Stanfield as a can didate for United States senator at the Republi can primaries. The Monitor, following its cus tom of speaking editorially of those whose an nouncements have appeared in this paper, this week will tell you of Mr. Stanfield, and why the Moni or is supporting him for this position. The editor of this paper has known Robert Stanfield for a number of years and has been so acquainted that he knows him as a man among men. and as a successful, honest a d conseienti- r ous business man.' His interests are in part car ried on in the same section of the country from which the editor of this paper came, and in the same county, and he knows the men working for Mr. Stanfield, knows the treatment he gives his men, knows how these men are supporting h;in and believe in him. So the Monitor feels that it can conscientiously speak to the people of this county, who do not know him, and who should be informed respecting the different men who are candidates for the different positions at the com ing primaries. Mr. Stanfield was born in Umatilla county, Oregon, forty years ago and at the age ot nine teen bis father died and his mother was left with a family of eleven children, and it fell to the lot of R. N. Stanfield to, in a great measure, support and care for this large family. He worked hard, farming, plowing and riding the range, and has built up the business in which he is now engaged from the ground lloor, putting in some twenty years of energy and labor, without rest or vaca tion. He earned ever dollar he has, and did not like most men ot wealth and power inherit his wealth. In 1912 Mr. Stanfield was the largest individual sheep owner in the United States, and when the war was declared he oflered his entire clip of wool to the govern men- at the then prevailing prices, and that offer is still open. He was large ly responsible for making Portland the second largest grease wool market in the United States, making the manufacturers come to Oregon for t.l, cu ting out the middlemens profit, improv ing the market, benefitting the whole of this state. He has started many young men in business, aud the editor is acquainted with several w ho have made themselves through the assistance of Stan field. Mr. Stanfield is favorable to laboring men, has always had the united support of laboring men wherever he was engaged in business. He favors TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS AND FRIENDS. A newspaper is a business proposition, and we are going to run the Monitor purely on that bais.

V. R. SNYDER FOR TREASURER. We are for you, Brother Snyder. When the editor wa8 wearing little frocks down in the little old town of La Fay ette Brother Snyder was a newspaper man and a musioian. tie was liked by everybody and he wag a good newspaper man and a bum musician. If he had been a better musi cian we would think he was not much for a public officer, out, oeing a poor muajciau he has made a good official. We have inquired about Mr. Snyder and the dovh all sav lit- has made good and therefore weetate that we ar for mn. A. V, H. Snyder is accomodating, efficient and a good citizen and he keep his books in good shape and oares carefully for the county funds, lis in a Republican and auks for youi support and deserves it. Polk county should not turn him do Wll Mini will nnl In fiff hu live there will be no opposition against Mr. Snyder at the p:ituarie and there is little use for any one to run against him for the election. Some are born rich, some are born poor, some are born white, some yellow and tome black. Some are born pretty, some noble, some good, but most of us were born crying. He brought nothing into the world but a howl and some trouble. We keep it up as long as we live audi suppose wo take a part of the same attributes we had here along with us to that other place across the vale and shadows, but possibly we ar purified by the fires of adversity and i the transit will leave behind some of our cusstduess ana a great deal of our pessimism. 1 hope o, don't you?1 We have not had h call yet from that ad where it said leave orders at the Monitor o trice.

Springtime is the time of the budding dower aud also thd budding idea, but why put it in rhyme. Kvt"-y old hen tnat cackles has not laid an egg, some (times he ha-i ju.-t laid trouble. Any time we make a rhyme, it going to be tin see it. -if you Take the Difference and Buy a Liberty Bond A Ford will do anything the higher priced cars will do and at much less cost. The man who buys a high priced car is just as much a slacker as the man who will not buy a Liberty Bond, or contribute to the Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. funds.. There is no one who can not get along with a Ford until after the war at least. Then if he sees fit can trade in his Ford at a very little de preciation towards a higher priced car, which will itself cost nuch less after the war. You will then have the use of the Ford car during this time, and the Liberty Bond, together with its interest, will more than buy this more elaborate car, and j ou will, in the meantime have helped your Govern ment win the war.
