Ed. Wright of Union County, Repub-
lican candidate for Public Service
Commissioner.
Some of the reasons why he should
expect Republican votes at the coming
primaries:
ga bona fde and continuing residence
in eastern Oregon for 38 years. Born
in Union county,.
A record for honest. conscientious
and efficient service IN public Office.
A consistent Republican.
A reputation for good judgment, fair
ness and honesty.
A invitation to the public to investi-
gate by reference to any reputable far
mer, banker, merchant, or other busi-
ness or professional man in Union
county.
What the home papers say:
| La Grande Evening Observer: Ed
Wright's candidacy for Public service
Commissioner is growing every day and
apparently he will be named at the
May primaries by large majority.
This is as it should be for MIR. Wright
has demonstrated by his faithful work
in Union county his extraordinary abil-
ity for the position that he seeks. Al
though not admitted to the bar he
knows more law than great many
practicing attorneys; he comes from
pioneer stock: has held responsible
positions for many years and has al
ways made good to the people in ev-
cry trust. He is at the right Sge to
take up the work of Public Service
Commissioner. which is the most i'm
portant job to business in the state,
and he is going to win because the
general public views his capabilities
much as do the people of Union county
where he was born and raised.
Eastern Oregon Republican: Prob
ably no more competent man for the
office of Public Service Commissioner
for the eastern Oregon district will be
named than Ed Wright, who is asking
the Republican nomination for that
office. A long experience in public
affairs, a knowledge of law and taste
for business of public nature, quail
fies Mr.. Wright for thu. ..place to which
he aspires. Many friends see in Mr..
Wright the embodiment of thorough
and conscientious service.
Elgin Recorder: Public Service Com
missioner. In another column of this
issue is the announcement of Ed Wright
for the above named Office. His an
nouncement comes too late for any ex-
tended comment this week, but we pre-
dict he will receive the largest vote
for this Office Union county has ever
yet given him. and he has received
some mighty big votes in the past.
