Mr. Gardner Answers
To Medford Mail Tribune:
Relative to the registration matters
of whiffi you have been so freely at
tacking me, will say, that I have been
following the law according to the opin
ion of the Attorney-General of Oregon
which is superior to the advice of the
County Attorney.
If the registrations have not been
properly taken care of, why have you
not had your County Attorney bring
mandamus proceedings and the matter
could have been settled in a few days.
