POLITICAL INTEREST
CENTERS IN SENATE
Several Who Must Face Mu
sic Harding's Friends.
FATE IS BEING WATCHED
Action to Be Taken as Index to
Favor of Administration,
Declares Mr. Small.
BY ROBERT T. SMALL.
'Copyright. 1022, by The Oreonian.)
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 20.
(Special.) Although the entire house
of representatives is up for re-election
this fall and although the house
offers the democrats their only
chance of obtaining a share of au
thority in the federal government,
the political interest of the year
seems to center in the United States
senate.
This is due to the fact that the
house has been a sort of "submerged
tenth" in the national government
of late, and few of its members are
nationally known. On the other hand
some of the most prominent men of
the senate are "in the running" this
year and public interest naturally
revolves about them.
Senators' Pate la Watched.
Several of the senators who must
face the music this year, both in the
primaries and at the polls are inti
mate personal friends of President
Harding, and their fate at the hands
of the people is being watched as an
Index to the favor of the adminis
tration generally throughout the
country. In an off year like this,
however, local conditions very often
obscure national issues and make
general political deductions increas
ingly difficult.
The primaries thus far held have
been of interest principally to the
republicans. They have been spicy
enough to show that unusual political
undercurrents are flowing and more
than one republican senator, usually
complacent at this season of the year
is wondering just what the fickle
and revolving fates may have in store
for him. The woman vote unques
tionably is the enigma. It is the
first time the women have taken
part in party selections, and many of
the old signs are going awry in the
face of this new element in the body
politic.
Terms of 33 End March 4.
The terms of 33 sitting senators
expire on March 4 next. At least 28
and possibly 29 of these senators are
seeking or have sought renomination
and election. Senator Harry S. New
of Indiana, close personal friend of
the president, is the first of the sen
ators seeking renomination to be de
feated. The present makeup of the senate
is: Republicans, 60; democrats, 36.
There is every indication that this
preponderant republican majority will
be little changed by the elections of
this fall. The republicans are claim
ing that they will gain seven seats.
Unquestionably there are eight doubt
ful spots among the 15 democratic
6enatorships which expire next March.
Democrats Expect Small Gains.
Democrats are claiming that they
will gain a seat or two, for there are
perhaps five doubtful spots among
the 18 republican senatorships which
are up for decision at the November
polls.
Keen political observers who have
studied the situation are of the
opinion that a stand-off this year
would be satisfactory to both parties
and that is precisely what is likely
to happen. No democrat is radical
enough to predict that the political
complexion of the senate can be
changed this year, or even made close.
In the house things are somewhat
different. Many so-called rock-ribbed
democratic districts crashed in the
republican column two years ago un
der the impetus of the 7,000,000 ma
jority given to President Harding.
Most to Swing Back Again.
Most of these will swing back to
normalcy this year and send demo
crats once more to the lower
branches. Some democrats are hope
ful, but when it is considered that
85 of 86 districts must be overturned
to accomplish such a result, the size
of the task confronting the demo
cratic party managers is easily ap
preciated. Senators whose terms expire next
March are as follows:
Republicans Calder, New York- Crow
Pennsylvania: Du Pont, Delaware; 'prance'
Maryland; Frellnghuysen, New Jersey'
Hale, Maine; Johnson, California- Kellogg'
Minnesota; La Follette, Wisconsin; Lodge'
Massachusetts; McCumber, North Dakota
McLean. Connecticut; New, Indiana; Page'
Connecticut; Pepper, Pennsylvania; Poln
dester, Washington; Sutherland, West
Virginia; Townsend, Michigan.
Democrats Ashurst. Arizona; Culberson
Texas; Gerry, Rhode Island; Hitchcock
Nebraska; Jones, New Mexico; Kendrlck'
Wyoming; King, Utah; McKellar, Tenr.es
iree; Myers, Montana: Pittman, Nevada
Pomorene, Ohio; Reed, Missouri: Swan
son. Virginia; Trammel, Florida; WWliams.
Mississippi.
