Three Western
Senators Stand
High on List

Washington, Nov. 1.-Senators
are to be elected in each of the Pa
cific coast states this year. and the
election or defeat of the three sit
ting senators who are candidates
for election, Chamberlain of Ore.
gon, Jones of Washington and Phe-
Ian of California, has important
bearing upon the influence these
states will have in the next sem
ate.
Senator Chamberlain is the most
conspicuous member of the group,
and the most influential because of
the committee assignments he has
held and the unusual service rem
dered the country during the war
ais chairman of the committee on
military affairs. Senator Jones en-
tered the senate at the same time.
and stands second in the influent-
ial posts he occupies, having now
attained to the chairmanship OF the
committee on commerce.
Senator Phelan did not come 20
the. senate until six years eiter
Chamberlain and Jones, and mas
not advanced SO far on the commit
tees. His particular interests also
led him to seek committees some
what different from the northwest
senators, although. important 10
the vest. The Pacific coast would
lost most if it lost chamberlain,
and the next serious loss would be
Jones. ~
That is the view official Wash
ington takes, irrespective OF party''
and quite apart from partisan con-
siderations. The longer senator
is here the further he advances on
the committee. If he is up to- SEN
ator;al standards and possesses tact
and personality along with aoliity'
the greater the circle of his 1ntlu'
ence. 1t is largely because ne mas
this personality and tact and apillty
and the quality of getting on
with his colleagues, that Chamber
lain outrun other senators who
have served an equal or greater
number of years.
