PLAIN BUSINESS talk
If Elected VIII Work For n

Not Play Politics

"There is too much poEties in the
state government and not enough
downright business" declared L. j.
Simpson, republican candidate for gov
ernor in his address lass evening at
the Bligh theater. ''We've got to quit
playing politics if We have a proper
development in Oregon. l can assure
you that if I am elected, l will not
play politics. As to a clean sweep of
the state house, 1 win say that if a
man is in office and is fit, he should
stay there"
Mr.. Simpson pleaded in favor of a
business administration, claiming that
state affairs should be managed as a
business man manages his business. ~
believe Oregon has been asleep and too
provincial. The question is when any
new movement is suggested, what good
is it to me. Oregon must awaken and
east aside all such ~prejudices and po-
hcies. What builds n part OF Oregon
builds the whole state"
He thought Portland should awake
to the fact that state wide develop
ment meant business for Portland and
that Portland capital should help in
building up the industries Of the state.
To the credit of Mr.. Simpson, 1t
may be said that he did not attempt
to do the old political stunt of telling
funny stories to get his audience in a
good humor. He stated plainly what he
stood for and why he thought he should
be elected governor. And what he
stood for was the development of Ore
