Robert N. Stanfields nomination for United States
Senator in the Republican Primaries, May II, will mean
two things
l. The belief of the people of Oregon that this state has
not received the recognition at Washington to which it Isl
entitled and that there is a demand for a square deal.
2. The Republicans do not want the Democratic boss to
dictate in the Republican primaries and that Republicans
prefer Stanfield, a 1909 Republican, rather than a $3.50
Demo-Rep, dominated by the Democratic Boss.
Do you want a w~ide-awake, energetic man with initia-
tive and red blood to be Senator, or do you want a imam
asleep on the job" who introduces bills and permits them
to sleep in committee?
A man who knows Oregon and its needs and who has
the force and confidence to demand results will quickly
make his mark at Washington and through him Oregon
will receive the recognition so long denied this state.
Such man is Robert N. Stanfield.
S. S. Huston, in withdrawing from the Senatorial con-
test, made the following statement:
Il have a very strong conviction that Oregon has been
Disseminated against by the National Government in
many ways. Mr.. Stanfield shares this feeling and
promises, if elected, to correct it as far as it lies in his
power to do so. Senator McNary denies that any such
discrimination exists. He was quoted in a dispatch from
Washington to the Oregon Journal as saying that he
took no stock in the statement that there had been dis
elimination against Oregon Of course, if he believes
there has been no such discrimination he will make no
effort to remove it.
What has Oregon received except such business as had
to come here because material could not be furnished
elsewhere?
Oregon furnishes spruce, but the airplanes are not
manufactured here.
Oregon has received a few contracts for wooden ships
because the timber is here, but look at the wooden shin
contracts that went to the South and the Atlantic Coast;
and for many of these Southern ships Oregon had to be
drawn on for large timberS.
More than 10000 Oregon boys are in the service, but
they all were sent to environments in other states for
training.
Oregon responded quickly to anpeals for food con-
~servation, but the wheat growers Of Oregon were pen
allied 20 cents a bushel for living in this state.
Many other instances could be cited showing that Ore
con has been Disseminated against hut Mr.. McNary saws
that he takes no stock ihthe statement that Oregon has
been Disseminated against"
Do you want these conditions to continue, or do you
want them remedied? If you want results, then send
Stanfield to Washington.
Five lawyers represent Oregon at Washington. WHY
not elect a farmer, stock-raSer and business man for a
change? Do LAWYERS have a monopoly on all the loyalty.
patriotism, wisdom and knowledge in Oregon?
Why does the Chamber of Commerce pay a snecial
agent a Senatorial salary of $500 a year to remain at
if someone is not Asleep on the job" or if Oregon is not
Disseminated against?
100 PER CENT OR $3.50 PER CENT?
Republican voters should settle their own party affairs
in the primaries without the interference of Democratic
kaiSers.
A clean-cut party issue is presented to the Republicans
of Oregon. 1t is in the hands of the Republicans, them
selves, whether they want a Republican Senator or a
demo- Rep. Senator. IN
Stanfield is 100 per cent Republican and has been
elected as such three times to the Legislature.
McNary, his opponent, has a p~enchant for holding Of
flee, but has never yet been elected to one by the people
in fact, he was defeated the only time the people ever got
a chance to vote on him--and he has been willing to seek
appointment to political jobs from Democrats as
Republicans.
