W e w ere en co u rag ed by th e w ay th e C u rry C ounty C itizens
C o m m ittee cam e out in supf»ort of C h arles D oane for C ounty
Ju d g e. O th ers in th e com m unity too, have urged the election of
D oane d u rin g th e com ing election.
W e have been inclined to trea d a little easily, this being
o u r first election in th is area. T h e re is no point in o u r com ing
o u t and m ak ing a lot of noise in th e election, fo r exam ple.
N o rm ally w e’re not fence riders, as th a t is about th e m ost
u n co m fo rtab le ¡>osition we know' of. B ut we a re going to assum e
th a t position in th e city ra ce for several reasons.
H ow ever, on a co u n ty w ide level w e’re going to go along
w ith C h arlie IXiane, and h e re ’s why.
F irst, D oane is m ak in g a real cam paign out of it. T h a t
alone is to I k » highly com m ended. He has been in th e B rookings-
H a rb o r a re a o ften d u rin g th e past week, actively seeking
th e office. H e isn’t co n ten t to sit hack and hope for th e best.
Secondly, D oane is a ’’com m on sen se” candidate. He w ill
keep a lig h t w a tc h on e x p e n d itu re s in the county. An exam ple
of this is th e p roposed new' C o u rt H ouse building in Gold Beach.
D oane has this to say about it “ Ix 't’s w ait un til we have th e
m oney in the cash re g is te r”, before building it.
T hird, D oane is m ore o r less independant. H e isn’t backed
by people w ith axes to grind. F inancially too, h e’s m ore or
less independant He says to this th at “the m oney I spend in this
electio n belongs to m e,” and ” 1 have m ade no p o litica l p ro m
ises.”
L ast, but p erh ap s m ore im p o rta n t from th e so u th ern end of
th e co u n ty s stan d p o in t, D oane could conceivably give us w hat we
in th e so u th ern end feel o u r due, as fa r as county im provem ents
go. C erta in ly th is feeling aro u n d th ese p a rts have been th a t
B rookings H a rb o r has b ee r m ore o r less th e ’’step ch ild ” in the
co u n ty fam ily, an d any change in the county a d m in istra tio n
w ould be for th e b e tte r, com m unity wise.
F o r these reaso n s w e’re on C h arles D oan’s side.
