Questions Asked by Correspondent
Must be Answered Elsewhere i
Oregon City, Or. (Editor Courier,1
Sir) Like the Japanese schoolboy
made famous by Will Irwin, "I ask
to know." And these are the things
What is a democratic county
central committee for?
Maybe that looks like one question
to you, but it is several, so I say
these are the things 1 ask. In the
first pluce, why didn't the democratic
county central committee get out
some sort of a slate for democrats,
so that those of us who believe in
Jeffersonian principles could have
gone to the polls last week and voted
intelligently on a ballot 'that was
mostly blank spaces? What do we
care if it is all framed to have the
"candidates" that were picked up in
Mr. Hedges' office withdraw after the
primaries, so that the county central
committee can name Heatie's own
bunch? They might at least have
told us generally who those candi
dates were, instead of just telling
the little republican daily published
in tuwu nuic. , . i
Then again, how was it that the :
democratic county central committee
i.tu ,Uia ntiv I'jinmilntes. ami:
COU1UU b cuuwi v 'V
vet got ou t ana woiKeu il" w
death to get Koehler nominated for
sheriff? A month before the pri
maries the word was passed that
Koehler was them an, and three days
Uuiore the primaries this same word
was snuuiea out liom the corners,
iioi tnut mere is anything against,
ivoenler was tne man, and turee days
me cuihiniti.ee guinsnoe tor him su
particularly, anu put tne soil pedai
oil ouuiuig .'
aiiu yet again, if the chairman ol
the uemocrauc county central com
mittee was so dead stuck on uoosting
jur lirowneil, wny didn't he come
out and say that ueorge was a fnenu
ot his, just tne same as Billy Wilson
was a lrienu ot his, and ooost ioi
tnuni personally and unoincially 1
Lemocrats wouldn't have cared a
wnoop who the county chairman
boosted lor on his own account, but
it did Iook queer to us to see so little
real party wonc done, and so much
personal sneuking around uehind the
iences to pass the word for Koehler,
bi owned and Wilson.
And whom do you suppose they
will be for In November, the party
candidate or the candidate that lieat
ie tells them to be for? Maybe if i
get the answer to these questions be
loro you do I'll write and tell you.
