Independence, Oregon, Friday, March 29, 1918 W. V FULLER FOR REPRESENTATIVE. It is the policy of the Monitor to recommend that when a man has made good in office to rt'turn him, most especially in a legislative position. Mr. Fuller has become acquainted with state affairs by reason of his service as representative and if he is returned will start with an acquaintance and ex perience that will be of benefit to Polk county. Then again, Mr. Fuller is public spirited, is an enthusiastic and energetic worker in war work. He is chairman of the county defense council ant isg;ving unstintiiiRly, energetically, whole heart- edly and honestly his best efforts and time to the work this county has to do in helping to win the war. Such men as Mr. Fuller are the class of men needed for office and are such as you as - . W citizens want in the legislature. He is a busy man and it takes the busy man to accomplish things. The Monitor believes he should have no o opposition and discourages any one having the political bee" buzzing in his bonnet coming out for this position. MOSER VS OLCOTT. Under the forn er management the Monitor was an advocate for Mi. lien Olcott lor governor ol Oregon on the Republican ticket. Under the new management the Monitor is favorable to Hon. Gus C. Moserof Portland. Our readers may wish to know why we have selected Gus Moser as a candidate. Well, there is a reason. The contest to our mind has narrow ed down to Gov. Withycombe, Gus C. Moser and Ben W. Oleott. We are not favorable o Withy- AAJX TIRES These Tires are Warranted for 5000 Miles Against BLOWOUTS, BLISTERING and RIM CUTTING except In Case of Accident, Mlsnse or Abuse.

Oregon getting the best man to go to the polls as a candi date for the party. In our study of the situation we can eliminate all the various candidates as probable of success but two, namely, Moser and Oleott. We believe Moser will carry Eastern Oregon and Portland. We know he will not be dictated to by any of the trusts; we know that when he takes a position in any public question he will StlCk tO it: 'We hfllPVP hf vU trt-,r ViJc nrnm. u w 10 t Hwirr y c HEWETT ises and to the people, and we think he is a bigi mi office phonea 9311 fnnnnrli tviiM In 'it. 1-.il- 11 J 7621 Residence Phones 3G22 e" .. w j i-ai iaii iy vvmi uuui iauui auu capital, and will see that for every dollar expend ed by the state we shall get a dollars worth of results. As the contest narrows down to Withycombe on one side and between Moser and Oleott on the other we seek to find who should be eliminated to defeat Gov. Withycombe and we choose Olco t for this reason. Oleott now has the second highest office in the state that it is possible for the people to give him. He is an efficient officer as Secretary of State. He came before the people two years ago and asked for their votes for that position upon (his merits and was given that important trust on their belief in those merits and the people have no fault to find, but why should he use that oflic. as a step ping stone to other political aspirations? He has two years yet to serve. If he iu 11 initiated and elected he jii8t changes oflice rooms and leaves to Gov. Withycombe t!ie appoiutmetit of his successor. Th re is no position in Oregon more important than that of Secretary of .State. It carries $1500 a year salary, only $500 short of tho emol uments of (Jovernor. His duties .make him auditor and I chief clerical oflicer of the state', 'lie is a member of the Hoard of Control which has supervision of all the state in stitutions, is also a member of the Desert Land Board and State Land Board and rnanyother boards and commissions lie is ex-ofhcio member of the board of regents of tie fetate University, Agricultural College and Normal School custodian of the seal of the state, compiles the election laws, road laws, the blue book and session laws. He even manages the fiscal allairs of the state. Keeps a racord of all appropriations, funds, revenues, expenditures, disburse' in en is and investments. He diitcts and superintends the collection of all money due the stafe and keepg a semi-an nual check on the State Treasurer. In the olhceof tiecretaiy of State Oloott are about twenty- two men and it is Mr. Oleott' duty to supervise and over see all of the vast duties that keep this iminen e forcw of men busy. Con -equently we feel that the people of Ore gon owe it 10 themselves to see that Secretary Oleott ba not taken from his present portion in which he is admit tedly efficient and put into a new office, leaving the ollice of secretary of State to the appointment of Governor. Mr Oleott would probably make a good Governor, but the Mon itor believes he is a better Secretary of State and we do not want to ree the right of the people to vote and elect a Secretary of State be frittered away for political prestige. Our wish is that he be kept where he is and leave Gus C. Moser the t'w Id against With com! e. Moser was second four years ago when everyone prop hesied him fourth anil fifth place, and with a bit? vote from Eastern Oregou going to Moser, abetter than even break in Portland, it is up to the Willamette valley to unite on Mosur if they wish to win against Withycombe.
