Election of General Chan. H. Mar
tin as governor of Oregon wa* not
surprising. No more so would-have
been the election of either Joe Dunne
or Peter Zimmerman. Pre-election
propaganda and the element of un
certainty in which the entire cam
paign was shrouded up to the very
last minute, had prepared the people
to expect anything.
There were some surprising fea
ture* of the election results, however.
Martin’s plurality for instance. No
one, except, perhaps his most rabid
partisans who were claiming every-
thing, had expected the general to
roll up the huge plurality which he
did. A 5000 vote lead, or at the most
10 000, had been predicted by his
more conservative supporters, where-1
as Martin ran more than 21,000 votes
ahead of his nearest rival, Peter
Zimmerman, and nearly 29,000 votes
ahead of hi* republican opponent,
Joe E. Dunne.
Martin’s strength, and by the same
token. Dunne’s weakness in th* out-
state counties was a real surprise to
most neutral observers of the guber
natorial campaign. While it had gen
erally been conceded, even by the
1 epublicans, that th* democratic can
didate would run well in Multnomah
county where he was well known and
popular, as witness hi* overwhelming
election to congress two years ago, it
was just as generally believed that
the out-state vote would be very
close. Especially was the General
believed to be weak in eastern Ore
gon where it was pretty generally
conceded that Dunne would receive
a plurality of the vote* cast. On the
contrary Martin carried 14 of the 18
counties east of the Cascade* with the
other four going to Dunne and Zim
merman drawing a blank so far as
any pluralities were concerned, al
though he wa* runner-up in several
counties.
Dunne’s strength in Klamath coun
ty was another surprise, it being gen
erally believed that Zimmerman
would run ahead in that county on
the strength of Mahoney’s support.
While Zimmerman’s strength was
known to lie largely in the Willam
ette Valley and he had been conceded
most of the counties in that section
of the state, the progressive candidate
displayed unexpected strength in
Marion and Washington counties,
both of which he carried by substan
tial pluralities.
West of the Cascades, also, Martin
revealed surprising strength, carry
ing eight of the 17 counties in the
first congressional district. In fact
the strength of the democratic candi
date was pretty evenly divided over
the entire state. Completed election
returns show that he received a plu
rality of approximately 21,400 vote*.
Of this total he came out of Multno
mah county with 7,372 votes to the
gopd, picking up 14,000 more in the
out-state counties. Since slightly
more than one-third of the total vote
cast was in Multnomah county th*
plurality in and out of that county are
almost in exactly direct proportions
to the vote cast
Martin carried a total of 23 coun
ties, running second in ten and third
in three. Zimmerman received plu
ralities in seven counties, all in west
ern Oregon and was runner up in nine
Dunne carried only six countie* bat

and February, whereas only 22 re
publicans weathered the political
storm that upset the C. O. P. apple
cart. Not onl - do the democrat»
dominate the -iustion in the hauav
but they seem aiso to be in a very
fait way to dictate the organize don oi
the senate, what with some help from
the progressive republicans of that
body.
With 13 votes in their own
right, just three short of a constitu
tional majority, it is entirely probable
that ll»e democrats will be able to
term a coalition with the left wing
republicans to prevent at least the
election of Harry Corbett to the sen
ate presidency, ns had been planned,
if not actually elect one of their owr
number to that office.
Corbett, although unquestionably
one of the most able members of th«
senate and a hands-down favorite fo>
the senate presidency up until the re
cent upheaval, is admittedly of the
u'.tra-conservative school.
The senate presidency, always a
much coveted hbnor, is especially im
portant at this time in the light o»
the New Deal sentiment of the voters
of the state and the relation which
this office holds to the gubernatorial
succession. In view of the possibili
ty that they may be able to dictate
the senate organization the democrat*
herefore are already discussing pos
sible candidates for the gavel-wield
ing job. Of the 13 democrats in the
text senate only six are veterans, and
therefore, eligible to the job. These
are W. H. Strayer, of Baker county:
Ashby C. Dickson, of Multnomah;
John Goss, of Coos; Walter S. Fisher,
of Douglas; James H. Hazlett, of Hood
River, and Henry L. Hess, of Union
Of these Strayer, with 20 years of
continuous service to his credit, is by
far the most experienced and the log
ical choice for the democratic lead
ership but is said to be not overly
eager for the responsibility. Dickson,
on the other hand, is understood t<
be ambitious for the honor and the
other four in a recepive mood.
in the house the democrat* seem to
i^ve played a rather sorry trick on
George Winslow of Tillamook, Lowell
Paget of Multnomah and Earl Hill of
Lane. Each of these republican vet
erans had the speakership “in the
bag” and all sewed up ready for de
livery to themselves in person on
January 14, next. And then along
came the democratic hord?s to steal
the bag, speakership and all. In fact
Winslow and Paget were among the
casualties in the recent battle of the
ballots and will not even be in the
legislature, much less serve as pre
siding officer, and the hopes of Hill,
who was re-elected, were rudely
shattered by the democratic victory.
Now that they have the speaker
ship in their possession what will the
democrats do with it? Already specu
lation is rife as to who will win the
honor. While there are 38 democrats
who would no ddùbt be willing to sit
on the rostrum and run the show,
custom decrees that the job shall go
to a veteran of at least one previous
session which narrows the choice
down to seven on the democratic side
of the house.
Only 38 of the 90 members of the
1935 legislature have had any pre
vious law-making experience. The
other 84, or more than two-thirds of
the entire membership of the two
branches, are novices at the business
In the senate 18 former members
will be back at their desks and of the
12 new senators three are former
members of the house so that they
will not be entirely new to the game.
But in the house there will be 45
freshmen, entirely without any leg
islative experience. Only 15 of the
83 representatives, or one-fourth of
the house membership, have had pre
vious experience and of these 15 the
experience of 11 is limited to a single
session so that only four of the house
members can be classed as veterans
and these four are all republicans.
But that little detail is not expected
to deter the democrats in their deter
mination to make the most of the op
portunity that is offered them at last,
after more than 50 years of waiting,
to revamp the house organization ac
cording to their own ideas, from top
to bottom.
The democratic landslide of Nov
ember 8, in addition to electing a
democratic governor for Oregon also
swept the democrats into control of
th* house of repreoeotatives of the
state legislature for the first time
since in.

