Circuit Judge Job ! Has Most Interest The contest which most inter ests, the, voter is that for circuit - Judge In Marion and Linn conn ties. Here's a post paying 16000 a year compared to $1800 which 1 the average rate of pay for the other county 'Jobs. And It's held by the colorful Judge McMahan. ' who has been knee-deep in Mar lon county politics for aecaaes. The Judge says he Is taking -no - interest in the campaign whatever and will let V.Iter Keyes and William H. Trindle, his opponents, - have the fun of speaking to rranges and distributing cards. Nevertheless the Judge Is get ting out some publicity on his parole record and can be counted oa to contact the "old-timers' - throughout the district who are " supposedly his first-line of defense In a political fracas. Walter Keyes - is la the field dally. Mr. Trindle baa been held up by court work. bat he's out nights making speech es and contacts and hopes that the church forces which supported him In previous campaigns will again line up when he asks the judgeship. Neither of McMahan't opponents expect to win a major Jty vote and thus , the election. ' Each, expects that fMcMflaa and - bitaseflf HriU a thai big auWo'Oen when the May 15 ballots are counted and that the antt-McMa- baa forces are sufficient next No vember to unseat the incumbent. Herman A. Lafky Is waging the most aggressive campaign for dis trict attorney of any of the five aspirants for that office. Lafky seeks the republican nomination along with Lyle J. Page, who has served two district attorneys as deputy, and with C. S. "Pat" Em mons, a youngster at the bar with a large amount of energy and a wide acquaintanceship. On the basis of experience Page should win. Lafky is depending on his grange connections, his continued help for farmers who have had economic reverses, and his per sonal perseverance as a campaign er, to bring him the nomination. Max Page, brother or Lyle, is han dling the latter's campaign; the past fortnight has found young Page in the field steadily with Max Page dividing his time between managing the state campaign for Senator McXary and his brother's own fight in this county. Theodore G. Nelson of Salem is too smart politically to think he can defeat Charles L. McXary for the republican nomination for state senator but Nelson is doing a good job in weakening Sam Brown's -campaign. Old heads in the political game insist that Nel son's In the race tor only that purpose. Nelson has all the equip ment of a full-fledged campaign er; he's established offices in the Senator hotel, the past week he got out a well-printed and well edited broadside with the usual pictures for a campaign: "Nelson at home," "Nelson milking the sow," "Nelson with his children" all designed to show the Town tend group and other disaffected blocs that Nelson was one of them. Nelson's refusal to withdraw as a candidate infuriates Sam Brows, rbe Gervais farmer believes that otherwise he could get the Town send votes, the left-wing votes, a portion of the farmer vote and tkms give McNary a race. McNary's supporters cannot ser Joaaly believe that Brown and Nel son are formidable competition to .Oregon's senior senator, the lead er of the republican party in the - apper house. But they are realists aad the Incumbent in disturbed liases can never anora to oe san guis e. The senator's friends are - starting a campaign In his behalf , with the state to be organize! and ry distributed. The senator has been' so busy In Washington in late years, so- tired when he came home,' that he has not been about the state as much as is customary far the candidate for reelection. - Bis friends for the last week have been going about the state find ing out where any "sore spots" exist and seeking to heal them be fore the May IS tote. Maaoner Apparently Aknd of Jeffrey - - Willi Mahoney appears to be letting Judge Jeffrey for the r democratic nomination for United States senator. Jeffreys got the oXf-agaln-on-agaln Townsend en- dorsement but Mahoney has the blarney and the bombast which Is .delivered lavishly about the state as he shuttles here and yon mak ing campaign rpeeches. Right wing democrats will walk out on Manoney-ir ne.is nominated ana go down the line for Senator Mc ' Nary. Mahoney's selection by the state to succeed the present sen ator would be unthinkable albeit political . onlookers, who fear the Townsend rrmin and tha sower of . popular prejudice , which Mahon- ' ey invokes say fie wouki be a nominee to contend with. , Ma- f honey's strength . in the primaries may be' overemphasized., His-e- - natation as a political car petbag- . ger Is becoming, more generally known;. the Townsend clubs didn't like the Mahoney antics in jump ing Into the Townsend movement only when It became popular and then doctoring the age of his let ter of endorsement, , . . .., . ; Ben F. Dorris is nutting' on a' Lard tight lor the' republican se-' lection as national committee man. Dorris, Eugene fruit grow er and prominent veteran, is de pending, on contacts made in 10 year? of Intensive" American, Le gion work: Ralph Williams, in cumbent, has placed his political fortunes In the hands of Stewart "Weiss, and S croup of young re- The state capitol fire at Its height, exciting occurrence was general publicans while Williams himself attends to the preparation details for the Cleveland convention. Williams has