. Circuit Judge Job !

The contest which most inter

a year compared to $1800 which

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

parole record and can be counted

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.

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. Never- before
have as many aspirants sought
the democrat party - job as this
spring; party leaders expect
Roosevelt to be reelected and the

men who seek the committee
man's job want to have the power
which goes with four years of
handing out the piums.
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.
