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

" .. Jng, may be expected to share the horror
of Martin, Simmons and Johnston,' but
they will come Into sharp conflict with

-. 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

competition is an evil No matter what

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
