The question is, do the people and tho Republicans want this sort of bossism in Oregon, or do they want 100 per cent Ameri cans and 100 per cent Repubh cans such as Mr. Stanfield, a success! ul, energetic, patriotic I self made man, whose every act tins aided to the progress and growth of Oregon, a man who gets results, accomplishes some thing, who has worked and who knows how to work, and who wil work. Stanfield is 100 percent Amer ican and 100 percent Republican and he would support the presi dent in winning this war. Which do you want? A man who can stand on his own feet, or one who cannot?

ADVERTISE All Oregon knows that Mr. Yil Hams was the chief factor in brinsrinff about the reunion of the Republican and Progressive parties in the state in 1916, re sulting in Oresron beins: tiie g - CI only state in the West to east its electoral vote for Hughes. That Mr. Williams' splendid work in harmonizing the various ele ments of the Republican and Progressive parties is also icc ognized nationally, is attested by strong letters of endorsement, written by William R. .V'lcox, retiring chairman of the Repub lican National Committee, Geo. V. Perkins, chairman of the ex ecutive committee of the I ro- lfressive party, and Will II Hays, recently elected chairman if the Republican National Com . mittee. These letters refer not i only to the state and national ', campaign of 1916, but also to the ; recent meeting of the Republi- can National Committee at St. Louis, where Mr. Williams' act ivities materially aided in estab- lishing the spirit of co-operation and harmony which now exists, in the party throughout the t inted States. A descendant of Oregon pio neer stock, his parents ' having crossed the plains to Oregon in 1843, Ralph Williams' American ism has found abundant expres sion since the outbreak or tne war bv participation in all pa triotic war activities. As is generally known, seni ority in service gives prestige and influence on the Republican National Committee in the same measure as on the Congressional committees. At the present time he is ranked as to senority on the National Committee by two members only. This puta Mr. Williams in a position of power and distinction such as no new member of the Committee could hope to attain. , His re-election will insure to the state of Oregon all the added benefits which will naturally accrue from his increased stand ing.
