DREGOtJ'S 2 VOTES IYSMMTE mmmm t Reactionary Democrats Have Great Holdover Strength and Bitter War for Control of Party Caucus Is Certain. By Carl Smith. Choice of Harry Lane as the next v ; senator from Oregon; may five ' the Democrats of the nation the deciding vote In the gigantic war soon, to be waged In Washington for control of the . United Plates senate, between the pro I gresslvs Democrats, who stand square shouldered with Woodrow Wilson, and the reactionary clement - - ' , , This reactionary; element is conceded to hold .a greater proportion of strength . on the Democratic side of the senate ' . chamber than Its popular strength Jus tlfles. This Is because most of the men returned, from that , section year artef year have not kept step with progres S give Democracy, even in their own . .,; states. . Just now, precedent Is being; invoked . to save tho commanding places for this , remnant of the old guard, for by senior i, ity of service the tenacious southerners '; have all the best of it. Precedent Is '- mighty, or has been, in the United States senate, and It is an unheard of 1 proposal to oust senior members from the leadership ' and chairmanships In favor of younger men In the same party, Hut the younger progressive element is made up of . ioonoclasts, so far as ' precedent Is concerned. : They do hot w-oneede that the "seasoned", senators 40t, must be given preference, at all costs. ' over the men who pave recently gone through the baptism of fire for pro gressive Ideas. . V-"'V' . ' S ! Progressives Plan Conference, This Indifference to precedent is pos- ' Ulvely , shocking to .such, senators as Martin Of Virginia, Simmons of North Carolina and Johnston of Alabama. , A riong those who will surely ; be frowned upon by . these elder statesmen are Chamberlain and Lane of Oregon. - Chamberlain has all along acted with the younger element, and was one of the first to declare for Woodrow Wll son.. "What Lane will do was forecasted by what he said yesterday, as welt as by what his public , career has made certain. - ' " "My position as progressive Is we.l known," he said. "I will be pro gressive, till right." ' ' ' 1 Dr' Lane declines to discuss In de- tail. the stand he will take prior to his formal choice by the legislature. But It is no secret that he will not stop to worship precedent while the progressive senators are marching rorwara. No direct word has yet reached Dr. .. . Lane from the opposing camps at Wash ington. A Washington dispatch a few . davs airo told of a conference of pro- . greesive Democratic senators, headed by such men as Lea of Tennessee, Gore of Oklahoma. Smith of Georgia, and O Gor , man of New York, who are planning , the. coming battle, and it Is aald they are preparing to communicate with new. ly chosen senators of luce ideas, as. ; lag for a general conference lat in Feb . ruary that will Include the new members as well as those now on the firing line. - Party Unas Sot Clean Cut. " Leaders of the recent conference say they count at least 27 senators In tun new senate to stand with them. ... That . is a narrow margin, fdr the certain Democratic strength In the next senate is 49, and 25 makes a majority., Upon that majority. In caucus of the Demo cratic members, may depend the suc cess of the policies of Woodrow Wilson, by placing In control In the senate the flien who will work with him cordially - and whole-heartedly, After that will come consideration of the division of Republican forces aloni " the- same lines, only with sharper divi sion. The standpatters, such men ss Gullinger of New Hampshire, Penrose ' ' of Pennsylvania, and Warren of Wyom- " ..

