Previous predlotlona that Oregon
would Binoke :undei-.- the fraction
gonorated by the gubernatorlcal
raco havo been jolted considerably
during tho crucial period of last
week-and observers, whose politi
cal periscopes.' have been trained
on the six republican and four
democratlo candidates are discuss
ing pructical methods of overcom
ing an apparent stagnation in the
electorate. . , : .
,. Immediately after Oswald West
and Walter M. , Pierce had their
rather torrid affair aver the demo
cratic national committeeman posi
tion, and filings closed at Salem,
there-came from all- quarters of the
state assurance that Oregon 'faced
Its hottest : political campaign -In
nutny a day. .:. ;Av' --,.. ;, '-i'.
Small Void Expected . , : ;
Some - observers, apparently Im
bued by the spirit with which other
candidates entered the field against
Governor A. ,W. Norblad, lncumT
bent, -predicted that a 60 or even
a 80 per cent vote would be east
ut the primaries elay 16. The or
dinary vote In Oregon is a trifle
less than 40 per cent except in
pi-Dsidontltil yours when it has been
known to reach 50 per'eent...
NOW observers say that unless
the - electorate - begins .to. show- a
more decided Interest In the com
ing pi-linarlos and pay stricter atr
tentlon to political issues Incorpor
ated - In the .v oleollon.. . Oregon's
showing at the polls in -May. will
slump' below even the : lowest fig
ures on record. - - -
HoweVer,'. their statements are
qualified to a certain.; extent by
pointing titoanyiJ-partloular tasuo
which had"itssumod: uctually.. tho
proportion whoroby It can be clas
sified as ji "pollttoal issue." Gov-
i ornor Korblad's- alleged - collision '
with the fish commission has been
touted In certain sections of the
state, they say, but has not waxed
sufficiently warm to-be entered In
the category of a political issue.
