T322 Elections.
DEMOCRATS LOOK AHEAD
Minority Tarty for Trcsciit Willing

Have Responsibility.
(Continued From First Pb(eO

It is clear that to win the senate away
from the republicans it would be
necessary for the democrats In the
first place tr hold all the seats they
row have and In the second place r:n
13 seats now held by republicans. As
to whether the democrats are likely
to accomplish this. It is now too early
of course for anything beyond the
broadest speculation.
If one were asked whether the
democrats are likely to win the sen
ate It would nr.t be possible at pres
ent to go farther than to say the
thine Is extremely Improbable. Per
haps It would be more accurate to
say it is practically impossible, in
fact, for the purpose of winning; con
trol of the senate, the democrats are
th's year In a rather unusually weak
position. To a less degree than is
commonly the case can they count
on the "solid south." Among the 15
Beats now held by the democrats, only
five are those dependably, democratic
southern states where the party can
always count with complete confi
dence on electing its candidates.
These five are Virginia, Mississippi,
Florida, Texas and Tennessee.
In truth, stating It this way rather
Fives the democrats the benefit of
the doubt, for one of these states,
Tennessee, went so strlk'ngly repub
lican last year that it la a question
whether It may not from now on be
more accurately classified with the
states which for purposes of political
classification are called border states
or doubtful states.
The other ten seats now held by
democrats are in states which for the
most part cannot by any means be
called safely democratic. Khode
Island, Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah,
Montana, Missouri, Nevada, Ohio,
Arizona and New Mexico are states
which in one degree or another are
as likely to go republican as demo
cratic Grip OB 13 Uncertain.
In fact, as to a few of these states,
especially Wyoming, Utah and Khode
iHland. it can probably be said that
their present appearance on the dem
ocratic side of the senate list is due
more to the extraordinary Wilson
strength In 1916 than to normal po
litical conditions. The net of It is
that the democrats cannot reason
ably expect to retain all of their 15
seats that come up in the election
this year.
As to the 17 seats not held by re
publicans, wh'ch figure in the elec
tions this year, at least six are in
states in which democratic success
in the past has been so rare that
they can almost be considered as the
republican equivalent of the "solid
south." It is not normally to be
expected that the republicans should
lose states like Vermont, Maine,
Pennsylvania. Michigan, Minnesota
and Wisconsin. It is barely possible
for the republicans to lose senator
ships in two of these states, Minne
sota and Wisconsin, but it is unlikely.
The other four are always counted
Upon a9 "rock-ribbed" republican.
As to the 11 other seats now held
by republicans, it would be, in one
degree or another, possible for the
democrats to win. It Is always a
chance whether the republicans or
the democrats carry sucn states, ior
example, as New York, New Jersey,
Maryland, Delaware, Connecticut and
West Virginia.
Democratic Mope Limited.
The net of it all is that it is almost
a practical impossibility for the dem
ocrats to take the control of the
senate away from the republicans
this year. Only an unparalleled land
slide could accomplish it. The dem
ocratic party managers know this
and do not count on that particular
kind of victory. What they do hope
for with a confidence that is quite
Justified by conditions is to make
marked senate gains and to get the
psychological benefits of such gains.
They especially hope to win away a
few of the seats held by conspicuous
republican leaders.
As to the lower house, it is a dif
ferent story. The democrats fully
hope to make a great reduction in the
present republican strength of more
than two to one. Some of them go
so far as to hope to win a majority
for themselves in the lower house.
This is more nearly possible than in
the senate. It just happens that the
particular states which hold sena
torial elections this year are so dis
tributed in a political sense as not
to give encouragement to the demo
crats. But the lower house elections
will take In the country as a whole.
The conditions are curiously such
that it would take less of a landslide
to carry the lower house In the coun
try as a whole than to carry enough
of the restricted number of states In
which senatorial elections will be
held to give a democratic senate ma
jority. Minority Looking- Ahead.
The democrats would be more
f lad to win the house without win
ning the senate than to win both.
This sounds like the fox and grapes
fable, but from the standpoint of po
litical strategy there is soundness in
It. In fact, some of the democrats
limit their desires as well as their
expectations to merely making gains
in the senate and house, without go
ing so far as to control either. The
theory is, that look'ng forward to the
presidential election the democrats
would prefer to have the regponsi
liility for the management of the
country on the republicans rather
than on themselves. They say that
from their party standpoint it would
rot he advantageous to have respon
sibility for legislation at a time when
the republican president could veto
their work. The end of all this is
that the principal democratic hope
this year is to make gains so strik
ing that they will be received as an
expression of marked dissatisfaction
with the republican regime.
In connection with some ef these
senatorial elections striking inter
esting situations are Just now in
course of development. Of the entire
'.'.i seats Involved, it is now expected
that all but one, or possibly two, of
the present Incumbents will seek re
flection. One senator to whom nere
lias been attributed a disposition to
rotiro voluntarily la that veteran
democrat, John Sharp Williams of
Mississippi. It 1m probable that only
a voluntary refusal to run would
eliminate him. He has long been in
sucn- favor in his state that he has
been able to serve 14 years in the
senate and before that li year in
the house. On the last occasion of
his re-election to the senate he had
no opposition in the democratic pri
mary, which in Mississippi is the
equivalent of election. If Mr. Will
iams should retire it is likely to mark
