MARION. O.. Jan. 1. (Special.)
At the time of Harding's nomination
It M generally said that a group of
Is fellow-senators had been the chief
instrument in bringing It about, to
a degree that was true. Harding's ini
tial entry into the race was probably
half due to the persuasions of some
of the republican senators.
At several times during the pre-
eonvention months, when naming
r:. Hi. r wished he were out of the
race, these same senators were influ
ential in prevailing on him to stay
In. But the precise extent to which
the senatorial group was potent In
finally bringing about Harding's
nomination does not matter for the
purposes of this article. Those con
fused events of the closing days of
the republican convention are too
old for news and not old enough for
history.
I allude to the senatorial group
merely for its bearing on the thing
we are trying to get at now, the
question of hat kind of a man Hard
ing fi. It is undoubtedly true that
the public conception of Harding's
personality, the picture that the pub
lic has of him, has been largely and
erroneously determined by that early
association of a group of senators
with his nomination.
I sfistterlnar Opinio Formed.
That early and widespread associa
tion in the newspapers gave rise to
the phrase "the senatorial oligarchy,"
and the phrase in turn became a con
stantly reiterated campaign slogan of
the opposition. The result of all this,
with some other factors, has been
that to a decree the public has
thought of Harding not as a leader
In his own right, but as the repre
sentative of a group, as mouthpiece
tor the republican senators.
The public has thought and to a
large extent still thinks of Harding
as the amiable, easy-going, rather
pliant sort of man who would be
contented and happy in that kind of
role.
People have thought of him as
having a neutral personality, even a
negative personality, destined as
president to be the reflection in tfcc
White House of a group of stronger
and more positive personalities in the
Senate. They have pictured the re
publican senators running the coun
try, with the White House register
ing their decisions.
Picture Declared Wrong
The picture of Harding is as far
from the facts as black is from white.
Harding is the leader, knows he is
the leader, and will live up to that
role. He will do it in a way different
from the way w uson am it, ana air- j
rent from the way Roosevelt did i
It. but he will be the leader no less
surely than these two were. Right
now, for example. Senator Harding
Is believed by all the republican sen
ators to be in the process of making
up his mind on a decidedly important
matter.

Naval Flier Travels Longest Dis
tance In History Without
Making Stop.
SAX DIEGO. Cal, Jan. 1 Estab
lishing a new American non-stop
duration record for pilot and five
passengers for seaplanes, the United
I States naval seaplane NC-5 flew from
I San Diego to Magdalena bay In the
remarkable time of nine hours and
15 minutes. The big triple-motored
plane covered the 702 miles between
Point Loma and Magdalena bay at a
speed of 72 miles an hour.
The naval air station reported that
the flight of the NC-5 waa the long
est in the history of naval aeronautics
and exceeded by about 65 miles the
longest jump made by a seaplane In
the trans-Atlantic flight
The NC-5 was commanded by Lieu
tenant H. V. Baugh.
In striking contrast to the ill-luck
which the plane encountered when It
was partially wrecked here at the
start Thursday morning was the
good fortune which attended its as
tounding flight today. Between thi
hours of midnight and 3 A. M. the
day the 14 seaplanes took off Lieu
tenant Baugh was married, and he
fell heir to an unexpected honeymoon
when the seaplane was returned to
the station for repairs.
The repairs were rushed by three
shifts of mechanics, and the NC-5 got
unaar way on its second attemDt at
7:45 this morning.
According to the schedule of the
flight, the 12 F-5-L machines were to
have left Magdalena bay this morning.
At 7:lo tonight the naval air sta
tion announced that it had had no
report today from the 12 planes which
should have reached Banderias bay.
455 miles away, this afternoon. Navy
officers said that they were experi
encing great difficulty in communi
cating with the planes and that it
was nigniy probable that a report
from them would not be received until
early tomorrow.
PRINCETON ORATORS WIN
University of Oregon Team Is De
feated in Debate.
As though to compensate in a meas
ure for the defeat of one eastern col
lege on western fields on New Tear's
day, the debating team from Prince

