THE GAZETTE-TIM, HEPPXKft, Otto6$ THTR8 AY.MAY t, 1 91 pAc.tc Pom RALPH E. Williams R REPUBLICAN Candidate for National Committeeman ALPH E. WILLIAMS, of Portland, native son of Oregon and present Republican National Committeeman, is a candi date for renomination and election. All Oregon knows that Mr. Williams was the chief factor in bringing about the reunion of the Repub'.ican"and Progressive parties in the state in 1916, resulting in Oregon being the only state in the West to cast its electoral vote for Hughes. That Mr. William's splendid work in harmonizing the various elements of the Republican and Progressive parties is also recognized nationally, is attested by strong letters of endorsement, written by William R. Wilcox, retiring chairman of the Republican National Committee, George W. Perkins, chairman of the executive committee of the Progressive paAy, and Will H. Hays, recently elected chairman of the National Republican Com mittee. These letters refer not only to the state and national cam paign of 1916, but also to the recent meeting of the Republican Na tional Committee at St. Louis, where Mr. Williams' activities mate rially aided in establishing the spirit of cooperation and harmony which now prevails in the party throughout the United States. i A descendant of Oregon pioneer stock, his parents having crossed the plains to Oregon in 1S45, Ralph Williams' Americanism has found abundant expression since the outbreak of the war by partici pation in all patriotic war activities. As is generally known, seniority in service gives prestige and in fluence on the Republican National Committee in the same measure as on Congressional committees. At the present time he is ranked as to seniority on the National Committee by two members only. This puts Mr. Williams in a position of power and distinction such as no new member of the Committee could hope to attain. His reelection will insure to the State of Oregon all the added benefits which will naturally accrue from his Increased standing. THOS. H. TONGUE, Jr. CLYDE G. HUNTLEY WILLARD L. MARKS WALTER L.

Commenting editorially upon tht candidacy of F. C. Hurley of Astoria. f;ir the republican nomination for governor on "a beer and light wine' platform, the Bend Press has the ful 'living : "Hurley is a scream, and it is in deed stn.nge that sedate Chapman should find anything to commend in the Astoria mayor. "Harley as governor of Oregon on a "beer and light wine" platform would bring the same publicity to this state that the governor of North Carolina and the governor of South Carolina did to those fair common wealths on a memorable occasion. "As a publicity expert Harley is a P. T. Barnum and Lydla Pinkham salad with a Painless Parker dress ing. "In Astoria he, as mayor of the City by the Sea, introduced himself to his townsmen as "the next gover nor of Oregon," and then as mayor backed off the stage and as governor select he trod the boards. "He has purchased the steam cal lope of Painless Parker, painted it lily white,, and will tour all available towns. "He asks every man who has tak en a drink of raw whiskey since Doc Anderson's bone dry law became ef fective to be honest and vote for him. "He says 'if I cannot wake up Ore gon, I will ask Congress to make a special appropriation and declare the state a national cemetery. "In his headquarters in the Port land Hotel, in charge of Mark Wood ruff, on a little glass shelf stands an invitational flask, flanked with small glasses. The contents of said flask Is neither "light wine or beer," and departing Visitors have been ' heard to remark, "If that stuff is a sample of the kind of Governor Harley, will make, here goes a vote for Doc An derson." v. " C i-t OREGON HAS PRIDE. . Oregon's claim for first honors in subscribing her quota to the 'Liberty loan is not surprising in view of her preparations. The 'drives" for the first and sec ond loans were not well planned end the result was that Oregon made a poorer showing than the average state on either the Pacific coast or In the nation at large. Indeed, they were saved from failure, according 0 the Oregon Voter, "only by the host of tfue patriots all through the state who rallied at the last moment be cause they realized that the honor, of Oregon was at stake." . It was deter mined tlmt next time thing3 should be different. ; Months ago, accordingly, an organ ization by counties, communities and rural districts was perfected. Maps and tables were published, showing how the counties responded to the second loan. Laurels were heaped upon Benton, Wallowa and Union counties for exceeding the maximum quota announced only two days be fore the campaign closed. It was prophesied that rivalry among the counties would result "in some pretty good races" to see who would be high on the roll of honor in the third drive. Apparently, the state has "made good.' New York Evening Post. i like that to worry me, I have had quite a good trip slnct I left the' states, even though we i ere torpedoed; I visited Ireland, Scotland and Wales and was also in England for quite a while.

