GUY CORDON
The governor’s appointment of
Guy Cordon to succeed the late
Gfcarlee L. McNary was to choose
one of the l>est men the state of
Oregon has to send
— to Washing-
ton. It is especially valuable at
this time when the state needs a
man in the capital who known the
details of lawmaking in the senate.
Cordon does. He has been watch
ing the process for about two sen
atorial tern» alreay as attorney
for the Oregon Lana Grant coun
ties.
Cordon is intelligent. He came
up the hard way, obtained h » law
degree by reading at home and
with (friends in the profewion
lead by himself to obtain an ed
ucation that is .now superior to
that of many who attended uni-
verwitiea.
He is a hard worker. The com
bination of knowledge of the job
at hand, intelligence and ability
and desire to work makes him an
ideal appointment. It is hard to
fee how a better man could have
l>een chosen.
SneH might well be compliment
ed for the appointment. He had
three choices. He could have
named a stooge who would have
served the remainder of the year
vith oat filing for the office, thus
leaving that for Snell. He could
br.ve rerigned and been appoint
ee by Senator Steiwer who would
have succeeded him. He chose the
third means of filling the vacancy,
one that put him* entirely out of
the race for the senate this year.
He has indicated that he con
siders the United States senator-
chip a serious matter and one
not Ao be a mere personal politi
cal aonoideration. He has also
shown himself to b? a better man
than the majority considered him
in the week before the appoint-
• ment.
\
' It is to be hoped that Senator
Cordon will immediately file for
election for tihe four year term
and that the state will return
him to that office and retain him
in the committee appointments he
will obtain.

It is time. Yea, spring has come

seems as phony as the winter. It
is like a woman with her hat
