4 THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1916. PICKINGS' SURETO BE GOOD FOR OLD GUARD SHOULD HUGHES WIN Debts of Gratitude to Penrose, i Roosevelt, Smoot'and Per , kins Must Be Paid, JOY FOR STANDPATTERS Vuui, Cannon, ToiAnaj Would Sole la Scnm, Willi Qalllnger, Penrose, Smoot Would Control Senate, SOCIALIST CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENCY -A Washington Oct. 11. (WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.) If Charles E. Hughes realizes his pres idential ambition, and tho Republicans at the same time should secure con trol of both branches of congress, i remarkable situation would7 be sure to develop. Hughes would owe gratitude to Penrose and Rocsevelt, to Reed Smoot and Ueorge W. Perkins. which fac tion would deserve the greatest meas ure may be a matter for dispute, bin the new president would without fluent Ion be called upon lo show his hand very soon. As a matter of practical politics, there Is no doubt as to who would hold the upper hand. ' Ham Would Be Speaker. The reactionaries would be firmly entrenched In the places of power, and the progressive element would Struggle in a hopeless minority. Hughes would have to do business cllh Mann, Cannon and Fordney in the house, and with Oalllnger. Pen rose and Smoot In the senate, Just as Taft did, or he could get nowhere. All agree that "Jim" Mann, repre sentative of the stock yards district of Chicago, and present Republican floor leader, will be speaker of the house If the G. O. P. regains control, and his sway would be made near absolute through a revision of the rulea. He Is. a standpatter from way back. Wo Queis as to Tariff. "Uncls Joe" Cannon would again take a commanding position in the house. J. W. Fordney, Michigan tlm bernian and apostle of high protec tion, who (n the recent session proud ly applied the name of "standpatter", to himself, would become by promo tion the chairman of the ways and innniin riiiinini i hk. m ill rn iiiMKf M hi ri unmakes tariffs. Flanking him on that committee re other "rockrlbbers," such as Gard ner of Massachusetts, Moore of Penn sylvania, Hill of Connecticut and Bloan of Nebraska. It can easily he foretold what kind of tariff bill l-'ordney's committee would send over to the senate. Wait ing to receive it there, and to further revise It upward, would be Penrose, as chairman of the senate tariff makers, assisted, as members of the same committee, hy Lodge of Massa chusetts, (lallinger of New Hamp shire, Kmoot of I'tali and McCumber Of North Dakota. Would "Oo the Umlt." j The bill would no doubt be known i as the Fordney-Penrose bill, and the Payne-Aldrlch bill would no doubt . have to look well to Its laurels In tariff history. The military and naval affairs com tnittees of the two bodies would be dominated by tho same interests that last winter sought to add stupend ously to Hie expense of preparedness. If consistent, they would proceed In many Instances to double the cost ot military and t naval defense. Kahn of California would become chairman of military affairs In tho house, and du Pont of Delaware would advance to the same post in the senate. Both are exponents of "go the limit" policies. A similar feast would be spread on the appropriations committee. V ' Y i 4 A V;t Warren of Wyoming would be re stored to the chairmanship of thj senate body, where he has a notable record for dispensing large sums for worthless military posts and colossal postoffices In villages. It may be worth noting that Gal linger and Smoot rank nesct to him on that committee, in splendid posi tion to whack the heads of the re bellious. The only escape from a carnival of reaction would be in a revolt of progressive Republican senators, such as La Follette, Polndexter and Hiram Johnson (assuming that this trio succeeds In November), and such a revolt would merely mean another long ruction, without hope of con structive legislation. For those who know Penrose, Gal llnger, Smoot, et al, know that In the future, as in the days of Taft, these men will know exactly what they want, and no legislation bearing a progressive brand could escape their watchfulness. WORD "DRAFT' IN ARMY ACT CAUSES BENSON TO CONDEMN WILSON (Continued From Putt One.) marks of Chairman Hay of the house military committee from the Congres sional Record to the effect that the word "draft" was necessary to give the president "the powers desired." The speaker next attacked the United States appropriations for the army and navy for 1917, which amount to $662, 476.612, pointing out that in 3913 the nations now engaged In war had ap propriated as follows: Great Britain, J461.830.549: Germany, 1295,181,126; France. $281,596,205; Russia. J435,308,'667: Austria-Hungary, $124,300,000; Italy. $132,478,147; Japan. $97,105,152. Biggest Collar 'for Hughes. Hughes, he said, wasn't saying any thing about the draft clause because it was such a "bill as Wall street had wanted for many a year." . Speaking of the ncceptabllity of both Hughes and Wilson to Wall street Mr. Benson said that the only difference between them Is that the Interests "be lieve that Hughes will wear a larger collar than Wilson." Mr. Benson declared that "the great navy Is to enable the capitalists of the United States to hold the foreign trade which they captured during this war nd the army appropriation was made for the purpose of keeping the working classes of the United States In proper subjection while competing with the working men of Europe and to steal at the first opportunity the northern states of Mexico." j "Who Got Wealth?" I "Mr. Wilson boasts that the wealth of the country has Increased $41,000. 