UNITED STATES SE ATOR
Number 19 on Ballot
"I bnvc a very strong conviction that Oregon has been discriminated
against by the National Government in many ways. Mr. Stauficld
shares this feeling and promise."), if elected, to corrept it ns far as it lieslti
his power to do so. Senator McNnry denies that any such discrimina
tion exists. lie was quoted in n dispatch from Washington to the Ore
gon Journal as saying that he took no stock in the statement that there
had been discrimination against Oregon. Of course, if he believes that
there has been no such discrimination he will make no effort to remove
it. S. H. Huston who withdrew from the Senatorial contest and is sup
porting Stauficld.
Why do the Telegram and Journal complain that Seattle is always
Inking pay rolls away Irom Portland, then attack Stauficld because he
has built up an industry which benefits Oregon and Portland, creates n
pay roll and adds thousands of dollars to the tax list? Why has Port
land lost so much to Seattle is it because there arc elements in Portland,
ulwnys ready to knock anyone who tries to help the community?
Five lawyers comprise tlc Oregon delegation at Washington, there
has not been n business man, farmer, or toiler in the delegation in n gen
eration.
-f
Why has the Chamber of Commerce felt it necessary to hire a
special representative at a Senator's salary of $7500' a year to look after
Oregon's interests?
M-r-
Stanfield will not he dictated to aud controlled by n political boss,
by corporations or by newspapers, but he will serve the people of his
state playing no favorites and giving a square deal.
No otie has ever said that Hob Stanfleld is n double crosser, or that
he is selfish or not liberal with his resources or his friendship. There
sn't a lazy bone in his body, lie has been a toller all his life mid never
teld a cushy job.
Raised on a range, he is.no silk-stocking, Stanfleld has built up
from tiothiug through constructive labor until, today he is one of the
genuine assets of Oregon. lie did not marry his money, nor did he in
herit it he woiked for it.
Republicans know that Stanfleld is 100 per cent Republican,
is not a 50-50 DetuoRcp.

Charles A. Johns of Portland, Re
publican, the only candidate for Su
preme Judge from Multnomah Couuty
to succeed the only member of the Su
preme Court for Multnomah County.
The state is divided into three con
gressional districts and there are seven
judges of the Supreme Court four of
whom are now from Congressman Haw
ley's district, and both of my oponeuts
are from his district and if either of
them is nominated there will not be any
member of the Supreme Court from
Multnomah County or McArthur's
District, and there will be five from
Hawley's District and two from Sin
not's. Multnomah County should be
fairly entitled to one member of the
Supreme Court out of Seven. Mr.Johns
is an enrolled pioneer and has been a
resident of the State for fifty-nine
years. Was admitted totbe bar in
1881 and has practiced law for thirty
seven years.
