Portland, Ore., Oct. 23, 1986.
Editor Ashland Tidings:
As a one-time resident of your
beautiful city, and as one who
was more or less in politics, even
to the extent of going as a dele­
gate on several occasions to the
Republican convention at Jack­
sonville, and being from Ashland,
a minority little burg, and that
being in eld convention days, 1
have a very vivid remembrance of
the old “Steam Roller’* the Med­
ford and Jacksonville bunch to
subject us to. I note - Jackson
county republicans held a pre-
primary Convention last April,
didn't they? And didn’t they try
to read my old friend Hon. Geo.
Dunn out of the party? W ell he
Is still in, Is he not? I noticed a l­
so that when Senator Stanfield
refused to obey the boss-— the
Oregonian — and announced as

Steam Roller and passed indigna­
tion and condolence resolutions

YOUR PARTY
Voters are urged to read Section 4 of the Housewives'
Council Constitutional Amendment authorizing the State of
Oregon to go into irrigation schemes and into the business
of manufacturing and selliyg light and power.
“ Bonds of the State of Oregon, not to exceed five per centum of the
assessed valuation of the state, may be issued and sold from time to
time to carry out the purpose of this Article and the full faith and
credit of the State of Oregon is hereby pledged for the payment of
the principal of said bonds as the same mature, and the interest ac­
cruing thereon as the same falls due."
Every voter should know that the assessed valuation of
Oregon is $1,058,880,736, and that the Housewives’ Council
“Water and Power” board could issue and sell bonds for
$52,944,000. Your property would be a guarantee for the
'V3-
payment of this huge debt.

W ould you »crap Oregon’« direct
primary law? Would you surrender
the important committee chairman­
ship« now held by Senatora McNary,
Smoot, Borah, Johnson. Jones, W a r­
ren and Oddle, all Western men?
rould you repudiate the policies of
resident Coolidge?
The fight for the U. 8. Senator-
ship Is between the democratic nom­
inee and Frederick Steiwer, repub­
lican. No Independent has ever been
elected to the U. S. Senate.
I f you believe in the direct prim ­
ary— If you want the West to retain
ite power in national affairs by rea­
son of republican ¡control of tho
senate— 4f you believe In the policies
of Calvin Coolidge—
The republican party of Oregon Is
fortunate in having Mr. Patterson
as Its Candidate for Governor. Suc­
cessful business man and farmer
he la equipped to meet and solve
the problems that w ill confront him
aa Governor. Economy, he ha« prac­
ticed In .private life; economy he
w ill practice as Oregon’s chief ex­
ecutive.
The only real pre-election promise
Mr. Patterson is making Is that he
w ill not follow established preced­
ent and spend the people's time and
money traveling about the state
making speeches.
I f you want a Governor who will
be on the job attending to busi­
ness—