I night and won from the University of
u"8 team oy a vote of two to one.
The question under discussion was.
"Resolved, That congress should pro
hibit strikes in essential industries."
Princeton upheld the affirmative,
while Oregon argued for the negative.
Hemey Cox. C. Carl Myers and John
J. Canoles represented Oregon and
Charles Denby, Alfred McCormack and
R. Miles Warner appeared for Prince
ton. Judge Wallace McCamant pre
sided. The debate was held at Lin

LIFE-SAVER GETS MEDAL
Chicago Guard Captain Honored
by Treasury Department.
CHICAGO, Jan. 1. Captain John O.
Anderson, in charge of the coast
guard station at the mouth of Chi
cago river, has been awarded the
gold medal of the treasury depart
ment, the highest award for saving
lives. The award was made for the
rescue of 17 members of the crew of
the wrecked steamer R. E. Runnells
at Grand Marais, Mich., November 14.

The region of Grand Marais, ac
cording to the inscription on the
medal, is the "graveyard of the great

EFFORTS LARGELY FUTILE
Veto c-f War Finance Resolu
tion Now Expected.
PATIENCE WEARING OUT
Signs of Disposition to Fight Ob
durate President Noted As
hurst Incident Significant.
THE OREGON! AN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Jan. 1. Congress lead
ers will enter upon their work
in the new year Monday with a sense
of having tried, in the short session,
which opened December 6, to do all
that was promised to the electorate
oi the country in the late political
campaign.
There is genuine realization, how
ever, that most of the efforts to make
good on campaign promises have
been thrown away. Legislation to aid
in a general industrial and economic
readjustment has been handled with
a rapidity never before known, but
it is foreseen that little of it will
ever become law.
Intimations which reached Capitol
hill yesterday foretold the veto of the
resolution reviving the war finance
corporation intended to provide for
eign markets for American farm prod
ucts. If the president vetoes mis
bill leaders have little hope that he
will permit any of the relief meas
ures to become laws. In disapproving
this legislation he is defying his own
party as well as the leaders of the
republican party.
Houston Held Obstructor.
Democrats in both house and senate
gave hearty support to the plan to
revive the war finance corporation,
believing that it offered the remedy
nearest at hand for the farmers' di
lemma. It is understood that the bill
will be vetoed on the recommendation
of Secretary of the Treasury Houston,
who has stood out against farmers'
representatives on almost every
measure proposed for emergency re
lief In this period of low prices.
But the plan is to go ahead with
the original programme of putting
all possible remedial and reconstruc
tion legislation through congress in
order that the nation's lawmakers
may be able to say on March 4 that
their pledges were kept and that they
cannot be held responsible for the
Wilson embargo on the country's de
mands. Patirnee Wearing Oat.
Just whether the leaders in con
gress will continue to receive the
acts of an obdurate president in good
nature is a question. Signs have been
noted in the last week of a tendency
to fight back, or at least of a disposi
tion on the part of several statesmen
to give the president a piece of their
minds. One of these was the sensa
tional visit of Senator Ashurst of Ari
zona to the White House with a de
mand for an audience with the presi
dent. Senator Ashurst did not see
the president but he made It so hot
for the man who has been running
the nation single-handed for the last
eight years at the White House was
glad to avoid any more scenes
by approving the bill to extend the
time for doing 1920 assessment work
on mining elaims.
The most of the United States had
never heard of this bill until Senator
Ashurst stormed the White House.
Twenty-four hours later everybody
had read about it and few measures
have excited more widespread inter
est. Several senators, who, like Sen-

