Mr. Stanfield shares this feeling and promises, if elected, to correct it 'as far as it lies in his power to do so. Senator Mc Nary denies that any such discrimination exists. He wasquoted in a dispatch from Washington to the Oregon Journal as saying that he took no stock in the statement that there had been discrimination against Oregonl "Of course, if he believes there has been no such discrimination he will make no effort to rempVcit'S.

Yhy do the Telegram and Journal complain ' that Seattle is always taking payrolls away from Portland andihen attack Stanfield because he has built up an industry which benefits Oregon and Portland, creates a payroll and adds thousands of dollarsto the tax list? Why has Portland lost so much to Seattle- b it because there are elements hx Portland always ready to knock anyone who tries to help the community? I Five lawyers comprise the Oregon delegation at Washington; there has not been a business man, farmer or toiler in the delegation in a generation. Why has the Chamber of Commerce felt it necessary to hire a special representative st a senator's salary of $7500 a year to look jifterUre-. gen V interests? ' -. . ; i . . " . ' Stanfield iteer represented a corporation at ' Salem. Stanfield is no man's man. .' 1 Stanfield wfll not be dictated to ad controll ed by a political boss, by corporations or by news ; papers, but he will serve all the people of his state, playing no favorites and giving a square; deal v No one has ever said that Bob Stanfield is a i double-crosser, or that he is selfish or not liberal with his resources or his friendship. There isn't a lazy bone in his body. He has been a toiler all his life and never held a cushy job. - - Raised on the range, he is no silk-stocking. Stanfield has built up from nothing through con structive labor until today he s one of the genuine assets of Oregon. He did not marry his money nor did be inherit it he worked for it " Republicans know that Stanfield is 100 per cent Republican. He is not a 50-50 Demo-Rep.
