Kime Will Likely Appear on Ballot,
' Notwithstanding Recent Appolnt-
ment to Federal Job and Warn
tng That Politics Are Taboo.
At an executive meeting: of National
party leaders held Wednesday night. A.
W. Lafferty was indorsed, but not nom
inated, for Congress. - The support of
the National party was first offered to
Mrs. Carrie C Van Orsdall. grand guar
dian of the Women of Woodcraft, but
she declined, explaining; that she is
Democrat and will support the Con
gxessional nominee of her party, John
Smith. Following; the declination th
leaders concluded to give what aid and
comfort they can to Lafferty.
J. C Brown, president of the Farm
rs' Union, was the nominee of the Na
tional party and he accepted the nomina
tion. Then Brown was appointed as
distributor of farm labor, at 1200
month. This Is a Federal Job and Brown
was informed before he received the
appointment that it would be impossi
ble to play politics and remain on the
payroll at the same time. As between
a 12400 bird in the hand and a 17500
bird in the Congressional bush. Brown
decided to sidestep the latter. He went
to the National party bosses and asked
them to release him as the Congress
ional candidate, and the leaders accept
d his resignation.
. But and here la what makes a new
angle Brown has already formally and
officially accepted the nomination and
It was stated at Salem yesterday that
he had not withdrawn, so far as the
powers that be are concerned. A resign
nation of his nomination to a group of
National leaders is not sufficient to
get his name off the ballot; the Secre
tary of State is the proper person to
notify. It is also reported that the Na
tional party leaders did not advise the
authorities that Brown had relinquished
the nomination.
John Smith, the Democratic nominee.
gathered what information he could on
the subject while in Salem Thursday
and Smith is convinced that Brown's
name will be printed on the ballot as
the National party candidate for Rep
resentative of the Third Congressional
District.
"Lafferty may have the indorsement
of the new party," says Smith, "but
on the ballot Brown's name will appear
as the nominee."
Furthermore, if Brown's name is on
the ballot there is a strong probabil
ity that he will lose his $200 a month
Job as farm labor distributor for Ore
gon. There are Democrats willing to
call attention to Brown being a candi
date. Smith, who, held a Federal posi
tion, had to resign it when be was nom
inated. The party leaders held their confer
ence Wednesday night In the T. Sf. C A.,
building and sent for Mrs. Van Orsdall.
The nomination was offered in her case,
but with regard to Lafferty it was an
indorsement rather than a nomination.
Mr. Lafferty lost no time In having
a handbill printed telling the world of
nis new support and promising to give
his salary to the Government and en
list as a private if accepted for over
seas service, providing he Is elected to
Congress.
