12 THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL; PORTLAND. OREGON SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1021. LODGE WHIP PUTS NEW SENATORS IN LINE FOR VOTING Washington, June 18.- (WASH INGTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR NAL) Senatorlally speaking', things are looking: well for Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. Republican leader of the senate. In the same ratio, things are not looking: exceptionally well for legislation for the West. , There is a herd of 14 new Republican senators and all but a few are from the west They have been.--a'""great boon lor the wily Mr. Lodge. At first there was apprehension that some of them might be wild horses, with notions of their : own and with breezy western ways. If they could be trained to fol . low the trail of the leader and not wander into the pastures where John son and Borah and Lenroot so often disport themselves, all would .be well for Lodge. ' COLOMBIAN TREATY TEST The. Colombian treaty made a good training course.' This made a good point for the slogan, "Support the Presi dent." It worked out well. Norbeck, - of South Dakota, was the only perverse member of the herd. . Mr. Lodge seems more secure In his leadership than he had hoped to be. With the. new, senators Inspired with - the importance of being "regular" and Impressed with the fear of discipline - should they disobey, the lines are laid for putting through the program and putting other things into the pigeonhole. - The other things include most of those measures that the progressive west sup ports. T Later on there will be the time of awakening. The test will come for western senators between staying regu lar and supporting Lodge, or turning to support what these senators know their constituents want. ANY ISSUE MAY DECIDE The Issue may ' turn on taxation, or . the tariff, or reclamation, or something not yet clearly defined. In these mat ters the interests represented by Lodge and -the Interests the new senators are supposed to represent are likely to come Into sharp conflict. - Some of the new senators, and older ones whose terms are soon to expire, are uneasy over patronage. In many states the , senators are, not in perfect agree ment, and are watching each other to see that their particular friends are not neglected. They ; fear that if they go wrong now they may suffer when the distribution of patronage is' well under way, and that this will mean loss of prestige in their home states. The- old guard la gaining considerable satisfaction : from the recent addresses of the president suggesting "less poli tics : in business and more business in government." ' OLD GUARD SEE8 HOPE They interpret this to mean the defeat of the Calder coal control bill, the curb ing of the federal trade commission In vestigations, the squelching of any ef fort to materially, change the Esch Cummihs transportation . act, and a soft hand generally in dealing with the big Industrial Interests. The task of Mr. Lodge in the first few weeks had been to .make sure of his . grip; with the new senators, so that he may feel reasonably certain f a. ma jority keeping .step with him when im portant things come to pass. , The west erners who have found so much satis faction in following so far have got to endure their hardest, testa.
