MR. METSCHAN’S SPEECH
That a candidate for governor, speaking in Vernonia,
should discuss measures for building up the lumber indus­
try is natural, for Vernonia voters are likely to be won by
him who has, or seems to have, the most convincing pro­
gram for restoring the business to its normal level. In
Mr. Metschan’s case, however, there is reason for confi­
dence that his interest is deeper than vote getting. He
is himself financially interested, and has sufficient mo­
tive, other than mere desire for office, to put into effect
what he promises to do.

Now no man, even though he be governor—or even
president—can work miracles. To campaign for Metsehan
or any body else with the idea that his election will of
itself bring prosperity to any given industry is absurd.
Such claims are sometimes made for candidates—witness
the Portland Telegram’s rosiate prophecies from the elec­
tion of a department store proprietor—but nobody at all
informed believes that kind of campaign bunk. A state’s
prosperity rests in no man’s pocket, to be handed forth
at will like a package of cigarettes.
Mr. Metschan’s program, which claims no miracle,
shows evidence of much thought and good judgment: ade­
quate protection against cheap foreign lumber and wood
pulp, such as Russian; a campaign of educating the public
in the advantages of wood as a building material; research
to develop new uses for wood; finding of new markets for
lumber and wood products.
Though not an orator, and certainly no spell-binder,
Mr. Metsehan made a good impression at the Chamber of
Commerce meeting last week because of the common
sense and sincerity of his remarks. Campaign rhetoric,
anyhow, is no proof of executive ability.
