o
Oregon's Bellwether County Still
Doesn't Know Which Way It Will
Vote To Decide New President
DEATHS
bellwether county does not yet
know which way it will go on
Nov. 8.
That is the opinion of political
observers trying to decide which
way Crook County and the United
States will vote for president at
the general election.
Crook County voters have al
wayssince the county was form
ed 78 years ago voted with the
winning presidential candidate.
Seven other counties in the
United State two in New Hamp
shire, two in Iowa, two in Wyo
ming and one in Indiana have
ine same record.
But if Crook County is going to
help point the way this year, the
direction it is pointing is not yet
clear.
"It is awfully close and there is
no certain trend," says E. A. Don
nelly, editor of the Central Ore
gonian. "Sentiment just doesn't
seem to have jelled yet."
He said he doubted anyone could
tell until perhaps a week before
the election. About that time
Crook County High School is going
to take a straw vote. That, says
Donnelly, will come close to tell
ing how the adults will vote.
Cecil M. Sly, school superin
tendent, says he can't guess how
the school vote will turn out. Senti
ment now, he says, seems "pretty
evenly mixed."
There is one tiling sure, though,
Sly says: The youngsters are not
likely to be influenced heavily by
religion. "The kids are much more
against bringing in religion than
their parents are," says Sly.

Beaver Creek FFA
Youth Wins Award
KANSAS CITY (AP) Dennis H.
Wood of Beaver Creek, Ore.,;
brought the national Future
Farmers of America public
speaking championship to the
Pacific Northwest for the third
straight year.
Wood, who is 17, won the top
cash prize of $250 for a speech
entitled "Your Future in a Grow
ing America."
Adin Hester of Canby, Ore., won
the title in 19S8 and Phil Rous
seau of Tacoma won last year.
Wood, whose parents are Mr.
and Mrs. H. L. Wood, has been
outstandine in F.F.A. work in Ore
gon and at Molalla High School
where he was graduated this year.
He was elected president of the
Oregon F.F.A. at Pendleton last
March. He also was chairman of
the Molalla parliamentary proce
dure team, which won first place
at the state F.F.A. convention. In
high school he held numerous stu
dent offices and played on the
baseball team.
Roman Catholicism is going to be
a major xactor in tne decision here
in November is uncertain. Some
seem reluctant to say it wilt be a
factor at all; others say it will
cut sharply into Kennedy support.
Democrats lead Repubicans in
registration 277S to 1732. but this
does not mean the Democratic
candidate would normally be out
iu ironi.
"The people of the county are
not strong party members," says
Sly. Donnelly agrees thev tend to
look more at the candidate than
at his label. The strong Democrat
ic coloration is strengthened by
the regional background of large
numbers of the residents, who
came from Oklahoma.
The Hudsoeth familv with Its
widespread ranching and lumber
ing operations is from Oklahoma
and it attracted many from there.
The county's population is 9375
and of these 3236 live in Prineville.
tne county's onlv incorDorated
city. Donnelly says 7500 live in or
right adjacent to the town and
worK in the several sawmills and
related industries. Farming and
cattle ranching in the county of
2980 square miles, occupy the rest
of the Deonle.
The county was formed in 1882
and quickly showed its independ
ence. It backed Grover Cleveland
in 1892 while the rest of the state
supported William Henry Harri-
son. It went to Woodrow Wilson
in 1916, contrary to the rest of
the state which supported Charles
Evans Hughes. And of more re
cent memory, it sided with Harrv
Truman in 1948, the year Oregon's
electors were lor Thomas E.
Dewey.
Where it will go this year is. at
the moment, anybody's euess. The
people don't seem to have their
minds made up, says Donnelly.
