It being xomcwhat impracticable at
prc;H;nt to elect a democrat as presi
dent of thc state senate, it is pleas
ins to learn that Roy W. Ritm r's
chances are godd for that distinction.
Senator Ritncr is thc kind of a solon
who rides cn the legislative band
wagon ami helps to get things done.
He never runs around in circles with
a helpless and hopeless minority, be
wailing steam roller tactics. He is
rather apt, in fact, to be driving the
steam roller or at least stoking thc
engine. Moreover, he is a hard-working,
tactful and able legislator, and
has a good record of service. The
. election of Mr. Ritner to the presi
dency of the upper house would af
ford recognition of Eastern Oregon
to which we feci that this great pro
ducing section of the state is at least
occasionally entitled.
The New York Sun condemns
Root's plan for a world court as "an
integral part of the League's ma
chinery and an integral part of the
League itself." As this admission
, shows, the two great minds of the
two great parties are in virtual ac
cord as to thc League of Nations,
which the Old Guard republicans and
their candidate would destroy for
reasons blindly partisan.
