WASHINaTON, Dec. L (WASH
INGTON BUREAU OFTHEJQTJR-
KAU-Ohlo, always an interesting
state to a political sense.- promises to
cure a large share of attention during
the coming year. Its behavior in the
primaries and the November election win
probably have mora to do with taa turn
of national politics than the action of
any other .state..-- f.v--
It will be watchfully regarded, .for
ne reason, because It la the home of
the president. It la also the "borne of
James M. Cox. but Cos seems to be a
receding star, and from the standpoint
of . the Democrats the greatest .interest
wut center In the race of Senator Atlee
Fomerene xor another term in the sen-
It is being said in Washington that
If Mr. Pomerena comes back to the sen
ate he will be a strong contender for
the, nomination lor president . in 124
He stepped aside for. Cox in 1(20 after
being urged to enter, the lists, If he is
strong enough to be reelected next year,
hiaTlctory win certainly place him well
to the front when the time to. pick can
didates comes in, lz - t
Republicans in Ohio are somewhat ap
prehensive concerning Pomerena. They
concede that he , a - good vote-getter
and that they will have to fight bard
to put him out of the way, despite the
Immense majority Harding received. ,
Governor Harry I. Davis will be a
candidate for the Republican nomin
tion for the senates and will have the
support of tha labor element. The or-
gamsaon as expected te favor either
Congressman Nicholas Long-worth or
Congressman Simeon Z. Fees, the pre
vailing belief being thai one or the
other win be a candidate. 4
- The best guess is Fees, 'who Is chair
man of ' the Republican congressional
committee, an ex-college ' president, and
a man with a good party record behind
him In the house. Longworth Is thought
less likely to enter the race because of
hla excellent prospects to become floor
leaser in u - noose in tne next con
gress. The present floor leader. Repre
sentative-, Mondell of Wyoming, will re
tire at the end of his term to become
a candidate for the senate.
The last tune Pomerena was elected
to the senate he . defeated Myron T.
Herrick, the present . ambassador to
France, si man . of large means and
former governor. Pomertne did tha- un
expected thing : when he beat Herrick.
and be is certain to stage an Interesting
fight next year. At the same ttme the
friends of the president will put fprth
their utmost efforts to keep Ohio In the
Republican line In the election of
senator. .

grese because the report came In Just
about the time that the war department
and Mngressv because bf th war, de
cided that work on new projects should
se postponed. " .
It will be impossible to include tn the
bill an tha new projects favored by the
engineers, bur It Is believed that the
projects which have had to wait longest
will be taken up, except in cases where
unusual merit or urgency can be plead'
ed for projects covered by later reports.
The budget estimates carry $27.OOe.0O0
for maintenance and. continuation of ex
Is ting projects. This sum should not be
confused with the proposed expend!
ture la the new project bill, which Mr.
Hawley thinks will carry $40,000,000.
. The $27,000,000 estimate of the budgwt
IS related entirely to existing- projects.
aa the officials of the war department
are confined o expenditures for objects
already authorized by congress. It
ctsaarOr omits the Coos Bay Jetty

The St. Lawrence project depends in
targe part upon the expectation of
power development to follow. It has
been . estimated that from the power
broug-ht into use the entire one traction
can be liquidated. This serves to draw
attention in the Mississippi valley states
to electrical progress and to Quicken in
terest throughout th East.
The feeling i here is that -tne urn is
ripe for great electrical . exposition
and that torn city win make a Ttnn
by putting oa the "greatest electrical
show of tne electrical as." This seems
to appeal t i the average imagination

The cheat workers are highly appre

from the Chambers of Commerce of San

to his letter requesting their coopera
tion in remedying the ahlpplng aituatloa

merce of the foregoing cities last TUg-ht
and said that aa soon aa their willing
ness to cooperate la received, he will
push tha project to a conclusion. -;,
A part of th messagtt received by th
Portland , Chamber of Commerc from
A. D. Lasker. chairman of the shipping
board, follows: .. v
Th shipping board heartily favore
the Idea, believing that If the United
States Is to occupy Its proper place on
tha Facif.o It is necessary in addition
to such government aid as 1 now pro-'
Tided by law or may be further provided
that", success can - only be insured
through popularly-owned, popularly
financed, privately-operated large cor
poration that shall represent all of the
interests and all the ports of the Pacific
coast states in order that cooperation
between all the ports may be assured
so that the United States may present
a united effort tn the development of the
Padflo. , - : f ,';v,?- - V.4""
Presideat Harding knows of and ap
proves the tentative plan. The com
panie consulted at a recent meeting
suggested that Herbert Ilelshhaeker of
8aa Francisco b requested to call t a
meeting of the respective Chambers- of
Commerce of all tha Padflo ports and
In this tha ahlpplng board concurred and
conferred with Fleiahhacker on what it
bad in view so that be in turn misbt
communicate on the ground with the
various chambers so that the whole nat
ter might be thoroughly discussed. -!
Tt Is not th shipping board's Idea to
favor one port against another, ' but
rather to use Its assets and ' its good
offices to bring all tha ports of tha Pa
cific together la a concerted effort to
develop each port to it utmost possi
bilities in the interest of th whole.
The shipping board feels that if all
tha people of tha Pacific .coast are
united In one great company that Can
not only acquire the government's ships
needed but also build such new. ships
as are necessary and with atn;
tal to finance operations, the V
coast ports of the United State 4
developed as in no other way. J . v :
On behalf of tha shipping bo
urge that your chamber b represe.,

may get th "benefit of the matcne
