i TWO M AHONEYS. .
j (Klamath Falls Herald-News.)
j There are two Mahoneys in
volved in Oregon politics, and
some newcomers and casual fol
lowers of political news seem to
be gpetting them confused.
Willis E. Mahoney, former
Klamath Falls mayor, is the dem
ocratic nominee for the short
term United States senate posi
tion. Mahoney, although he
claims Klamath Falls as his resi
dence, has lived for a number of
years in Washington, D. C, and
operates a private business there.
Thomas Mahoney of Portland
lias been in the state legislature
a number of years, and currently
t is the chairman of the Oregon
delegation to the democratic na
tional convention.
Both Mahoneys are strongly lo-litlcally-minded,
as is apparent.
No love is lost between them, we
are told, and it was rumored last
spring that Thomas Mahoney of
Portland might come out against
Willis Mahoney for the senatorial
nomination, if for no other reason
than to confuse the situation by
name duplication.
e
This brings us to a bit of po
litical reminiscence.
When, in 1932, Willis Mahoney
ran for mayor of Klamath Falls,
he was forced off the ballot be
cause he had lived here less than
one year, and came out as a
write-In candidate.
This involved quite? a cam

year, and the return Indicated

loney.
Some people told Mahoney af
ter the election that they thought
his name was ruled off the ballot,
but had found it there and voted
for him.
Mahoney, lncdletitnlly, got a

of a streama veritable torrent, in fact.
Stalwart political ballyhooers keynoting the democratic
convention, bluntly credited the New Deal party with
forcing the removal of the Japanese dictator, but we have
a sneaking suspicion that Admirals Niniilz, llalsey and
Spruance have had some influence on the decision of the
sun-god emperor to find himself a new cabinet, and that
General MacArthur, whom the New Deal has tried unsuc
cessfully to relegate to an obscure role, also has figured
prominently in the causes for the Japanese shake-up.
It would be surprising indeed if the New Deal leadership,
as a matter of political expediency, failed to take advantage
of the opportunity to steal credit for the Japanese cabinet
change. (The republicans would have done the same had
they been in power. Politicians do not overlook anything
that may gain votes.) But we must not be mi.sled by cam
paign oratory. The full glory for the change in Japanese
military and political leadership belongs to those boys who
have battled so bravely at Guadalcanal, New Guinea, Tara
wa, Biak, Saipan and all the other island points furnishing
stepping stones to Tokyo. Our own boys from Douglas
county are in that fight and we have every reason to be
proud of their achievements

China fought doggedly today
to hold Hengyang. Enemy rein

its climax. The Chinese said
their troops broke through the
Hengyang besieger's and that an
other force was driving against
Chengshan, Jap headquarters in
Hunan province.
Chungking said relief appear
ed in sight for the Hengyang gar

Wadsworth One
With Dewey On
Postwar Power
ALBANY, N. Y-, July 19 (AP)
Rep. James W. Wadsworth,
Jr., co-author of the selective ser
vice act, said today that he and
Governor Dewey are "in agree
ment" that what he termed the
weakening of United States mili
tary strength after world war 1
"should not happen again."
Wadsworth, an overnight guest
of the republican presidential
nominee, told reporters they "dis
cussed generally having this
country made strong and kept
strong after the war."
Asked the trend of their con
versation, Wadsworth, former
chairman of the senate military
affairs committee, said it was
"by contrast with 1920-22 when
we sank our navy, cut our army
down and promised Japan we
would not fortify some Pacific
islands."
"The governor and I are in
agreement that sort of thing
should not happen again," Wads
worth asserted.
Declaring their talk included
discussion of post-war military
bases and many other subjects
Involving security, Wadsworth
said he and Dewey covered gen
erally what he termed "the high
desirability of maintaining our
military strength so as to be not
only secure but influential."
Meantime the pattern of Gov
ernor Dewey's "front veranda"
summer campaign to seat himself
in the White House appeared to
hinge on party organization.
Observers of the republican
presidential nominee's political
methods said it had become ap
parent the 42-year-old governor
was laying the foundation of his
election drive on the time-tested
formula of state and local party
teamwork.
They based their conclusions
on Dewey's almost uninterrupted
post-convention series of huddles
with G. O. P. congressional lead
ers. By SUSAN.
Goodness gracious. Did you
ever try to settle down to work
with a political convention goinj.;
great guns in both ears? Well,
our very best advice to you is not
to try it, because it's practically
impossible. Anyway, now it's
Friday tonight at 6:15 you'll

Test. If you like him, why not
write in and say so? It would be
a nice gesture in return for all
the entertainment he has given

"There is in one state I know of, Steve.
