has never been a moment in this
year of war problems when his atti
tude has been in doubt, and we must
all admit that the patriotic spirit of
Oregon's war governor has had much
to do' with the bright patriotic rec
ord that has been made by the state. :
When the I. W. W. agitation was at
Its highest point and the governors
of other western states were wob-'
bllng and side-stepping. Governor
Withycombe did not hesit.?te n mo-:
ment. He announced that the law
must be 3trictly upheld and that noth-'1
ing must be permitted to interfere
with the conduct ' of the war. - In
every other phase of the state's war
activities his position hr.s been equal-1

has-been of the kind that command
confidence. - '
This is a time when the usual po-
litlcal patter and the usual reason?
for displacing one official and put
ting another one in have little appeal.
' The fact that looms largest is that
under Ggvernor Wlthyeombe's lead
ership Oregon has won the admira
tion of the entire country. That is
the kind of leadership we want.
