CLEAR-CUT ISSUE
By Charles V Stanton
Selecting Mate '.undulates at the forthcoming general
election, voters of Douglas county will have a clear-cut is
sue as basin for decision. The issue is socialism versus c-on-
aervatism. Thi icsue is clearly defined in contests for U. S.
senator, congressman and governor.
' As candidates for U. S. senator we have Wayne Morse,
incumbent, a socialist-republican; Howard Latourette, a
conservative-democrat, and Harlin Talbert, listed as a pro-
gressive.
' For congressman, Harris Ellsworth, republican incum
.' bent, is opposed by David C. Shaw, socialist-democrat.
Governor Douglas McKay, republican, is opposed for
reelection by Austin F. Flcgcl, socialist-democrat.
' . In these three contests avowals by candidates leave no
, question to be determined by the voters other than that of
socialism versus conservatism. The outcome will furnish
an interesting measure of the
of the State of Oregon
' Another contested state
labor, in which William K. Kimsey, republican, and How
ard Morgan, democrat, are candidates.
County Officers To Bt Chosen
Douglas county voters will elect two representatives, a
district attorney, county judge, commissioner and assessor.
Democratic candidates
legislature represent both the conservative and socialistic
trends, V. T. Jackson, former sheriff, having declared his
opposition to the socialistic leanings of the democratic
party, while Sidney Leiken's candidacy was sponsored by
the oppisite camp. Republican candidates are Paul Ced
des, incumbent, who was an outstanding representative at
the last session, and Russell J. Hubbard, former resident
of Reedsport, now residing at Sutherlin.
For district attorney, Robert G. Davis, incumbent, re
publican, received both the republican and democratic nom
inations (the latter by write-ins) at the primary election. He
is opposed by Gerald 0. Kabler, who filed as an independ
ent following the primary election.
Carl C. Hill, republican candidate for county judge, is
opposed by Howard E. Cracroft, democrat. Hill is a for
mer representative from Douglas county to the state legisla
ture and at present is chairman of the State Game commis
sion. Lynn V. Beckley, republican Incumbent, is opposed for
reelection to the office of county commissioner by R. D.
Williams, democrat
Ned Dixon, republican, now serving as county asses
sor, has as his democratic opponent, J. M. Morgan.
Nine Measures On Ballot
Voters will be required to pass on nine initiative and
' referendum measures.
Four !ave been referred to the people by the legisla
ture. One proposes an annual salary of ?600 for members
of the state legislature, replacing the present per diem
method of compensation. Another would loan the state's
credit for construction of self
for purposes of higher education. The measur is designed
id save a cons'dcrat.le sum in interest charges. J nirrt is
a measure to increase the fund for loans to Oregon war
veterans for purchase of homes and farms. Fourth is the
basic school support measure, known as the "Children's
Bill," which would inrrease state contribution from $30 to
$80 per student in support of schools.
Two bills passed by the last legislature have been re
ferred to the people by petition. One is the public assist
ance act, drawn by the legislature to replace the Dunne
bill previously passed by the people and declared innpera
tie by the attorney general. The other is a bill fixing
standard time for Oregon, permitting daylight saving time
only in emergency.
Three measures are proposed by initiative petition. One
would prov cle a bonus to Oregon w ar veterans, the second
would authorize reapportionment of the legislature, the
third would prohibit sale of alcoholic beverages if "pro
motive!)'" advertised.
