. George H. Williams was on of
the treat men in Oregon politics,
serving as United States senator,
later as attorney general : In
Grant's cabinet and still later,' at
ter Ibis appointment to the federal
supreme court! was rejected, as
mayor of Portland. Returning to
Portland in 1870 to campaign for
reelection to the senate, he made
this observation when he arriv
ed: "I have a heart for any fate
in politics." . :
It was well said, and he needed
such a philosophy duririg his long
political career when he exper
ienced both - victory and defeat
One who .enters . the. political
arena dare not wear his heart on
his sleeve" It he cannot bear the
stings of opposition or the blows
f defeat, he had better stay in
the' bleachers as a spectator. .
, This is by way of introduction
to ' the . comment that I entertain
the same attitude , toward politics
as (i Williams j expressed. I shall
take, the adverse results of Fri
day's balloting in stride, and go
on with the new day's business.
While . one does not relish being
bested in a race, some one must
lose in every ' competition, and
the; Company;; of "also rans" . is
generally large ; ; '
, Perhaps I should feel grateful
to the republican voters, however,
because their decision enable me
to stay on at the occupation I
love, . that of a working news
paperman, and . particularly , to
continue as editor and publisher
of .The Statesman. That is where
my heart is, and I am. happy not
to have to. make any change. .
. I In signing off I do want . to
express my deep gratitude to
friends in Salem and elsewhere
over the state who supported my
campaign loyally, and to commend
to the voters next November my
successful opponent, Senator' Guy
Cordon. I hold, him in high regard
personally and can support him
without reserve. ' .

- It was also learned that the