Mr. Heillg said today that the plans for bis sew theatre and the proposed site of Its location are not definite enough yet for publication, but that the theatre is assured. . "I can Just announce at this time." he' said, "that the people of Portland are going to be given a new theatre Jus as good,' and in fact better, than the- lleillg. The leasing of the Heillg to the Sullivan, & Considine people leaves Portland in -need of a playhouse for cufrent first class attractions, and this void will bo filled as soon as pos sible. The negotiations between Mr. Sullivan, Mr.. Baker and myself have been entirely satisfactory to all, and we are BHtlsfled the -changes contem plated will work, out to the best In terests Of Portland theatregoers." . Only Solntloa of JFroblsm, The agreement reached this morning between local, theatrical men Is consid ered the logical solution of a problem of serious import to the profession in Portland. An unusual chain of circum stances made a change from present conditions almost imperative, and the erection or a new theatre, either by Mr. Heillg or by Sullivan & Consldlne, was almost as necessary to a satisfac tory re-arrangement Even with the new Sullivan A Consl dlne house, the Empress, which wiU not be ready for occupancy before March 1, the situation would have been little .al tered because the Empress attractions will be produced at the new theater. This would still leave the Orpheum without a home. The Bungalow theater. In which the Orpheum attractions have been playing since the collapse of the Marquam build ing made the old theater unfit for use, is not fitted for vaudeville bills or the usual vaudeville audiences, and has been generally unsatisfactory. . The negotiations consummated today have been pending for several weeks. PORTLAND BANKERS IN " s HEARTY ACCORD WITH J. P. MORGAN'S VIEWS (Continued From Page One.) nation would rather trust Morgan than any other man In the position he occu pies. Morgan made a good witness t fore the committee, and he undoubtedly spoke the truth when he said he did noil possess vast power, upe creation Of a financial trust Is Impossible.. Likewise the creation of a group of banker who can control the Industries of the na tion. As long as the banks are com pelled to cooperate under the antiquated banking) system that rides this country we shall have need of Just such able men of principle as Morgan." , agreewith the statement made by Mr. Morgan on the stand when he said be favored "a little competition anl more cooperation : and concentration,' said E. G. .Crawrora, ; vice president of the Lumbermen's National bank. "Com petition is a good thing, but ruinous competition is an evil No matter what banking system- we bave, we wj.ll: al a-aia-have...flftnclaLi:entera-jrarla-is ftbe financial center of France, Berlin for Germany and New York for Amer ica, It Is necessary that outside banks have reserves there, for the reason that the-outslde buelness ultimately is done through one of these centers. 'The fact that a fw"blg banks hold great reserves docs uot Indicate that thu creation of a money trust will follow, These resources are built up largely through deposits of outside banks and the reserve-banks are debtors of tha smaller fellows. For instance, Portland banks having money In a reserve bank in New York asks no favors. The New Yorker asks favors of us, because be "Morgan. I know,' dominates the United States Steel corporation,; soma railroads and other concerns. Other big bankers dominate Industries which they have financed. This power, how ever, is divided among numbers and there are thousands of concerns un touched by these big financial men. For this reason I cannot see how there can be a' universal dominance of the nation's Industries by a 'money trust' as some few addled brained people would have us think." George W. Bates, president of George W. Bates & Co., bankers, said: think Morgan has got control of the finances of this country Just about as much as any one single group can get control. But Morgan is a safo man. There Is a remote possibility of big bankers get ting, together and thus controlling the big. bulk of money to a very limited extent. They could create a panic, X believe, and do it easily. But such a thing is not to their Interest any more than It Is to ours." WORKERS MAY GET CHRISTMAS MONEY Mayor Rushlight notified the Mary land Casualty company ' yesterday that It would be expected to pay without delay the wages due 91 men employed in the construction of the Canyon road sewer by the contracting firm of Hil llard ft McGlnnis which went Into bank ruptcy leaving the laborers nothing but credit slips for two weeks' work. All contractors are required to put up a bond to Insure the completion of the contracts on time- One of. the clauses of the bond guarantees the pay ment of laborers and material men. The contract price of the Canyon road sewer was $43,000 and It lacks only a short time of being completed, but the city can not pay any of the contract priee until the work has been finished and accepted. The poor ' laborers who find themselves facing a " cheerless Christmas do not want to wait Some told the mayor yesterday that they had gone without anything to eat for levjral days and others said their little chllaren were hungry. ' - ' : The mayor's notification to the bond ing company yesterday was In the na ture of an ultimatum, ns he told the representative of the company that he would not permit it to get any more city business if the claims of the Can yon Toad sewer workers were not paid in full today. 1 $50 FINE PUNISHES .