March, 1918. My Own Dear Mother: I have been on the go for the last week and have been unable to write. I received both letters, one had the , stamps but as yet I have not receiv- i ed the candy you sent, but am hop-! ing it will reach me soon. We are getting letters right along and I am looking forward to the package. j I am well and feeling fine, although the climate over here is not like our climate and It will take me some time to get use to it. 1 think it is a little bit damper here than in Ore gon, but I am not going to let that stop nie. I lo mi want a small tiling! FORMER HEPPNER BOY NOW A COOK IN FRANCE Elwyn Shipley, a boy horn In Heppner and who still has a number of relatives here, writes some inter esting letters to his mother, Mrs. Guy Boyd, of Parma, Idaho, The letters are read by her, sent to other members of the family and finally re turned to her. Young Shipley is a cook wiht Co. D 116 Engineers and has been in France since January. Somewhere In France, Feb. 15, 1918. Dear Mother: I have (Cut out by censor) and am now with the old company and am still cooking. We are In a good sized town, one of the oldest of the French cities. It has one of the oldest and most historic of the old French castles or chateaus, as the French call them. It was built 400 A. D. It was very Interesting to go through and see the dungeon and all the prison cells and think of what had happened there. It is an education, that one cannot' get In books, and I am sure that wt will all be many years ahead when We get back to the old U. S. A., which won't be very long I hope. In the meantime I hope you won't worry about me, because I am in no danger, and from the looks of things, won't be. I got that box you sent ,(Cut by censor) joined the company, I sure was glad to get the sweater, it is just the thing I needed, because it Is cold and damp here, and the weather is very disagreeable. As far as I know, there are no peanuts raised here, for I have tried to get some several times. I have a pair of wristlets that were Issued to me by the Red Cross, so The Busy Season of the Year Now confronts Business-man, Farmer and Stockman In order that all may render max imum service to our country in this, her trying year, every facility should be utilized for production of all necessities. All issues of Liberty Bonds have been oversubscribed; nue should now apply our energies to preparation for the next, which is sure to come. We are willing and prepared to as sist all deserving in the production of these necessities and in their prepara tion for future calls of the Govern ment, and we invite the opening of ac counts, with these ends in view. The First National Bank of Heppner ASSETS OVER ONE MILLION DOLLARS I won't need any of them. I went down town last night and was surprised at the number of peo ple who can speak English and the number of American products, such as kodaks, guns, Singer sewing ma chines and watches. I am using a Corona typewriter. It-belongs to Gibbons, our mess ser geant. I hope this will pass the cen sor because I wrote you a letter about a week ago and got it back yester day, bo had to re-write It. I expect you will laugh when you read It, ELWYN F. SHIPLEY. Dear Mother: I have a little time to write, but nothing to write about. I am off duty today and have been cleaning up and sewing a few buttons on here and there and am going to do a little washing as soon as the water gets warmer. It has been a fine day and the bud is shining, but the air Is still cold. We now have a regimental mess. That Is, all the mess Is cooked on one big kitchen and a certain number of cooks are on each day and the way it comes out, we go on every third day. We are In good warm barracks or caserne, as the French call them, and in all the 16th is very lucky. I am glad I am with them and not with the Infantry. If anyone should happen to tell you that France Is starving tell them I said it wasn't the truth, because when one goes down town the first tiling he notices is how much he sees in the shops and I can get a fino meal here for about 4 franks, a much better meal than I could get in New York for the same money.
