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

of a. cooling system to radiate the
heat from 4f0 horse power has at
last been satisl'actoiiiv overcome.

ating; under a pressure that circu
lates the water at the rule of lull gal

with Liberty motors may maintain
high speeds even ut extreme altitude

j l no ruination pnuicm on airplane
engines always is a delicate and dif
ficult one,' an engineering officer in
charge of airplane work explains. 'On
a stiff climb, where u plane is at
tempting to rise in a direct flight to

of Hie engines will boil. The higher
the piano rises, the less the utinos
pl.cric pressure and the lower the

however, which' tends to make the
v.nter boil more easily is somewhat
offset by the greater cooling of the
engine by the lower temperatures ut
Hie high altitudes.
"In most planes, nvinlors do not
attempt to rise more than 'J, Oil or H,-01-0

water boils. After Hie first 2,(11111 feet

Did you know that the kaiser has

Did you know why he slims his
