The platform of William Hanley, Progressive candidate for United States Senator, is a platform as fai removed from the usual platform of fence-straddling as the poles; it is clear, concise and straightfor ward.

Thai there it none of the wily politician in the Hanley make-up is plain from a careful perusal of the platform. Every utterance of the man, as there set forth, is a plain and frank expression id' lii.s thought on subjects which are of vital interest to every citizen of Oregon. No long, carefully worded para graphs are contained therein, de signed to catch the eye and arrest the fancy of the voter, hut just straight-cut declaration of his atti tude oil each question of the day. Furthermore, to the disinterested (politically) voter, it will at once Lie seen that the Hanley platform is complete and ample and that it hits |he spot in every instance. The reason it hits ihe spot in every instance is because the man who stands on it is a product of Oregon; he is a native born eili- zen, one whose interests lie in Oregon and whose every thought is for the betterment of Ihe state; he knows what Ihe people of Oregon need and, given the opportunity to do so, he will gel those things for them.
