SEVENTY-NINTH YEAR Salem, Oregon, Sunday Morning, February 9, 1930 CORBEHIEA Hall Running Third as Can didate With Neuner Be lieved Out of It Straw Vote Taken Among Editors of State to Find Trend of Opinion By C. A. SPRAGUE The poll which was taken among the editors at Eugene showed Norblad 23; Corbett 16; Trail a A-vuuvr a. ias rjugene Register took the straw vote and in its news article It says: This poll, although limited in opinion to the estimates of 51 men can be construed as an accurate cross-section al Tlew of what may be the . ".present sentiment in the state as seen by. leading newspaper men coming with a iresn stock oi knowledge "jaf ! the Republican trend In ithpir home communities.. ' The Oregon editors with out regard to political party affiliation were asked to vote the present expression of Tiew as they find it in their homes in various parts of the state. These leading news papermen of Oregon being In a position to ascertain as near as possible as to what the home folk are talking and thinking politically give an Interesting "straw Tote" on' the Republican contest for governor. m Quite a number of written Tiews were expressed by the editors in penciled opinions on the bottom of many of the ballots turned in. One editor wrote that "One looks as bad as another to a Democrat but believe that the present governor has the advantage up to the pres ent." "We concede the election to, Norblad and cheerfully do so," was the Comment of another. , "Norblad or Corbett," said another editor who had - a second choice. "Our community as" well' as 'myself favor Charles Hall bat my opinion is that Nor blad will win," is the remark of an editor evidently from a strong pro-Mall community. The poll was not to show indi vidual preference but the view of the editor as to who would suc ceed in the coming elections. The result is full of significance. It displays what we have stated be fore that the race at present lies between Messrs. Norblad and Cor bett. The apparent lead of Nor blad la impressive; but the sig nificance of this must be dis counted In some degree because ' the editors represented are chief ly from over the state. Possibly there were three or four from Multnomah county who voted in this editorial poll, the remainder being from over the state. Con sequently the poll does not fully reflect the opinion which would emanate from Multnomah county which Is clearly the. seat of Cor kett's greatest strength. Given a fairer representation from that county where a third of the votes are the ratio between Norblad and Corbett would be closer to gether than 23:16. Hall's place Is decidedly third, a position which is rather con firmed in Chapman's paper the "Oregon Voter" which refers to "Hall skidding". The critics of politics seem to think that Hall struck 12 In 1922 and his come back at this time is rather diffi cult, particularly when through the death of Governor Patterson and the accession of the younger and c en more active Norblad, took away from Hall his cam paign argument for a young and aggressive governor. Neuner of course would get no encourage ment from the editorial poll; but there are many votes besides the few cast or controlled by editors so both he and Hall will direct their canvass toward the great mass of voters.- The primaries are still weeks awoy. Norblad might stub his toe; Corbett may weld a Multnomah machine that will force through a big. vote for him in his home county. There is always the chance of trades. Some of the- weaker can didates if convinced of their im minent failure may dlcked for a deal and If they strike a bargain then the results may be greatly Influenced. But in these days of the direct primary, political deals do not deliver as success fully as la the days of the old convention system.

PASTOR ARE AIRED Hearing Held in Rev. Payne Case in Justice Court Yesterday When one of the state's wit nesses failed to make an appear ance, the case of State vs. Robert L. Payne was continued after a short hearing in Justice cour Saturday. Time for the next hear ing of the case has been fixed for Thursday, February 13," at 10 a. m. in the justice court. Payne is accused of assault by Virgil O'Neill, a member of the first Baptist church, who declared that his pastor attempted to strike him with a chair following a dea con's meeting held several days ago at the local church. The only new feature to the as sault case was brought out in the examination of O'Neill o n the witness stand. He admitted to having transported Mrs. Payne, who was fleeing from her hus band to Medford, Oregon, from where she boarded a stage for Los Angeles. It will be remember ed that at the meeting of deacons when Payne is said to have at tempted to strike O'Neill, the an gered pastor declared: "You're the man who stole my wife" to O'Neill before he is alleged to have reached for a chair to use as a weapon on the man. O'Neill told on the witness stand that he had taken Mrs. Payne into his home on North Front street one evening last fall when she came to hisJiome seek ing shelter and escape from her husband. It was decided, to send the woman to .Los Angeles -where her sister . resides and the next day O'Neill departed for Medford with the woman in his car. Payne later went to Los Angel es and returned here with his wife. Mrs. Payne's sister Is said to have written a letter to O'Neill's wife here supposedly telling her what methods the preacher used in causing his wife to return to Salem. It was be cause O'Neill was going to read this- letter before the deacons at their January meeting that Payne committed the assault, it is charged.

At the same time many involved questions appertaining thereto presented themselves, and while some members of the coun cil indicated without hesitation that they would favor submitting the question to a popular vote, it became apparent that much inves tigation and preparation would necessarily precede the passage of any ordinance' to that effect. One Important :polnt In favor of municipal ownership was brought out by Fred H. Paulas, who Is familiar with bonding matters in connection with his duties as deputy state treasurer. He stat ed that bonds could be issued for purchase of the water plant which would not be general ob ligation bonds, but would be a lien solely upon the water sys tem and its revenues.

Feb. 8 (AP -President Hoover cleaned off his desk at the temporary exe cutive offices today and prepared to slip Quietly out of town to night for a fishing trip off Long Key, Florida. Although the railroads offered a special train for the trip south, the president asked that his car. which he is paying for personally, be attached to a regular train in order to avoid any ceremony. It was said at the White House that Mr. Hoover did not care to hare a special train operated for him when he was going on a fishing trip. The car, therefore, was attach ed. to the second section of a regu lar through train, to be operat ed without stops except for tho?e made necessary by changes of en gines.
