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.
