OR OREGON AND
ITS PEOPLE
In the gubernatorial campaign now drawing to a close, Senator George W. Joseph
is battling. as he has always battled. for the welfare of the State and its people.
Read What the Sta te
HIS FIRST APPEARANCE in the political
arena years ago was as the champion of the
Australian ballot system so that the people might
cast their ballot in secret without coercion. - t
HE NEXT CHAMPIONED the direct primary
law so that the people themselves might nomi
nate candidates to office without dictation from
corporate interests or political bosses.
HE NEXT ESPOUSED the Initiative to the
people might enact their own laws; the Referen
dum so that they might nullify vicious legisla
tion, and the Recall so that they might retire un
faithful officials from office. '
IN THE 1911 SENATE he introduced a reso
lution recommending the adoption of the' Equal
Suffrage Amendment so that the women might
enjoy the sacred right of the franchise on an
equality with the men. .
IN THIS SAME SESSION he introduced a bill
creating a State Highway Board which was the
forerunner of legislation resulting in our mag
nificent highway system and was instrumental
in later sessions in releasing highway construc
tion from the grip of the blacktop paving
monopoly.
IN THE PRESENT CAMPAIGN Senator
Joseph is making public development of our
water power resources without cost to the tax
payers his major issue, to the end .that Oregon
may be liberated from the stifling and blight
ing control of the power monopoly and forge '
ahead industrially and agriculturally.
IN THE PRESENT CAMPAIGN Senator
Joseph is also espousing the sacred constitu
tional right of free speech and justice to every
citizen, the abolition of the Public Service Com
mission and a return to the home rule principle
for the control and regulation of public utilities.
All these orincioles are of vital importance to
M the State and its people.

GEORGE W. JOSEPH
The Leading Republican Candidate for Governor
Press Says:
Just a few newspaper comments illustrative
of the esteem in which Joseph the man is held
even by those who differ from him politically:
"Not many men who have served in a public
capacity in Oregon have so good a record for
clean politics, clean government and clean
citizenship." The Oregon Journal.
"An eloquent and forceful orator and able
floor leader, he repeatedly championed sound
legislation that had been doomed to , defeat,
with the result that it emerged triumphant."
The Portland Telegram. -
"Joseph has a long record of anti-power trust
activity behind him." Portland News.
"We hold an admiration for Mr. Joseph's
splendid ability that we do not attempt to con
ceal. He has one of the keenest minds that we
have ever observed. Klamath FalU Herald.
"George W. Joseph is now far in the lead,
sure, unless something extraordinary occurs, of
the Republican nomination." Klamath Basin
Progress.
"More people are attending the Joseph meet
ings than there are attending those of any other
two candidates combined." LJmpqua Courier.
"The times are peculiarly suited to Senator
Joseph s candidacy." Portland Spectator.
"He has personality, initiative and fearless
ness. Salem Hollywood Press.
"Joseph, it is recalled, has been prominently
and favorably identified in the public mind with
the battles against the Telephone Company and
Electric Light and Street Car Corporation."
oafem Capitol Journal.
"In the Senate and in this campaign he has
proved that he is the common man's friend."
rVooaoHrn Independent.
Oregon needs Senator Joseph's wide experience in
the business world, his rare executive ability and
leadership in the executive chair to bring about the
adoption of this comprehensive and constructive
program.
It is'time for a change of administration at the
Mate capital -time to relegate politics to oblivion

so that Oregon may expagd and its people enjoy an
era of prosperity.
