STANFIELD Farmer, Stock Raiser and Producer Believing that the Republican voters of the State of Oregon would not look with favor upon Oswald West naming the Sen- torial candidate for the Republican party. And inasmuch as 1 have received many thousands of letters and other assurance from the Republican voters assuring me of their support, 1 must respectfully decline the proposal of Mr. West that all other candidates withdraw and give a clear field to C. L. McNary. I feel that I have the confidence of the Republican voters and the people of this great state that I will serve them honest ly and efficiently as a Senator and at this critical time they arc inclined to support a man front the business walks of life. Oswald West has heretofore asserted that he only desired to be a candidate that lie might oppose me if T should be suc- Cessful in defeating McNary in the primaries. His interference i: intolerable to me, as I believe ii is to the Republican voters of the state, and I will welcome the oppor- tunity to oppose him in the general election if he should be suc cessful in defeating his Democratic opponent, Mr. King.” R. N. Stanfield. Mr. Stanfield makes the above reply to the proposal of Os wald West that all candidates for senator withdraw in favor of Mr. West’s candidate. The whole activity of the Democratic ma chine is attempting to stem the tide of dissatisfaction against their candidate now in the senate is laid bare in this last supreme attempt of Mr. West to bolster up a forlone hope. The question is, do the people and the Republicans want this sort of bossism in Oregon, or do they want too per cent Americans and 100 per cent Republicans, such as Mr. Stanfield, a successful, energetic, patriotic self-made man whose every act has added to the progress and growth of Oregon, a man who gets results, accomplishes something, who has worked and know-, how to work and who will work. Which do you want? A man who can stand on his own feet, or one who cannot? Stanfield is 100 per cent American and too per cent Repub lican and he would support the President in winning the war.
