Dick Posey's Poem
Appeals to Soldiers
R. P. Campbell. "Dick Psy,M the
well known poet whose Terse have
a habit of touching a responsive
chord in the hearts of all their read
ers, recently wrote a poem entitled
"From Dad." supposed to be a letter
from a father to his son in the
trenches. This poem is particularly
i appealing at the present time, ex
i pressing as it does the sentiments
felt by all fathers who tare boys in
tie army, but who possibly hare cot
'the faculty of putting in words the
sentiment Dick Posey has so beauti
: fully portrayed. This poem baa been
'published in the various newspapers
I throughout the state, and recently
I Mr. Campbell received the following
1 letter from France from men who are
; utter strangers to him, but who ap-
predate the fine sentiments express
ed in the poem:
I "In Active Service with the Ameri
can Expeditionary Force, April C,
"Mr. Dick Posey,
j "Ashland, Oregon,
j "Your poem, 'From Dad.' founl
jits way overe here and was enjoyed

train.

Why Is Oregon's Self
Appointed Boss Afraid
of Stanfield?

Eecause United States Senator
Charles L. McN'ary has made good
Le should be nominated to succeed
himself in the republican primary,
May 17th.
From the day he became senator
he has loyally championed the prose
cution of the war, and during his
term of office has accomplished more
for Oregon than any other member
in congress in a like period.
Among his colleagues he is known
as "the man on the job", and during
the present war crisis Oregon should
consider itself fortunate in having an
opportunity to return him and not be
compelled to send to Washington a
new, untrained man.
Believing that the supreme obli
gation he owes his country is to help
win the war Senator McN'ary, in
stead of ret.urnig to his state to con
duct a political campaign, is at his
post in Washington working for Ore
gon and aiding in the prosecution
of the war.
Always since entering the senate
he has been a friend of our soldiers
and sailors and has introduced legis
lation giving them preferential home
stead rights and repeatedly champion-
led their cause when their welfare was
In Jeopardy.
Championing the cause of Oregon
farmers, Senator McN'ary procured
for them a primary wheat market,
saving thereby several million dol-
northwest. ,,
Realizing the present food control
law fails to fix prices for many com
modities. Senator McN'ary baa intro
duced, and is laboring for the pass
age of a bill, striking at profiteer
ing and fixing prices ou the neces
saries of life. '
Senator McN'ary has procured:
Government contracts for the first
time in tbe state's history for Ore
gon products, such as prunes, dehy
drated potatoes and) vegetables in
large quantities.
Large government contracts for
army clothing and shipbuilding yards.
Favorable action by the senate
committee on Irrigation on a bill pro
viding for the government marketing
of district Irrigation bonds thereby
Believing that the republican voters of the state of Oregon would not
look with favor upon Oswald West naming the senatorial candidate for
tbe republican party.
And, inasmuch as I have received many thousands of letters and oth
er assurances from the republican voters assuring me of their support, I
must respectfully decline the proposal of Mr. West that all other candidates
withdraw and give a clear field to C. L. McN'ary.
I feel that I have the confidence of the republican voters and the peo
I le of this great state and I will seve them honestly and efficiently as a
senator and at this critical time they are inclined to support a man from
tbe business walks of yfe.
Oswald West has heretofore asserted that he only desired to be a candi
date that he nrgbt oppose me if I should be successful In defeating Mc
N'ary In tbe primaries.
liis Interference is intolerable to me, as I believe It is to the republican
voters of the slate, and I will welcome the opportunity to oppose him In
the general election If he should be successful in defeating his democratic
oponeat, Mr. King. R. NT. STANFIELD.
Mr. tanfielj makes the above reply to the proposal of Oswald West
that all candidates for senator withdraw in favor of Mr. West's candi
date. Tbe whole activity of the democratic machine In attempting to stem
the t'de of dissatisfaction against their candidate now In the senate Is laid
tare In this last supreme attempt of Mr. West to bolster up a forlorn
hope.
The question is do the people and the republicans want this sort of boss
inn In Oregon, or do they want 100 per cent Americans and 100 per cent
republicans, such as M-. Stanfield, a successful, energetic, patriotic, self
made man whose every act has added to the progress and growth of Ore
gon a man who gets resuItB, accomplishes something, who has worked
and knows bow to work, and who will work.
S'.anfiId U 100 per cent American and 100 per cent republican, and
he would supimrt the presHent in winning this war.
Which do you want? A man who can stand on his own feet or one who
cannot.

schools; worked his way through
Stanford university; Is a lawyer and
farmer and has been a life-long re
publican. He was formerly a Justica

man of the State Republican Central
committee.
Space forbids further enumeration
of the vast amount of work Senator
McN'ary has done for Oregon, but any
one will realize from the foregoing
the senator has displayed truly re
markable aMlity, coupled with ex
traordinary diligence and energy. His
native state can best show its appre
ciation of his faithful and efficient
services by nominating and electing
him.
