J ... Candidate Olcott States Platform I shall be a candidate for the re publican ( nomination for governor at the primary election to le held Friday, May 17. If I am elected governor, I shall resign the office of secretary of state and thus permit the present gover nor to appoint my successor. This is a time when patriotism calls for the greatest eeommiy and efficiency in the conduct of state affairs. There is urgent need for the application of business princi ples to state business, from the highest office to the lowest, so those who pay the taxes may get full val ue for the sums they are contribu ting to maintain the state government.- To accomplish this will be the ex emplication of practical patriotism and will meet in state government that which is being urged so strong ly upon each citizen of the nation, namely, conservation of all our re sources so our full strength may be used in carrying to a successful con clusion the war in which we are now engaged. No deed should be left undone that will aid in winning the war. No sacrifice is too great for those who remain at home. In every policical campaign the cry for economy and efficiency has been raised, and I believe the mood of the citizens of this state is now such that they are going to see that waste and extravagance are ellimi nated. They are going to insist on business principles being applied to the public business, from the top down. It is in this connection I feel I Board of Control. The people of Oregon have em phatically voiced their sentiments in favor of prohibition, and if I am elected governor I shall consider it my duty to use the power of that office to see that the laws are en forced. And if, while I am govern or, the "dry" amendment to the fed eral constitution, providing for na tional prohibition, is submitted to the states for ratification I shall give it my endorsement and urge its speedy approval by the Oregon leg islature. Likewise, should the Na tional womans' suffrage amendment pass Congress, as it now appears it will, I shall give it similar endorse- ment. As the proper performance of my duties as secretary of state requires my undivided personal attention, I shall spend no time campaigning over the state. The people of the state are paying me a salary to look after their business, and I cannot properly do this when away from the office. Ren W. Olcott.

As se& retary of state I htve made busi ness efficiency my first considera tion and have achieved results which I gladly submit to the voters as the . vt , ... .... , each time. Neal oasis ior my aspiration to serve tne state in a larger field. There is no reason why every de partment jof the state government should not be conducted on absolut ely efficient lines, and if I am elect ed governor I shall make it my busi ness to inject business economy and business efficiency into the many de partments and commissions which come under the direction of the chief executive. I will hold my ap pointees to as high a degree of effi ciency in the public service as is ex acted from men in the employ of the best managed private business es. When I make an appointment that person's whole time must be devot ed to the duties of his office. I shall be controlled by no one and will be guided solely by business principles and common sense. The state is similar to a large business corporation. It is the peo ple's corporation. A private corpo ration, unless backed by unlimited resources like the 6tate, would not long survive if it did not have at its head a man who fully devoted his time and capabilities in applying business judgment and business economy to its affairs. Neither can the state's business run of it self and keep within the bounds of economy and on a plane of efficien cy. As governor I would expect to be the business head of the great corporation of the people and would apply my energies to make a suc cess of the business. Eecause all state business flows through the office of- secretary of state no office affords such intimate knowledge of state affairs as does it. Thisjoffice I have held for the last seven years. The knowledge and experience thus gained will be of immense value to a chief execu tive. Added to this is my familiar ity with state institutions and activ ities gained as a member of the an interesting game and both teams did their part heroically.

The Delphian Society held its meeting on Friday evening, January 25. The chief interest of the even ing was the election of officers for the coming term. The following officers were elected: President, Ruth Worden; Vice-president, Olga Wickberg; Secretary, Margaret Peattie; Treasurer, Blanche Mor'ey; Sergeant-at-arms, Marion White, and Reporter, Elsie Krieg. The program of the evening was excellent. At the joint meeting, the Delphians contributed two num bers, a piano solo by Lenore Kirk Patrick and a humorous reading by Muriel Paul. "The Moon Queen Cantata", directed by Thelma Sel ling and Blanche Morey was the first number on the regular pro gram. This showed careful direct ing, and was very effective in its presentation. A "Dance of the seasons", directed by Myrol Bond followed the cantata. Each season was represented by three graceful girls embodying the spirit of the season Spring, with its youth and half blown buds, Summer, with its full blown flowers, Autumn, bright colored yet less gay, and White-clad Winter casting its snowy brilliancy over all until every season slept. report given by Gladys Champion.
