'aggregate
of presidential
'fight 25 million
PjT By David Lawrence
i" Copyrighted 1S20 '
; Washington, June 4.4-Twenty-five
million dollars is the estimate of the
amount of money -that probably-will
be spent by all political parties in
order to elect the next president of
tjje United States. This figure, prob
ably. In an underestimate at that.
'.The writer is told by the persons who
are likely to be In on the financing of
the national - campaign when the con
ventions have nominated 'their candl
dnten. that In a TJ probability the national
committees will not spend more than a
few million dollars each.
iuiik AcrrAf, ricruEs
Indeed It js questionable whether the
Democrats or Republicans will nhow on
their official records more than $5,000,000
each. y
But If is fully expected that manv mil.
liona of dollars will be spent and there
is no real wey to Kt at the facts because
the federal government has no jurisdic
tion over - the state, . ;- .. ...?.
The truth' ta that th'nniit investi
gation of expenditures In the primary
campaign Is making' the seasoned fi
nanciers of political campaigns-smite. A
mere $500,000 t nothing compared to the
big sums that will oe spent in these
Identical .states." and; perhaps, for one
of the identical candidates when once the
conventions name their",men.:
BTATE, IAWS LAX " '';,- , . ;'
Preparations : are being-made 'for the
most lavish expenditure in the history of
American political campaigns. .Thus far
the inquiry shows that large sums of
money are spent for publicity and ad
vertising and more fabulous amounts" are
put In the hands of "party workers."
Some states have laws which limit the
expenditure In state campaigns. But the
laxity of the more populous states where
Ms electoral votes come from enables
the-politician .o lay his plans so that he
does not com U'trier the jurisdiction of
the federal government.
But if anybody supposes that all this
is going to happen without some spec
tacular Intervention such as come . in
the primary campaigns, he is very, much
mistaken.
The senate committee may 1 not have
made up Its mind as -to what It will do
. during the summer, but It seems certain
that as soon as the conventions have
chosen their men, and an . extra session
of congress Is called, there will be pres
sure to continue the investigation.
DEMOCRATS WATCHFUL
Some Republicans - have said that it
would furnish a splendid opportunity to
Investigate the .Democratic nominee In
asmuch as too much publicity has al
ready been given the financial -efforts
of the various Republican aspirants for
the presidential nomination.
But It is hardly likely that the Demo
crats' would let the matter rest there.
If Attorney General Ialmer is not the
Democratic nominee or If he resigns to
make the tbampaign and another attorney
general is appointed,, the chances are the
Democrats will do a little Investigating
tOO. :" , -
What appears doubtful at the present
moment Is whether the two old . line
parties will "have a tacit truce to drop
Investigating and spend, all they can U
elect -their respective- candidates,, or
Whether they will continue to fight each
other through' publicity and campaign
inveslTgalonsJgWfeiofecase the chances
of a double baVrltedSny est lgatijon.-conducted
by the senate eommitteijn tbes
one 'hand and the department of jus-'
tke n the other, ; can be said to be
good. . '-'-;-, ' "
MOST EXPEDITE TEAB j
. Much Q'Ul depend upon -the choice of
each national convention. Maybe If the
friends of Senator Johnson are disap
pointed and think that money beat them,
they will insist on pursuing the trail,
no matter what effect it has on Repub
lican chances, i f - " '.-? ' -
On the other , hand. Chairman Hayes
and others have repeatedly . hinted at
large sums of money gathered by the
Democrats for the coming campaign and
the opportunity will not be lost to keep
the controversy in the public prints In
the hope of influencing the electoral next
autumft. ;i ' ;
The Investigations may check expendi
tures for Illegal or doubtful purposes.
Press Club Hears '"
Sharp Debate on
Republic for IrisH
The republic of Ireland came under a
cross-fire of argument at the luncheon
Thursday of the Portland Press club.
John R. Murphy,' the first speaker, de
clared the establishment of the republic
in 19 18 expressed the will of the ma
jority, while Harold B. ; Williams de
clared In his opinion, formed luring a
recent visit to Ireland, the majority of
the people and the leaders of the Na
tionalist party, would . nrefer" dominion
rule 'such as is enjoyed by Canada. Aus
tralia.' and New Zealand, ,s
Murphy said Great Britain's legal
right to Ireland is questionable and
that the Irish people have been contend
ing that they should be independent and
that the establishment of a republic was
accomplished as the starting point.
Williams' observations on the Irish
question were Incidental to a discussion
of the industrial situation. He -urged
the abandonment of - old political par
ties for a newi Liberal party.

To Go On; Action
Is I Reconsidered
After receiving legal advice, the state
highway commission -has reconsidered Its
action of Thursday In 'suspending Work
on the Crooked river and Salem-Dallas
roads pending a decision of the supreme
court on the authority of the commission
to establish roads. ;
It has been finally determined, how
ever. In the case of the' Salem-Dallas
road, to do no further paving owing
to the soft condition of the. sub-base.
The road will . be given ,a rock surface

X-RAY DESTINED
TO LESSEN USE OF
SURGEON S KNIFE
By the use of the X-ray, the" time
Is coming soon, when surgeons will
not slice open a patient for appen
dicitis every time a pain develops in
the lower right sideof the abdomen.
Dr.- James T, Case, eminent, surgeon
of the Battle Creek sanitarium and pres
ident of the American X-Ray society,
made this announcement this afternoon
in. an address before the Oregon 1 State
Medical society. He warned the assem
bled 'doctors .against "overhasty oper
ations, many of which he declared are
unnecessary and could i be demonstrated
bo by a more thorough diagnosis. . ; j
ROTABLE DISCOVERIES ARE MADE
During; the war. Dr. Case, made a
t.otable record in France as head of the
X-ray department of the American med
ical corps. : Many f : his discoveries,
made under emergency of war. are now
In common use, ...j; ,.-'.'
"The-X-ray will soon be used in every
physical examination the same as the
stethoscope Is now used.'' Dr.. Case said
lr. an Interview this morning. : He ; pre
dicted h. that patients would expect an
X-ray ' examination. . whenever physical
examination is necessary. Dr. Case said
Improvements In the process have made
it much cheaper, and he believes it will
soon be possible for every physician to
have a machine in his own office.
Dr.J Case is trying daily to correct the
mistaken idea most persons have . that
an X-ray machine is a photographic ma
chine and that a picture must be taken
to produce results. r '- y. ,
i". "A great many patients expect me to
show them a picture, he said. I "The
X-ray is not a picture machine.
;v "It hr a shadow machine. ? Dr. Case
explained that a competent surgeon
could find the affected part of the body
by reading the shadows found with the
aid of the ray. .
Qt the 100.000 i X-ray examinations
made In France, fully 5000 were handled
without any picture, he said. '
More prevalent use of the machine In
finding cancers, "ulcers, troubles in the
lungs, liver and other organs was also
predicted. Mqse time in college courses
is being given to X-ray work. Dr. Case
explained, which means more doctors
win realize tne value of the machine
within a very few years. ' 7
Dr, Case and his family are sruests
at the Hotel Portland. They were given
a ride over the Columbia river highway
this morning. .' i f ,
