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.

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

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

i like that to worry me,
I have had quite a good trip slnct
I left the' states, even though we

Scotland and Wales and was also in
England for quite a while. We all
seemed to enjoy the stay in those
places. Well mother write as often
as you can and don't work too hard.
Hoping this finds you all well and
happy, I am your devoted son,

our boys after (all, but I am hoping
for the day to come when I can get
my revenge back on the Huns.
We don't get our mail very often
but d"on't worry, I will drop you a
line often so you can have a word
from me. You must write often. I

I am well and feeling fine, although
the climate over here is not like our

time to get use to it. 1 think it is
a little bit damper here than in Ore

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

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.
