Ayrll 23, 11H To the Republican Voters q( Oregon: ; We, the undersigned, all formerly Progressives and now registered Republicans, wish to add our endorsement to the candidacy of Ralph K. Williams, of Portland, for re-election on May 17 to the position of Repub lican National Committeeman. We endorse his candidacy for the follow ing definite reasons: In the first plsce, If Mr. Williams had not invited and encouraged the Progressives to Join, with the Republicans of this State In 1916, there would have been no active co-operation between the two forces and Oregon would undoubtedly have been lost to the Republican cause. Mr. Williams advocated the adoption by the Republican National Committee of a simi lar program of amalgamation aod o-operatlve action in the other States. If bis suggestion concerning California and Washington had been fol lowed those two States would also have been found in the Republican column after the national election. . i 1- . ;- ., . , 5 Mr. Williams' attitude of friendliness towsrd Colonel Roosevelt Is enerally known to Republican leaders throughout this Country and SUte. The same spirit of unity which Mr. Williams was so largely instru mental in effecting in Oregon in 1916. he also strove successfully to bring about at the recent meeting of the Republican National Committee at St. Loots. The new Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Will H. Hays, who was elected at the St. Louis meeting, has joined with George w. Perkins, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the former Pro gressive party, in commending Mr. Williams' efforts to achieve harmony at St. Louis. On the occasion of his recent visit to Portland, Mr. Hays called attention to the splendid spirit of harmony which now prevails among alt lenient of the Republican party In Oregon and earnestly urged that It be maintained.'1"" - ... j .
