In announcing myself as a candidate
for nomination for Governor on the
Republican ticket at the primary elec
tion to be held cn May 17, 1918, I de
sire to appeal tc the voters of Oregon
as individuals, who, as such, are will
qualified to judge the issues of the day
' and w ho w ill vole as their judgment
shall direct.
I 1 am a Republican and believe in the
i principles of the Republican party,
I and above everything I am an Amer
ican and believe in the principals of
my country. I am not a member of,
nor affiliated wit',:, any particular fac
tion or part of tile Republican parly;
nor am I pledged to support any of
the candidates for office at the com-
■ ing primary election. I pledge the
people of Oregon, that, in contacting
iny campaign 1 will not support any
’ particular candidate for office in pref
erence to the other candidate for the
same office; that 1 will r.ot promise
appointment to office 01 politic il pat
ronage to anyone; that if nominated
and elected 1 shall enter office with
, neither premise 11 < r pledge to redeem,
' except those which 1 give to the peo
ple them-elves; reserving the right to
make such appointments and to con
duct the office with whatever unpre
judiced independence the best inter
ests of the people of Oregon and the
development, peace and welfare of the
State shall demand. If the voters de-
■ cidc that they do not desire that I be
| their candidate I will give my undi-
' vided support to the Republican can-

| I shall as far as possible, make a
personal campaign, with the object of
meeting as many individuals as time
I will permit, and shall endeavor to es-
' tablish and maintain a close personal
relationship with the people of the

. and understand their needs and re-
I quirements .

The sectional character of the Un
derwood law is plainly revealed by
such facts as these; Rice of the south
is dutiable, wheat of the north is free
(except for a small duty against coun
tries that maintain a wheat Tariff)
Potatoes of the north are frce( with
a similar exception), but tobacco of
the south and peanuts of the south
are protected. W ool of the north is
free, but Angora goat's hair of I exas
is dutiable. The only textiles now ad
mitted free arc those used for bagging
by the cotton planter and the cotton
seed oil maker ot the south. (. e tain
metal strips are duitable, but when
cut in lengths, painted and fitted with
buckles for bailing southern cotton,
they are free.
Here is a list of important agricul-
tural products transferred to the free
list by the Underwood law; Cattle,
sheep, wool, beef, mutton, corn, eggs,
milk, cream, potatoes and wheat. The
duties on the following were greatly
reduced; Horses, poultry, oats, hay,
cheese and butter.

pelted to sell his products to a f rec
trade market, and buy his machinery
and other supplies in a Protec’ed mar-

Rut it may be urged that the far
mers arc now getting good prices for
their products. This is true, but it is
the war that does it. When the war is
over, the full effect of the competi
tion of the cheap lands, the cheap la
bor and the cheap transportation of
other countries, will be felt by our
farmers.

This Ought to Scare Us ?
Colonel John Leader, cammandant
of the State University Battalion and
head of the department of military
science, makes some sensational state
ments when he pridicts Germans now
in South America and Mexico will in
vade the Northwest before the year is
out. He argues:
“From a military standpoint, such
an invasion would be comparatively
simple. A large body of Huns to the
south would board tramp steamers,
not in a body, but by degrees, meet
somewhere in the Pacific, and from
there move against the coast. Landing
at various points along the Oregon
and Washington Coast, they could
move inland »gains. the defenseless
country entirely free of organized op
position. Simultaneously with the in
vasion, German agents within the
northwest states could completely
isolate the section from the rest of
the country by destroying railroad
bridges and blasting tunnels. Colonel
Leader predicts that the people of the
Northwest will hear the boom of Ger
man guns and the dies cf ravaged
woman" before the year is out.”
ft is true that the war has brought
many surprises, but this, if it should
prove true, will be something that the
northwest did not anticipate. The
colonel gives his reasons for this:
"Before coming to this country I
was connected with the British intel
ligence bureau. While in this service
1 secu.ed information to the effect
that the German nation now has al
most three quarters oí a million men,
fully equipped and tr: incd for service
m South America and Mexico. These
troops have been there since the be
ginning of the war, and are planing to
invade the Pacific ports far the pur
pose of causing the American troops
to be withdrawn from Europe.”
We hope and think Colonel Leader
is mistaken about hearing the "boom
of German guns and the cries of rav
aged women before the war is out,"
but it makes a good argument in favor
of the government building a military
highway on the Pacific Coast.
There is one thing that Colonel
Leader seems to have overlooked. It
takes thousands of vessels to trans
port 750,000 men, and w ith all German
vessels bottled up and only a few
small neutral countries not involved
in the war, we would like to ask Col
onel Leader where are the ’ vessels
that are to transport these men i to the
Pacific Coast?

TILLAMOOK- OREGON.
A Sectional Tariff.
American ingenuity is again rising
to its appointed task. It has undertak
en to supply for all American needs
all the dyestuffs which our manufac
turers will require. To do this, how
ever, means the expenditure of a great
deal of new capital for the erection of
plants and their equipment. So long
as the war continues and a British
fleet shuts out from our shores the
German dyes, these new American
dye plants will be able to live com
fortably. But when the war ends the
German producers who have made
dyes their special product will again
be able to undersell the American out
put unless the latter receive a decent
amount of protection. There is vir
tually no secret about this industry
which is not now' in our possession.
It is only a question of whether cap
ital will risk this new venture without
the assurance of lair play, according
to American protective
standards.
Our country has the capacity to make
dyes enough for the whole world, cer
tainly enough for our own use. A
spirit of broad ami helpful statesman
ship at Washington would see to it
that this expanding industry will get
a Tariff law that "ill enable it to go
on expanding, far or no war.
Canada Needs Railroaders.
------ o------
Upon the efficiency of the railroads
behind the line of the Allied Armies
in Fiance, depends not only the lives
of the men going “over the top" but
the final outcome of the great con
flict which is about to be staged on
the W estern front.
To play her full part, Canada has
lately increased her army on the fir
ing line, and this has necessitated in
creased railroad operations.
Information has been received at
the British and Canadian Recruiting
office, Third an 1 Oak Street, Port
land, that an additional Canadian
Railroad Construction Corps is to be
raised and sent to France immediat-|
ely, and an appeal is made to all
British and Canadian subjects with
railroad experience to offer them
selves tor this branch of the service
immediately.
Special rates of pay are offered to
men with experience as Blockmen,
Shunters, Firemen, Fitters, Drivers,
'Tubers and Blacksmiths, but men
with practically any kind of railroad
experience will be accepted for this
branch of the service.
The Canadian rate of pay is $1.10 a
day, and dependents of marri.'d men
receive a separate allowance of $25
per month, besides an allowance,
where needed, from the British Ore
gon Patriotic fund.
Do not be draf'ed, but enlist im
mediately in the branch of the service
you prefer to serve in.
tcncc of the nation itself, the first
solemn obligation of every man, wo

birth or adoption. Faithful to that ob
ligation Oregon is proud of its con
tribution in men, money, food, lumber
and ships. The entire wealth and all
of the resources of the State have
been placed at the disposal <?f the
Government, and if nominated and
elected, 1 shall accord the nation and
the administration that full and com
plete measure of support and assis

has already exacted.
The people of Oregon have placed
upon the State books certain laws
which, if nominated and elected, 1
shall, with all the power and author
ity of the office of Governor, rigidly
and uncompromisingly enforce. The
spirit of the times and the vital im
portance of state-wide prosecution of
the Government's war activities re
quire that law and order shall prevail.
I shall consider it my sacred duty to
preserve such a condition.
