What’s the Matter with

It is likely that the Food Adminis­
tration will make good its purpose to

ing for the appellation of that eatable
concoction the term “Liberty Gab-

The marvelous extent to which
Great Britian is organized for war is
disclosed in a striking manner in the
address of Winston Spencer Church-
hcill, British minister of munitions, to
the house of commons. The combined
losses and consumption of munitions
in the great battle under way in
France
have
been
tremendous,
amounting to something between one
and three weeks total of manufacture.
This is practically significant in view
of the fact that the offensive has now
been going on for a little more than
a month. In spite of tremendous con­
sumption during the past month,
Minster Churchill told the house it
did not exceed the maximum poten­
tial capacity of the British factories
without touching enormous reserves
which had been accumulated against
just such a contingency. Barring some
unforseen circumstances, he said, the
British supply of munitions will make
it possible to carry on a battle at the
supreme pitch of intensity until next
winter without compromising require­
ments for 1919. —Oregon Register.
ROBERT N. STANFIELD
Republican for United States Senator
“ I have a very strong conviction that Oregon has been dis­
criminated aganst by the National Government in many ways.
Mr. Stanfield shares this feeling and promises, if elected, to
correct it as far as it lies in his power to do so. Senator McNary
denies that any such discrimination exists. He was quoted in a
dispatch from W ashington to the Oregon Journal as saying that
he took no stock in the statement that there had been discrim­
ination against Oregon. Of course, if he believes there has been
no such discrimination he will make no effort to remove it.—S.
B. Huston, who withdrew from the Senatorial contest and is
supporting Stanfield.
Why do the Telegram and Journal complain that Seattle is
always taking payrolls away from Portland and then attack
Stanfield because he has built up an industry which benefits
Oregon and Portland, creates a payroll and adds thousands of
dollars t* the tax list? Why has Portland lost so much to Seat­
tle—is it because there are elements in Portland always ready to
knock anyone who tries to help the community?
Five lawyers comprise the Oregon delegation at Washing­
ton; there has not been a business man, farmer, or toiler in the
delegation in a generation.
Why has the Chamber of Commerce felt it necessary to hire
special representative at a senator's salary of $75°° a year to
look after Oregon’s interests?
Stanfield never represented a corporation at Salem. Stanfield
is no man’s man.
Stanfield will not be dictated to and controlled by a political
boss, by corporations or newspapers, but he will serve all tin
people of his state, playing no favorites and giving a square deal.
No one has ever said that Bob Stanfield is a double-crosses,
or that he is selfish or not liberal with his resources or his
friendship. There isn’t a lazy bone in his body. He has been a
toiler all his life and never had a cushy job.
Raised on the range, he is no silk-stocking. Stanfield has
built up from nothing through constructive labor until today he
is one of the genuine assets of Oregon. He did not marij 11s
money, nor did he inherit it—he worked for it.
Republicans know that Stanfield is too per cent Republican.
He is not a 50-50 Demo-Rep.

“1 am in favor of amending the
draft law so that we can raise an
army of five or six million men in
two years” said Mr. Taft in an ad-
dress at Boston last week, “We can
get this number of men in two years
he continued. “We can get the ships
to send them over. This is to be a
three years war, two in which to send
our boys across and a year to win the
war. W e cannot make omelctts with­

The war department now says that
very large quotas will be required in
the immediate future to fill the gaps.”

Red Cross Dance at Rockaway,
The Red Cross of Rockaway went
“over the top”, both as to financial
and social results of the entertain-
ment and dance given in the dancing
pavillion here Saturday night, it being

tainments, of which there have been
many during the recent months past.
1 Music and dancing occupied the even-

I a fine lunch was served to the 200 or
more present. The ladies of the Red
Cross, who provided everything for
1 the lunch, supplied so liberally of the

Because United States Senator Charles L. McNary has made
good lie should be nominated to succeed himself in the Republi­
can Primary, May 17th.
From the day he became Senator he has loyally championed
the prosecution of the war, and during his term of office has
accomplished more for Oregon than any other member in Con­
gress in a like period.
Among his colleagues he is known as “the man on the job,”
and during the present war crisis Oregon should consider itself
fortunate in having an opportunity to return him and not be
compelled to send to Washington, a new, untrained man.
Believing that the supreme obligation he owes his country
is to help win the war, Senator McNary, instead of returning to
his state to conduct a political campaign, is at his post in Wash­
ington working lor Oregon and aiding in the prosecution of the
war.
Always since entering the Senate he has been a friend of
our soldiers and sailors and has introduced legislation giving
them preferential homestead rights and repeatedly championed
their cause when their welfare was in jeopardy.
Championing the cause of the Oregon farmers, Senator Mc­
Nary procured for them a primary wheat market, saving there­
by several million dollars to the wheat growers of the North-
wast.
Realizing the present Food Control Law failes to fix prices
for many commodities, Senator McNary has introduced, and is
laboring for the passage of a bill, striking at profiteering and
fixing prices on the necessaries of life.
. ,
.Senator McNary has procured:
Government contracts for the first time in the State’s his­
tory for Oregon products, such as prunes, dehydrated potatoes
and vegetables in large quantities.
Large contracts for army clothing and shipbuilding yards
and the lumber industry.
He procured space on British ships for the shipment of con­
densed milk ami cream from Or< gon condcnscrics, whereby the
disaster which threatened this industry, through inability to get
its products to market, was averted.
T
•
Senator McNary is working:
For prompt payment of allotments to dependent relatives of
our soldiers and sailors.
For the construction of a coast
Military
Highway
Government expense.
For a comprehensive plan for the utilization of Oregon’s
water power resources.
Senator McNary was born on a farm in Oregon; reared in
the Baptist Church; cducatedin the public schools, worked his
way through Stanford University; is a lawyer and farmer and
has been a life long’Republican. He was formerly a justice on
the Supreme Court and later chairman of the State Republican
Central Committee.
Space forbids further enumeration of the vast amount of
work Senator McNary has done for Oregon, but anyone will
realize from the foregoing that the Senator has displayed truly
remarkable ability, coupled with extraordinary diligence and
energy. His native state can best show its appreciation of his
faithful and efficient services by nominating and electing him.
