TITE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 5, 1D20 STRONG REPUBLICAN SENATE PREDICTED Poindexter Is Confident Substantial Gains. of PROSPECTS HELD BRIGHT Teople of West declared to Be In dignant Over Failuresof Pres ent Administration. OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washinton, Sept. 4. Senator Poin dexter of Washington, chairman of the republican senatorial campaign committee, in a statement made here today, predicts republican gains in the next senate; claims the election of a republican senator in Washington and says there are excellent prospects for electing a republican senator In Ore gon next November. His statement Is in part A. reply to some of the wildcat democratic talk that has been running rampant re cently. ' "1 have made a careful examination of conditions in all the states where the senatorial election is at all un certain," says the senator, "and upon this I feel satisfied that the repub licans will retain all of the seats .they now hold and will gain several seats now held by the democrats. 1 under stand it has been iaid by some demo cratic leaders that Washington will elect a democratic senator, and that Washington and the Pacific coast and Rocky mountain states are for the league of nations. This opinion evi dently comes from those who do not live in that section and are not fa miliar with conditions. No one in the state of Washington who is well informed has any doubt that it will go republican; both for the presidential and the senatorial tickets. We will gain in Idaho and inj Colorado and have an excellent pros pect of gaining seats in Arizona, Cali fornia and also in Oregon and Nevada We expect, also, to gain a seat in Kentucky and there are several other states not necessary to mention where we have very good chances. In Ken tucky the strong probability is that the republican candidate for the'sen ate will be elected. "The people realize that the elec tion of a senator in any one state may determine possibly the control of the Benate, and they are so indignant over the present administration, whose policies Governor Cox has pledged himself to follow, that there will be no doubt about the return of a repub lican senate. West Is Knlly Aroanrd. "The fact that the democratic candidate for president boasts, in his speech of acceptance, of the enormous amount of money expended by the democratic administration, has par ticularly attracted the attention of ' the people of the west. They remem ber that during the war, when ques tions were asked in congress as to the failure of the war administration to produce war supplies, such as ordnance, the answer always was the boast that the war department hud expended enormous sums of money. "Governor Cox says, in his speech of acceptance, that America paid one third of the entire cost of the Euro pean war, in view of the fact that America's part in the war was of short duration and did not compare in magnitude with that of the other nations engaged from the beginning, This, is regarded as proof of the colossal disregard of the interests of this country in the expenditure of those vast funds. Danger Is Made Clear. "Recent European events have shown the absurdity 'and danger of the proposed centralised world gov ernment. Our people notice that the so-called mandate for Syria is not self-determination, as asserted, but is. and necessarily must be, as In every such case, maintained by force of arms. They observe that, although England and r ranee, are both mem bers of the league of nations, this instrument has not brought about that harmony of action between them and Poland which was expected. The people are against guaranteeing by the United States of the territorial possessions of European military powers, ana are against entering into an ooiigation to use the resources or this country for any such purpose "As this has, been very definitely and clearly made the issue, both by the presidential and senatorial can didates, the result will undoubtedly be the election of the republican . ticket. This is emphasized on the Pacific coast by various international questions in which the coast is par ticularly interested, such as alien ownership of, land and oriental im migration, control of which our peo pie are determined to keep in the American government, and to deny to any league of nations participation In meir seme ment. .

Mr. Veeck'a statement follows: The charge that there were Tixed Mayers on the -Chicago National fea&ue baseball team in the game against Philadelphia last Tuesday'. came as no surprise to me. If have any regret at their publicatio at this time it is merely that invets tigations which were being: made might be hampered through tbeir ad vance publicity. ' ' "On last Tuesday,' August 31, about 2 o'clock I received the first of sev eral telegrams, the last of which came to hand at 3:45. I give them here in full: Detroit, Mfch., Auk. 81. 1920.

