The Capital Journal, Salem; Oregon .Saturday, May 21, 1938 Twelve Governor Hosed Out in Close Contest (Continued from Pf e 1 ) state." Hew only mid that he hop ed the party would "go down the Una In November.'' Lost in Multnomah Martin waa a battle on a cam paign baaed on suppression of la bor violence, fealty to the president without "rubber atamp" aubmlaaion and no quarter for radicals while Hesa claimed Roosevelt adminls tration support and CIO and AFL endorsement, the only tune the two unions have agreed In Oregon. The governor lost his battle pri marily In Multnomah county, home for a third of the state'a popula tion and bitterest scene of the tur moll in the labor Industry. It was significant that Martin, self-styled labor champion and enemy of rack eteer, lost almost every lumber county of the state, drawing most of his strength from the farm re glons. The Issues upon which the vot ers made their choice bombshelled Into national attention only a week before yesterday's election after having kept Oregon at boiling point lor months. Martin, who had made himself known for his vitriolic attacks upon Harry Bridges and Harold Prltchett the respective longshoremen and timber leaders of the west for John L. Lewis' CIO, as well as bitter de nunciations of the National Labor Relations Board as "impotent" and Secretary Perkins as "miserable," launched a campaign last January gainst labor violence. By election day, the state-wide drive had seen the arrest of 101 persons and the sentencing of 33 to county jail and prison sent ences for participation In more than 250 Instances of violence, such as beatups, attempted bombings and successful ones, window smashing!, truck tlpovers, stench bombings, and serious fires. Much of this followed upon the fight which started last August be tween the AFL and CIO for con trol of the 10.000 Columbia river basin loggers and sawmill employes. The remainder of It represented at tempts by the AFL teamsters and some other unions to organise cer tain Industries, such as the dry cwaners. ruuie enorts of the NLRB to settle the lnter-unlon disputes drew down Martin's fire upon It and Secretary Perkins. Up almost to the election, this re. malned the Issue. Then dramatic ally, a week before voting day, Ste phen Early, secretary to the Dreal dent, declared the president never recalled making a remark last fall, upon his visit to Bonneville dam, which the governor quoted him as uttering. Martin said the president una nun as tney parted: "You and I make a good pair." Some 48 hours later, Secretary icaea loosen a Blast calling Martin no new dealer at heart" and Sen a tor Noma (bid., Neb.), said he waa disappointed In the governor ana noped Hess would win.

Secretary of State Earl Snell la perpetually enjoined under the decree from filing the referen dum and Is ordered to cancel the petitions and not accept them. Proceedings to block the referen dum were Instituted by the state on relation of Lyle J. Page, district attorney of Marlon county, with Earl Snell, secretary of state, nam ed as defendant. On May 6 Judge Lewelllng handed down an order overruling the demurrer to the complaint which had been tiled by the secretary of state. The secre tary of state has failed to file an answer which resulted In the de fault order and decree filed today, statutory time for filing of the answer having lapsed. Referendum petitions were attacked on the ground that a true and complete copy of the act wasn't attached to each of the petitions. Judge Lew elllng held that this omission In validated the referendum proceed ings. One paragraph of the origin al act was left out of the copy of the act attached to the petitions. The decree perpetually enjoins the secretary of state from certify ing to the county clerks of the state the ballot title or number In con nection with the referendum on the act which is Chapter 215 of the laws of 1937. The defendant secre tary of state, says the decree. Is ordered to cancel filing of the pe- tltlon heretofore filed by George u. Stanley and Is further ordered to refuse to file It.
