"The Republican party is the whole of conser

changed it. Lively said
COP state Chairman Craig Berkrnan is one of
the men the OCA blames lor allowing this
change, and Berkrnan was one of those responsi

The word is that Berkinun ts committed to

li-i! Lewis, who is working with Tate, said the
OCA has 26H supporters running for precinct
committee seats, while tfie moderates have a little
more than 100
To defeat the (X.A advantage, Tate arid Lewis
are planning on writing letters to registered Re
publicans identifying which precinct candidates
are (X;A-affiliated
The letters may suggest some write-in candi
dates if there is no moderate running against an
(X A member in a ( ertain precinct. Lew is said
If we can get enough people to understand
is fin ii candidates are moderates and which are
conservative, then we will win,'' Tate said
Hut some (X A memiiers alreadv have plans to

It IS evident that a third political party is going
to he formed," Mobley said "livery time we work
within the party it seems more interested in bat
tling conservatives in their own party than Demo
crats, "
(XiA members have reserved a building at the
st.ite fairgrounds in Salem on June LI, and a deci
sion will he made at that time whether to break
with the party, Mobley said
The key fai tor In forming a new party will tie
whether tile (>OH lias made an effort to adopt .1
more conservative platform, ho said
"We may fie beyond healing the wounds,"
Mobley said "We’ve tried for four years to deal
with tile moderate republicans, but all they've
done is bash 1 onscrvatlvcs
Mobley said if the (X does form a third party,
he may run for I’ac kwood's Senate seat
A few powerful republicans, such .is TV even

Sadler said I'ai kwnod is com erned that Mobley
will divide republican voters if he runs and will
allow a Demi* rat to win the Senate seat
