Portland, Oregon, April 20, Is.
To the Republican Voters of Or
egon.
We, the undersigned, all for
merly Progressivcs and now reg
istered Republicans, wish to add
our endorsement to the candidacy
of Ralph +. Williams. of Port.
land. for reelection on May II
to the position of Republican
National Committeeman. We
endorse his candidacy for the
following definite reasons:
In the first place. if Mr.. vii.
liams had not invited and en-
couraged the Pogressives TO join
with the Republicans of this
State in 1916, there would have
been no active cooperation be-
tween the two forces and Ore.
gon would undoubtedly have
been lost TO the Republican
cause. Mr.. Williams advocated
The adoption by the Republican
National Committee of similar
program Of amalgamation and
cooperative action I'm other
States. If his suggestions con.
cerning California and Washing
ton had been followed, those two
states would also have been
found in the Republican column
after the national election.
Mr.. Williams attitude of
friendliness toward Col. Roose.
velt is generally known to Re
publican leaders throughout the
Country and State. The same
spirit of unity which Mr.. viii
iams was so largely instrumen-
tai in etrecting in Oregon in

Catholic Soldier Confesses
Through French Interpreter

: You can get any opinion you want
on the religious work of the Y. n. C.
A. in France.
It is overdone, It Is underdone, It
isn't done at all: it is marrow. It is
bigoted. 1t is too generously broad:
1t is stiff, it lie highty-tighty, II isn't
churchike; there Is no singing worth
speaking of. and why don't you have
something besides hymns? And any
one of these opinions can :be defended,
first by the character OF the person
voicing it. and second, by reference
to the place visited by the critic.
But here's . Little tncideht that
happened the other day which tells
the whole story Of the religious work
Of the 7. II. G. A. in.Framce: -
An American lad with nerves shat
tered by what he had seem at the
front, was going ont Of his mind.
He had had the experience before,
: and was In an agnny Of anticipation.
He was Catholic, and, as such,
most anxious to confess. He could
not speak French and the only avafl-
able priest could not speak English.
'Is there anyone here VINO can
speak French" inquired the priest.
The Y. d. G. A. Woman running the
hotel knew the language. So the
three retired into q QuAee room, and
the American soldier confessed his
sins, through q Protestant woman to
Catholic priest, In q Y. II. c. A.
hut in France.
