Oregon, un der the Act of March 3, 1879. KOBERT N STANFIELD FOR MR. ITTOX In a recent Issue The Eugene Guard published an editorial favor ing I. L. Patterson for governor for the reason that of the three candi dates he would have the best chance of defeating Governor Pierce next fall. Marked copies of this paper were sent to the other newspapers of the state, and this editorial was reprinted In several, including at least two In Eastern Oregon. While we agree with everything said In regard, to Mr. Patterson per sonally, as a candidate for governor pitted against the vociferous Mr. Pierce it is Impossible to figure hi 111 as effective as Jay Upton. It is true that Mr. Paterson comes from a more thickly settled section of the state than his Eastern Oregon opponent, but so did Ben Olcott. and it Is not necessary to go back very far to re member what happened to Mr. Olcott. Mr. Pierce also comes from Eastern Oregon, but he is a campaigner, a shrewd debater, and an active, ag gressive man. The best man to pit against him is one who also has these characteristics. . There is nothing In the record of the past years on which to base an argument that either Mr. Patterson of the third candidate, Mr. Carter, are strong throughout the state po litically. In 1914, when Hx. Carter was a candidate for governor, he polled a total 9,435 votes out of more than 88,000, running fifth in a field of eight. Withycombe. Mosler, Craw ford and Dimick all received a heav ier vote than Mr. Carter. Mr. Patterson was a candidate for governor in 1922. .."In Multnomah county he received 2722 Votes out of a total of 43,562; in the state at large he ran third, with 13,005 votes out of a total of 114,524. There is nothing in this showing on which to base a claim that either of these candidates are strong politically, or that they would be able to defeat Walter Pierce i the kind of cam paign he would conduct. On the other hand, Jay Upton can do this very thing. Young, aggres sive, a forceful speaker and a real fighter, he can meet Governor Pierce on his own ground, and Insure the state of Oregon a Republican gover nor for the next four years. Prom a party standpoint there U much in favor of picking candidates who are especially fitted to defeat the known office seekers in the op position party, and at this time 1 . ere are many reasons why this should be done In the raee for governor. But there are many other good argu ments for Upton for Governor, most of which are incorporated in his comprehensive platform. 1 He stands for the abolishment of the emergency board as a step to wards economy, and thus forcing the various state departments to live within their budgets; the enforce ment of all laws, and the employ meat of clean, capable men to do it; the reduction of auto licenses . now made possible without hindering the road program by the increased number of cars, and the big Increase in the amount of money received from the gas tax; the rapid Improve ment of the designated highways which still remain untouched, es peclally "to improve the roads in the localities which have patiently wait ed until the more populous sections have received their pavements;" the readjustment of taxation and assess' ment; against tax exempt bonds and federal game control; and for the abolishment of the parole board. One of the strongest planks in Mr. Upton's program is relative to re clamation, and his experience en frttles him to give an expert opinion On the needs of the state in this re spect. It is one of the big issues faced by Oregon today, and the solv ing of the reclamation problem of $9- state wilj be a long step toward LEADING a renewal of prosperous conditions. Mr. Upton's political history is as surance of his carrying out his pledges. He represented Multnomah county in the House before moving to Eastern Oregon, and since that time has been twice elected to the Senate from the Central Oregon dis trict, in 1923 being honored by his associates by being clecter President. He was President of the Oregon Irri gation Congress for two years. His experience, ability and person ality make him the logical man to defeat Governor Pierce next fall. He has proven his strength in the pri mary campaign now is progress, for. In a few short weeks of strenuous, well organized effort, he has become a real contender, with a certainty of polling a big vote. If the Republic ans of Oregon want a real governor for the next four years, one who will give the state a progressive, sound administration, they have the man for the Job is Jaya Upton. The Dalles Optimist. -riSHIN' TIME" Another thing the average Maupin man can't see is why the fishing season has ' to come just at a time when house clean ing and gardening demand his attention. Even now we hear quite a number complaining be cause they are kept so busy that they have serious doubts if they will ever "catch up with their fishing." But fishing 13 one thing a fel low can enjoy talking about, even though he doesn't have an oppor tunity to do as much of it as he would Jike. Nothing is more restful, few things furnish a bet ter opportunity for relaxing and filling the lungs full of pure, fresh, healthgiving air, and from a financial standpoint there isn't an outdoor sport that requires so small a monetary expenditure. But fishing can be abused and the sport ruined for future years if a man 13 inclined to be a hog, or if illegal methods of tak ing fish are resorted to, such as seining, dynamiting, fish traps or trott lines- which fasten to both banks of a stream and pre sent a regular network of hooka. We believe the average fisher man in this section is a true sportsman, and that he is satis fied to catch his . share. But there is no occasion for permitting anyone to violate our fish and game laws, and any instance of it that may come to your notice should be immediately reported to the proper authorities. . SAME OLD "DRIFT" The farms of the U. S. lost something like a half-million in population last year, it is said. But there is nothing dishearten ing in that. Agricultural pro duction is still sufficient. In old en days everybody lived in the country; and not so very long ago there were two families on the farma to every family in the cities. Now it's the other way around and both farmers and city people are earning greater incomes per familiy. The fact is that farmers are not only more efficient in their business, but they are much better equipped. Improved machinery and the use of power have easily doubled the ability of every man who produces food. We can raise twice as much now with the same num ber of men as could have been raised forty or fifty years ago. There seems to be no occasion for getting excited over a dwind ling farm population, and no great reason for another "back to the farm" movement. The following editorial was published in a number- of state papers, and we republish it by request. It dees not indicate that The Times is in accord with the statements if contains, but out of courtesy to Mr. Patterson we run it this week: Senator I. L Patterson will be the Republican party nominee for Governor. Such is the gener al prediction being made by Re publican and Democratic leaders alike. Incidentally it might be re marked in this connection that the splendid showing of strength made by Patterson leaves no doubt of his success at the gen eral election, and that fact has been a strong element in attrac ing all class of Republicans to his standard. A remarkable feature of the campaign of Senator Patterson is, that from the time of the an nouncement of his candidacy he has maintained a strong lead ov er his opponents. It has been generally conceded all the while that he would emerge triumph ant in the Williamette Valley, the only difference of opinion be ing as to the size of his plurality, and now that Seymour Jones has announced his support of Pat terson, it is prophesied that he will carry the Valley by a majori ty, instead of plurality. It is also predicted that Mr. Patterson will carry Eastern Oregon. The census of opinion through out the state is, that if nominated Mr. Patterson would be stronger in the fall election than any other candidate. He, being a practical farmer, js in sympathy with the farmers' troubles, and will apply business methods for their re lief. Patterson is making the cam paign on a platform of progres sive and constructive principles, and making an unqualified prom ise that he will reduce taxes, and that he will apply business prin cipals to the administration of State affairs. If all the sheep flocks in this vicinity were made up of ewes like the one on the Troutman ranch, which is credited with having given birth to three lambs, at intervals of a week apart, it would not be long be fore extra sheep tenders would be in great demand. We do not believe that the people of Oregon are inclined to trade off a certainty for an, un certainty. The voters recognize the great good Robert N. Stan field has done for the state and will return him to the senate that his work for Oregon may be continued. If the" Oregonian's candidate, Fred Steiwer, should happen to secure the nomination against Stanfield, it is a safe bet that Bert Haney will be the next senator from Oregon. "History repeats itself." A city's schools and churches mark the intellectual and spirit ual attributes of its people. Maupin has splendid schools, while its churches number but two. Draw your own conclus ions. I Eleven Years Ago From The Times May 14, '15 Little Mildred Richardson, aged three years, passed away at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. L.
