THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL . PORTLAND. SUNDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 24! 1911. ' . DULY SENTIMENT SENATORS WOULD ED TO SEND ALL PREFER TO BE 11110 12 OREGON TO CANAL N HARNESS AG1 v v 11 .1 'J 15 1 Movement to Select Battleship to Lead Fleet in 1915 Gain ing Ground; More Agitation Would Help. rUolttd Pren Lcued Wra.1 Washington. Sept. S3. The movement ataxted on the Pacific coast looking to ward the selection of the historic hat tleship Oregon to lcail the world-wide pageant that will open the Tanama canal for commerce in 1915 is galninK such headway that It Is believed this vessel Is assured of the honor. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Beek man Wlnthrop favors the proposition and explains that the only thing neces sary to bring about the Oregon's selec tion Is a sufficient amount of public sentiment in Its favor. "The whole question is merely one of sentiment,'- said Wlnthrop today, "and If the people of the country show that they would like to have the Ore gon, who won her first laurels by tlm remarkable flight from Puget sound navy yard to Cuba by the present round about route, to be the first to go from ocean to ocean through the newer ana shorter way, the department will see to It that their wishes are fulfilled." The Oregon Is now anchored at the Puget sound navy yard, having Just been completely overhauled, and she Is pronounced to be fit , for another such cruise as made her famous more than a decade ago, although anxious to make the proposed triumphal voyage through the canal ahead of other vessels. Twenty-nine , of Them Will Probably Seek Office. When Terms Expire Year From Next March. (Unltrd Press Leased Wire.) Washington, Sept. 23. At all time I there Is Just ona-third of the members of the l.'nited States senate who are facing a campaign for reelection, as suming that all senators wl.sh to suc ceed themBPlvts. And the present Is no exception. The terms of Juet 31 sen ators will end a year from, next March, and practically every one of that frac tion of the body is wrestling with op position more or less serious. The po litical death rate In the senate Is ex ceptionally high these days and there are but few members of the upper leg islative branch who have a secure title to their aeats. Already two of the 31 have been de feated and there are others who are dangerously near the same fate. The senators whose terma end March next and whose successors are 'now being elected are: Bacon of Georgia, Bailey of Texas, Bankhead of Alabama, Borah of Idaho, Bourne of Oregon, Brlggs of New Jersey, Brown of Nebraska, Burn ham of New flanipshire, Crane of Mass achusetts, Cullom of Illinois, Curtis of Kansas, Davis of Arkansas, Dixon of Montana, Foster of Louisiana, Gamble of South Dakota, Guggenheim of Colo rado, Kenyon of Iowa, Martin of Vir ginia, Nelson of Minnesota.. Owen of Oklahoma, Paynter of Kentucky, Percy of Mississippi. Richardson of Delaware, Hlmmons of North Carolina, -Smith of Michigan, Taylor of Tennessee, Tillman of South Carolina, Warren of Wyoming, Watson of West Virginia, Wetmore of Rhode Island and the senator who will succeed the late Senator Frye of Maine. Already Senator Percy of Mississippi, has been hopelessly beaten by former Governor Vardaman. In Kentucky Senator Paynter went down in defeat before Congressman Ollle James. Payn ter was one of the members of the Ox team and prairie schooner, with t subcommittee who supported Lorlmer AGED TRAIL MARKER AT MINNESOTA FAIR St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 23. Still at work, In his ver.orable and patriarchal way, to reclaim the famous lost Oregon trail from the forgetfulness of the younger generation, Ezra Meeker has ar rived In St. Paul on . the way, eventually, to Washington. D C. and congress. His Which he blazed a trail of Interest and reminiscence acr-s the country In 1906 and 1907, from one coast to the other, was taken directly to the state fair grounds. Mr. Meeker has made two Journeya over the Oregon trail with his ox team, since he made the first trip more than half a centurv ago; and as the result and he found it convenient to retire from the race for reelection before it was far along. James therefore had an easy battle insofar as the primaries were concerned, and the only question now with him Is whether or not his i state will elect a Democratic legislature. : Bacon Has Ho Opposition.

The centenary an niversary of the battle of Lelpslc which occurs in 1913, is to be celebrated In Berlin by the performance of a great "military play," which will take plac of confidence." Senator Bailey, how ever, will not be In the next senate. He haa voluntarily retired from politics o says he will do so and the present likelihood is that Congressman Randell will fall heir to his seat Bankhead, "Borah and Bourne may get back without serious opposition. ' There may possibly be a fight on Bourne but it has not developed Into any tangible form as yet. He haa Indicated already that he will make no campaign, but wllj trust to the Judgment of his constl tuents to do the right thing.

I Burnham feels moderately sure of re election, as does Senator Crane. The Masnachusetts senator can figure out no way whereby the Democrats can cap ture the legislature of his state with out a landslide and he does not believe n landslides to the Democrats, it Is gossipped, however, that Governor Foss has his eyes on the senate and that if he does not capture either the nomina tion for the presidency or the vice pres idency, he will campaign to carry his state leglntnture for the senate. Cullom Won't Quit. Those politicians who have been wait ing all these years in the hope that "L'ncle Shelby" Cullom will retire from politics after his present term In the senate are doomed to disappointment. He has Indicated very clearly to his friends out in Illinois that he is willing to he reelected and that he prefers to die In the harness.
