Because United States Senator
Charles l.. McNary has made good
he should be nominated to succeed
himself in the Republican Primary,
May 18th.
From the day he became Senator
he has Loyalty championed the pro-
secution of the war, and during his
term of Office has accomplished more
for Oregon than any other member
of Congress in like period.
Among his colleagues he is known
as 1.-The man on the job" and during
the present war crisis Oregon should
consider itself fortunate in having
an opportunity to return him and not
be compelled to send to Washing
ton, a new, unframed man.
Believing that the supreme obli-
cation he owes his country is to help
win the war, Senator McNary, in
stead of returning to his state to
conduct political campaign, is at
his post in Washington working for
Oregon and aiding in the prosecution
of the war.
Always since enering the Senate

and has introduced legislation CIV
ing them preferential homestead
rights and repeatedly championed
their cause when their welfare was
In jeopardy.
Championing the cause of the
Oregon Farmers, Senator McNary
procured for them a primary wheat
market, saving thereby several mil
lion dollars to the wheatgrowers Off
the Northwest.

rol Law fails to fix prices for many
commodities, Senator McNary has
introduced, and is laboring for the
passage of bill, striking at profit
eering and fixing prices on the ne
cessaries of life. '.

Space forbids further enumeration
of the vast amount of work Senator
McNary has done for Oregon, but
anyone will realize from the forego-
ing the Senator has displayed truly
ability. coupled with eX-
diligence and energy.
His native State can best show its