the re-entry into politics of that ex
traordinary figure, who was retired
by his state four years ago, and who
Is credited with the wish for a new
lease of power, James K. Vardaman.
Hooaler Has Opposition.
One of the most interesting situa
tions ot the year will develop In In
diana. The incumbent, Harry H.
New, will seek to return, and Is sure
to have formidable opposition. For
soms months there have been desul
tory calls for ex-Ssnator Beverldge
to re-enter active political life. Just
lately these calls have approached
such a degree of organized crystalli
sation as to make it likely that Bev
erldge will contest the primaries with
New. New will have the backing of
the republican party organization. It
Is also expected that the reported
public evidences of his close personal
association with Harding will be re
lied on to help him, but that Bev
erldge is one of the outstanding po
litical figures of the time goes with
out saying.
He will have the benefit of a strong
residuum of that old progreesive sen
timent which formed his political
strength during the many years he
spent in the senate. .Since his retire
ment Beverldge has made such a
fruitful use of his leisure as is alone
enough to mark him as a distin
guished man and to Justify those of
his admirers who want to return him
In the senate. Beveridge's life of
John Marshall is one of the best
pieces of work in the world of lit
erature and history that has ap
peared In the present generation. His
participation, if he does participate,
will make the coming Indiana pri
maries one of the two or three most
important political events of the com
ing year.
Indiana Doubtful State.
Whether Beveridge should win 'the
primaries or whether New should win
them. In either event the successful
candidate will have another hurdle in
the election afterward. Indiana is at
almost all times a doubtful state, and
In the present year will be more
doubtful than usual. Whoever is to
be the democratic candidate for the
senate must, like the republican, first
win that distinction in his party pri
maries, but whoever it is will un
doubtedly give the republican candi
date a close race. At the present mo
ment many democratic leaders, both
In Indiana and out of It. are eager
to have ex-Vlce-Presldent Marshall
make the democratic race.
Mr. Marshall as a public figure,
regardless of politics, Is in his own
way as distinguished as Beverldge.
It has frequently been said of Mar
shal that he has done injustice to
his own talents by declining to take
himself seriously. The Jocular irrev
erence which always marked his pub
lic allusions to himself and to his
office of vice-president has oaused
the public to fail to get a just meas
ure of his real value. AH in all, it
is reasonably certain that Indiana
will provide some of the most inter
esting political developments the
coming year.
In Massachusetts Senator Lodge
will appear as a senatorial candidate
for the sixth time. Ha has had a
longer continuous service than any
other living senator. He is more than
merely the republican leader In the
senate. He Is, In fact, a sort of
symbol of the republican leader in
the republican party. He more than
any other one senator personified the
opposition to Mr. Wilson and the
league of nations, and now as a mem
ber of the American delegation to the
arms conference he will personify the
results of that conference.
Lodge's Position Unique.
It Is to him both as a member of
the conference and as the republican
leader of the senate that will fall
the ' responsibility for leading the
fight for senate ratification of the
results of the conference. This role
will give particular interest to his
candidacy if it should turn out that
our foreign relations are to be a
major issue In the coming elections.
So far there has been no public gossip
of any opposition to Lodge In the
republican primaries. The democrats.
however, give voice to a sestful de
termination to give Senator Lodge as
hard a fight as Is within their power.
How formidable the democratic op
position to Lodge may turn out to be
cannot be predicted. The democratic
party in Massachusetts came as close
to futility in the presidential elections
a little over a year ago as could
readily be conceived in a Btate which
is frequently doubtful.
It Is an odd coincidence that the
senator who led the league of nations
fight on the democratic side also
comes up for re-election. Nebraska
Is normally a most uncertain and
whimsical state, and the probability
of a vigorous fight against Hitch
cock is already forecast by the vigor
wun wnicn the friends of at least
three republicans are beginning to
seek for their candidates the privi
lege of providing the republican op
position to this democratic leader.
Johnson Kxperted to Kua.
In California Senator Hiram John
son's term comes to .n end, and al
though there have been occasional
rumors of a wish on his part to re
tire, the very much greater proba
bility Is that he will be in the fight
and that he will make it characteris
tically vigorous and picturesque.
There Is a considerable number of
persona, both in California and out of
it, who regard Senator Johnson as the
leader and spokesman of a definite
body of American political feeling
and these persons have been energetic
in their appeals to him not only to
remain In public life, but to make
his part in It even more energetic.
in Minnesota Senator Kellogg is
credited with a willingness to accept
re-election, but with an Indisposition
to take on a hard fight, unless his
friends make their Insistence effec
tive. In Wisconsin Senator LaFollette
will for the tenth time put to the test
in his state a political dominance
which always has had to meet the
most violent opposition, but which
has always prevailed.
In Ohio, where Senator Pomerene
comes up for re-election, the most In
Interesting hint, so far, of nationally
interesting developments has been the
suggestion that Nicholas Long-worth
may try to secure the republican nom
ination. In New Jersey Senator Fre
linghuysen will run for re-election,
and Washington has heard that demo
cratic opposition may be provided by
one who in the past has provided
some excitement in democratic party
circles as the advocate of a "wet"
policy. Governor Edwards. In Mary
land the republican incumbent, who
will seek renominatlon and re-election,
is Joseph I. France. During his
term in the senate France has given

