SENATOR M'NARY

TN the appointment OF
~ Judge McNary as senator
to fill the place made va
cant by the death of Senator
Lane, Governor Withycombe
has chosen a man who may be
said to represent the new ele-
ment in republican politics in
Oregon. Judge McNary was
not regarded as active in the
old guard brigade of the state.
His first public recognition
came when he was appointed
to the supreme bench by Gov
ernor West and last fall he
served as chairman of the re-
publican central committee
from Oregon.
Stepping into the senate at
this time Senator McNary has
a G reat opportunity for service.
This is a critical time in the
nations history. 1t is a time
when sincerity, truthfulness
and patriotism are called for
as never before. From congress
the nation needs service, not
partisanship or political pala-
yer of any sort. In Senator
Chamberlain Oregon has a SEN
ator who is rendering distin-
guished service and has be-
come a national figure. Sena-
tor McNary has the congratu-
lations of the East Oregonian
upon his appointment and the
opportunities that are before
him.

answer to the argument of

Icing a reason for deferring
this road work the war is a
reason why it should be taken
up, if we are to accept the
views of men high up in natl
onal life and who should know

The desirability of the bond
ing plan is further emphasized
by the fact that the expense
under bonds will be the same
as the expense to be met if the
