nor the inclination to travel up and
down the state soliciting votes. Gover
nor James V-'ithycombe. Republican
comlnee for re-election, in a statement
to the voters of the state, issued today,
announced definitely that he will not
Irage a personal campaign.
Oovernor Withycombe has always
had the reputation of being one of the
first state officials at his desk in the
morning- and those who frequent the
State House note that the executive
has. since the accumulation of so many
duties relating to the war programme,
been probably busier than ever before.
He still takes a vigorous horseback
ride occasionally but these are started
later In tha afternoon than formerly
and many of them are confined to in

tions about Salem.

In his address to the voters of Oregon
Governor Withycombe. says:
"So matter how active other candi
dates for political offices may be I am
determined now. as I was at the time of
the orimarr election last May. not to
conduct a personal campaign. I shall
sot have the time, the money nor the
Inclination to go up and down the state,
figuratively or personally. In solicita
tion of votes.
'This is no time to seek political
preference purely for selfish gain and
aggrandizement. I feel that all spare
time and all spare resources should be
devoted now toward winning the war.
It would be positively unpatriotic to
spend large sums of money trying to
divert the public mind from wartime
duties to thoughts of politics. Both the
money and the effort should be utilized
in more commendable ways.
Reeord l" To Vtera.
Tor nearly four years I have ben
privileged to serve the people of Oregon
as Governor, endeavoring to give the
state a sound, dignified, businesslike
administration. I believe that I have
kept my pledges. 1 am willing to al
low the record of my four years"
stewardship to stand as my only cam
paign document. The people have that
record before them and upon it they
must base their Judgment for the fu
ture.
"For many months I have been ex
tremely busy on the organization of
war work. This work Is by no means
completed. nor will It be for an Indefl
rite time to come. I would like to com
plete this task. I would like to be
Governor of Oregon when our boys
come home victoriously from war, for
then I would be in a position to en
force the unwritten guarantee that
these returned soldiers and sailors shall
receive their Just rewards and that they
Shall be accorded the proper reception
as they step back Into civilian life.

Clearing- of Wilson & Company Will
Strengthen Faith of Public In In
reffrlty of Officials, Is Belief.
CHICAGO. Oct. It (Special.)
Thomas K. Wilson, president of Wilson
& Co.. made the following statement
last night concerning the Federal
Trade Commission's exoneration of his
company through its decision -October
11:
"Full details of the Federal Trade
Commission's decision have not yet
reached me, but we have never had the
slightest doubt that we would be com
pletely exonerated. The moment the
charges were made I personally asked
the commission for an immediate hear
ing and investigation. This request
was granted and the first hearing was
in New Tork while the concluding
hearing was In Washington. I am glad
to say that the hearings were ably and
rainy conducted by the commission
They certainly investigated every
charge against us in the most search
ing way and left no avenue of possible
evidence unnoticed on our part.
"1 believe I am right in saying that
not only did we present all the evi
dence we had in our own defense but
that we freely offered every available
bit or information to the commission
which would enable it to sift the
charges to the bottom and arrive at
a definite final decision without criti
cising the Federal Trade Commission
which acted within its powers."
"I am more than Justified in saying
that the published reports of the
charges an dthe hearings both in news
papers and In various other periodicals
worked Incalculable harm to Wilson
& Co. This Injury is in the minds of
the public and was occasioned by the
impression given the average Individ
uai by what seemed to be valid state
ments that Wilson & Co. had been
guilty of flagrant disregard of the
rights of the people as well as of the
common decencies of business. It will
take a long time, years in fact, before
this Impression wears out of the public
mind.
"This decision coming at this time
will strengthen the faith of the public
in the ability and integrity of those
officials of the Army and Navy whose
duty it is to purchase food supplies for
our forces as well as. 1 hone, in the
carefulness and exactness with which
Wilson & Co. is and has been carry
ing out its enormous tasks in provld
ing the meats and meat-food products
which the Government requires of It.
The exoneration is gratifying to us
even though It was fully anticipated.
I believe those officials of the commis
sion who directly participated in the
hearings will say that our side of the
case was conducted as rigidly and lm
partially as was theirs."

"Dr. CaldzveWs Svrub Pepsin is certainly a
most, pleasant and efficient solution of the ,
'castor oil problem' that confronts most
mothers." (From a letter ,to Dr. Uildweii
written by Mrs. Chas. Daly, 412 Shoraiard
St, Syracuse, N. Y.) .
For most children a mild laxative, ad
ministered occasionally, is all that is necessary
to assure normal regularity and consequent
good health. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is
a pleasant-tasting combination of simple laxa
tive herbs with pepsin that acts gently, yet ef
fectively; children like it and take it readily.