the "public the impression of a rather
eccentric radical. In New York the
democrats have hope of defeating
Senator Calder and are making care
ful preparations to that end.
Reed Bit Ambitious.
One of the most picturesque situa
tions will be provided by Reed in
Missouri. In many quarters Reed is
credited not only with the determina
tion to run again for the senate, but
also with ambitions for the demo
cratic presidential nomination in 1924.
Inasmuch as less than two years ago,
at the last democratic national con
vention, Keed was subjected to an ex
perience that was little short of being
read out of the party as punishment
for his lack of loyalty to Wilson and
Wilson's policy, his role in the Imme
diate future will throw some light
on the volatile fortunes occasionally
occurring in American politics.
In Maine, while the state is sure
to return a republican, there will be
an interesting fight to determine
whether that republican will be the
present senator, Frederick Hale. It
is anticipated that Hale will have
formidable opposition for the nomi
nation. If we turn now from these- details
of primaries and elections to the
course of national politics in the
broad sense of developing issues we
find a situation in which recessions
from republican sentiment seem rath
er more likely than additions to it.
When congress comes together next
Tuesday the first event of nation-wide
interest will be the case of Senator
Newberry. The senate is to deter
mine whether Newberry remains in
or is expelled from it.
Leaders for Newberry. j
The republican organization has
clearly determined to make New
berry's retention a party policy. The
democrats, of course, will vote against
Newberry practically unanimously. At
least one exception will be the ec
centric Watson of Georgia, who ap
pears to be a radical when the rest
of his party Is conservative, and con
servatlve when the rest. is radical.
Of the republicans there are at least
six who are counted upon to vote
against Newberry, and six more who
seem to take the position that they
will vote against Newberry unless he
takes the floor and makes a satisfac
tory answer to the charges against
him. The vote Is certain to be close
and the democrats, if Newberry is
permitted to keep his seat, will mase
the event one of the political issues
in the coming senatorial and congres
sional campaigns.
Soon after the Newberry case we
shall be in the midst of a tariff de
bate which will be more chaotic than
anything that has ever before oc
curred.. Senator . Smoot has admitted
for his party that tariff-making this
year is going to be attended by un
precedented difficulties. Senator Smoot
is an out and out party man and a
stubborn fighter and will try to make
as thorough a republican tariff, in
the historic sense, as the circum
stances permit.
But not all of Smoot's renubllcan
associates on the senate finance com
mittee are of his kidney, or of his
heart. Senator Penrose, as the chair
man of that committee, would ordi
narily be expected to have most to
say about the tariff, but he has no
such authority as his predecessor in
the making of the last republican
tariff, Aldrich of Rhode Island. Aid
rich was the real thing in the way
of a party dictator and Penrose in
the present state of his health is far
from that.
Farm Bloc Bis Factor.
Some of us who observe the tariff
making closely think we notice a
tendency to make a pretty thorough
going surrender to the "farm bloc."
It looks, In short, as if the farm bloc
will be permitted to have its way in
tariff making as In most of the other
things the present congress has done.
If the farm bloc is permitted to dom
inate the tariff making, it will of
course make It high. The farm bloc
leaders say that if they are per
mitted to make the tariff high on
farm products they will not object
to high protection also on the manu
factured goods in which the eastern
republicans are interested. The prob
abilities would seem therefore to
point toward a traditionally h(gh pro
tective tariff.
What the commercial and political
results of such a policy will be in
the present state of the country and
of the world affords one of the most
Interesting speculations within the
scope of the coming year, and of the
presidential situation 'that will be
upon us within two years. There can
be no possible doubt that the eco
nomic changes brought to America
by the war have made the policy of
a protective tariff different from
what it was in the days of Aldrich,
Payne and McKinley. But it is
equally certain that neither the re
publican nor the democratic leaders
are able to see as yet the political
results of thdse changes.
Before the next presidential elec
tion comes, if not indeed before the
end of the present year, the demo
crats of the south are apt to find
among their ranks some mysterious
strangers in the persons of high
hatted business men from the east
and north, whose Interests in rela
tion to foreign trade have been re
versed by the economic changes which
the war brought to us.
Tax Law May Stand.
A few weeks ago it would have
been possible to predict with confi
dence that Hie republicans would not
go to the country in the elections of
the present year with their record
on taaxtion as it now stands. When
the present bill was being finished,
in November and October, trs re
publican leaders used to say, xa the
course of private conversations, that
it was merely a temporary measure,
to sorve for the emergency of the
year, and that a new and more com
plete revision of the income tax and
of other aspects of the tax bill would
be made in 1922.
Just now, however, the republican
leaders seem to have ceased to talk
that way. They say now that perhaps
It is better to let the rtew bill stand
as it Is indefinitely. They admit that
