Senator John II. Mitchell. of Oregon,
convicted and under sentence for
completely in land frauds. The Ques-
ti0n of the Craftsmanship of that I'm
pOrtant committee last year developed
strong opposition to Senator Mitchell
Senators said that he was not the
right man for the place. but follow
ing Il long line of senatorial precedentS,
he was given the coveted honor. He
has, however, never been able to enjoy
ii. Ii is now n question whether the
Senate win think it has sufficient
prOy0catiOn 10 summarily deprive him
of the place. while his case Is on ap-
peal and name another chairman.
Senator Mitchell was originally a
Nicaragua route man, but he, with
others, came over TO the Panama plan
until only Senator Morgan was left. a
venerable and solitary figure, fighting
earnestly against the project and pre-.
dieting, time and again, that the route
was impracticable. Some of the
younger Senators who were wont to
shake their heads and remark that the
"old man was getting daffy." during
some of his wonderful and reverend.
ing speeches, are not so sure now.
Probably Senator Morgan win have
some ten or twelve more long
speeches, requiring from a day to three
or four days each, to deliver when he
returns here IN December. II II pre-
dicted that he will be certain TO be re-
plete with information about the
lsthmian situation which no other
mortal has been able TO collect.
