At Sweetland
Portland VP) Another demo
cratic party leader has attacked
Oregon Democratic National
Committeeman Monroe Sweet
land. The current dispute was touch
id off Friday when State Treas
urer Walter J. Pearson, speak
ing at a Roseburg Jefferson
Jackson Day dinner, said party
hiTmony was impossible under
t'fffi "Sweetland group."
Sweetland later replied that
Pearson had aligned himself
with a "disruptive element" in
the party with which he said
State Sen, Thomas Mahoney is
associated.
Mahoney, replying to the
Sweetland statement, said: "In
his usual cowardly fashion,
Sweetland, instead of answering
Pearson's charges, sought to
evade the issue." He said many
persons have denounced Sweet
land as "a socialist or worse."

Judge Felton
Explains Laws
Persons obtaining divorces in
the court of Judge Joseph Fel
ton can never plead ignorance
of Oregon's law preventing
marriage to a third person until
six months have elapsed.
Each divorce decree granted
by the judge states that neither
party shall marry a third per
son within a period of six
months after the decree.
Asked about the Oregon law
on remarriage Judge Felton
pointed out that it in no way
affects the remarriage of the
two persons granted the divorce
and that if they chose they could
remarry each other immediate
ly after the divorce was grant
ed. The clause in the Oregon law
governing remarriage of di
vorceed persons dates back to
1862. At that time the law
simply stated that there could
be no remarriage until after
appeal or the expiration of the
time of appeal.
It was in 1913 that the clause
which does not permit remar
riage until six months have
elapsed was added. That clause
has continued down to the pres
ent date.
At times the Oregon legisla
ture has passed laws validating
marriage entered into in less
than six months and legitimiz
ing children of such marriages.
The last was passed in 1941.
