The Advocate hopes the business houses will make a thorough investigation of this man and his repre– sentations before giving him any mon– ey because it appears after investiga· tion that neither of the two Metho– dist churches in Portland have any member by that name nor have they authorized any one to go out and so– licit funds for their mission work . -·-··- -·-·-·- -·-- -·-·- t AUSPLUND DRUG STORE SIXTH & GLIS.llf BTBDTI PO&TLAlm, OU. ceremonies. -·- Relative Dies In Colo.

His coming to Portland is is that we are politically importnat. greeted with great enthusiasm. Prove it by getting out a loo per cent Negro vote. Just to show how easy it is to stand in with the courts, I find this item il– luminiating. In an exchange of April 19 the story is told of a process server who went in to see a Federal Judge for a summons on an Electric Bond Company. "I am sorry but I hold stock in that concern and do not feel at liberty to act in the matter." Said the noble judge. "May it 'Please the court," said the server. "I would be gratified if the court could direct me to some federal judge who is not similiarly dis– qualified. I have already been refused by four judges for the same reason. Is there any federal judge who does not hold such stock?" Reply is not recorded. All of which reminds me that some of those judges who have no opposi– tion on the republican ticket should not sleep too soundly. Their records are making enough noise to keep some of us voters awake.

Eor Nat'I.Committeeman Ralph Williams, Republican Nation– al Committeeman, is asking the vot– ers to return him to that responsible Ralph Williams pos1t1on. Mr. Williams was elected Republican National Committeeman in 1908 by the delegates to the National Convention; reelected by the people in 1912 and has served as a member of the Executive Committee ever since. During his twenty-two years of activi– ty on the Committee, Mr. Williams bears the record of never having mis– sed a single meeting of the Executive Committee or a meeting of the Re– publican National Committee. He has worked in harmony with the State Central Committee in Oregon, and with our Senators and Congressman. He has striven at all times to promote the best interests of the State of Ore– gon, the Pacific Northwest and the entire United States. It should be remembered that Mr. Williams has made this record without a cent of expense being allowed by the State Committee or the National Commit– tee for travelling and other costs. It is hoped that the voters will express their appreciation for the r e c or d of unselfish service for the party and for our country of Mr. WJlliams by voting to return him to the office at the primary election May 16. ----0--- REV.
