In Keeping With the Big
Thought of the Day
The daily presj reflects a aentimeut throughout the nation which clearly
indicates a new condition.
Men are wanted everywnere. ¡Ti e work of this war is beirg carried on
largely by those who never befire have been in public office or in public
work. Men who have been too busy, too engrossed with their own tasks,
are leaving their work to others and giving their time and ability to the
cause which is ours, your’s everybody’s,
It is a time when politics in Cue ordinary sense must nut be considered.
It calls for all the ability lhat can be mustered.
Oregon to be a success ul part in this unit plan for the defense of Dem­
ocracy. must likewise place the thought of tl.e limes before everything.
In another part of this paper appears' the announcement of L. J. Simp­
son as a candidate for the nomination for Governor on the Republican tick­
et. Mr. Simpson «’as urged to becotre a candidate by I is many friends in
every part of the s*ate, because of his business record, his understanding
and knowledge of Oregon’s recourses, industries and needs; because of his
publicspiriteIness, which of recent years has led him to tasks which have
beenjmore important to him than his own affairs.
L. J. Simpson is clearly the man who can give Oregon
the administration necessary, to this plan of National
Efficiency.
His campaign will be directed straight to you as voters, as individuals
who do your own thinking.
We are firmly convinced that you will not allow poltics to influence your
decision and that you will vote for the man who is best fit to help the peo­
ple of Oregon, develop the State’s vast r sources, a d to prepare for, and
participate in, the great reconstruction that i to follow.
We believe that you will weigh issues more closely than ever before, and
that L. J. Simpson will be your choice.
What
Can Do
First—Talk over his candidacy with yiur
friends.
Second —If you believe that L. J. Simp-
sen is worthy of your support write a letter
to this committee.
Suggest how his cause may be advanced.
We, in turn, will tell you how you can help.
