ROBERT N. 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.
