: Youth Is moving into politics.
That lis an impression I have from
Friday's election. Not fuzzy-chinned
youth; but men and women
relatively young in years. Here in
Salem and Marion county Al

Morse "-had more youth appeal
than hit leading opponent. Wal
ter Norblad was an early bene
ficiary ol this; trend. Home from
the wars," young men and women
have! a keen sense qi civic re
sponsibility and a determination
to get in and j run the show. On
the whole, the ;elders are disposed
to give youth a chance, especially
wheq they appear to have the
stuff it takes in politics and pub
lic liife: j '
; No that thes oldsters are all set
for he discard. Homer , Angell
rolled up jwi Impressive majority
against youthful opponents in the
thirdf district icongressional race.
And I Lew Wallace, who surely is
a-veteran of political wars, made
a' rebound to outdistance the
younger Walter Pearson and near
ly pass the democratic organiza
tion I favorite, Austin Flegel, in
the race for the gubernatorial
nomination. -
The stage is set in Oregon for
a sharp political battle before the
November elections. Wayne
Morse will have no trouble dis
