the senator from llaker and myself
we. feel that we are too sure of our
Ocmocr.'iry to make it necessary for
us to nominate one of us for the pi'cs-ideiH-y
of thin senate. We do not
believe, Mr. i'roident. in briiiiiiiitf
politics into the senate. I hope 1
will not be reminded while in this
senate that I am a Democrat. The
people did not scud us here to play
politics, but to work for their tern il
Kod, and few as we arc. the Demo
cratic minority, propose to do that.
I am not personally afraid that the
Kieat Republican party will swallow
me if I do not call the attention of
the members to the fact that 1 am a
Dcmivrat. In fact. .Mr. 1'rcsiilcnt.
due respect for your digestive or
gans would make you hesitate about
swallowing me. 1 feel satisfied that
the faction!) in your own party will
keep your digestive organs in action,
should mix your diet by swallowing
Democrat while, perchance, tome
of our Democratic friends through
out the ttale of Oregon should feel
inclined to criticize the senator from
lt.ik.r and myself for not playing
partisan politics, I want to say that
we propose to practice what the Pat
ron Saints of Democracy preached
for years and yean. 1 do not believe,
Mr. President, that you should play
partisan politics, especially if you are
in the minority.
Vow. Mr. President, I think I have

have not given you sufficient reason
I want to say to you in all sincerity
that 1 have the greatest possible re

Now do not think for a minute that 1
am talking about your tariff policy,
nor your money policies, nor your

your policies are rotten. (Laughter)
But there is a habit that you have
which I will term a fixed policy.
Some of you say it is a had habit.
Democrats say it is a good habit, but
I am going to dignify it with the
name of a fixed policy, because I be

good policy that you l.avc, and I be

broad patriotism. That policy to
which 1 refer it the way in which you

Bible, remember the story where Mo

to the Promised Land, and he ran
face to face with an tniMirmouiitable
and impassable harrier in the way of

led his host through to the land of
promise. The Republican party, my
friends, by their great patriotism,
cleverly and Iiiet!y end rvculy pailcd
in the last election and permitted a
law-giver and statesman to bring the
people of American between the con
lending factious into the land of
promise. Mr. President, the Repub
licans of the state of Oregon arc par
ticularly patriotic. They helped to
put Wilson in the presidency, and
thus won my gratitude, and to de
voted are liicy to the policies of Pres
ident Wilson, and so anxious are they
that those policies be carried out to
the cud, they l.avc for years main
tained in the senate of the United
Slates, two rock-ribbed Democrats to
carry 'that policy through, Lnd in or
der that these policies may be con
tinued they have repe .ted the opera
tion. Now isn't that a reason why I
should be grateful? Hut coming down
locally, Mr. President, the people of
Oregon Iilvc maintained in the gov
ernor's chair for long, long years pat
riotic Democratic, governors, tl.ut as
suring to the state of Oregon good