Investigate. B. STEVENS. Large Bets Reported. "In the same period I received two long-distance telephone calls, one from a man who said hie name was G. R. Aleen and was telephoning from Detroit. The other was from Detroit by one who gave his name as J. H. Clinton. 67 Ledbury avenue, Detroit. Both reported that large bets were being made on Philadelphia. "I immediately got in touch with Manager Mitchell. Our unfortunate experience of last year made us feel doubly responsible, and after a con ference Manager Mitchell and I de- ided to pitch Alexander, though he ad pitched but three days before nd it was another 24 hours until is turn should come. "We know that Alexander ie a man above all suspicion, and we felt that with our premier pitcher in the box we were doing all we could, if there were any foundation for the charges, to insure that the dastardly conspir acy, if any such existed, be thwarted. Situation Told Alexander. T personally sent for Alexander and sketched the situation to him, of fering him a bonus of $500 if he won. I am sure no man ever went into the box wanting to win more than did Alexander." ' Mr. Veeck eaid he arranged with a etective agency to place two opera tive In the park to watch for any thing that might be interpreted as suspicious, and after the game in truded the detective agency to lo cate the persons who sent the tele grams and see what evidence they ad to support their charges. The detectives found, he said, that there was no euch address sLfi "57 Ledbury avenue, Detroit, and no such man as "J. H. Clinton." Mr. Veeck said he club would defray all the ex penses of an investigation by tne porting editors, and when it was completed would ask President Heyd- er to call a meeting of the directors of the league to take action. Plot Ie Suspected. 'This scandal, whether true or un true," he said, "ia more than the mere business of the Chicago baseball lub. Baseball belongs to the Amer ican people. For baseball to be un clean would not only be, in American life, a sporting calamity, but a moral calamity." Mr. Veeck pointed to the fact that all the messages came within a space of three-quarters of an hour, and that detectives had been unable to locate any of the Benders. He suggested that the messages themselves may have been part of a gamblers' plot to have him switch pitchers at tne last moment and send Alexander in, in the expectation that Alexander would win. Two of the telegrams, exactly alike in wording, came from Detroit ana Chicago, one being signed "Mitchell B. Stevens," and the other a- ttev ens. rMiLtirlA Heniirix. the pitcher wno was displaced by Veeck's decision to pitch Alexander, was not taken to Pittsbursr with the team ana is now here. He denied today knowing any thing about the reported betting coup, and said his first intimation that he was not to pitch came a few minutes before the. game, when Alexander was ordered to warm up. CIXCIXXATI GETS SrSPICIOUS Reports From Several Cities Re veal Active Betting. CINCINNATI, O., Sept. 4. A former Cincinnati actor who, it is said, fre quently places small wagers on base ball, is authority for the statement that a commission firm was in structed to handle money on the Chicago-Philadelphia game on .which the killing" was said to have been made by professional gamblers, as reported from Chicago. According to the actor's statement. the men who tried to bet the money in Cincinnati were not .the men who originated the scheme, but officials of a company engaged on a commis sion basis to get the money in 25 leading cities. Reports from other sources indi cate that "agents" were sent to Co lumbus and Dayton, O., and Lexing ton, Ky., to place bets. According to the published state ment tonight, half a dozen strangers appeared in Cincinnati Monday night and tried to place bets at even money that Philadelphia would win Tues day's game. Suspicion was aroused. it is earn, when a hotel clerk evas toid to gather all bets he could get that Philadelphia would d-efeat the Cubs. One man is said to have held commission of $3000, but only suc ceeded in placing $200. REPLY BEING WITHHELD Last Word Not Believed to Have Been Said in Polish. Matters. WASHINGTON, Sept. 4 Although It was said today at the state depart ment that no immediate reply was contemplated to notes received from the Polish government in connection with the correspondence over the Rus slan-Polish situation, officials do not believe the last word has yet been said in the discussion. It was intimated that the American government was not inclined to press its point on a matter requiring poise and calm reflection at a time when Polish officials are fully occupied with military measures.