The republican managers are count
ing on winning Rhode Island and
Utah from the democrats and claim
to have an even chance or better in
Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana, Ohio,
Nevada and Missouri.
The democrats hold that there is
doubt about republicans retaining
New Jersey, Massachusetts and In
diana. They claim they will win
certainly in Maryland and that the
republicans may have unexpected
trouble in North Dakota. -Virtually
all of the republicans have primary
opposition opposition which has been
spurred to renewed activity by the
results in Indiana and Pennsylvania.
There are but few contests among
the democrats, the most notable of
course being the fight of Brecken
ridge Long, with the' assistance of
ex-President Wilson, against Senator
Reed of Missouri
YOUTH KILLED ON CAMPUS
Stanford Student Victim of Auto
mobile Collision.
PALO ALTO, Cal., May 20. R. S.
Moore, a student at Stanford univer
sity, registered from Jerome, Idaho,
was killed on the Stanford campus
last night when an automobile he
was driving was struck by another
car driven by Arthur Gobv, a fellow-student.
Goby tried to avoid
striking Moore's car, but his machine
skidded on the wet pavement, strik
ing the other car and overturning
it. Moore's skull was fractured.
Moore was driving to a dance with
Miss Elizabeth Mayhew of Palo Alto
at the time of the accident.
NAVAL RADIO USE DENIED
Request of Woman's Party to Send
Out Addresses Is Refused.
WASHINGTON, D. C. May 20.
Acting Secretary of the Navy Roose
velt today announced he had declined
application of the national woman's
party for use of naval facilities in '
broadcasting addresses to be delivered
tomorrow at the dedication of the
party's new headquarters here. The
application was denied, Mr. Roosevelt
said, on the broad ground that such
use would contravene the naval order
against employment of the naval
radio for political purposes.
The application of the woman's
party has been before the navy de
partment for some time, and several
days ago a protest against favorable
action on it was received from the
Massachusetts Public Interest league,
which declared that utterances of
leaders of the party revealed com
munistic ideas.

DAU5HEHTY IS TARGET
DOCUMENTS AGAINST ATTOR-NEY-GEXERAL
PRODUCED.
Senator Caraway Offers Ijetters as
Evidence In Course of De
bate on Horse Case.
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 20.
Communications purported to have
passed between Attorney-General
Daugherty, Thomas B. Felder, ex
Georgia attorney, and Charles W.
Morse, New York shipbuilder, were
presented to the senate today by
Senator Caraway, democrat, Arkan
sas, in support of his previous
charges that the attorney-general
was closely connected with the re
lease of Morse from Atlanta federal
penitentiary in 1912.
One of the documents offered by
the Arkansas senator was a photo
static copy of a contract alleged to
have been signed by Felder and
Morse, under which the latter agreed
to pay Daugherty, then a practicing
attorney in Columbus, O., and Felder
$25,000 for obtaining his pardon and
release from the Atlanta prison. An
other was a purported letteT from
Mr. Daugherty to the New York ship
builder and ex-banker making an en
gagement to discuss payment of a
"balance" of legal fees.
Senator Caraway, after presenting
the documents, declared the attorney
general still was having relations
with Felder, and added that Mr.
Daugherty had requested Felder to
employ as his assistant in defending
the Bosch Magneto company in the
pending investigation into the com
pany's affairs, H L. Scaife, who re
cently was discharged from the de
partment of justice for alleged dis
loyalty to the department. Mr. Cara
way described Scaife as the govern
ment's chief witness against the
Bosch company.
The Arkansas senator then pro.
ceeded to tell the senate that in the
light of these matters "there is only
one decent thing for the attorney
general to do that is to resign and
not embarrass the administration any
further."
Submission of the documents pro
duced by Senator Caraway came in
the midst of a wrangle over'the
Morse case, in which half a dozen
senators participated, and in which
Mr. Daugherty was both attacked and
defended.
Felder was also attacked and Scaife
was described in the course of the
rumpus as a 'man of high character
and one who did not need depend
upon a government salary for a livelihood.

London Immersed In War of Short
Skirts Women Rebel Against
Paris Decrees.
