above any bther, insisting that every
other American soldier la the country:
would have dona what ha did. and that
he waa only fortunate In being there
as he went on with this magnificent talk,
the audience warmed to him more and
more until when he closed they drew
about him In hundreds, clung to him and
would not let him go till every one there
had shaken his hand.
TEARS FILL EYES
"Tears were In all eyes and a sob In
every throat and a look of pride in every
face that said as plainly as words, "This
is our own son, our own American Ideal
of a man and a soldier.'
"No one who has ever beard Colonel
Whittlesey will miss the opportunity to
hear him again, for he embodies the
very spirit of the boys who fell In Flan
ders field. He is their leader, going on

soclates In the league the limitations of
our constitution, beyond which we can
not go.
"With the least senatorial conversa
tion possible consistent vith the great
interests Involved' we will begin the
actual work of reaching an agreement on
. ratification. I Intend. If elected, to sit
down with the senate soon after the
fourth of March and say: 'Gentlemen,
the time has come to act; we have had
enough conversation. The people have
spoken their mandate and they want us
ta go Into the League of Nations.' "
What steps wosld yoa take be
tweea November and March to wla
over a snfflciest number of the sta
ate epposltloa to assure prompt aetloa
oa the problem of peace after March
Answer :
"You a' k me what steps I would
take between Novembei and March to
win over a ' sufficient number of votes
to . secure ratification. The senatorial
- candidate said t Des Moines : The
.Democratic candidate fsvors going in;
I "favor staying out 1 am not inter
ested In clarification ; I am Interested
In rejection.' That is the issue, and
under those circumstances my election
would be ,a - manrfate from the Amerl
can neODie to the senate to anorove
the entrance of the United States lnt'6
the league with the reservatlonx I have
outlined. For the senate to do other
wise, . regardless of past actions, would
be to treat the mandate of the people
with contempt. During this period
intend to confer with the - president
Ellhu Root ex-President Tsft and all
others who have a sincere purpose and
who are equipped especially as advis
ers In thin work."
"fcIn this Interval would yea get Into
, teach with forelss goversmests on the
'qaestlon of acceptable reservations or
aa entire rhasge of plant If so, how
wo old you establish this contract!
Answer:
"I would not make an attempt to get
. Into touch with foreign governments on
the question of accepting the reserva
tions or as to change of plan. I would.
however, make ue of all Information
, which has been gathered from whatever
source ; and I would respectfully urge
' and request that Information be sought
through our state department concerning
reservations which would be acceptable.
As a matter of fact, there has been Indi
cation that the Hitchcock reservations
which I favor would not be unacceptable
to the allies.
-i Between November and March,
would yon recommend any coarse of ae
tloa for year party to take toward the
treaty of Tersallles aow at the White
Hesse t"
Answer :
;'I do not look upon the League of
Nations or the treaty of Versailles as
a matter of partisan consideration, it
never should have been in politics and I,
therefore, would not seek to secure any
party alignment between November and
March. I want to see the United States
a member of the league at the earliest
possible moment and I am sure that
consummation will come very shortly
after March 4. 1921, as the Joint action
of both parties representing, all the peo
ple of the country."
"6 Woald yoa personally address a
Joint session of congress or send a met
sags to that boay in presenting yonr
program for meeting the international
problem T"
ANSWER
"She observation is pertinent; and on
.matters of Importance in my executive
experience I have always gone in person
to a joint session of the Ohio legislature.
In connection with the program for
meeting our international problems,
which is certainly one of the most im
portant things before us. I would, con
sider it not only highly proper, but
emphatically necessary to go before a
joint session of congress that not only
might a - message . be presented, but

they should sell at low enough a. price
to enable development companies to pre
pare the lands in this manner.
LANDS USELESS NOW
In their present status the lands are
almost worthless for settlers. If a por
tion of each tract were cleared so the
settler could have a space to do some
gardening, raise chickens and do small
farming, then he could make a living
and stay on his land while he gradually
cleared up rubbish. A logged-off land
settler now has a millstone around his
neck."
Interest which Benson manifested In
the proper development of logged-off
lands was also manifested in a general
way by his statement on satisfactory im
migration which follows.
"We are not satisfied to send out set
tlers for land In the West and turn them
loose. We want to see them satisfied.

