statement by Thomas A Hayes, inde-
pendent candidate for United States
senator.
Hayes is the candidate of what ia
known as the President Wilson wing
of the Democratic party, and this is his
second attack on the senator.
It is in reply to an editorial yester-
day in the Democratic organ of the
city, praising the senator's record. and
saying he is the only candidate for
United States senator from Oregon"
The statement, in part, follows:
Senator Chamberlain Is the only
candidate who is too cowardly to
issues Of the day, except compulsory
take a stand on any of the leading
military training. which his Wall
street backing, insists that he
stand for. He and Senator Wads-
worth were afraid TO push thet
compulsory military training bill
through the last congress, but 1t
will be up again in December il
they are reelected.
Chamberlain is the only candi-
date who has been in the senate
twelve years and has not single
piece of legislation to. his credit
that has been of particular benefit
to Oregon or the nation.
Chamberlain is the only candi-
date running. who on August &C.
1918, voted against the amendment
of Senator Borah to increase the
income tax on large incomes
He is the only candidate running
who on August 27. and again on
August 2S, 1918, voted against the
Briston amendment to increase tax
on large incomes.
Chamberlain Is the only candi-
date running who on February 27.
1914, voted to hamstring the parcel
post by preventing an increase in
the weight limit His vote on that
occasion was vote for the express
monopoly.
Chamberlain Is the only candi-
date running who on June is, 1914,
voted to restore the old graft of
20 cents a mile for congressman
and senator's, instead of the actual
expense Senator Lane, of Oregon.
voted against Chamberlain and for
the actual expense.
Chamberlain is the only candi-
date running who, on July I, 1914,
voted to reduce the appropriation
for carrying on the work of the
commission of industrial relations.
A vote to reduce the appropriation
was vote to prevent a proper in

date running that President Wilson
in genteel terms called liar. and
that subsequent events showed the
president told the truth

great issues of the day I chal-