the public expectation of what the
pcrty would do has not been met.
But they add that the principal thing
that business men and other heavy
taxpayers complained of was uncer
tainty. And uncertainty, they say,
has at least been eliminated and
would only be brought back by talk
of a new revision In the Immediate
future. Moreover, while many of the
changes that business men wanted
have not been made, other changes
that they wanted have been granted.
All In all, the probability is that the
taxation issue will go before the
country In the elections this year
in the shape in which it is now.
This is subject, however, to an im
portant exception. There can be lit
tle doubt that the republicans this
year will pass some form of soldiers'
bonus bill, and It is certain that no
effective bonus measure eaa be
passed without entailing some degree
of additional taxation. However the
republican leaders may feel about the
merits of "adjusted compensation," as
the soldiers call it, or about the de
sirability of adopting such a measure
now as compared with some future
time, the factor of political expedien
cy will be likely to lead the republi
cans to try to satisfy the soldier vote.
It is true that as late as last July
President Harding personally took
upon himself the onus of opposing
the bonus bill and by that opposition
prevented its adoption by the senate.
Bonos Involves Billions.
But those same republican senators
who persuaded Harding to take this
burden in order to save themselves
from embarrassment probably thirtk
today In terms of politicians who are
six months closer to the shadow of
an impending election. Also, it is a
fact that in several cases, notably
the election in Ohio, there have been
local manifestations of a strong pub
lic sentiment in favor of adjusted
compensation for the soldiers.
It is believed that Secretary Mellon
still feels as he felt last summer,
that the state of the national treasury
is such that it could not stand the
strain of a bonus bill involving bil
lions. If Mr. Mellon could have hi!
way if he could be w-hat he would
undoubtedly prefer to be, a business
man free from the necessity of con
sidering political expediency he
would say that the soldiers' bonus
should wait until the interest rates
on borrowed money have gone to nor
mal, a time which may come within
six months or may not come for a
year or more. But the political ne
cessities and the emphatic popular
wish that calls for bonus legislation
promptly will prcbably receive an an
swer from the present session of con
gress.
In this connection there has been
talk that the money for the bonus
might be raised by modifying the
Volstead act so as to permit the sale
of light wines and beer, and taxing
those commodities not only enough
to pay the bonus, but to meet a con
siderable portion of the other govern
ment expenses as well. I know that
the most minute and thorough com
putations have been laid before the
administration showing the enormous
sums we could raise by licensing and
taxing liquors of one variety or an
other. But there is little evidence
that among the public generally
there has been any widespread
change In the sentiment that has so
far kept prohibition water tight. In
individual congressional and senato
rial elections the "wet" versus "dry"
issue will figure, but there is no con
vincing sign that either the repub
lican party or the democratic party
will make a party policy of modifica
tion of the prohibition laws as they
now stand. The thing is possible,
but not likely.
Immigration Problem Near.
.For the rest, most of the legisla
tion likely to be taken up by the
present session -will not be of a kind
out of which political issues in the
elections are likely to arise. Some of
the coming acts of congress will be
of a sort on which the parties do
not divide as parties. One example
of this Is immigration. The present
immigration measure, which was
adopted for one year only, will come
to an end In the spring. There is no
doubt that either it will be renewed
as It is or made more drastic, and
both democrats and republicans will
support it generally and strongly. Of
the same character will be much that
will occupy congress in the way of
the reorganization of government de
partments, the putting into further
effect of the budget and the like.
Another group of measures on
which the parties will not divide in
such a way as to form party Issues
in the elections will be the farm bloc
programme. The farm bloc Is biparti
san. Of course Its continued success
is an indictment of republican party
solidarity and leadership, and to that
extent will prevent the republicans
from going before the country with
a clear and unequivocal record. So
far as concerns the Individual politi
cal fortunes of the members of the
farm bloc they of course know ex
actly what they are doing. Their
constituents approve the measures
they advocate, or they would not ad
vocate them. The farm bloc Is a
perfectly spontaneous and natural ex
pression of the political desires of
the communities which elect these
senators and representatives. The
members of the farm bloc as a whole
probably have smaller fears of the
coming elections than most of their
associates, who have a wider variety
of Interests among their constituents.
These coming primaries and elec
tions are closer at hand than is com
monly realized. The situations which
many of them determine will be crys
tallized within a very few weeks, as
early as March the primaries will
bceln with South Dakota. Illinois
comes in April. The important Indi
ana primaries will come in May. So
also will the Pennsylvania primary,
which will determine the permanent
successor to Knox, the late Junior
Pennsylvania senator. Crow being

