"we’ve voted for Teddy every durned time he run.” "That’s right,” chime«! in his bald-headed partner, “and by heck, we’re goin’ to vote fer him ag’in.” | BWDJUMP JAVEHN ¿/Id Hlótt HUßCM FP Nearly every candidate that we supported was elected hands down. But for modesty, we might infer that the defeated ones made a big mistake by not enlisting our sup port. It is reported that many of the write-in ballots are being thrown out for alleged error. And every time one is cast out a good frien«l of ours jumps up in the air, cracks his heels together and yells, “hot stuff! Atta boys!” To us, this attitude seems a bit peculiar for we feel sure that if one of our friend’s favorites was losing ballots for a similar cause, our friend would be screaming, “stop thief’” at the top of his voice. A group of ladies were lambast ing things in general—no work, no money, no grub and grafters and crooks filling the public offices. “By the way,” we butted in, "have you voted yet?” “Oh, no,” they chorused, “we didn’t even register.” There was no regular torch light procession election night but several citizens were well lit up. The Editor Speaking (Continued from page one) sidered the monstrosity of Ralph running again in the general elec tion. Oregon law has provided for just such a move—but alas there is al ways a roundabout way to beat the mare. A candidate in the pri mary cannot run as an independent in the final campaign, but there Is nothing to prevent him from sit ting back and letting his friends promote an independent campaign for him, if the candidate wants to employ such tactics . . . and ap parently our present sheriff did • want to do just that. "<.-*■ Although he allegedly was away on a hunting trip at the time the move started. Jennings has had it in his power all the time to stop the move and condemn such un sportsmanlike efforts. If he opposed the move, and it was none of his doing, a half dozen words would have killed the write-in business. But on the other hand, merely ad mitting that he would accept the office if handed him indicated the idea coincided with his wishes, and although bound to silence in his own behalf by law, he lent his moral support to the move and did everything the law permitted to further his election. jority vote to place the regular candidates on the ballot. The two independents, Zundell and Rhodes, were required to circulate p«»ti* tions to appear as independents, but all that was necessary to put Jennings In the race was the coupled desire of several business men whose motives still remain 'Uestionable, a campaign fund hast ily subscribed, and strategic ap peals at the last minute of the campaign, when there was not suf ficient time for the regular nomi nees to assume a defensive atti tude and point out the unfairness of the write-in campaign. The write-ins used what is termed “real political strategy" and chose the psychological moment to soring their scheme. And it may have been successful, as to date returns are not official. But we still insist that there should be a display of sportsmanship even In politics . . . even if It would cost the present sheriff his job. dvr And who can say that either of the regular nominess couldn't han- die the work as well, and use the remuneration as handily?
