POW FT (DTP ASITLAYI) TTDn?G9 Thursday, May 8, 191 What's the Matter With Oregon? V . i .in iiai.ai I.IWl.ll.l.lHmi..lU"fWWPHpiPB 7 .'- - f ' i f . V i i f A. - 1 '-.. k . . Win 1,4 Finished Course In Civil Relief Work R. N. Stanfield Jlcpiililinui for United S'uUw Senator "I have a very strong conviction that Oregon Iihh heon diHcrlmlnated against by tlio national government in many ways. Mr. Stanfield shares this feeling and promises, if elected, to correct it as far as it lies in bin power to do so. Senator McNary cienies that any such discrimination exists. He was quoted In a dispatch from Washington to the Oregon Jour nal as saying that he took no stock in the statement that there had been discrimination against .Oregon. Of course, if he believes there has been no such discrimination he will make i.o effort to remove it." S. B. Hus ton, who withdrew from the senator ial contest arid is supporting SUn field. Why do the Telegram and Journal complain that Seattle Is always tak ing payrolls away fjora Portland and then attack Stanfield because he has built up an Industry which benefits Oregon and Portland, creates a pay roll and adds thousands of dollars to the tax list? Why has Portland lost so much to Soattle Is it be cause there are elements in Portland always ready to knock anyone who tries to help the community? Five lawyors comprise the Oregon delegation at Washington; there has not been a buniness man, farmer or toller in the delegation In a genera' tlon. Why has Uie Chamber of Com merce felt it necessary to hire a spe cial representative at a senator's sal ary of 750 a year to look after Oregon's Interests? Stanfield never represented a cor (oration at Balom. Stanfield Is no- man's man. . ' Stanflold will not be dictated to and controlled by a political boss, ty corporations or by newspapor, but he will serve all the people of bis state, playing no favorites and giving a square deal. No one has over said that Bob Stanfield is a douhle-crosser, or that be Is sol fish or not liberal with bis resources or his friendship. There Isn't a lazy bone In bis body. He has been a toller all his life and never beld a cushy job. Raised on the range, he is no silk stocking. Stanfield has built up froii nothing; through constructive labor until today be Is one of the genuine aasots of Oregon. He did not marry bis money nor did he In herit it he worked for It. Republicans know that Stanfield Is 1 00 per ceut republican. He Is not a 50-50 demo-re). (Tald adv., Stanfield Senatorial League, 20S Northwestorn Bank building ) Mrs. A. W. Boslough has returned from Portland where she had been taking a special course In civil relief work at Reed college under the aus pice's or the American Red Cross. Mrs. Hoslough passed the examination at the end of her course most creditably and Is qualified to render home serv ice in an efficient manner. Both Dr. and Mrs. Boslough are devoting their personal Interests to war work. The docter several weeks ago surrendered a splendid practice In Ashland and eullntcd his services to the medical reserves. He is now stationed at Fort Riley, Kaus., and expects to go overseas when a call comes. Mrs. Boslough has fitted herself to answer the requirements of the gov ernment in a special department, and her work will be of inestimable bene fit In Ashland. Auto Accident on Highway Tuesday Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Edmondson and Chester Ellis, of Butte Falls, suf fercd some bruises and a bad shake up when their Ford car overturned when they attempted to pass another car on the highway between here and Talent Tuesday afternoon. In passing, the wheels got off the paving, and when the driver attempt ed to turn the car back the wheel caught on the concrete shoulder and the car turned turtle.