BY NORMAN H. MATSON.
(Copyright, 1922, by The Oregonian.)
LONDON, May -20 (Special Cable.)
When Sir James Barrie was in
stalled as rector of St. Andrew's uni
versity, he made a speech that could
be characterized Justly as only one of
rebellion, he deliberately Urged mu
tiny by youth against the elders, and
he added that if he were arrested
upon leaving the hall he would feel
that at last he had earned the right
to be their instructor. .But It wasn't
all sedition.
"My especial difficulty," he told the
students, "is that though you have
had literary rectors here before, they
were the big guns, the historians, the
philosophers. You. have had none who
have followed my humble ' branch,
which may be explained as playing
hide and seek with the angels.
Pupils Seem More Real.
"My pupils seem more real to me
than myself. It is McConachie who
has brought me to this pass. Mc
Conachie is the name I give to the un
ruly half of myself the writing half.
We complement and supplement. I
am that half that is dour and prac
tical and canny; he is the fanciful
half; my desire is to be the family
solicitor, standing firm on the hearth
rug among the harsh realities of the
office furniture, while he prefers to
fly around on one wing. I shouldn't
mind him doing that, but he drags
me with him."
And from that characteristic be
ginning, the writer turned to his
propaganda. He told them to doubt
their elders.
Hearers Advised to Donbt.
"Begin by doubting all in high
places except, of course, your pro
fessors. But doubt all other pro
fessors. Your betters have done a big
thing. We have taken spring out of
the year. And having done that our
leading people are amazed to find
that the other seasons are not con
ducting themselves as usual. The
spring of the year lies buried in the
fields of Flanders and elsewhere. By
the time the next eruption comes
it may be you who are responsible
for it and your sons who are in the
lava. All perhaps because this year
you let things elide.
Youth Declared Blameless.
"Look around and see how much
youth has now that the war is over.
Youth got a handsome share while it
lasted. I expect we shall beat you;
unless your fortitude be doubly girded
by a desire to send a message of
cheer to your brothers who fell. You
have more in common with youth of
other lands than youth and age can
have with each other; even the hos
tile countries sent many a son very
like ours, from the same sort of
homes, the same sort of universities,
with the same sort of hearts, who
had as little to do as our youth had
with the origin of the great adven
ture. Can we doubt that many of
those on both sides who have gone
over and were once opponents are
now friends? You ought to have a
league of youth as your great prac
tical beginning."
London for weeks now has been
torn by the war of the skirts. It is
not all woman's war, though. The
very biggest guns of the world of
art and science are making a deafen
ing racket. A sort of pantomime,
cheese war, the end of which any
body and everybody anywhere can
foretell. The loudest noise is being
made by the short-skirted die-hards.
Now everybody knows, of course,
that inasmuch as Paris has said long
Bkirts, long skirts it is going to be,
and already is, for that matter.
"But," shout men and women alike,
"let us never, never, permit the wear
ing of sport suits with long trains."
This is too dishonest for comment;
nobody said the sport skirt was going
to trail. It reminds one of that very
clever and very French cartoon of M.
Poincare as the breaker-in of open
doors saying:
If you insist that we walk we
won't go to Genoa."
There is not, however, any real or
unreal, dispute as to what men are
going to wear, and London knows all
about this question. Firstly, the sack
coat is to be longer, considerably
longer. They are to follow the waist
line and only one button or, in place
of the button, a decorative link. The
jacket being thus more open will
given even greater scope for taste
in faicy waist coats and neckties, but
it is decreed that the well-dressed
man shall wear a waistcoat of the
same shade and material as his suit.
The trousers will be slightly, but very
slightly, tightened. As for collars.
take it from me they are to be light
grays and light browns, in new art
shades.
"If you are really elegant this sum
mer you will wear a light gray
morning coat and a silk hat or bet
ter still, a gray white topper. While
zephyr-weight derbies in light gray
and soft hats are to be the favorites
of young men, the ordinary silk is not
to be displaced. So do not throw
your silk hat away. The proper thing
In boots have light gray uppers and
the ultra smart are patent leathers
with white tops. That settles the
whole thing.
