MONDAY, MAY f, 101ft WINNING OF WAR IS ONLY ISSUE BEFORE PEOPLE National Capital Interested In Out come of Oregon's Primary Neces sary That a Senator Be Selected . Who Will Uphold President In War Measures Control Narrow. 'By JOHX LATH HOP. (Special correspondence from Wash ington.) WASHINGTON, May 6. As In no recont year, Washington has keenest interest in Oregon's senatorial elec tion as, indeed, it has in a pending senatorial contest In any state. The war has magnified an hundredfold the vitality of the choice of even one member of the upper house one vote might mean at any moment the de cision on a crucial issue or war poll cy, a vote in the senate or in a com mittee meeting. Several instances of this have lately been noted. The democratls majority is now only four, and changes have been rapid since Hary Lane passed away in a San Francisco hosiptal. These have died: Seven Senators In a Year. Lane. May 23, 1917; Hustings of Wisconsin, Oct. 21, 1917; Newlands of Nevada, Dec. 24, 1917; Drady of Idaho, Jan 31, 1918; Hughes of New Jersey, Jan 30, 1918; Broussard of Louisiana April 12, 1918, and Stone of Missouri, April 1-t, 1918. 1 believe that the prevailing senti ment here and thru the country is that there is only one question in volved in current senatorial contests will the newcomer bulwark thoso who are fighting tills war? Will he stand firmly for putting the entire force of the government, the people, back of the president and his cabi net? Will he help win this wer? Other Issues? There "ain't no soch animal, Mirandy." For tills na tion has only one Job just now the vindication of the democracy for which we stand and which we have to great degree attnined. Scrutiny of Aspirant. Hence, every man who announces his aspirations for the senate of the United States at this critical juncture is scrutinized with a care that Is al most cruel in Its penetration. This is of course proper. It Is not In the elightest the Interference with tbo In dependence that shold attach to a commonwealth's selection of its rep resentatives In either fronch of the congress. Ordinarily, multitudinous consider ations arise, and Washington Is a drag rather than a help to a candidate. But if a company of men were fight ing forest fire, and one or, more re fused to make common causo, and they wero faco to face with life and (loath for all--thoro would bo little mollycoddling the one who stopped to arguo over his personal leeway as a , citizen. The pressure Is becoming Intense. (No ono who Is not the best possible material available in the state will find -welcome here, or get much co operation. Why should he? .Ill Vmttt Pert Incut. No salient fact Is negligible, cither. Tho aspirant. his personality? His forco professionally? His ability to work for let none guess that sen atorlng In these grim times Is a "snap." It means long hours, grill ing demands, maintained pressure In all waking hours with sleep reduced to the Irreducible minimum. It Is somewhat delicate to mention It, but to no small degree, tho wife of a senator is a factor. Why should she not be? Tho women nowadays rightly are taking their places In the country's political, economic and bo clal activities. What they do and arc and. can do are Important. For it Is known of history that often the wife at home has been decisive of success or failure by the husband; and with the women In coequal authority with men or fast attaining It this be comes Increasingly a vital considera tion. Why not? Oregon's Opportunity. First The country' vital needs, and the world's. Second The stato's opportunity to reach a powerful position In national councils. The first must be first; the second may be, and will be, If the first be assured. For at this moment the commonwealth that serves gets the praise. Chamberlain of course holds the most powerful position In the senate chairman of the military affairs committee. It Is much more potent that navy affairs, or any other as- slgnments to committees. It trans cends finance committee membership, for tho measures that dlrectlly affect the war are passed thru the military affairs committees' hands. It was 1 - btH,I awl VvJrtty i mat ffe.

They inquire about the aspirants; they manifest anxiety for the out come; they wonder, will a man come who will help? They send the call to commission a man In tho legislative army who will uphold the lovern- mcnt's hands. For thit, war business is manfully. colossally, dimenslonally, hiimunly, economically and spiritually tremen dous. It is going to draw out our na tional powers to the furthest limit. The Issues are so vital; tho enemy so well organized, so ruthless, so Intent on winning. It Is a business of help ing dofeat that enemy the senatorial aspirant accepts.

FRENCH NAMED IRISHVICEROYBY LLOYD GEORGE Celebrated Field Marshal to Succeed Wimborne Construed as Threat to Put Conscription. Into Effect All Portions of Ireland Unite to Op pose Draft Law. LONDON, May (1. Appointment of Kield Marshal Viscount French n viceroy of Ireland, announced yester day, was somewhat of n surprise. The government had experienced consid erable difficulty in finding a succes sor to Karon Wimboiirne, ami this was the reason for the delay in an nouncing officially the appointment of K.dwnrd Shorlt ns chief secretary, which was known unofficially many days ngo. No one, however, antieiiialed such u purely military appointment us Hie celebrated field marshal. . Viscount Krencli is of Irish ex traction; He has a seat in Ireland, if- colonel of Irish regiments anil a popular l'i;;ure in the country, but that is hardly likely to reconcile the Irish iH-ople to uj appointment, for they will see in it nothing hut a threul to put conscription into effect."

Mr. Dillon said (bill if tho Irish 'icpt united and determined for an other two weeks I hey would defeat oiiscription. It was an atrocious form of oppression lo try to compel i people to fight for a country not ;l:eir own, he said, lie personally op nosed conscription, 'whether in Clreat I'.ritaiu or in Ireland, or believed it vus a great blunder to depart from Knglaiid's settled pclicy against com pulsory service, espeeiiilly when it was not to defend the soil of Great I Trunin, but lo send huge iiruiies to Hie continent. lie enrnestly appealed for a spirit of frank mid friendly co-opcralioii throughout Inland. Without this, unity was impossible. Home Itllte Kirst. A powerful section of the house of commons mid organized labor in Kng In ml had declared against conscrip tion in Ireland, Mr. Dillon added, un less and until an Irish. parliament and an Irish government were established. These things combined with united opposition in Ireland nnd tbe action of the county bishops had given Ihe goveriiiiient pause, bat it would be a disastrous mistake to shew that dan ger had passed, he concluded.