000,000 since his administration came into power," said the speaker. "I.know who-produced it. but who "got It? Not the workers who produced tt but the capitalists of the country, in cluding the men who create a food scarcity and corresponding high prices In this country by exporting food to Europe. "I would use the navy to blockade every American port and prevent the export of a pound of food." The Socialist candidate quoted Mr. Wilson as saying that a large navy and armv will not mike for militarism In thfs country because "a predatory. warlike spirit is necessary" and went 1 on to say that little groups of peace- j professing owning classes In Europe, ! exactly similar to those we have In the j United States, forced the war there." j Attacks Hughes. ' "President Wilson," he continued. ' "warned the country in March that ; Americans owning concessions in Mexico were, trying to bring about war between this country and Mexico." "Give the. Socialist party 3.000,000 or more votes in this campaign," ho urged, "and BWing the big red lan tern In front of the oncoming train of militarism." Attacking Hughes, the speaker told of his corporation law practice and of a decision of the New York court of appeals which said of him, when he was trying to prevent wires being put underground in New York city, . that "the contention of counsel seems to proceed on the assumption that , nobody except his clients has any j rights." j "He was an Intimate friend of John D. Rockefeller Jr.," said Mr. Benson. . "but they are not together this year. j at least not in daylight." He was a Bible class teacher In Rockefeller's Fifth Avenue Baptist church and ho 1 received a campaign contribution of $20,000 from Mr.- Rockefeller when he ran for governor of New York in ' 1906. Later he vetoed the 2-cent fare law, which was beneficial to Mr. Rockefeller, who owned great blocks of railroad stocks. Criticises President Wilson. . "Next he put over a gold brick public service commission, this after sending his famous message urging ! the legislature not to ratify the In-1 come tax amendment, and then he went to Washington where, as a mem ber of the supreme court, he concur red In the Danbury Hatters' decision, doing his best to take '.heir homes away from a few old men who hud the audacity to strike and try to get others not to use the goods of their former employers." The speaker next proceeded to linli President Wilson up with the Morgan interests, doing this by pointing out that the house of Morgan had financed McAdoo's tubes and Wilson had later appointed McAdoo secretary of the treasury. . "Later," he said. "Mr. Wilson at first ; decided that the European belligerents ; should not be allowed to float loans in : this country, holding It unneutral, then changed his mind." j The president was referred to as ' "the new friend and old enemy" of labor, the speaker quoting from an ad dress which he delivered to a Prince ton graduating class in 1909 in which he said that organized labor curtailed production.

President Wilson and Secretary Lansing of the state department, kept the lights burning at Shadow Lawn until a late hour last night while they discussed the situation created by the active operations of German subma rines In American waters. The conference Is expected to re sult in a note to Germany suggesting that a continuation of the submarine warfare so close to the shores of the United States might easily endanger the existing friendly relations be tween the two countries. Such a communication would serve two purposes, it is stated: First Germany would be asked bv Indirection to recall the submarine from this side of the Atlantic ocean. Second The kaiser's government would be warned that the loss of a single American life as result of a violation of the agreement on cruiser warfare would mean a definite break in diplomatic relations. The note would not. have basis in international law. Neither would it be an - Insinuation that Germany has so far violated any right by placing submarines off the New England coast and sinking British vessels. It would be intended s a precaution against "accidents" such as often lead to war. Similar Warning Sent Britain. It Is pointed out by persons who tolkcd with President Wilson yesterday that a communication somewhat simi lar In character and purpose was 6ent to Great Britain more than a year ago when a patrol of allied warships was established Just outside of New York harbor. At that time the commanders of many vessels flying the American flag suffered the inconveniences of being held up and questioned. For several months the foreign vessels hovered so close to the three-mile limit that the United States navy established i patrol to prevent possible violations of neutrality. The state department complained end in answer, Great Britain, without admitting the legality of the position ttken by this government, agreed to exercise extraordinary vigilance to avoid annoying American trade. i In short time the French and British ships were withdrawn further from this shore. President Wilson is said to have re iterated the opinion that commanders o; the German submarines now in this vicinity have strictly observed all ex isting agreements. President 3eaTe for Thinks. After an early breakfast this morn ing with Lansing, the president left for a game of golf and nothing re garding his conference with the secre tary of state was forthcoming from the summer White House offices. It is likely, however, that steps will be taken at once to get further informa tion as to Germany's future inten tions if these have not already been taken and to determine whether Ger many plans to make her campaign against enemy shipping on this side of the Atlantic permanent. germanyTs believed to have acted to put issue before natrons Washington, Oct 11. (I. N. S.) That Germany will agree to refrain from attempting to blockade American ports with a submarine fleet but will insist on the right to operate gener ally along regular steamship lanes in attacks upon "enemy commerce." Is the belief expressed here today in ad ministration and diplomatic circles. It Is believed this position will be assumed when the United States re iterates Ao Germany the protest simi larly made regarding Anglo-French operations off the larger harbors on the Atlantic coast. It Is thought that Germany already has carefully consid ered the effect submarine operations on this side of the Atlantic would have on American public sentiment and that the trip of the U-53 was made with the purpose of bringing the matter to a head. The fact that the United States, as leading neutral, has refused to accept the contention of the allies that sub marines should be denied the rights of American ports Is expected to aid In amicable solution of the submarine question, especially If the government makes the friendly request that Ger many keep her craft away from Ameri can waters. Baker Firemen Save Stores of Merchants Baker. Or., Oct. 11. A fire which for a time threatened a large portion of the central business section, was confined to two small buildings by val iant work on the part of firemen early last evening.