also come In May. In June Iowa,

Dakota will select their senatorial
and congressional candidates.

BAKER. Or.. Dec. 31. (Special.)
A gold strike at a great depth in the
Last Chance mine in the Cornucopia
district, reported last week, 'has
proved even more important than
waa at first anticipated, according to
Robert M. Betts, manager of the
property who was in Baker yester
day on his way to Portland.
In a statement made today Mr.
Betts declared that the ore body was
crosscut at the end of the 4700-foot
tunnel and at an incline depth on the
ledge of 2250 feet from the outcrop
pings 1250 feet below the upper
workings. The ledge Is three and
one-half feet in width and shows
values as rich as those found In the
upper workings, he added.
'It established the fact- that it is
the same ore body as found in the
upper workings," said Mr. Betts,
"and goes back fully 1250 feet, in
suring the life and permanency of
the Last Chanoe mine for many years.
It is certainly very gratifying, not
onlv to tha members of m v coninanv
but to the mining world, for it gives j
absolute proof of the permanency ot
gold mining in Baker county."
Mr. Betts stated also that mill op
erations would not be resumed for
about three months. In the mean
time an uprise in the tunnel will be
started for fresh. This work, which
will be extended through an uprise
of 1250 feet, will be expedited, the
manager asserted.

they expected to find It," said Mr.
Betts.
"We have not had time to open up
the vein to any extent but everything
seems to be normal in a geoloBical
and mineral way. While the vein is
on a slight pitch and but three feet
in width the ore occurs in lenxes
so the narrow width Is not an indica
tion of a lack of ore.
"The first samples show the ore
to be of a fair milling grade and If
the intervening ground contains the
same tonnage per square foot as the
old workings, it will mean seven or
eight year's continuous run before
sinking will be necessary. The mat
ter of ventilation Is the first step
contemplated and It is estimated that
four months will be consumed in this
work.
"The company will soon be In a
position to handle the ore to advan
tage. Heretofore for a long time
it was hindered by water In the mine
which had to be pumped out at a
great expense, by deep hoisting of
ore, at more expense and by the high
wages, due to the war. The mine will
now drain itself. Wages are lower
and help more plentiful."

Cause Excitement in Town.
HOOD RIVER, Or., Dec,- 31. (Spe

Stranahan, liveryman, created great
excitement here yesterday. Members
of an orchestra left a xylophone case
at the Fashion Stables. Some one
placed a robe over the case. Mr.
Stranahan added a pair of shoes at
one end. and then the tout ensemble,
including the supporting bench, caused
all who beheld the layout to think at
once of a corpse.
The report was started that a man
had been killed in an accident. City
and cour.ty authorities were apprised
of the event by queries from individ
uals seeking Information. The livery
barn in a very short time became the
goal for most of the males of the
city. Business snd professional men
