SENATOR MITCHELL

WASHINGTON, June l4-The irlenus OF
senator Mitchell. OF Oregon, here, state that
in view of the wide currency given TO the
scandals OF his early private life, he mas
been advised to resign. The argument Is
that while his change of name will not IN
validate his claims TO seat In the senate
and also that his present anomalous domeS-
tic relations may not be sufficient ground
for expulsion, still It is advisable that the
State of Oregon should not be represented
by a Senator whose influence VIII be para
lived by the misfortune which surrounds
him. It is not believed, however, that
Mitchell will resign, but that he will en-
deavor to. make as plausible a statement as
possible consistent with the charges made
aUainst him.
