NOVEL PLAN IS ADOPTED TO
FINANCE PIERCE CAMPAIGN

Indicating that the Pierce-for- Gov
ernor campaign will be carried di-
rect to the people before the rapidly
oncoming day of election, an adver-
tisement is appearing simultaneously
this week in the newspapers of the
state making a plea for dollar sub
scriptions, on the basis that this
candidate is one of the people and
dependent upon the rest of the peo-
pie to elect him.
The issue now seems to dwell par
ticularly upon reduced taxes and no
hint is given or claim made of party
or partisan affiliations, but a clear
cut deliniation of government for
the people and by the people.
In the matter of campaign ex-
penses it is pointed out that Mr..
Pierce himself is hardly able to
bear the brunt of placing his cause
before the voters of Oregon, and,
unsupported by wealthy and influ-
ential corporations, it has been nee
essary to depend upon the smaller
contributions of those who may
have both a dollar and vote. A
clean campaign is pledged through
out.