POSSIBILITIES ARE CITED Much Depends on Outcome in Wis . consin, .Colorado, Xe-vv Hamp shire and Georgia. fContinued From First Page.) the pro-German issue, the "wet" issue, the Non-partisan league issue and the railroad issue, to say nothing of the clannish antipathies of Swedes and Norwegians, have cut across the old party lines until politics in Wisconsin is the sort of weltering chaos that makes prediction based on normal pre cedent quite without value. Here In Washington Lenroot has made a markedly favorable impres sion. He first came to congress some 12 years ago. He came more or less in the role of a protege of Senator La Follette. He was one of a group of young men whom LaFollette, in his prime, trained to an economic and so cial point of view, which then was new, but now is widely accepted. LaFollette Once Asset. LaFollette at that time was an asset to the nation and his services, not only as the teacher of a new and able group of disciples, but in a dozen other ways, will be given high credit by ' any impartial historian of the epoch between 1900 and isio; tne rea sons for the difference between tne LaFollette of 1905 and th LaFollette of 1915 and later are not a part of this story. But no one ought to seem to reflect as any careful writer must reflect, the irritation which the country feels toward the La toilette of the present, without at the same recalling the La Follette who in better days was pioneer of thought and a martyr in good causes. During recent years Lenroot has become less radical and since two years ago, when he was pro moted from the house to the senate to fill an unexpired term, local judgment here in Washington has located him about midway between the radicals and the conservatives in that body, Middle Poalttnn Held. He was favorably regarded, as a middle-ground candidate for the re publican nomination for president as occupying a position about midway between Johnson and Harding. In the republican convention he ran second to Coolidge for the vice-presidential nomination. As Lenroot became more equable, more sure-footed and more temperate and acquired a greater degree of con fidence from conservatives, in the same proportion La Follette became more and more radical. After much drifting apart, the time came when La Follette came to think of Lenroot as an apostate; and in these present primaries in Wisconsin La Follette is pursuing his former disciple with the implacable bitterness that generally arises out of such a parting of . the ways. Thompson La Follette Man. La Follette's candidate for the re publican nomination for senator is James Thomson. La Follette's ward ship of Thompson is such that, as one of my informants, a demoorat. puts it, "Thompson in his speeches practically proclaims himself a rubber stamp for La Follette. Another informant ex presses it by 'saying that Thompson is telling La Follette's followers that if they want La Follette to have two votes in the senate, then they should cast their ballots for him Thompson. Your correspondent has no knowl edge of Thompson, but dependable Judgments from unbiased persons in Wisconsin picture him as a rather slag-minded, pussy-footing person without a. strong personality of his own and well adapted to be the dis ciple of so aggressive-minded a radi cal as La Follette. One of the great Issues in this fight is the railroad question an issue which does not now exist in any other state. The fact that Lenroot voted -or the Eseh-Cum mins bill, which restored the railroaa to private ownership, is one of the reasons he is condemned by La Fol lette: and La Follette's candidate, Thompson, is believed to tavor the Plumb plan. Lenroot Likely to Fall. It is the net judgment of all the information your correspondent re ceives from Wisconsin that La Fol lette will probably prevent Lenroot from getting the nomination. All th information agrees that Lenroot i making a ood fight on a high plane. They all say that his exposition of the league of nations ana ot oiner na tional issues is clear, temperate and sound. That would be characteristic of Lenroot. He would bring those qualities to the discussion or any pub lic question. Lenroot voted for the league of nations, with reservations, while La Follette, of course, is an ir reconcilable. La Follette Is undoubtedly a power In his state. Every once in a while, for 15 years, we have been hearing from Wisconsin that La Follette was down and out, but at nearly every election his faction comes out dominant. The group of delegates from Wisconsin who, in the republican national con vention in June, from the first ballot to the last, cast a solid block of 24 vntes for La Follette for president, is sufficient proof of the tatter's strength with nis people. He will probably succeed in beating Lenroot. If he does, the country can take assurance from the fact that the man who will surely get the democratic nomination next