U. S. Senator Races in the Primaries
The most interesting phase of the
approaching primaries is the tight for
nominations for United States Sena-
tor. In the Democratic party Willis
Mahoney has no opposition for the
four year term, and Edgar Smith
seems far ahead for the six year
term. The real contests lie in Repub
lican ranks between Charles A.
Sprague and Senator Guy Cordon for
the four year term, and Senator Ru-
fus Holman and Wayne Morse for the
six year term. Both ex-governor
Sprague and Wayne Morris are mak
ing vigorous campaigns and Senators
Holman and Cordon are so far, de
pending on their friends to protect
their interests. Both these campaigns
are waxing warm, with considerable
acrimony between Holman and Morse.
Sprague, to date, seems to have a
big edge on the prospects for the nom
ination, and apparently Morse is gain
ing rapidly. Both have the endorse
ment of the big labor organization*,
and Morse made a ten strike when he
came out forthrightly against the tie-
up of Montgomery Ward. Both are
holding meetings all over the state,
and are mixing with the voter* in city,
hamlet and countryside with good ef
fect. Sprague is making excellent
speeches, and the newspapers are giv
ing his ideas on the responsibility of
the senatorship during the coming
years wide publicity. Sprague is con
sidered sound, safe and fair, and he
has shown a growth in political un
derstanding of state, national and in
ternational subjects during the past
several year*. He knows Oregon and
the needs of the entire west and has
a grasp of the growing importance of
Pacific trade relations equal to any
other man on the coast. While he is
not considered as a good politician, in
the usual meaning of politics, he has
a wide acquaintance throughout the
state, and a vast number of friends
who consider that he is entitled to the
nomination because of his record as
governor and honest sen ice to his
party,
Nevertheless, campaigns take many
strange quirks, and there are yet two
weeks for the voters to make up their
minds before making the marks in the
booth* that count.

THIS MODERN FARMING MACHINE
Automatically Changes its "Weight” to Suit the Job
Here’s The Story : This modern farming machine makes it
unnecessary for you to pay for a tractor too big for 90% of your
power requirements to do a few tough jobs representing only
10% of your needs.
The Ford Tractor with Ferguson System is the only tractor
which gives you light weight for light work and then automati
cally "heavies" itself when the going gets tough. Therefore, there
is no necessity for excess built-in ballast. No knuckles to skin
or bark in piling on steel or concrete weights. No dead metal
to pay for or fuel bills to carry it around.
This is only part of the story. Come in and let us tell you about
all the other postwar advantages of th« modern tractor.
