REPUBLICANS- DON'T SEND A "CHAIN GANG" TO THE NATIONAL CONVENTION Power-hungry politicians, seeking to control the Oregon delegation to the Na tional Republican Convention are throwing the full force of their machine into at tacking the eight so-called "petition" delegates. The fact is that these delegates filed under provisions of the law designed to protect the public under just such conditions as we have in the State of Oregon today. Petition Method Protects The People The Oregon Direct Primary law under which these eight delegates filed by petition, seeking election as free delegates, not under control of the slate political machine was initiated by the people and adopted in June, 1!)04 by an overwhelming vote. In 1915, the state legislature amended the original law to provide an "additional method" for selecting delegates without in any way supplanting or disturbing the traditional and time-honored piethod of filing by petition. In 1916 this amendment was carried to the State Supreme Court which ruled that the amendment "afforded another method (additional to the petition mehod) for candidates to get before the voters", leaving the original petition method un changed and intact. Protects Against Machine Politics In 1939, the legislature passed a law taking from the people the privilege of naming their own delegates to the national convent ions. The law was referred to the people, who rejected it, choosing to leave both the petition method and the declara tory method on the statute books. The petition method of filing Is therefore a valid law for the specific purpose of protecting the public against machine politics such as we have in the state today.

Many people write us such comments as this: "I've heard people talk against big companies like you. Lately I've been read ing your statements about bigness. Am I supposed to be glad you're big?" The answer to this question depends on your answer to certain others. Some people have come to feel that bigness itself may be bad. Consider the good that comes from this same bigness. Do you like a bargain? You're getting one in gasoline. Except for taxes, gasoline today costs just about what it did in 1925. (And it's better gas; 2 gallons now do work that then took 3.) Why? Largely because of competition among big oil companies. Do you like new and better things? Standard has spent over $35,000,000 on research and tech nical service in the last 5 years, developing new or improved products, and new raw materials for other companies. Yet only when allowed to grow big, by serving you better, can we take on the work and risk involved. Do you want to keep your country strong? It takes big companies to back our fighting men and keep defense goods in full supply. Standard is at work for our government on aviation gaso lines, atomic research, synthetic rubber, and other vital projects. Are you glad you have the conveniences of this 'machine age?" They depend heavily on oil. You re assured an ample supply of oil by the en terprise of big companies like Standard. We seek out new crude reserves, in this country and abroad, with exploration that may cost millions before the first gallon is found. clueX n by our bigness . . . And if you ke the things STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA Plans ahead to serve you better
