SEES GAINS FOR
G. O. p. IN SENATE

chairman OF the senatorial campaign
committee, in a statement made here
today predicts republican gains in the
next senate, claims the election of a re-
publican senator in Washington and
says there are excellent prospects for
electing a republican senator in Ore
gon in November.
His statement, in part a reply to
some of the wild cat democratic talk
that has been running rampant re-
Gently follows:
81 have made a careful examination
of conditions in all the states where
the senatorial election is at all uncer-
tain," says the senator, "and upon this
l feel satisfied that the republicans will
retain all of the seats they now hold
and will gain several seats now held
by democrats. l understand that it has
been said by some democratic leaders
that Washington will elect a democrat
ic senator, and that Washington and
the Pacific coast and Rocky mountain
states are for the league of nations.
This opinions evidently somes from
those who do not live in that section
and are not familiar with conditions.
Washington Republican
"No one in the state of Washington
who is well informed has any doubt
that it will go republican, both for
the presidential and the senatorial
tickets. We will gain in Idaho and
in Colorado and have an excellent
prospect of gaining seats in Arizona,
California and also in Oregon and
Nevada. We expect, also, to gain
a seat in Kentucky and there are sew
eral other states not necessary to
mention where we have very good
chances. In Kentucky the strong
probability is that the republican
candidate for the senate will be
elected.
"The people realize that the cleo
ton of a senator in any one state
may determine possibly the control
of the senate and they are so indig-
nant over the present administration
whose policies Governor Cox has
pledged himself to follow, that there
will be no doubt about the return of a
republican senate.
"The fact that the democratic can-
didate for president in his speech of
acceptance spoke of the enormous
amount of money expended by
the democratic administration has
particularly attracted the attention
of he west. They remember that dur
ing the war, when questions were ask
ed in congress as to the failure of the
war administration to produce wal
supplies, such as ordnance, the ans
Wer always vas the boast that the wal
department had expended enormous
sums of money.
Paid Too Much Money
Governor Cox says, in his speech
of acceptance, that America paid one
third of the entire cost of the Euro
pean a In view of the fact that
Americas part in the war was OF
short duration and did not compare ir
magnitude with that of the Other
nations engaged from the beginning
this is regarded as proof of the co.
lossal disregard of the interests Of
the country in the expenditure Of
those vast funds.
Recent European events have
shown the absurdity and danger of thu
proposed centralized world govern.
ment, u people notice that the so.
called mandate for Syria is not self
determined as asserted, but it, ant
necessarily must be, as in every such
case, maintained by force of arms
They observe that, although England
and France are both members of the
league of nations, this instrument
has not brought about that harmony
of action between them and POLAND
which was expected. The people are
against guaranteeing by the United
States of the territorial possession:
of European military powers, and are
against entering into an obligation
to use the resources of this country
for any such purpose.
GAS this aas been definitely ant
clearly made the issue, both by tn
presidential and senatorial candi
dates, the result will undoubtedly b,
the election of the republican ticket
