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.

YOU CAN HELP
EASE IT.
Last year the American
Farmer lost almost two bil
lion dollars. Over one hun
dred thousand farms
closed down. 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.
