With a key platform of Joseph's campaign now directly opposed by the replacement nominee, Julius Meier, Joseph's former law partner, friend, and general manager of the Meier and Frank department store, agreed to enter the race as an independent candidate with Joseph's platform. Although opposed by the state's largest newspaper, The Oregonian,[2] Meier won a resounding victory over Metschan and the Democratic candidate, Ed F. Murphy.[1][3] Meier's victory was viewed as indicating strong public support for public hydropower development.[4]
