STANTON wun otassen ana Dewey in Oregon, which takes the tTriit. it contest pending the forthcoming primary election, and with McKay taking the wraps interest in political affairs Candidates have been complaining that the public was showing little interest in editor to quip that some of Perhaps no election of recent years has commanded as little advance attention as the May 21. People generally have selves over political affairs. and the few people who take matter of habit, voters have anticipate that great numbers of voters have simply been waiting until nearer election and select their candidates. spirit from the number of tion. During recent days we find requests for information becoming more and more frequent, indicating that voters are just beginning to interest progresses this interest doubtless will grow and we will wind up with a large turnout The total vote doubtless will be better than might be ex pected otherwise because of Oregon's spot in the national picture. Oregon's importance is evidenced by the effort thrown into the campaign by who will stump the state electioneering tours. Political observers are quite it is "do or die" for Dewey in Oregon. Entering the race nationally as the favored candidate, Dewey has been losing ground rapidly to the young "upstart" from Minnesota, who has dared defy the professional political leadership of the Republican party and carry his candidacy directly to the people. A Stassen victory in Oregon, coupled with his previous wins, would probably result in the shelving of Dewey as the Republican candidate and the introduction of a "dark horse" by the professional politicians in an effort to beat Stassen in the convention. It is interesting to note Oregon-is picking up momentum through efforts of hun dreds of young men and women who have had no active part previously in political affairs, while the Dowey cam paign is quite largely in the hands of older and more ex perienced political workers. - While the presidential issue attention, wo expect the gubernatorial race to become quite warm before Election Day rolls around. Senator Douglas McKay, who is believed to have the best chance to beat Governor Hall, has started the fireworks with his radio talks and public addresses assailing Hall's record in the state legislature on issues of gambling and liquor control. Commenting on this Btibject, Oregon governor, editor of said recently: McKay put his finger squarely on the issue of this cam palgn: "a drift toward a wide open state." Two of his opponents favor liberalizing the sale of alcohollo liquors, which means virtually the return of the saloon. Governor Hall makes no such pronouncement In his platform but his legislative) record olosely Identifies him with the liquor-slot machlne-booklo-gambllng Interests. MoKay, while no re former, has consistently stood for measures to conserve publlo morals against the greed of commercial Interests. On the other hand, Hall supporters point to the fact that as governor his job would be he was in the legislature whore the laws are made. As an executive and administrative ability during the brief period death of tho late Earl Snell. membership in a legal firm which represented some of the principal night club operators of the state would not influ ence his service as governor. The issue also will bring to Hall's support a large number of people who point to Ore gon's "hypocritical" treatmont of gambling, and who believe in liberalization of the state's liquor laws. Supporters of Ackerman, nomination, are hoping the on gambling and liquor issues to slip in. Ackerman's platform one, offend no one and promise everything, while claiming support from organized labor. John Peyton appears to bo 'Great Profile" as practiced business in Roseburg some years ago.

But everywhere the Dewey turn out reflected Oregon lntrest In the New Yorker's gloves-off elec tioneering. At Salem, the crowds overflowed the broad Capitol steps onto lawns and street. In his address here, site of Oregon State College, Dewey warned of dangers of a world food shortage, the Impending de ficit in farmland from erosion. and increasing population. wages rooa program "The handwriting- is on the wall, and, next to the problem of war and peace itself." he said, "there la no more urgent matter before the next national administration than the formula tion of a dynamic, lon?-term food and farm program which will preserve what we consider the American birthright three square meals a day, with a fair return to the men and women, the farm families, who produce me iooa. Of price parity for agricultural goods, Dewev said "I Dersonallv have long been committed to the firm-belief that agriculture must do maintained on a Dar with other elements of our population." And an important job for tho next congress will be to modern ize our present parity formulas to provme a true measure be tween farm prices and farm costs. "This should include considera tion of the cost of hired farm labor. 'In modernizing parity we hould also aim at a Drocram which will correct the present alarming decrease In our flocks nrt herds to provide us with the strongest possible animal agricul turn, as well as protect our basic production of cereals and fruits and vegetables.

Cooperative dividends, or re funds, should not be taxed, he added. It Is not fair In principle, because It constitutes double-taxation "these refunds become In come to the farmer-member and are taxable as such." New Regime Needed At Salem, Governor Dewey said: "we need as we never need ed before, a government which understands what freedom means," Dewey said. "All through the war and ever since, our government has made compromises with Communism. As a result, no one knows the policy of our government, and that is the most terrible calamity that can happen 1o the world." Dewey said that "what this country needs is snritual leader ship. We need a national admini stration wihch understands the nature of the problem, that we have a peace crisis, and not a war crisis. lie demanded that money for Kuroxan recovery be spent wise ly, ami that the countries re ceiving it "unite for peace, tear down tariff barriers, and arm themselves." Dewey suggested that they or ganize themselves into a United States of Europe, becoming "so big and so strong that no na tion would dare start another war." He also spoke In behalf of federal power, navigation and flood control projects In the west, and again declared that the Com munist party should not bo out lawed.
