in a statement issued at Medford
Thursday, Dr. James Withycombe, Re- |
publican direct primary nominee for
governor, outlines the policies and
ideals of state government to which
he adheres as an aspirant for the of­
fice of chief executive. The statement,
in effect, is a platform and in it he ■
discloses fully and unmistakably his
stand on the vital issues of the cam- [
paign. The statement follows:
As the Republican direct primary
nominee for governor of Oregon, I
wish to address to the people of the
state a brief general outline of those
ideals of state government which it is
my ambition to put into effect and
which moved me to become a candi- !
date for the high office of governor.

affairs. Not economy at the expense
of efficiency, but economy as a part

VOTE “ NO” 329 AND “NO” 331
The very life of the future manufacturing and industrial
progress of Oregon hinges upon the defeat of the so-called “Water
Front” bills, to be voted on Tuesday, November 3rd
So cunningly and adroitly are these bills worded there is
grave danger that many people will be deceived.
If these measures become laws the result will be that the
State will take title to the tidelands and submerged lands and will
be prohibited from selling any of these lands. They can only be
leased for docks. No more ship-yards, saw-mills, canneries or
other plants requiring access to deep water—nothing but dock,
docks, docks.
Every citizen of Oregon—wage earner, farmer, business
man or woman, wants to prosper. These measures if enacted
will throttle progress at the gate. Investors will slum Oregon
This means no work for the wage-earner, nothing to pay the
store-keeper with and therefore nothing to pass on to the farmer
or producer. Let no one think these bills do not concern him.
Before you go into the booth to vote, read 329 and 331 care­
fully. Talk to your neighbors about them.
Oregon is rich in natural resources, but poor in develop-
ment. What the state needs above everything else is outside
money to come in and develop its resources. That means GOOD
WAGES, PLENTY OF WORK, GOOD PRICES and GOOD
TIMES,
This is not a political question ; it concerns only the
prosperity of Oregon and of! you.
