The "Unwritten Rule"
In advocating the election of C. M. Inmau of Salem, its
hand picked candidate for circuit judtre of the third judicial
district, over the incumbent, Judge L. G. Lewelling of Linn
county, the Salem Statesman attacks the "unwritten rule"
by which one judge should be chosen from each of the
counties of the district. It says:
If we examine this so-called "unwritten rule" we will find first tt
has no legal standing; second It probably had no genuine origin; and
third it has no present validity. Certainly no group of lawyers or citi
zens could bind the voters In their rights of suflrage. And we have not
learned of any persons who confess to have such a private understand
ing. Years ago there were times when both Judges of this Judicial dis
trict were Salem men: Judges Burnett and R. P. Boise at one time and
Judge Burnett and Judge Galloway later.
The facts do not bear out this assertion. Many years
ago it is true that two Salem men sat on the bench of the
third judicial district but it was not the same district then
a3 now. The district then comprised five counties, Marion,
Linn, Yamhill, Polk and Tillamook, and the judges covered
the circuit, holding court in the five county seats. In 1913
the present third judicial district was created comprising
Marion and Linn counties. Polk, Yamhill and Tillamook
were detached and formed the 12th judicial district. In
1915, Tillamook was detached from this new district and
with Washington formed the 19th judicial district. The
original third district has been divided into three districts.
Ever since the creation of the present third judicial dis
trict the "unwritten law" of selecting one judge from Marion
and the other from Linn has been observed, Judges Bingham
and Kelly being the first selections, and their successors be
ing likewise from the two counties and the rule has never
been questioned before by cither the governor or electorate.
This is to the advantage of litigants, members of the bar and
the judiciary, as there is always a judge available in emer
gency at each county scat, and one acts for the other when
necessary. It is in the public interest that the present ar
rangement continue.
The Statesman is right when it says the position of cir
cuit judge should command the services of the ablest, fair
est, most competent of the men who are available, and on
these grounds Judge Lewelling alone is entitled to reelection,
for during his brief term, his decisions have proven able,
fair and competent. He is not only versed in the law and its
practice, but in its interpretation. He has an excellent rec
ord as county prosecutor. On the other hand, Mr. Inman is
without judicial experience, his apiiearances in court have
been few and far between, and the fact that he has long been
a teacher in Willamette law school does not necessarily qual
ify him for the bench.
Straw
Straw votes may or may not be significant of the trend
of public opinion, but the significant thing about them this
year are that the results all trend in one direction the over
whelming election of Roosevelt, hence those partisan papers
that gave them front page and editorial prominence four
years ago, are burying them in curtailed form on inside
pages. There are a score of these straw votes being taken,
6ome of huge proportions, some by republican and some by
democratic papers but they all reflect a political upheaval.
The most extensive of these polls is that conducted by
the Literary Digest. A total of 2,617,185 ballots have been
tabulated from 48 states in its current issue Governor
Roosevelt receives 1,473,446, or 56.30 percent, a gain in per
centage from the 50.7 tabulated a week ago, and President
Hoover gets 973,367, or 37.19 percent as against 40.8 per
cent a week ngo. The remainder are for candidates of minor
parties. Thomas receives 4.86 percent of the vote cast.
Roosevelt is carrying 41 states and Hoover 7, the New
England states and New Jersey. On the basis of the elec
toral college, a division of the current balloting would give
Roosevelt 474 electoral votes to Hoover's 57.
a
The figures arc significant, for they give Roosevelt a
clear majority over all the candidates combined. A candi
date who has a poll of nearly a million and a half votes in
48 states, three weeks before election is clearly in an advan
tageous position. The advantage is the more impressive
when the percentage of variation between the Digest poli
and the final electoral count in 1928 is considered. In that
year the Literary Digest poll was wrong by only 6 percent
after being corrected for a 6 percent error in favo- of Hoover
because of the way the list of voters are made U, from tele
phone directories, auto registrations and other lists of the
compuritively well-to-do.
The most interesting feature revealed by the straw vote
is the way party lines are being crossed, Roosevelt receiving
37 percent of his strength from former republicans, 48.9
percent from democrats and M.8 percent from new voters.
Hoover obtains 80.6 percent from republicans, 6 percent
from democrats and 13 percent from new voters. In a dozen
states, Roosevelt is polling more republican than democratic
votes.
It is apparent that unless Rome unlikely and unexpected
event occurs, Roosevelt's election is assured, for students of
politics agree that few votes are changed so late in a cam
paign like this. As a matter of fact a democratic landslide
was clearly indicated as long ngo as 1930 when the republi
ens lost the house of representativt s and most of the governors.