These war, some misstatements
made in answer to my article that
wt,: published in part by the Coos
Bay Times on Cct. 25 and by the Co-
qutlie Valley Sentinel in full on Oct
26. I feel tlxat it L*i my duty to inform
lite voters i i Coos County at this
time of tl>e tacts in regard lo state
ments that liuve been made.
Two editors of • weekly paper*,
namely the Western World, Bandon,
and il>e Coos Buy Harbor. North
'lend, refused to print my article,
iloth editors in an editorial took ex
ception to my writing and publishing
raid article at that time. The West
ern World ck.«mod it was published
at the “11th” hour and the Harbor
‘at the last minute for anyone to
•lake a reply properly.”
The facts are this article was pub
isred 10 days, 240 hours, or 14,400
nlnutes before the day on which the
Section was held, and all newspa
pers in Coos County have been pub-
ished since the above dates and be-
.oi-e the election, so everyone had
an opportunity to publicly answer or
comment on said article.
Judge D. F. Thompson has taken it
upon hiirxeif to answer said article
in the Coos Bay Harbor and the Coos
Bay Times.
<,
In his article In the above papers
he states that the charges are “am
biguous.” In the first place no
charges were made in said article,
what was said was taken from the
records of Coos County. If ambi
guous, the Judge himself is the author,
as he writes the orders of the County
Court..
He also states, “The writer of this
tirade claims that he issued his state
ment to inform the Public!” In this
he is absolutely correct.
The definition of the word “tirade,"
is a long violent speech, especially of
blame or abuse.
If this word is
properly applied to my article, again
the Judge is the author as they are
public records.
Referring to his paragraph about
the Board ofEqualization. There was
no disagreement over any matter*
before the board. The board accept
ed my recommendations on all appli
cations except one; that was the in
completed 8300,000 hotel building in
Marshfield, which I had assessed at
$5000. The Board’s other two mem
bers reduced i
1000. I. I took no
Istori
exeception to
decision.
He states, “Two weeks ago he, (re
ferring to myself), had a definite
bieak in the board and the ‘tirade’
is the result.” The board-completed
its work on Sept. 12th and adjourned.
That was over six weeks ago. There
has been no meeting since that 'and
there will not be, unless called by
the State Tax Commission.
He also states, “The court feel*
that it had full authority for creation
of Cash Emergency Funds.” That' is
no doubt a very fine feeling to have
a little cash. But he did not cite the
section of the statute where such au
thority is granted.
In reference to his paragraph in
regard to the sale of timber land con
taining 24,420 M. ft. of timber, in Sec
34-28-10 and Sec. 20-28-9. He state*
in part as follows: “The Court felt
that it wa* in the first place assessed
many times in excess of its true value
and that its location to water and rail
transportation was not taken into ac
count.” If 3 H cents per M., the price
for which it sold, is a fair market
value, it is asaeaeed 10 times too high
To my knowledge no complaint has
been mad* in the past 18 yean about
the assessed value of timber in Twp
28-9 A 10.
The U. S. Government
owns 20 sections in Twp. 28-10. This
limber could not be bought from the
government at $1-00 per M.; it is as
sessed at 38 cents.
Th* rates for assessment purpose*
were set and zoned by a committee of
timbermen back in 1913; at that time
•the rate in that zone wk* aet at 40
cent*. In 1928, the rate wa* reduced
to 38 cent*. If the county had held
that timber in reserve until opera
tion* reach it, it would no doubt be
worth from $30,000 to $40,000; (the
only carrying charge would be the
Fire Patrol.) This would be 80 times
more than the price received. Why
not plan a little for the future and
not be so selfish for the present.

logging was done.” This always hap

in the space which during the past
few years has been a weed patch and