had 28 years con secutive experience as committee man from Oregon, 12 of which he has spent as vice-chairman of the national organization. Old-timers in the republican organization think it would be a calamity for the organization to drop a man with the alleged "connections" which Williams has. New blood in the. party want a change and while they have it against Dorris for at one time being a democrat, they point to him as an aggres sive, capable politician, one who soon would be heard from at na tional meetings and a man who would get out and work for the party In Oregon. Williams has always been aloof from the rank and file of the re publican party in the state; he has spent much of his time in the east and he has been charged with holding the commTtteeman's post more for the honor and the prestige it gave him rather than to use the post for the benefit of his party in Oregon. Dorris' friends are particularly irked be cause Williams said he would not seek reelection, then reversed his position, presumably on the strength of a petition from his friends urging him to run. Wil liams last week took the credit for Senator Stelwer's selection as convention keynoter. An even more strenuous fight is on in the democrat ranks for the national committeeman's position. Howard Latourette, speaker of the house, believes he can come out of Multnomah county with such a plurality that none of his three opponents can defeat him. Dr. Joseph F. Wood of Multno mah county may surprise him; he is favorably considered by many of the democrats in the metropo lis. A. M. Dalrymple of this county declares his long service ta the party will be rewarded by the election as national commit teeman; Dalrymple is handicap ped by being tied to his job at the sheriff's office and is depend ing on a campaign of letter writ ing to win him votes. Claude McColloch of Klamath Falls, an able attorney, son of Judge- McColloch of Baker, bro ther of Utilities Commissioner Mc olloeh, is geographically handi capped in bis quest for the com mitteeman's post.

William S. "Buck" Wharton, newly named executive secretary to the governor his post is that of budget director is doing an excellent job. For the first time since the budget department was created real control over expen ditures of the state bureaus and departments is being imposed. Wharton is using as the key to his control, monthly reports of esti mated expenditures in each de partment of state government. He learned at the outset that each state institution and many state departments had a different type of bookkeeping. Hence it was im possible to synchronize properly the reports from the departments; one bureau was accustomed to group its expenditures under a classification varying from that of its neighbor. Comparative basis of bookkeeping Is being worked out for each bureau with the view of making budget control efficient and mnch more simple than it is under existing bookkeeping ar rangements. Until September, Wharton will concentrate on watching the ex penditures of state departments under the 1935-1936 appropria tion bills. This fall he will begin preparation of the 1937-1938 bud get, using the information obtain ed as supervisor of expenditures to produce a statement of propos ed outlays for the next two years free from hidden excesses of cost. Wharton is already hopeful that savings in maintenance costs of state departments will permit a restoration of part or all of the 'salary slashes first imposed in 1932 and continued almost in en tirety by the 1935 legislature.

Rhoten cited federal law to add to his contention that release from prison was a matter of right, not pf grace when a prison er had completed his maximum less good behavior credits. Fehl had shown good conduct. Indus try and evidence of reformation while in prison, Rhoten asserted. Counsel for Fehl contended an attorney-general's opinion of 1923 Justified state prison offi cials in releasing offenders with out parole when their maximum sentences had been served. Moody took direct issue with Rhoten's position in opening thr argument for the state. - He de clared no man In prison for an of fense subject to parole, conld be released short of hie fall sentence period. -except by parol from the governor. Moody declared repeat-. dry that good behavior credits, trader Oregon law, only accelera ted the time when a parole can be granted. -Release of a prisoner be fore his full term is served as a matter of grace, not of right. Moody emphasized. He declared that federal rulings In paroleable offenses, had no ef fect in Oregon since the statute of this state spoke for itself. He went at length into opinions of former attorney-generals and held that they were entirely consistent with the opinion of Attorney-General Van Winkle which held that Fehl could not be released, prior to serving his full four years, ex cept by parole from the governor. Fehl was offered a parole a week ago by Governor Martin pro vided he would not return to Jack son county for the next 16 months. Fehl refused the parolr and hired lawyers to seek a ha beas corpus release for him. Jackson county fears his return, officials there alleging he may again take part in political activ ity which will disquiet the county as his statements and actions did four years ago. 6133 Salem, Oregon Tears for Marion and Polk Counties All for 4 Phono 4093 .
