PAGE TWO &enwcrat of Both Faiths Fete' OCFs Control Central Committee to Meet in Portland; Dieksons Plrk Varied Path By RALPH C. CURTIS " Truculent Is the word for An drew Jackson, whose horde ot squirrel hunters and pirates licked th RHtlh the last time the Amer icans tougnt tnem, at tBaimem fust lis years ago- tomorrow. Jackson, whose father died before Old Hickory" was born and who was left as orphan strictly on his own at ace 14, sot to be president wlthont the. aid of social security. v stw th, n aw Healer n make anything oat ot It is one of those insoluble mysteries. Bnt what Jim Farley and his campaign fond can make out of it is no mystery at all, what with the dinner at $100 or. less a plate all over the land. truculent, however, is also the word for the old-line democrats of Oregon, what with the Common wealth Federation's control of the census machinery and even some republicans getting Jobs In prefer . nce to "real democrats." The pTeces of that Jigsaw puzzle don't tii, but anyway the boys who wil gather in Portland Monday night sr uvuvs ia .spoils system will be approximate ly in the mood of Andrew Jackson, aay late, in 1824 in case the name of. Henry Clay, likewise a demo crat, was mentioned la his, pres ence. This isn't the first time there hare been democrats and democrats. iTo make It a big weekend for tlra democrats, the state central ccjmmlttee will converge on Port land today to make some medi cine, gather in official session Monday afternoon prior to the jiekson day dinner, and it would n't; surprise us if some stayed over fo,r the "first citizen" banquet Tuesday night honoring former Governor Charles H. Martin. What medicine will be made remains to bo seen, though the Dieksons, un cle and nephew, who sat tandem id .the state senste last winter hate started things off by heading iq different directions; one for congress and the other for the cir cuit bench. But whatever else happens, there will be talk about that census matter. Yes, sir. - Thus the democrats get the jump on the republicans, who mast wait for their heroes birth A in In l?hrtiarT to ret of fifiillT vnder way. However, here in Mar ios county the ice has been broken by the? announcement of L. M. Ramaga aa a van did ate for the leg islature. Most of the candidates sby away from hat-tossing at this stage of the' game for fear they'll bo forgotten but that makes it nice and exclusive for the early birds. Earnest republicans are still searching for a candidate of real calibre to tub for county Judge, without success to date; there is talk of aspirants to the shriev alty and the legislature; and some about the office of district attorney. Lyle H. Page, the in cumbent, hasn't announced his intentions yet, but others who re scanning" the berth hopefully are taking it for granted that he will run again. Among those def initely considering the race but not yet committed, is Miller B. Haydeh, Salem Justice of the peace,' who hasn't made up his mind. Haydea's term at justice ruas to 1S42. . j -Most of the active develop ments hereabouts to date, more or less related to government and politics, have been of the Irks Loyalists Impersonal type.

Prank Tierney, state democratic chair man, declared today. The response to the Jackson day fond drive, has "not been aa generous as was anticipated," Tierney said. "Many, who have been enjoying good salaries under the democra tic administration are hiding be hind their own construction and interpretation of the Hatch act and the civil service interpreta tion of that legislation," Tierney added. 1 1939 Good Year In Job Placing Leas Unemployment at End of Term Reported by State Commission Every section of Oregon showed larger payrolls and fewer Jobless at the end of 1939, according to figures released here Saturday by Silas Galser, administrator for the state unemployment compen sation commission.
