A Fighting Democrat

The return of ex-Senator George Chamberlain, Oregon Democrat, to fighting politics is the ardent hope of fighting Democrats. He plans to resign from the United States Shipping Board in June, and will probably seek election to the Senate next year.

When Mr. Chamberlain was a member of the Senate Committee on Military Affairs he was a staunch advocate of preparedness and came out strongly against his fellow-Democrat Newton D. Baker. He is probably the most conspicuously able statesman whom Oregon has yet given to the nation, and there are those who feel that he has merit as a Democratic presidential possibility.
