FAVORITE SON
Solon Expects Demos
To Name Morse Veep
MEDFORD (AP)—State Sen
ator Mark Hatfield of Salem said
Tuesday he expects Oregon Dem
ocrats to attempt to nominate
Senator Wayne Morse as a vice
presidential candidate, to run
with Adlai Stevenson in the 1956
presidential campaign.
Hatfield told the Jackson
County Republican women that
those two would be "formidable
foes to our Republican Party."
Hatfield said he expected How
ard Morgan, Democratic state
chairman, to nominate Morse for
vice president as a "favorite son
candidate.”
Cursing Won't Get Votes
The Salem senator advised "the
only route to success in 1956 for
the Republican Party is to do a
good job in 1955, and cursing
of the opposition will get no
votes.”
He urged Republicans to -get
the accomplishments of this ad
ministration to the far corners
of the nation,” or else fall vic
tims of “a propaganda mill which
has branch offices in Washing
ton, D.C., Monmouth and Mil
waukle.” Monroe Sweetland,
Democratic national committee
man, lives in Milwaukie. Morgan
lives at Monmouth.
Ike First in Hearts
Speaking on Washington’s
birthday, Hatfield said President
Eisenhower is “every bit as much
first in the hearts of his coun
trymen as that presidential-gen
eral in our founding days.”
He said the support given the
President's program by the Dem
ocrats reflects credit both on the
President and the Democrats.