Tuesday is a good man for whom those republicans who oppose La Fol lette can vote with satisfaction. Dr. Reinsch Idealist. The single candidate for senator in the democratic primaries next week is Dr. Paul S. Reinsch. Dr. Reinsch recently ended a term as minister to China, to which post he was appointed by President Wilson. He was formerly dean of the political science depart ment ot the University of Wisconsin. He is a self-made man, of. German parents, described as a "scholar and idealist. He will undoubtedly make a strong appeal to the independent voter and to professional and busi ness classes in both parties. If the outcome of these Wisconsin primaries next week, and of the elec tion later, should be the supplement ing of a republican with a democrat in the senate, in the person of Dr. Reinsch. persons whose point of view is non-partisan will be well enough pleased, and yet the country would be the loser by the defeat of Lenroot. Lenroot's greater experience,, with ten years in the bouse and two in the senate, makes him to that extent the more desirable candidate, even in Comparison with Dr. Reinsch's equally high character and intelligence. Lenroot Kated High. Here in Washington persons who watch the senate closely and are con cerned for high quality In its mem bership count Lenroot among the first j ..a ui eijjai senators, ana regara mm as the sort of man whom it is. most desirable to keep in the senate per manently. He is diligent in his duties, utterly without any' affiliations, that make him partial to special interests of any sort, with a well-trained and accurate mind. In addition to Wisconsin, several other states will name candidates for the senate next week. On Monday Colorado will nominate a democrat and a republican who in November will contest for the seat of Senator Thomas. Senator Thomas has refused to be a candidate for re-election.

The most dependable nrerlirttnn from Georgia is that Dorsey will suc ceed in putting an end to the political career of a figure who has been In national politics since as far back as ine time or Grover Cleveland. Hoke Smith was secretary of the Iniarinr n Cleveland's cabinet, has been s-ov. ernor of Georgia twice, and has been in the senate nearly ten years.

FORCED TO CAI.CEL ENGAGEMENT Speech in Chicago, Ignoring Mayor, Impossible. DRIVE BEGINS TOMORROW Colonel in Windy City Ready for Western Tour in Behalf of Republican Ticket. CHICAGO, Sept. 4. Theodore Roosevelt Jr. today canceled a Bpeaking engagement at the' Hamil ton club because, he said, "he could not speak in Chicago without saying what he thought of Mayor William Hale Thompson" and the republican national committee had requested him "not to take sides in the state factional primary fight." The late Theodore Roosevelt once refused to speak at the same club be cause William Lorimer was on the list of invited guests, but Lorimer's invitation was withdrawn and Roose velt spoke. "My position in regard to the Illi nois primary fight is well known." Mr. Roosevelt said. "The national com mittee wanted me to keep out of fac tional fights, and requested me not to speak in Illinois unless I could ignore the primary fight. I couldn't do that." Colonel Ready for Drive. Colonel Roosevelt arrived in Chi cago today preparatory to starting on his western speaking trip in behalf of the republican presidential ticket next Monday. Colonel Roosevelt was met at the La Salle, street station by a committee consisting of United States Senator New of Indiana: Mrs. Chris tine Bradley, women's secretary of the national committee; Mrs. Manley- L. Fosseen, director of the women s speakers' toureau; Representative James W. Good of Iowa, and Major E. H. Williams. The party went di rectly to a hotel, where Colonel Roosevelt Joined his sister, Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longw-orth. At the station young Roosevelt hur riedly explained that he had just come from the state of Maine. "We carried Maine by 5000 four years ago," he said, "but we'll carry it by a whale of a vote this time, probably 23,000." I.eagrue Held Death-Trap. At the republican national head quarters he made the following state ment: "The great issue of the, campaign is the Wilson league of nations. Like all good Americans, I do not wish to ttee future wars. I know what war is and I have three little boys. There are the seeds of more future entanglements in that document than there are in anything of its kind in history. Founded on injustice in many instances and containing article 10, the league is a death trap. "The democrats are declaring tnat the soldiers fought in France in order to establish the league of nations. I think I am Justified in saying that I know the soldiers better than those that are saying this. I want to tell these democrats that our soldiers fought in France not for this league, but for one thing, and one 'thing only the United States. .