rare or tne settler as any community in
the West and unless he is satisfied and
stays we have lost our traffic possibil
ity which, after all, is the interest of any
railroad in land settlement
INSPECTION ORDERED
"For this very reason we have
brought our Immigration men out over"
our line. They must be In personal
touch with the developments and indus
tries in each district so they can give
the best of information to prospective
settlers."
Benson has been with the N. P. for
25 out of the last 35 years, but for the
last four years has been commissioner of
agriculture in the state of Washington.
He took his present post October 1.
As former commissioner of agriculture
in Washington. Benson is thoroughly
familiar with the gigantic Columbia
basin Irrigation project, and upon this
subject he said:
"I don't think there Is any question
that the Columbia basin project will be
built some time. How soon depends
upon two questions. The first is that
of finance and the second that of set
tlement.
"Any development demands a tre
mendous effort for land settlement.
otherwise the interest would run too
high on the acreage. No irrigation dis
trict , was ever successful until pros
perous settlers were oa Vie land.
COMMUNITIES MUST AID
"This project requires the sdpport of
every community In the Northwest Any
development or such magnitude could ;
not help benefiting every community In
tne Northwest, either directly or in-!
directly." j
Members of the nartv. in addition
to Benson and Byerly, were traveling
immigration agents, as follows: R. E.
Goodemote and John F. Fox. Chicago;
K. K. Kats and O. L. Stark. Kansas

the Union station by a committee from
the Chamber of Commerce, headed by

Senator Chamberlain also paid his
respects to Monta vllle Flowers, repre
senting the California-Oregon Power
company and R. N. Stanfield, the Cali
fornia spellbinder, who has been sent
up from Los Angeles to campaign
against him and who has boasted that
he was sent into Oregon to insure Cham
berlain's defeat Chamberlain told how.
when the California-Oregon Power com-1
pany. a California corporation owned
and controlled by the Fleishhacker in
terests of California, had sought to se
cure a contract permitting it to build
a dam across Klamath lake, he had
opposed the contract He related how
he had protested to Franklin K. Lane,
then secretary of the interior, also from
California, and he told how, in spite of
his protests. Lane had signed the con
tract BIO OBAB IS HALTED
The senator explained to his audience
how, under the Lane contract the Cali
fornia power company aa proceeding
to inundate 15,000 acres of valuable land
in Klamath county sought by returned
service men and others for homes, in
order to Irrigate a vast tract of arid
land in Northern California belonging
to powerful financial Interests of that
state. And the senator told how he had
parried his protests to John Barton
Payne, the present secretary of the in
terior, who, on Chamberlain's showing,
had ordered the power company to stop
the construction of its dam.
"Now," Senator Chamberlain said.
"Monta ville Flowers has come to Oregon
from California, boasting that he has
been sent here to defeat me. Why has
he been sent here, from another state,
to campaign in Oregon and to tell Ore
gon voters whom to elect to represent
tnem in tne united states senate? Who
In California has so much Interest In
the senatorial election in Oregon? It
Is my belief that the campaign tour
of Montavilla Flowers is belna- financed
by the California-Oregon Power com
pany and the associated financial In
terests that want to use Oregon's great
natural reservoir of the Klamath lake
to irrigate California lands owned by
them."

Miss Anne Shannon Monroe, who heard
Colonel Whittlesey speak In New York
soon alter his return from France, gives
a graphic picture of the scene.
"One of the finest pictures in my mma
recorded Just after the American troops
began to return from France is that of
Colonel C. W. Whittlesey before a New
York audience," said the Portland
writer. "It w&sat the Church of the
Ascension, perhaps the most popular
church on Fifth avenue. The famous
commander of the "lost battalion" had
been announced as the speaker for Sun

"He began to talk in a quiet unemo

once that here was a man with his own
