ate he has had an important influence in such legislation
especially as it concerns Oregon.
^It goes without saying, of course, that a man for so
important a position as United States senator should be
elected, not for his stand op some one measure, but for his
record and attitude on general legislation which affects and
is likely to affect the state and nation. On this basis
McNary has been the most effective senator Oregon has
had in the present generation and it is certain that the
welfare of the state will be well served if he is returned to
office.
SOME CANDIDATES
A peculiar situation has arisen in the Republican
ticket this year. Seventeen candidates are seeking to go
to Cleveland as delegates to the convention from the state
at large. Each of the three districts in the state is entitled
to two delegates for a total of six and four are elected from
the state at large to make up the ten the state is allowed.
Seventeen are running for four jobs and in this district
three are running for two jobs. Peculiar, and unfortunate,
for there are many good men among the seventeen who
cannot be elected.
Among the group are three from eastern Oregon, Ben
Litfin, who is publisher of a newspaper in The Dalles and
is known to many Sherman countians who will undoubted
ly give him a good vote. Arthur Priaulx of Klamath county,
present chairman of the state committee and an active and
aggressive young Republican and D. J. Butcher of The
Dalles, former business man and Townsend advocate.
There are other well known names in the list. There
is Earl Goodwin, Governor Martin’s one time secretary;
Arthur Geary, freight rate attorney, Joe Dunne, guberna
torial candidate, Tom Verdenius, Dr. Smith, Irving Rand
and Stanley Myers, all of Multnomah county.
We feel safe in recommending Ben Litfin and Arthur
F^iaulx as men who are aepuainted with the second district
and able to look out for its interests.
The race for national committeeman of the Republican
party is being run between Ralph Williams, 28 year old
veteran in the job, and Ben Dorris, young filbert grower of
Eugene. There is an old saying to the effect that when
your luck is bad it is time to overhaul and change your
management It might apply to the Republican party.
Those who believe that party success would be aided by sn
infusion of new blood will have a chance to express them,
selves by voting for Mr. Dorris.
