STATE POLITICS IS
WARMING UP FAST

Portland, April 1O.-When r. n.
Stanfield announced himself can
didate for United States Senator, the
West -McNary machine thought he
would be so easily defeated they
could rest easily and let some good
intentioned democrat take the party
nomination. Today they are so bad
ly beaten and frightened that EX-Gov-
ernor West himself is seriously con-
sidering becoming a candidate on the
democratic ticket, defeating Stanfield
at the November election and thereby
maintaining the ascendency of the old
regime. Stanfield has upset all their
calculations, made such a strong cam
paign that today he is acknowledged
to be way ahead of his opponents. 1t
is admitted that he will carry Multi
nomah county and the betting Is even
that he will cary Marion county. With
this showing it will be impossible to
beat him and the only hope the dem
ocrats now have is to beat him in the

November election. This they believe
they can do with the ex-governor. A
few days more will tell the tale Of
whether or not West is going to ad-
nit McNary's defeat and enter the
fight himself or, whether he will fore
go the opportunity and try to bolster
up McNary's campaign in the hopes
of putting the Salem man over. Nc
Nary's record in Washington has been
one of promises and publicity only.
This is not gaining him any support

who does things; man who gets re-

Expects Long War Due

I I,oNDoN, May 2.-"The war is
likely. to last q long time
yet" said Gen. Sir William r.
Robertson, ex-Chief of General
Staff, speaking here to-day.
"How long it will last no sane
man would dare to estimate.
One of the reasons why the war
was not finished long ago is that
we were unprepared for it when
it began, while the enemy had
been preparing for years. We
are now paying the penalty for
that unpreparedness. which in
the past has caused countries to

the mole and dropping bombs. they
missed the Kaiser by only few Yards.
1t Is known that the Kaiser was on the

A high naval authority informs the
correspondent OF THE Sun the airmen
report that the canal fairway is still
blocked. The Germans are working
hard to clear away the sunken ship In
the channel. but they are compelled to
work under great disadvantages and
in very awkward position. Only
small charges OF dynamite can be used

damaging the banks.
