FEAR LACK OF

IMPACT
Should Measure Now Being
Considered Fail TO PaSSj
Little Liklihood 0 f
Farm Aid This Session.
By A. O. HAYWARD
(I. N. S. Staff Correspondent)
Washington. May 21. The fate of
the McNary-Haugen bill, setting up
a $200,000,000 government export
er.
corporation, to sell agricultural pro
ducts abroad and stab.lize prices, is
considered uncertain today, and it it
fa lis of passage tJiere is scant likli
hood of farm relief legislation of any
kind by the present congress. Opposi
tion to the measure is consolidating
rapidly. Only a fear that its defeat
will eliminate all chances of farmer
rrelief before Jtine 7, the hoped-for
date ot adjournment of toe session, is
holding many congressmen to its sup
port. Congressman Rainey, democrat of
Illinois, brought forth a substitute bill
today which offers only aid to the
wheat farmers, flour millers and
packers of pork products.
Debate on the fnrmer-relfef legisla
tion will be resumed tomorrow and
continued until Saturday, when it is
hoped a final vote on the bill will be
possible. Many witnesses to the bill
are being prepared. Farm bloc lead
ers are campaigning among city con
gr ess men for support.

Portland, May SI. With returns
mlsslnR; from 9B precincts, Milton
A. Miller last night was leading
W. H. Htrayer by 14 votes for the
democratlo nomination for United
Plates senator. Another close con
test was between Henry Waldo Cos
and 8. D. Peterson for the sevonth
place among the delegates at large
to the republican national conven
tion. Aside from these two con
tests the results ot the primaries,
held last Friday, were beyond
a"bt. ,
The vote of Miller stands lo.m.
Btraysr's vote Is lO.JSS, giving Mil
ler the slender margin of 143.
The missing precincts In the
democratic senatorial contest were
as follows: Clatsop. 1; Coos, 42:
Crook, 4; Curry, 1; Qllllam. 1;
Ornnt. 4: ackson, S: Lsne, 7, and
Morrow, t. The Curry county pre
cincts represent all the votes In
that county cast In the democratic
primaries, no report having, come
out from that remote section. Most
of the missing precincts are In tho
far reacbos of the state, where the
vote Is small and whers the demo
crats are few. It will probably re
oulre not only the complete but the
official count aa well lo determine
whether Miller or Htrayer Is tho
ultimata winner. The contest has
the same sort of neck and neck
finish that marked the republican
ruhernatnrlal race two years s
between lien Olcott and Charles
Hall.
Oregon la entitled to seven dele
gates at large to the republican
national convention. Those whose
election Is certain are Ulshop. Car
ey, Carter, Karrell, Metschan and
A. , Johnson. The seventh place
was a contest between Coe and
Peterson, with the latter leading
hy lis votes.
Returns, complete, from 122 pre
clncta out ot 17S3 gave the follow.
Ing results: Peterson, 88,531: Coe,
26.412. The missing 52ft preelhcla
