Political Campaign Labeled Rouah'
By Sam Frear
Emerald Reporter
Today marks the end of the
1964 political campaigns, thought
by /riuny to be the roughen! since
the late 1800‘s. The roughest of
them all is the race for UH sen
ator between Incumbent Guy
Cordon and Democratic chal
lenger, Hichard L. Neuberger.
Thia campaign almoat dwarfs
the others into insignificance,
presumably because thia marks
the first tlm* in over 40 years
thHt the Democrats have had a
chance at the Oregon senatorial
seat.
Republican Senator Cordon,
04, is one of the few men ad
mitted to the bar without attend
ing law school. He first achieved j
political prominence in 1944 j
when Governor Karl Snell ap-!
pointed him to the senate va
cancy caused by the death of
Charles McNary.
In 1948 he was reelected. Dem
ocrats label Cordon a "tool of
the utilities” and attack him as
an isolationist.
Cordon and the Republicans
counter by calling Neuberger, 41.
the Democratic candidate, a
"creeping socialist."
Neuberger i« well known an a
writer, with five novels and many
i tor lea published. Hla political
GUY CORDON
Incumbent Senator
carper began by an election to
the state house in 1840. He was
elected to the state senate in
1948, after being in the service.
Neuberger was re-elected to
the state se nate in 1952.
Although both candidates have
denied using "smear” tactics, the
campaign has attracted national
attention and will undoubtedly
be remembered for years to
come.
The campaign for governor
waged by two University of Ore
gon graduates has been termed,
on comparison to the senatorial
race, a model of "high level"
campaigning.
In this race, Joseph Carson,
Democrat, is opposing incum
bent Governor PauJ Patterson.
Carson is generally associated
with the conservative wing of the
Democratic party while Patter
son is often called a "liberal Re
publican."
Carson, 63, is a graduate of
the University law school in
Portland in 1917. He served in
both world wars and rose to the
rank of lieutenant colonel. He
has served as mayor of Portland
and In 1947 was appointed to the
US maritime commission. In>
1950 Carson resumed his law
practice in Portland.
The present governor, Patter-1
hot), graduated from Oregon in
1923 and the Oregon law school
KICHARI) NEIBERGER
Well-known Writer
in 1926. He has practiced law in
Hillsboro ever since.
Patterson was first elected to
the state senate in 3945. In 1952
he succeeded to the position of
governor, when as president of
the senate, he took over from
Douglas McKay.
In the fourth congressional dis
trict of Oregon a one sided fight
for representative is being waged
by Charles O. Porter, Democrat
ic challenger to the seat now
held by Harris Ellsworth.
In this campaign, all the slug
ging was done by Porter, who
has never had one of his attacks
taken up by Ellsworth.
Ellsworth, 54, is another Uni
versity of Oregon graduate in
the election spotlight. Graduated
in 1922, Ellsworth spent 15 years
as editor of the Roseburg News
Review. He first ran for con
gress in 1942 and is now third
ranking member of the powerful
house rules committee.
Porter, 34, is politically un
known. He is a native of Eugene,
attending high school here be
fore going to Harvard where he
graduated from Harvard college
and Harvard law school. He re
ceived many academic honors in
his university career. Porter now
practices law in Eugene.

Fist Stops Blare
Of SU Juke Box
University students may
have a few days of relief from
the continual blare of the Stu
dent Union juke box which was
temporarily put out of order
Monday afternoon by the arm
of Ben Dorris, freshman in lib
eral arts.
Ray Anthony’s version of
"The Continental" had been
playing for a number of min
utes when the needle stuck,
playing the same bar over and
over. Gary Canova, senior in
sociology, rapped the side of
the juke box. The record played
a few anore bars, then stuck
again. More men tried their
luck but each time the record
only played a few beats.
Finally, Dorris, watched by
the now amused audience,
strolled over to the box, swung,
and sent his fist through the
glass on the side panel of the
box. The record stopped and
Dorris didn’t receive a scratch.