why the Democratic riinorily of the
senate should show their gratitude
by voting for the Republican nomi
nee ? '.
1 second everything that was said
about Lair Thompson. I think 1 know
him as no one of thcte people know
him. They have known him in a po
litical way. I knew him as a bare
footed hoy selling papers ou the
streets of Albany, and lie sold papers
too sold many of them; I knew him
when he was struggling for his edu
cation; I knew his old father, and at
the kmc of that old father he re
ceived lessons in i.n.'rsly, inlr.irriiy.
and in patriotism.. The old father
could not give him money, rnd it was
necessary for Lair to use these quali
ties that he had goiter from his fath
er by precent, by -exai.iple. and b in
heritance, in order to educate him
self,' and he has done it. And I tell
you, Mr. President, v.hetl.er he be
Democrat or Republican, or what not,
4 take off my liat to the young man
that putt temptation lsrhind him and
in his poverty grows in strength and
makes of himself tiic man that l-air
Thompson has made.
I am told by Mr. Thompson, I am
assured by him, Mr. President, that he
recognizes the burden under .which
the people of the State of Oregon are
-laboring, and that he recognizes the
fact that the people have sent us here
to lessen and lighten those burdens,
and he has assured me that he intends
to bring to tiic high office that yon
temporarily occupy all the powers he
has to carry out the promises that he
made and 1 made to the people. I
believe him because he never told me
a story; and believing him, just so
long at he followt out the policies he
hat enunciated to me, just so long
will I give him the encouragement of
my support and my vote. Mr. Pres
ident, I pause to say in all fairness,
if the time comes, and I do not think
it will come, when I am convinced
that he and the gentlemen that are
back of him are forgetting the prom
ises they made to the people and put
ting them behind, and are attached
by new Gods, then will 1 contevd, and
fight with all that is in me, to defeat
those policies.
Mr. President, I take pleasure in
see-r.Jiiig the nomination of Mr.
Thompson.
AU STRIANS HAVE HARD TIME
TRYING TO CHECK RUSSIANS
By William 0. Shepherd
(United Press Correspondent)
lluda Pesth. Dec. 2. (Bb mail to
New York.) What's the use of wish'
iug good luck to a man who's going
to die? There's no luck about that.
But I did it just the same, in f.'.ose
last two days at Przemysl; in those
last forty-eight hours before we piled
belter skelter out of the city, before
the Russian onrush. It was hard busi
ness, too. These men were going to
stay in the city, to defend it. There
were thousands of us who had been
ordered out but these men were of the
few thousands who had been ordered
to remain and to fight to the last
drop of their blood. They couldn't
go. They must hold Przemysl or
die.
I had dined thrice daily for several
weeks with some of these officers
who had received the orders to re
main and taying goodbye to them
was one of the hardest things I've ev
er had to do. I knew their smiles, I
knew their voices, I knew their jokes,
their favorite wiil-s, their (favorite
j cigarette, something about this fellow's
home life, lotmetlung about this
chap's three children, I had dipped in
to their lives jttit enough to know
and to form friendships. And then
the end of the Russian line began to
snap around the circle of Przemysl's
forts, like a whip around a sapling,
and Przemysl was doomed. And that
last evening, when I said goodbye to
these men, who must stay in Przemysl
through the seige, my smile musr
have been glassy. '
I taw one of I hem once more. It
was the next morning, at 7 o'clock, in
the Przemysl cathedrrl, b;:dy day
light. I be evening before the man
who is to be the next emperor of
Austria, had come into Przemysl in
hit automobile, after a hundred mile
ride, fie h.td come to go to church
with these men; to join them in a
farewell nuss; to say good bye to
tl.cm auj to tell them that Austry
Hungary depended on them to hold
the forts of Przemysl or die in their
wreckage.
And, in this audience of officers, I
taw a few of my Austrian officer
fiicnds, earnest-faced, devout, kneel
ing, bowing, crossii g themselves,
reading the prayers, partaking in tiic
death-mast with a man for whose
kingdom-to-be they sere going to
give their lives. I thought of the
storm of Russian shell und shrapnel
that would beat over Przemysl as
soon as our batteries hid been
brought ii: fioin the outskirts :.nd this
uiet mass seemed to me like the
moment of calm before a tornado.
When the mast was ended the cr.i-pcror-to-hc
climbed into his auto and
was whiiled out of the rings of forts
a hundred miles away to the safe
shelter of the Carpathians at Ncu
Sandee. The streets of Przemysl
rere filled with matching soldiers.
They had leen brought in from the
rifle trenches aor.ic i.iiles outside of
the city ?nd were to be rushed awry
from Przemysl to toinc other part of
the line; at Iest. were not to die in
Przemysl. Tl en, later in the morn
ing, the artillery begnn to come into
the city. This was the beginning of
the end. It meant thct the outer de
fenses of the city had been with
drawn; from the farms and the hills
and the valleys, where I had teen
these batteries holding back the Rus
sian tide, they had been rolled to the
roads and dragged into the city and
now they were being taken to the
railroad yards to be loaded onto cars
that would carry them out of the
reach of the Russians.
The safety of Przemysl could not
last many hours. It wouldn't take
the Russians long to notice that the
Russian field batteries were silent and
it would'nt take them much longer to
send out their Cossack patrol to dis
cover why the Austcian guns were
keeping the peace. Then, after that.
it would be only a matter of a few
hours for the Russians to advance.
That evening when I dined in the
officers' casint there were no officer,
there. . 1 hey were out in tne great
steel forts, ready to begin their re
sistance to the Russian storm.
We left that evening in a Red
Cross train. The Russian guns were
sounding nearer than they had ever
sounded before. The sound of a rifil
battle came to our ears some miles
outside the town: the noise of some
Austrian infantry repiment holding
back the Russian onrush until the last
possible man, gun and horse who
wouldn't be needed in the town could
get rut of it.
Before the sun set the next day
the Russian army had surrounded
Przemysl and my frierds in the great
steel, round-roofed houses v.ere work
ing their guns for their very lives.
But only a few tens of thousands of
Russians hovered around Przemysl.
More of them went on into Galicia
and. within a few days they were a
hundred miles nearer Vienna than
they had ever been before.
Przemysl is sill an Austrian -island
in the Russian flood. It's fortt have
not yet been battered slown. Daily
it sends its wireless message over the
Russian armies, over the Carpathians,
saying "We are stilt holding out."
Hut il is now an island-) hundred
mile from an Austrian shore and
sortie day, if the wireless doesn't come
we'll know that the eel of the Rus
sian thetlt was stronger than the steel
of the Przemytl fortt, or the hearts
of those brave Austrian officers who
stayed in Przemysl to hold it or die.
