M arlin, democratic candidate for governor, in order Io discredit ih< administration of President Boose- sell and so that the “ old republi can machine” , the Oregonian, "reactionary political mouthpiece" of Hie "special interests” and p riv ileged, can use Ihe battle cry “ a.- Oregon goes, so goes the nation” , Congressman M arlin declared this week. 'T a ilin g in Maine, the opposition has concent rated ils e ffo rt* toward securing public repudiation of the president and bis program iu Ore gon. T heir ambition is Io step forth on November 7 and say, ‘Behold' Oregon has tired of the new deal', and th eir bailie cry from then on w ill be ‘As Oregon goes, so goes the nation'. To them the president’s program of economic readjustment on a basis of equity and a recogni tion of human rights over those of property rights is repubnant,” Martin stated. The chief issue of Ihe campaign is fo r Oregon Io sit close Io the Hnosevelt administration, the dem ocratic candidate states. In hi* statement, Martin attacked the “ Four Horsemen” whom, he say;, are guiding the republican candi date, and declared that each has been repudiated by Ihe people. “I know the president, he is a friend of mine. I know Ihe cabinet members, and Ihe leaders of the senate and house as well as the members of Ihe federal power com mission who w ill set the rates on Ihe great Bonneville dam, w hich I w ith Senator Charles McNary, se cured from Ihe president,” Martin stated. “ Oregon,” Martin said, “ has much at stake in the coming election. Tin extent to which federal assistance and relief w ill he extended to Ore gon in the next tw o or three years depends largely on Ihe manner in which Oregon cooperates and co ordinates ils efforts w ith those of Ihe federal adm inistration. The benefits and assistance which Ore gon receives from the federal gov ernment hinge* largely upon whin Oregon does on November 6.” Congressman Martin declared that lie stands fo r law and order. “ I recognize the right of laborers to organize Io prevent exploitation, their right to strike and th e ir rigid Io peaceful picketing.
