newspapers attacked the sheriff
action in editorials.
Saturday the sheriff filed
$500,000 libel suit against the
Oregonian. That was not based
on its editorial attack, however,
but on a columnist s report ad
mittedly incorrect that Elliott
was seen partying during office
hours. The columnist retracted
the statement next day, explain.
ing it was another man who look
ed like the sheriff.
Elliott Defended
Defending the sheriff, Demo
cratic official uranet declared
that "there is no justified rea
son for a recall. Sheriff Elliott
has been trying to run his of
fice efficiently in the brief time
he has held it, and he has done
a very good job. He has saved
tne taxpayers $29,uuo in the
1949-50 budget. Since he has been
sheriff he has put the deputies
on a 4inour-weeK, something
Sheriff Martin Pratt (Elliott'
Republican predecessor) never
would do.
Granet said the "newspapers
nave actually persecuted mm
and declared that "until Ineffl
ciency and corruption in Elliott'!
office are proved to us, we are
going to support mm."
A statement issued by the ex
ecutive board of the Young Re
publicans when the recall action
was announced said: "the Young
Kepuoncans favor a prompt re
call for the reasons that the
sheriff misrepresented his quali
fications to the voting public and
that his behavior in office fails
far short of the requisite need
ed for an office of trust and
confidence.
"The Young Republicans invite
other groups and individuals to
work with them in a non-partisan
effort in recalling Mike El
liott and restoring confidence in
the onice of the Multnomah
County sheriff."
The last successful recall of a
county officer was in May, 1924,
when the entire three-man coun
ty board of commissioners was
ousted after being accused of
malfeasance In awarding con
tracts for the Burnside Street
bridge over the Willamette River,
One city commissioner was re
called in May, 1932, .but a re
call against Mayor G. L. Baker
at the same time failed.