Speculation Persists That Hughes,
Dawes, Daugherty. Hays, Wallace
and Hoover Are Certain.
MARION, Ohio, Jan. 1. Although
President-elect Harding has about de
cided on several of the most import
ant appointments to his cabinet, i
was indicated today that he had no
yet committed himself to a definite
decision in regard to any of the va
cancies.
During the last few days he has
reviewed the entire field of avail
ables, yet development of a positive
character has not been revealed.
In circles close to Senator Harding,
Charles E. Hughes of New York con
tinues the most-ta-lked-of man for
secretary of state and Charles G.
Dawes of Illinois still is a favorite
for secretary of the treasury, al
though for ttie latter post Charles D.
Hilles of New York and John W.
Weeks of Massachusetts still are
mentioned as possibilities. Mr. Weeks
however, is more generally regarded
as a likely secretary of the navy.
Others who keep to the front in
cabinet speculation are Karry M.
Daugherty of Ohio, most frequently
mentioned for attorney-general; Will
H. Hays of Indiana, discussed for
postmaster-general or secretary of
the interior; Henry Wallace of Iowa,
put forward for secretary of agri
culture, and Herbert Hoover of Cali
fornia, whose name frequently has
been coupled with the portfolio of
labor but who has been regarded in

SALEM, Or., Jan. 1. (Special.)
Fourteen first-of-the-year lucrative
and non-lucrative reappointments
were announced today by Governor
Olcott.
J- W. Ferguson was reappointed
a member of the state industrial ac
cident commission and T. B. Handley
was reappointed state corporation
commissioner. Mr. Ferguson was ap
pointed by Governor Olcott July 1.
1919, to take the place of Harvey
Beckwith and today completed Beck-
with s unexpired term. Handley was
appointed May 27, 1920, to succeed
H. J. Schulderman, who was ousted
by Governor Olcott following; the pri
mary election, and has filled out
Schulderman's unexpired term.
Portlanders Gain Posts.
Other reappointments announced
by the governor today were:
O. S. Blanchard of Grants Pass, W.
C. Fellows of Sumpter, R, M. Betts
of Cornucopia, W. B. Dennis of Carlton
and F. A. Olmsted of Portland, mem
bers of the Oregon bureau of mines
and geology; W. D. Wheelwright,
Mrs. E'Imond C. Giltner and Mrs.
Henry L. Corbett, all of Portland,
members of the child welfare com
mission; Amedee M. Smith of Port
land, member of the industrial wel
fare commission; G. M. Baker of Bend,
member of the Oregon land settle
ment commission; David M. Dunne
of Portland, member of the state
board of vocational education.
None of these offices except acci
dent commissioner and corporation
commissioner is lucrative. The mem
bers are allowed expense money. The
three members of the child welfare
commission were appointed by the
governor July 10, this year, when
the entire personnel of the board was
changed. Of the five members of the
board the governor appoints three,
the State university one and the
State Medical association one
Road Decision Delayed.
After Governor Olcott had been in
conference for three hours today
with R. A. Booth of Eugene and John
Yeon of Portland, members of the
state highway commission, he was
yet unable to announce an appoint
ment of a third member of the com
mission to succeed the late E. E. Kid
dle of Island City.
"We were unable to reach a deci
sion." said the governor, "and the
appointment will not be made until
some time the coming week. It is an
exceedingly difficult appointment to
make." T. A. McCann of Bend has a
greater number of indorsements than
any other candidate, and apparently
central Oregon is a unit in his be
half? If it were not for the difficulty
that the governor seems to be en
countering in reaching a decision, it
would be apparent that the appoint
ment will fall either to McCann, Da
vid H. Nelson of Pendleton or Will
iam Pollman of Baker.
Nelson First Named.
Nelson was one of the first men
mentioned in a trio of indorsements
to the governor, but he appeared to
be little known outside of his own
county and apparently was not a

