cause by his manner he impressed
them with the fact that he is big
enough for the position he seeks. He
did not indulge In the cheap tricks of
the politician aud his frankness In
placing his candidacy before the vot-
ers was the sesame which opened the
way Tor the consideration OF his plat
form
Those who knew before he came
that he was Louis ]. Simpson of
Coos Bay. the successful lumber and
shipping man, we're not surprised IN
hnding evidence in his manner OF the
successful business man with
broad and comprehensive grasp OF
oregon's problems, but they were
surprised that he had the ability 10

OF the trained orator.
This, however. is the outcome Of
months of public speaking in behalf
or the Red Cross aud the Liberty
Loans, for until he undertook such
public service, after retiring from
active business, MIR, Simpson had
never INDUCED in public speaking.
He spent his time In the manage
ment OF the Simpson lumber and
shipping business, and that was no
small job. All the time, too, he was
working for the upbuilding of that
rich section OF Coos BAY. particularly
In the Advancement of Marshfield. a
city which stands as monument to-
his ability as an orranizer and ex-

In view OF the record Mr., simpson
