He understands the problem of DEMOCRAT for secretary of state law enforcement, custody and rehabilitation of law violators and administration of insti tutions. If elected, he would be the first high state official in many years with special knowledge in the administration of criminal justice." The Oregonian, October 9, 1968 CITIZENS OF MORROW COUNTY: I strongly recommend your support and vote for George Van Hoomissen for Secretary of State. I have known George personally through all his political career. He had a distinguished record in the Legislature. As Multnomah County District Attorney he performed duties in such a competent and nonpartisan manner that he was nominated by both parties in 1966 when he was elected to a second term. We of the smaller populated Eastern Oregon counties need a man in state administra tion that we can depend on. George Van Hoomissen is that man. JUDGE JAMES O.

How can you help stop this trend? Elect Richard Nixon President. Here are some of the things he wants to do: 1. Appoint a Secretary of Agriculture who will ex plain the farmers' prob lems to the President, in stead of the Secretary explaining the President's policies to the farmer, as is now the case. 2. Increase exports of American agricultural products, which are a prin cipal factor in our trade surplus. 3. Establish a special task force to develop and implement a program to increase dairy products. 4. Increase the research effort by the Department of Agriculture to find bet ter and more diverse ways to utilize our enormous volume of farm produce.
