that Senator Harding had been nomi

"The president "thinks of one thing,
and one thing only," the governor said,
"lie talks of it more than anything
else, and it Js this:
"He gave a promise to the mothers

senatorial Contest Regarded as
More Doubtful, With Possibil
ity of G. 0. P. Holding Its Own
By Robert J. Bender
ft'niud News Staff Correspond Tit. )
New York, Oct. 30. With the
presidential contest now as defi
nitely settled as it can be with threw
more days left before the balloting
begins, the fight for control of the
senate has assumed surpassing im
portance. In the 33 states, electing
34 senators, there are some of the
bitterest and closest contests ever
staged in a senatorial campaign. In
at least a half dozen of these states,
the outcome can only be guessed
with the gravest misgivings by the
prognosticator because in each
swing of a few thousand votes to one
side o.- the other would change the
final result.
On this senate depends when and how
the United States is to effect peace
with Germany and whether or not it
is to join in an association of nations
to . preserve of the world thereafter,
The closing days of the campaign find
the league of nations issue, therefore,
competing with local issues and a de
sire for revenge by suffragists on anti
suffrage senators, as determining fac
tors in the outcome.
SOUTH IS CERTAIN
Most of the contests can be dismissed
quickly because their outcome is cer
tain. For example, the southern states.
with the exception of Arlsona, are cer
tain to send to Washington their usual
quota. They number nine out of the
34 to be elected. There also is no doubt
about the re-election of Senator Curtis

of it all opposition and dissatisfaction

inspired our allies with new .hope and
brought to our enemy his first tremor !
of fear. That report was the basis and J
inspiration of our great effort which
changed the course of the world. j
"As acting judge advocate general
during the war I was the chief law ad

that our successes in military policy.

were due, in major part, to Senator

FOR MILITARY JUSTICE
"The system of military justice advo
cated by him in 1917 finally became the
law cf the land on June 4. 1920. In the
meanwhile it was his efforts that led
to the adoption in the war department
of a system of review of court-martial
administration which resulted in the
general setting aside of many unjust
sentences and the release of some 10,000
unjustly Imprisoned men.
"He was ever the able, intelligent,
fearless servant of the country, the
army, the individual soldier and citizen,
what he has done for the protection

praise, and every parent who had a son

By Ralph Watson
The voters of Oregon, during Tues
day next, will elect a United States
senator and determine the Cham
ber lain -Stan field contest, one of
vital and immediate interest to the
people and the progress of the state.
George E. Chamberlain Is a candidate
for reelection. No state has a senator
more noted, wider known, of greater per
sonal power and influence in the United
States senate than he.
The issue that confronts the voters of
Oregon is the retention of Senator Cham
berlain in office, with, the power and the
influence., the advantageous committee
amignmrau and the undisputed working
efficiency gained by him through 12
yean ef , service and the tradition 11
power of seniority that goes with ex

and, by comparison, entirely unquali

of San Francisco and of California, are
not asleep to this issue in Oregon. They
have been quick to realise its impelling
importance to Washington and to Cali
fornia as welL They have been quick to
seise the opportunity to weaken Ore
gon's position in the senate for their
own commercial and industrial advan

paigners into the state to persuade the
voters of Oregon to defeat Chamberlain I
and elect StanSeld.
Oregon, now, in peculiarly fortunate

the reverse holds , true, and s 1 a re

have places upon the commerce com
