prised then at his actions some few
years ago when he used every means
possible to induce our legislature to
pass a bill saddling us taxpayers with,
possibly 83.000,000 for a Portland
World’s' Fair. I came to the conclu
sion he was simply seeking the nomin
ation for governor by trying to wear
the coat of the late G. W. Joseph
( which is a mighty poor fit) and ready
to spend his “wad” for that purpose,
as he stated later.
I could further
see, and his actions have proved, that
he was determined to make the race
irrespective of the actions of the state
committee.
Prior to reaching Portland I had
not committed myself to atey candi
date. but had _ definitely decided the
man I would voté for and use my in
fluence for must possess the follow
ing qualifications:
First: He must know the State as
a whole and the needs of its people
and must have executive ability and
business experience to conduct a suc
cessful. economic administration.
Second: He must be willing to rec
ognise the eastern counties of Oregon
by placing them on an equal basis
with other counties, especially Mult
nomah.
And third, and most important to
me, he must be a man whose present
and past moral character and records
in an open book and above reproach.
By dose investigation I found these
qualifications and many otffers in our
present candidate, Phil Metachan, who
was legally and unanimously nom
inated in atrict accordance With our
primary law.
Mr. Meier abuses, in hia domineer
ing way, the actions of the commit
tee in scrapping, or not adopting the
Joseph platform. In this instance we
had advice from the Attorney General
that the committee had no right to
adopt the Joseph or any other plat
form. The opposition no doubt would
have liked to have had the committee
do something illegal that would not
stand the test
