In Oregon

Before the shouting over the Pennsylvania primaries had died away, the fate of another Republican Senator was sealed by ballot in Oregon. There Robert N. Stanfield was up for renomination. The nomination race turned into a free-for-all for the Republicans. There were eight candidates, including one Senator, one woman and one Wet (Oregon is prevailingly Dry). The Senator had against him an incident in a cafe in Baker, Ore., last fall (TIME, Sept. 28), when he was arrested for drunkenness and never appeared in court to face the charge.

Frederick Steiwer, a state Senator, ran first with something over 40,000 votes, and Mr. Stanfield came second, more than 10,000 votes behind; the six others trailed.

Senator Stanfield is the third Administration Senator to go by the board, to become a lame duck: first McKinley of Illinois (TIME, April 26), then Pepper of Pennsylvania, then Stanfield.
