He declared in favor of letting the people of Europe have any kind of government they want in Europe and letting them fight their own battles. ALL RIGHT BUT ALL WBOHGt "How about Taftr shouted a pro league Republican. "How about Hughes?" queried another. "Oh. Taft and Hughes are all right but they are wrong on the League of Nations." replied Polndexter. The Washington league opponent In sisted that the nations cannot be ef fectively disarmed through the league. If the nations do not fight with battle ships and machine guns, Polndexter de clared, they will fight with bows and arrows and spears, and if they are taken away, the fight will be continued with rocks and sticks. He denounced the present government for "lack of pre pardeness" and said many an American soldier is dead in Europe because be was not protected by armaments. The Washington senator came into Or egon, not only, to attack the League of Nations, but to try to defeat Senator Chamberlain. He appealed for a repub lican senate and pointed out that the re publican majority now is only two. HOW ABOUT KEWBEBRT! "How did you get 'emT" a man in the gallery queried. By the votes of the American people" Polndexter answered. "How about Newberry V came another question. The senator took a drink of water. Polndexter made no reference to Chamberlain's record In the senate. He made no attack on Oregon's senior sen ator.

He attacked President Wilson and his administration and assured his audi ence that the people of "Oregon will find Senator Harding sympathetic to their needs."
