The Highest possible endorsement. The most rigid test that hts
policies, pra ti ed over a period of twenty years, are Sound, Just
and Efficient
The Best Possible Proof that hts pledges to the citizens of Oregon
are not mere "words” but “words backed by works”
Those who know him believe IN him, believe IN his ABILITY, be
lieve IN his POLICIES
They know he will give Oregon a Clean,
Impartial, Businesslike administration.
They know it to be true, absolutely.
Why?
Bec ause
In nineteen years he has employed 21.000 men.
Ue has always paid good wages.
He never had a strike or a personal injury suit.
He built many houses "on time,” never foreclosed a mortgage or
sued on a promissory note.
He has helped many laboring men to acquire their homes, (their busi
ness and their livelihood.
These workers, who know him best, have endorsed him to a man,
have anopted the above slogan and that’s “WHY” he Is “Your kind
of a man for Governor. ”

SIMPSON VISITS HERMISTON
Wednesday morning bright and
early L. J. Simpson, candidate
for governor of this state, came
to Hermiston by auto and for a
couple of hours circulated among
the people of this community.
We had heard quite a bit about
the gentleman’s good qualities
before becoming acquainted with
him on that day, but we had
taken it all with a grain of salt
in the belief that it was only pol
itical buncombe let loose for his
gubernatorial aggrandizement.
But on meeting him we could see
at a glance over the make-up of
the man that our impression of
him had been all wrong, and we
now believe the high rating the
gentleman has received by
friends here and elsewhere is
wholly justified.
That we are not alone in our
opinion is shown from the fact
that all whom he met while here
have signified their intention of
voting for him for governor. His
appearance, personality and open
frankness at once dispells any
idea that he has an ax to grind
in seeking the highest office in
the state, and reports from al
over the country where he has
campaigned show that the voters
are rapidly coming to the belief
that L. J. Simpson will be one
governor of Oregon that will
serve all the people in a just and
equitable manner.
