple-pie order. - - Representative C. J. Bdwards, of Tillamook and Yamhill, hopes for a short session and fears for the worst. E. W. Haines of Washington believes that members opposed to a long ses sion should get together and simply nail down the lid. He contends that three days Is ample possibly too am ple. - . Harvey E. Cross of the Clackamas delegation hasn't any measures of his own and hasn't any ambition to be re-elected, and so favors a short ses sion, but believes that some of the younger fellows who want to make campaign material for themselves will try to drag the session out the full length., of 20 days. ' Lewis la After Publicity. K. K. Kubll of Multnomah "Wants the session as short as will be con sistent with acting on all matters of Importance." This can be construed as sentiment for 20 days. D. C. Lewis will want time to negotiate his bills through the house and senate and get enough publicity to aid him in his proposed campaign, for the nomination for county commissioner. Dr.- B. C. McFarland, also of Multnomah, ' will be thankful If the session is held down to a week or leas. Dr. Chester C. Moore says "make It . short,- the shorter the better. Representative E.-, N. Hur.d of Clatsop county declares the session can't be too short for him, and Rep- esentative E. I. Ballagh of Columbia county also favors the briefest of sessions. He has .a bill which he wants to submit, but it fa. a small matter and if the session doesn't want to consider it, he will -not in sist if the measure will consume time. Cyril G. Brownell of Umatilla peaks for a short session, and the bill he has in mind he will submit to the proper committee to be' fathered by that committee ot rejected. A. A. Smith of Baker' doesn't care how long the session continues, nor does Denton Burdtek of . Crook, Deschutes. Grant. Jefferson. Klam ath and Lake counties After his bills are passed, Mr. Burdtek doesn't care how soon the session adjourns. Be ing state campaign manager for Hi ram W. Johnson, -Representative J. 3 Stewart wants "to get baok" to that job as fast as he can, so he will not hold out for a long session. . LEAGUE TO GO TO PEOPLE Continued From First Ptga.) by the reservation had appeared to ignore it. Then Viscount Grey, Brit ish ambassador, saw the president and later conferred with Senator Hitchcock and the. belated message from the White House was the result. There are four and possibly five senators on the democratic side who will vote against the treaty if this reservation Is killed. Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia said todayv that he must be counted against the treaty If this reservation is weakened. Senator McNary, who has been engi neering the proposed compromise, said today that the outlook had be come discouraging. ' Bryan Has Parry. Excited. William Jennings Bryan has got his party all excited. "There is a new rumor every hour in Washington about what he is expected to say In his address at the Jackson day ban quet next Thursday night. Somebody spread the report that he intends an nouncing his candidacy for the presi dential nomination. The report may have been put out as a feeler. It caused some uneasi ness until someone else pretending to tn thA InfllriA riAnipri it. WnrH comes from Florida that Mr. Bryan will lay down ths party policy of the democrats for the coming campaign. Without consulting Mr. Wilson or j waiting for the national ' convention to pass on the Issues. Mr. Bryan will announce a declaration of party prin ciples. These so-called principles are expected to be mors of srpersonkl than a party platform, because they will represent the Issues on' which the 18-to-l silver-tongued orator wiU go to battle for a fourth nomination. Clark Remembers Bryan, : The speech to be delivered here. It is understood. Will be heard from the Atlantic to the Pacific because Mr. Bryan's plans -call for a stumping tour covering most of the 48 states in the- next few weeks'. Public curiosity In this part of the country is not nearly so much interested in what McAdoo. Palmer or Gerard think of the Bryan activities as In the comment-that Champ Clark-will-make when occasion offers. Clark has not forgotten the Bryan bolt at Baltimore in 1912 which insured Wilson's nomi nation. Bryan sprung his rebellion at . the psychological moment of the convention and Clark is 'suspected now of studying the psychology of the situation to drive a-rusty--nail iijto the new Bryan boom. -' - Meanwhile the preliminary Wftrk of organizing Bryan clubs in "all parts of the country is starting. Senator Harding's bold declaration that the anti-strike provision In- the Cummins bill is a "great step forward"- is a truly interesting develop ment In the contest for the republican nomination. While the Harding state ment "created a political sensation, more importance was attached to it than the facts Warrant. On that issue Senator Miles Polndexter Of Washing ton appears- to be- several weeks' in advance of Senator Harding. . Mr." Polndexter Goes Further. The Polndexter -platform goes that far. and farther, furthermore. Sena tor Poindextor Is staying in Washing ton to oppose, as a member of the conference committee -of - the two houses on the railroad bill, the elim ination of -tire, anti-strike provision. General Wood, in his handling of the strike situation at Gary, has given as clear an inkling as is possible for an army officer of nls views on-Industrial disorder.- ?"'" ' -' Out of- the race himself, former President Taft has been having a nice time this -week discussing the booms of the other fellows, and. as a polit ical writer he is more Interesting than ever before. ' " . . v - -After-naming Wood, powden. Hard ing, , Hiram . Johnson,- .- Polndexter, Borah, Coolidge and Nicholas Murray Butler, he' says: - -'-'From-that list the successful re publican nominee will certainly be chosen Hiram Johnson Has Friends. Of Hlratn Johnson,, he says: "Senator Johnson will have the Cal ifornia delegation behind him. With his radical proclivities,. Senator John sdn .will certainly Secure delegates from the states in which-the former Roosevelt supporters J have i radical tendencies. ' - - "The senator has a very strong fol lowing in his own state, dile to his fight against the Southern Pacific railroad grip, his acceptable admin istration of the State goverhment.-i-his strong personality and hlsv.power of enthusiasm-creating speech. "But the republicans of the State have shown very great dissent from his attitude in respect to the league. He-is very-popular with ait avowed -opponents ot the league.- as was shown by his speaking trip 'trailing the president. The effective strength this would give him in a republican convention with the treaty and league ratified Is more doubtful." Polndexter Case Doubtful. - With respect to 'the Polndexter candidacy he mingles oommendatlon with some Implied .doubt of the potea. tlallty of the boom, saying: "Senator Polndexter -has had long and varied legislative experience In the national house, and senate. He has taken a .pronounced attitude toward the tyranny , or I. " W. W.-ism and labor unionism and makes that his chief slogan. He is-also-greatly opposed to the treaty and Insists that it is un-American and unconstitution al for us to enter the league.- "Without being Invidious, One jnay fairly say ' that his chances tor the republican nomination are not pro portioned ' to his activities In seek ing it." It may be that 'Washington state has declared-for him.' but where the rest of his strength is to come from is not yet apparent." . ... WIRE IN JAILr HUB LOYAL "Sheilas Been Square" With Me," : . -v.
