Descendent of pioneers who came to Oregon in the FIRST WAGON yf' TRAIN OF 1843. Attended VjfiG&tft lie schools in Lebanon and grad- JLi uated from the UNIVERSITY tXy 1 OF OREGON LAW SCHOOL p) l During Warren Gill's formative years his parents taught him the value of money. He worked in gas sta tions as a "grease monkey", started to sea as an "ordi nary seaman", became a 3rd mate, worked on a "rail road section gang". These experiences have fortified WARREN GILL with a true appreciation of supplying equal opportunity for all who value money, and the work that must be done to accumulate all the qualities of successful leadership. The giant strides made by WARREN GILL, from the "lumber camps" and "railroad section gangs" to the proud possessor of the Navy's top honor, THE NAVY CROSS, for heroic service in combat, and as a leader of the Republican forces in the State senate indicates the aggressive action Oregon can expect from this proven fighting leader. This Oregon Heritage demands of WARREN GILL leadership and service to his native state. There is no substitute for actual experience. WARREN GILL has been a laborer, employer, attor ney and leading legislator. None of his opponents can match this' background of experience that so well equips him for Governor. Senator Gill well understands the problems of the worker and the businessman in a way not possible by those who have not had experience or found the need to create new industry. Following his war service WARREN GILL rolled up his sleeves and established a successful law firm in his home town Lebanon, Oregon. Not satisfied with his roll as a successful counselor for his many clients, he organized the Lebanon Boat Works, creating payroll for his home town. He is Secretary of the Willamette Fibre and Chip Board Company Inc., and the Lebanor. Industrial Development Corporation, that has and & seeking more work and industry for Oregon. WARREN GILL is a successful businessman and lawyer who un- ' derstands the need for industry and the importance of creating more work for more people. AFFILIAVienG WARREN GILL is a man of integ rity. ..a member of the Presbyterian Church, Masonic Order, Elks Lodge, I. O. O. Fn Past Commander of his American Legion Post, Order of the Purple Heart, V. F. W., 40 et 8 and Lebanon Chamber of Commerce. GUI FOR GOVERNOR COMMITTEE 700 Main St., Lebanon, Or. J. Military Veterans will appreciate that it takes a man with leadership ability to enlist as an apprentice seaman atj the outset of World War H and retire in 1946 with the rank of Lieutenant Commander. During these years WARREN GILL'1' was awarded the NAVY CROSS and the LEGION OF MERIT, in recognition of his heroic service. He wears the Purple Heart for combat wounds that hos pitalized him for 20 months. WARREN GILL led assault forces In the invasions of North Africa, Sicily and Salerno, Italy . . .

LET'S LOOK AT WARREN GILL'S DYNAMIC LEGISLATIVE RECORD! WARREN GILL has more experience in state government than any other Republican candidate for Governor, served ten years in the Oregon State Legislature, is Republican Leader of the Senate. Committee appointments have in cluded Roads and Highways, Veterans' affairs. Forestry and Mining, Game, Alcoholic Control, Elections and Privileges, and Financial Affairs. For the past four years Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. WARREN GILL cast more than 37,000 votes affecting the people of Oregon. Has been the author of important legis lation, resisted government domination of local affairs. Stated on Senate floor," abhor big government; the bigger it get the smaller you and I become." His intelligence, hon esty, integrity, popularity and courage are acknowledged by members of both parties.- WARREN GILL SAYS WHAT HE MEANS AND DOES WHAT HE SAYS HE WILL DO. A test of his leadership and ability to get things done came during the recent special session, when Republicans refused to settle for a 6 tax cut proposed by the Democrat Gov ernor. Thanks to Republican solidarity, the people received an income tax reduction of over 20. One of Gill's colleagues said of him, "The way Warren held us together, to fight as a team during those trying days, was nothing short of spec tacular!" As chairman of the powerful Judiciary Committee and Republican leader in the Senate, WARREN GILL has excel lent "on the job" experience and "know how" in the func tions of state government, and knows what action is required to get results for the people of Oregon. The experience WARREN GILL had as an employee, in ' lumber camps, confirmed his belief that TIMBER IS A CROP TO BE PLANTED AND HARVESTED thus pro tecting our forests for future generations. His understand ing of our forests problems was of great value in his service ' on the Forestry and Mining Committee of the Legislature. As a member of committees of the house and senate, Sen ator Gill had the opportunity of learning all sides of our hydro-electric development programs and the effect on our economy ... he fully appreciates the economic value to the state of our power resources development and will do every thing possible to encourage the rapid, orderly development -of our power potential as well as to see that our fishing in dustry, irrigation-reclamation developments are not retarded. As a result of sponsoring legislation for the people of Oregon, WARREN GILL has played an important roll in getting things done for the state.