Draft Not Likely To Include State If Oregon Is to be required to fur pish draftees In the aggregate of 233,000 registrants called from the nation at large Friday, the matter Is being kept a dark, mysterious se cret at Washington. No allotment for this state has reached Captain J. E. Cullison, head of the selective service, though adjoining states have recoived their calls and ample time has elapsed for one to arrive In Ore gon. Absence ot a specific quota call Is generally taken to mean that the state Is being given accrued credits sufficient to cancel its quota. Capt. Cullison had received advance inti mation that credits would be deduct ed, but his Interpretation ot the mes sage was to the effect that the state would not entirely escape Inductions at this time. In an effort to get au thoritlve explanation of the situation the captain sent a rush message to Washington. No response came back. One new call, has, however, been received. It Is for the Induction of 56 skilled workmen to be Immediate ly Impressed into craftsman service In this country and abroad. It Is based upon the applications filed prior to April 29 by workers of Ore gon wishing to serve their country in capacities for which they are es pecially trained. In reality the de mands consist of 14 separate calls, citing from one to 13 men for induction. Under this emergency occupational induction the state quotas Include such specialized vocations as sail and tentmaker, locomotive inspector, gas plant workor and constructive fore man. Largest drains are to be made upon the ranks of railroad men. Thir teen firemen, 12 brakemen and three boilermakeis. and helper are sum moned. Four timber cruisers and a similar number of rangers are called. The four colored carpenters enrolled In the state aro all askod to report and tlireo cooks will be taken. ' Most of tlio men are assigned to engineering corps branches, whllo a few go into the aviation section. was then the national committeeman from Oregon. If? as such ' national commltteman, Mr. Williams had vot ed in accordance with the expressed wishes of the republicans of Oregon the history of the republicans as well as that the the United Stntoa than it is. Instead of doing as di rected by his constituency he went to Chicago and formed an alliance with men like Penrose and others op posed to Roosevelt. I submit without regard to wheth er a man was a Roosevelt man, a La Follette man or a Taft man, It was the duty of Mr. Williams to follow the wish of his constituency and use his office of national committeeman to carry out the expressed will of the people of Oregon. Instead of doing this he, with other men, op posed to Roosevelt used their Influ ence against Roosevelt. The seats of several hundred delegates were under contest . and upon the decision of these contest depended the ques tion of who would be nominated. As national committee, Mr. Will iams cast bis vote regularly against the Roosevelt delegates and when the contests were all decided, Mr. Williams and his associates had giv en seats to so many anti-Roosevelt men that they were in complete con trol of the convention. Moreover, he opened boasted of the fact that they needed so many votes to beat Roosevelt and they went out and got them. . ' I charge Mr. Williams with' help ing to decide these contests against Roosevelt not upon their merits but solely for the purpose of controlling the convention. It was. the ruthless disregard of the merits of these con tests that caused the split In the re publican party. Mr. Williams, without regard to the merits of the case, voted against the Roosevelt delegates and against the expressed wish of the rOegon people. Furthermore, be openly coun seled and advised the members of, the Oregon delegation to disregard the instructions of Oregon voters to support Roosevelt. The recall of Mr. Williams and his associates running their steam roller rough shod over the opposition was the split in the republican party, and the election of a democratic president and democra tic senate. Mr. Williams has been national committeeman ten years. He Is so out of sympathy with the rank aud file of the republicans of Oregon that they have repeatedly refused to fol low his leadership. Since he has been national com' mitteeman, Chamberlain has twice been elected to the United States sen ate, Oswald West has been elected governor, Harry Lane has been elect ed to the United States senate, and Wilson has carried Oregon once. Wil liams surely has not much In his rec ord to point to ylth pride? Is It not time for a new deal? Is not ten years long enough for one man to mismanage the political affairs of Oregon? Is It not time to put a man at the head of the party who will recognize his duty to obey the ex pressed wish of the voters of his par ty? Such a man Is Bruce Dennis Ke, too, was at the Chicago conven tion, but he used bis Influence In urging Oregon's representatives to perform their duty and to use every honest means to secure the result demanded by the republican voters of Oregon. If he is elected national committeeman, he will not use the power In that office to thwart the expressed wish of Oregon voters. I would also call your attention to the fact that Mr. Williams Is now flooding the state with paid adver tisements In the newspapers and with circular letters sent through the mail. Lie also has workers canvass ing the state, He could not put up such a campaign as he is now making for less than $25,000. What is there about this non-salaried office that makes it so attractive to Mr. Will iams that he is willing to spend $25, 000 to be re-elected?

The result was as follows: Roosevelt 28,905 LaFollette 22,491 Taft 20,517 By this election Oregon clearly ex pressed a preference for Roosevelt. At this same time I was elected a del egate to the ' National Republican Convention at Chicago, which I at tended with other delegates from Oregon. I felt obligated to repre sent the expressed wishes of the vot ers of my party. Ralph E. Williams J Wash Goods oi Every Description Voilea are as popular aV ever for summer dresses.
