To tHe Voters of Oregon: Dr. Withycombe has been a resident of Oregon for 43 years and has been closely identified with the agricultural development of the state during most of that period. It is a conceded fact that he has done more for the farmer, fruitgrower, stockraiser, than any other 'man who has ever lived in Oregon. His long connection with the Agricultural College at Corvallis has been of untold value in developing the agricultural resources of the state. Dr. Yithycombe is a staunch and loyal Republican. He cast his first ballot for President Hayes in 1876 and has steadily upheld the Republican principles and policies from that day to this. If nominated and elected Governor, Dr. Withycombe will devote all his energies to the building of a greater Oregon and to the promotion of those policies that will make for the universal happiness and prosperity of all the people of the state. What the Press Thinks of Dr. Withycombe Dr. Withycombe ia a, splendid man and a splendid citizen if that Is any asset tn I politics. If tho Republican party wants a worthy and honorable man aa their nomi nee for Governor it need loolt no farther than Dr. Withycombe. He Is one of the few men In the state who has made two blades of crass grow where one grew before. Kast Oreronian. rr. Withycombe is the farmer's candidate. ! He will give the state a clean, strong, econo mical and dignified administration. He stands for the enforcement of all laws and for a greater Ore son, morally, socially and industrially, and is therefore worthy of the support and confidence of all the voters in the state. Moro Observer. rr- Withycombe will make Oregon an efficient and a progressive Governor. His policies will be vigorous and constructive. Salem Statesman. Dr. Withycombe Is able in every sense of the word. A man of strong, decisive character, aggressive, but with reasonable conservatism, and no cleaner man morally aver offered himself for public office. Those who support Dr. Withycombe for Governor will be doing Oregon a splendid service and at the same time reflect Infinite credit upon themselves. The Daily Gazette-Times. In our opinion there is not another man In Oregon who is as well equipped to look after the agricultural interests of the state as is Dr. Withycombe. He is a man who stands for better things all along the line. If we are to have a Republican Governor, let H be Dr. Withycombe. Tillamook Herald. Dr. Withycombe would make a most com petent chief executive of the state. The Pacific Homestead.

He looks like a Governor and would mse au execu tive of which this state would be forever proud. He Is able, clean, a truly splendid citizen from every viewpoint and would make Oregon a Governor of whom Benton County and the state would never bo ashamed. The Dally Oaaette-T lines. We know no man in the entire state better fitted to uphold the dlgnitv of the chief executive's office than Dr. Withycombe. He i a true gentleman, a scholar, and as a statesman would handle the affairs of the Governor's office in the same practical man ner that has won him universal praise for his work as exponent of better methods of agriculture in the State of Oregon lone Bulletin. The Republican feels that no man thus far mentioned for Governor will meet with more general favor In Eastern Oregon than Dr. James Withycombe. If he is elected ho will bring a dignity, a well-balanced busi ness experience that will make his almlnis tration a credit to this great state. Unioo Republican. If the Republicans are looking for a strong candidate they could not make a better choice than to select the man from Cor vallls. The Oregon Scout. Among all the aspirants for Gubernatorial honors this year, there is none more fit or more worthy than Dr. Withycombe. Tho Republican party could nominate no stronger can d mate, nor the people elect a better man to the place, Koral Spirit. No better equipped man for Governor can be found in all the state than Dr. James Withycombe. His career Is an open book to the people of Oregon and few men In the state have accomplished as much in the last score of years as the man from Corvallls. Lrotnon criterion.
