L. J. SIMPSON
Will Win the
Republican Nomination
for GOVERNOR
Straws show which way the wind blows.
Comment of the country press, news ar
ticles and editorials, say that L. J. Simpson
has jumped into first rank in the race for
the Republican nomination for Governor.
, The people will nominate and elect him
because they demand, an active, energetic
man in the Governor's chair, who stands
for a sturdy Americanism, for a vigorous
patriotic policy of keeping Oregon in the
first rank of war activities, for an active
war-winning policy of developing Oregon.
DEVELOPMENT IS PART OF THE
WAR WINNING.
Labor will vote for him because he stands"
for fair treatment, because he has in his 19
years of active management of big business
enterprises never had a strike or a personal
injury suit, never foreclosed a mortgage or
sued on a promisory note.
Business men and women will vote for
him because they are determined to have a
constructive, business-like administration
of the state's affairs, because they know Mr.
Simpson stands for a greater, bigger, better
Oregon, and has the ability and the will to
accomplish something.
Farmers will vote for him because they
favor his policy of fostering agriculture, en
couraging new settlers, of developing the
state's latent resources.
Hundreds are writing letters saying they
approve of his clean, energetic campaign
and endorse his policy of making no secret
political deals or promises of political pa
tronage. The people of Oregon realize the need of
a trained business executive. They are de
termined to have such a man at the head of
the state's affairs. On May 17 the Republi
can men and women of Oregon will take
the first step by nominating
L. J. SIMPSON
for GOVERNOR