Wireless Crase Hits England.
Belatedly England Is accepting
the wireless craze. Broadcasting, ac
cording to British claims, was orig
inated here two years ago, when
Melba's note3 were sent out from
Chelmsford. The United States leaped
at the idea and Britain watched and
waited. It is only in the last month
that the country has really appre
ciated the possibilities of the radio
development. The government con
trols the air and means to continue
to do so, a decision that has earned no
great criticism. For the privilege of
picking radio sounds from the air one
must pay the government 10 shillings,
and these "listening-in" licenses are
being sold in fairly large numbers in
the postoffice. Because the post
master has declared that it is impossi
ble to grant all the applications he
has received for the right to trans
mit, the applying firms agreed to
meet with him in a conference on the
possibility of co-operation. Broad
casting stations are being estab
lished in nine leading cities of Eng
land and Scotland. These are to be
permitted to transmit only between
the hours of 5 P. M. and 11 P. M., ex
cept on Saturday, when there will be
no limit. While there are but a small
fraction of as many receiving outfits
in this country as in the United States,
members of parliament are predict
ing that at the next general election
"everyone will be addressing a large
number of constituents by means of
the wireless telephone."

Court Allows Portion of Represen
tative's Claim Against Motor
Company, In Receivership.
.
VANCOUVER. Wash.. May 2D.
(Special.) In a hearing of claims
against the Multnomah Motor com
pany, in the hands of a receiver,
Frank J. Lackaff, heard before Judge
George B. Simpson of the superior
court of Clarke county, O. J. Lennox,
who presented a claim of J2067 for his
salary and expenses on a trip to the
orient, told of his trip.
Mr. Lennox left San Francisco as
chief engineer of the company to
study the road conditions in China,
with a view to building trucks suited
for them. He was to get $275 a month
and expenses. He left August 21,
1921, and reached Shanghai. A repre
sentative of a firm he met and who
had been in China, told him that
China would not use in 35 years the
200 trucks his company proposed to
build. Mr. Moi. associated with the
company, was to have a letter of
credit of 5000 a month, but the
money was not forthcoming.
After many varied experiences and
failing to receive any money, Mr.
Lennox said he was forced to go to
the Red Cross and borrow J666.88 to
pay his hotel bills and passage home.
He arrived in Seattle November 23,
and when he reached Vancouver the
next day found his family in quar
antine with diphtheria.
On December 5, after looking In
vain for Mr. Cavette. president of the
Multnomah Motor company, Mr. Len
nox filed his labor lien agianst the
company, which had ceased to oper
ate, and Mr. Cavette called on him
that night at his home.
There was a claim amounting to
$450 which the court struck out, al
lowing the balance of $1617. It is
believed there is not enough money
in the hands of the receiver to pay
this claim. There are a large num
ber of other claims for labor.

When a man sacrifices quality for the sake of dollars
he is sacrificing economy. Economically, he is walk

SMALL Persian Rug was sent to a home on approval
at the wife's request.
It was a radiant and typical example of the Oriental
weaver's art. The exquisite hand-workmanship and
perfect finish bespoke the master touch of one who
wrought for the love of it. It embodied in miniature,
ages of art, skill, traditions and secret color formulas,'
Thick and soft as a rare fur pelt, it reposed under a
reading lamp. The subtle and resplendent color har
monies lent a sensible warmth and living touch to the
room. i
The approval of the husband was sought. He, how
ever, was absorbed with the news and business of the
day practical matters of more direct interest to him.
But this pretty thing on the table had not escaped
the inquisitive eyes and wondering mind of his alert
young son, aged four. Chubby hands had caressed
the thick warp, as soft as a loving mother's cheek.
Stubby little fingers had traced and retraced every
floral design. He toddled around to daddy's knee.
"Daddy" the round upturned eyes glowed with the
essence of a thousand star beams "have I got enough
money in my bank to buy that?"
The small Persian piece s now the permanent prop
