    ROBERT N. STANFIELD.
'*S. ' ' (Turner Tribune.)
Robert N. Stanfield is entitled to the support of
the entire Republican electorate. He is a clean, virile,
vigorous and highly successful man. His Republi
canism is beyond doubt or quibble. His life, both
public and private, has been unsmirched with any
thing that carries even a shade or taint of dishonesty,
unfairness or injustice. Though a man who has won
his way to the top in the business and financial world,
he has done so by methods l>eyond reproach.
Bob Stanfield started at the bottom of the ladder.
Be had a dear brain, a pair of strong arms, and a pair
of willing hands as his only assets. Against the vicis
situdes of poverty, against overwhelming odds, he
gradually developed into the success he is today. He
did not lie, nor cheat, nor steal, nor swindle. With
honesty of purpose he made his word better than a
filt'edged bond, and fought the great fight. He was
g
not born with the proverbial golden spoon to be suck
led and nursed through life on a bed of easy down. His
has been a life of hard knocks; the rugged life of the
plains and the mountains; the ever thrilling romance
of the cleancul and wholesome quick thinking Amer
ican man, who found opportunities, seized them and
turned them to account.
He has been no parasite. Rather, he has been a
producer. He has added to the world’s wealth and
consequently to its happiness. His flocks graze on a
hundred hills and they have been acquired by honest
methods and honest endeavor. He is a splendid ex
ample of what true Americanism may accomplish for
a man; of what American institutions may do for a
man who is a willing worker and not a shirker. And
even as he responded to the call to success in private
life he has responded liberally with his wealth, his
vision and his unbounded energies in every call in
which he has had to give the public his services.
Where they know him best, in Eastern Oregon, not
a man blit will tell you that Bob Stanfield is honest in
his dealings, square with his fellows, and a person of
keen knowledge, a wide grasp of affairs and himself
is every inch a man. For a successful man to secure
universal praise in his own country is a compliment
indeed.
This is to be a Republican year. That is written in
the sun, the moon and the stars and may be forecast
ed from the cards that are spread upoil the table.
If a Republican is to be returned to the United
States Senate from Oregon, as every indication points
there will be, we know of no Republican who can serve
the people of his state and his country in Washington
better than Robert N. Stanfield. He has a way with
him that gets things, a personality that brings results
and an integrity and an honesty which will be a guar
antee that whatever is accomplished will be accom
plished honestly and by clean acts.
Rob Stanfield understands the people. He knows
their needs. He has run the gamut of life from the
low notches of poverty to the higher horizon of
wealth. His wealth has left him unchanged. He is
not a snob, and despises snobbery. He has not lost
his appreciation of the trials ancl hardships which he
was compelled to undergo when a younger man.
His life has been a living rebuke to all forms of
Bolshevism, radicalism, and traitorous disloyalty. It
is a living demonstration of what our American ideals
and American principles, coupled with American grit
and determination and perspiration can do for any
youth who cares to make the struggle. #
Vet, if he is elected, labor will have no truer friend
lhan lie, and these good old United States will have no
truer friend nor firmer patriot.
The business pilot is needed at the helm of the
bark in these tempestuous times.
Rob Stanfield in the Senate will be what Rob
Stanfield has been in private life—an unqualified suc
cess. The voters of the state will confer a blessing
upon themselves and their nation if they put him
there. • >. & s