It Just Seems
Literary Digest Poll
Gives Hoover 7 States
And 41 For Roosevelt
Roosevelt is leading Hoover by slightly over 3 to 2 in
the fifth week's tabulation of The Literary Digest's nation
wide presidential poll for which returns from all 48 states
arc reported in tomorrow's Issue or
the magazine.
A total of 2,617,185 ballots are tal
lied in the current returns. Gov
ernor Roosevelt receives 1,473,446 of
these, or 56.30 per cent, and Presi
dent Hoover Rets 973,367, or 37.19
per cent. The balance is divided
among the five minor candidates
with Norman Thomas receiving 4.86
per cent of the total vote cast.
The 10 new states reported m
this week's compilation Include
Florida, Maryland, Minnesota, Mis-
sourt, North Carolina, Oklahoma.
Texas, Virginia, Washington and
Wyoming. All are voting for
Roos?velt.
Hoover Is carrying the seven
states of Mnine. Vermont, New
Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Connecticut and New Jer
sey. Roosevelt is ahead In all of
the 41 other states.
On the basis of an electoral col
lege vote a division of the current
balloting would give Roosevelt 474
electoral rotes to Hoover's 57.
The voting in New York is closer
tli an in any other state, making the
outcome here doubtful at this time.
Roosevelt is polling 159,428 votes to
Hoover's 148.796.
A close ruce Is also evident In
Delaware, where Roosevelt has a
plurality of only 202 votes out of a
total of 5,682 cast in the state.
Hoover made slight gains In the
poll during the week in California
and Rhode Island. The voting In
all of the other 36 states previous
ly reported has changed only frac
tionally since the last report. The
balloting from the 10 states for
which first (mures are reported
furnish the bulk of the lead which
Roosevelt gams this week.
The returns from "state un
known" divided 5947 per cent for
Roosevelt and 33.60 per cent for
Hoover, which is slightly in excess
of the democratic candidate's ratio
for the country as a whole.
The pollinR of the District of Co
lumbia, which has no official ele
ction shows Roosevelt receiving 4,
754 votes to Hoovers 3.577.
The Oregon ballot is Hoover 6.
457, Roosevelt 12,000, Thomas 771,
Reynolds 47, Coxey 34, Upshaw 113.
Foster 114, miscellaneous 95. Of
the Hoover vote, 5,176 came from
republicans, 312 from democrats,
and 96tf from new voters. Of the
Roosevelt vote 5,969 came from re
publicans, 4,278 from democrats
and 1,731 from new voters.

Washington The trouble with
Europe Is that Germany nag France
on the run and knows H. That Is
the secret behind recent unfathom
able developments there. It explains
why the scheduled disarmament
agreement encountered delays, why
promised French concessions have
not brought results.
It sounds like French propaganda,
but comes from too disinterested 9
source to bear that label. '
The view was brought to the high
er administration circle here by a
man commissioned to investigate the
European situation unofficially. It
threw a scare into those who had
high hopes of a peaceful solution of
affairs in Europe.
As analyzed by this administration
adviser, German diplomacy Is un
dergoing a change. World sympathy
has been for her and against France
in recent years. Everyone knew tliat
French security was ttie obstacle to
settlement of reparations, disarma
ment and other developments desir

that with France ready to get into

FRIDAY. OCTOBER 21, 1932
Uons that Germany is trading to
ward the abort-sighted attitude that
turned the world against her ID
years ago. He says the is beginning
to realize too well she has the uiper
hand. She Is bent on anna equality
and does not care particularly
whether It Is authorised by treaty
revisions.
These statements might not be so
Important If it wen not (or the tact
that they may bring a change In our
policy shortly. We would Just as soon
squeeze Germany as Prance if she
turned out to be tne colored gentle
man In the European kindling. It
coming developments show the Eu
ropean situation continuing mat
way we may have something to say.
The source o( the information Is
of sufficient standing to permit a
policy to be based on his views, II
future news shows that things have
not changed.
Our statesmen still believe Oer
many may see the llKhl . They expect
a disarmament agreement which
wlU bring Germany equality within
ten years.
Another thing certainly coming Is
regulation of public utilities. The
holding back some evidence on that
score. It will oe reieasea auvr elec
tion.
Dnniilolnra taplOatinn will unaues-
tlonably be considered for the first
time In the short session, -mere may
not be time for action then. If
dmuwiII 'in thpri. will he a short
session after the regular one Is over.
It will be hard lor tne companies
to conduct an open fight against
the step. The Insull business is fur
nishing the momentum for the drive
against them. A congressional in
vMMirntion into that situation may
start the ball rolling.
The legislation win lara a lung
time. It is technically difficult.
mi a Amn.if.nn Tfrinn Will laV lOW
on the bonus and prohibition Issues
until after the election. The new
n.imnni fnmnuuiripr lit a democrat.
He does not want to get involved In
the presidential campaign, inc ix
gion has the democratic side of the
prohibition argument.
Also there may be a change of
tactics in the bonus campaign. Lit
tle business men may be rounded
up Instead of big ones to endorse
the banus Issue. The big boys were
coy. They represent finance while
the little icnows nave ie irauc
view.
French government officials are
suspicious that Mussolini has a sec
ret understanding with the Ger
mans. Both parties privately deny it
and the situation indicates the sus
picions are groundless. If there were
an agreement it would probably
show up by Italy giving Austria an
outlet to the sea. That lias not hap
pened and does not appear to be In
the cards. Experts here agree the
possibilities of Russia ever compet
ing with the United States in cotton
production are remote. If the Soviets
sell cotton It will be fore a need of
cash. The Soviets will continue as a
cotton importing country for as far
in the future as anyone can now see.