Demand Already Being Made That
F. W. Vaille, Exiled to Honolulu
by Burleson, Be Reinstated.
THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Jan. 1. With tbe change
in admin 'straton March 4 and the
installation of a new postmaster-gen
eral, it is more than probable there
will be a terrific shaking up of the
railway mall service In the 13th divi
sion, which comprises Oregon. Wash
ington, Idaho, Montana and Alaska.
Already there is a quiet movement
to undo several of the changes made
in the service in that part of the
countryby Postmaster-General Albert
Sidney Burleson. Some of the rail
way postal clerks are beginning to
demand that F. W. Vaille be rein
stated as superintendent of that divi
sion, headquarters of which is at
Seattle. Mr. Vaille was demoted by
Burleson and transferred to Honolulu.
His old subordinates regard him as
an exile and a martyr. Edward Mc
Grath Is the present superintendent
of the division.
nother demand is that Somer
Elwell. formerly chief clerk of the
railway mail service at Spokane, be
made chief clerk at Portland. It is
charged by some Of the clerks that
Mr. Elwell was reduced to the ranks
because he declined to be a tyrant. It
is said that Mr. Elwell, having
worked his way up from the bottom,
was inclined to bes-too considerate of
the men under him after he became
chief clerk In the view of the powers
in Washington. It is expected that
just as soon as Mr. Burleson retires
from office the fight on his favorites
will be taken up in the open.
BRITAIN MAY HELP LABOR
Short Time and Jobs for Every
body Cabinet Proposal.
LONDON, Jan. 1. In addition to
other plans of relief for the vast
army of unemployed workers, tne
cabinet proposes that the govern
ment's industrial establishments shali
be placed on short time to provide
employment for the greatest possible
number of persons.
This would avoid further reduction
of the government establishments and
absorb many workers who already
have been dismissed.

PASADENA. Cal., Jan. 1. (Specl1.r-
Ohio State university's football
eleven now knows just how Governor
Cox felt, for the landslide to Mr.
Harding in November had nothing
"on" the University of California's
team today, which defeated the
Buckeyes. 28 to 0.
Andy Smith's University of Cali
fornia beat Ohio State at every angle
of the game, and It was proved to
the complete satisfaction of fully
45,000 howling enthusiasts that 1920
football as conducted on the Pacific
slope was four or five touchdowns
faster than the middle-western type.
It was the same play for which
Dr. John Wilce's outfit is famous
that took the steam out of Ohio.
While California scored a touchdown
In the first quarter and proved its
superiority from the start, it was a
history-making forward pass, com
pleted' after eight minutes of play in
the second quarter, which so upset
and surprised the Columbus entry
that from that time on it fell a com
paratively easy victim to the Berke
ley bone crushers.
Long Pa Is Made.
The ball was in the center of the
field. Center "Fat" Latham snapped
it to "Pesky" Sprott, who passed to
End "Brick" Muller.
Muller, the 19-year-old San Diego
youth, then hurled the ball 50 yards
to End H. W. Stephens. The ball shot
clear over Stinchcomb's head and Into
Stephens' waiting hands for one of
the longest passes ever staged. Sinch-
comb, Ohio's all-American half, stood
dumfounded as the oblong pigskin
sailed over his head, whirling after
the fashion of a highly charged tor
pedo.
Stinchcomb was picked as an all-
American player by Walter Camp.
His main asset is snagging forward
passes and "Hoge" Workman, Buck
eye quarterback, is renowned for be
ing able to throw the ball as far as
he can .ick it, but apparently neither
Stinchcomb nor Workman had ever
seen a ball tossed like that one shot
to Stephens by "Brick" Muller this
afternoon.
As previously related, California
bucked the ball across Ohio's goal
line in the first quarter. "Pesky"
Sprott carried it oer.
Muller's long pass piled the scorn
up to 14, for "Crip" Toomey was
kicking goal at the top of his form.
"Pesky" Sprott scored another touch
down shortly after Muller and Ste
phens had engineered their famous
pass, and little Charley Erb shot
through center for the final touch
down In the final period.
Easterners Have No Chance.
Ohio did not have a Chinaman's
chance, and don't let anyone tell you
that the long trip or the bright, sunny
afternoon had anything to do with
the result Dr. John Wilce and his
men took today's game seriously and
prepared carefully. So sure were Ohio
men here that their hitherto unde
feated aggregation would win (hat a
