Excellent judgment was shown by tho Republican State Central Commit tee when that body elected John Coch ran for its secretary. The import .ance of 'the secretaryship is known to evtry person who has ever nttemptei', t conduct a campaign and in reality the man who holds that office is the man upon whom rests the burden of al" undertakings of the organization In John Cochran the Republican party of Oregon will find a diligent worker, a man who slauds for nothing but fairness to all, a willing helper nnd an individual who has more po litical ncumen than most men who seek office or attempt to lead in party . affairs. His knowledge of the stati and his acquaintance with pcoplo in every county places him in touch im mediately with all affairs. And tlicic is a largo number of Republicans over Oregon who, when the name of John Cochran is mentioned as secretary of the committee, will tit oiu c feel a per sonal interest In all work undertaken by the committee.
