They just wanted to change figureheads and keep the republican policies that have guid­ ed (or misguided) us for the past 12 years. No sir, they didn’t vote against policies and tariff walls and pro­ hibition; they just wanted to see another face in the White House. The management of the nation’s business had been entirely satis , factory. Just wanted new person- j alities to greet them over news­ reels and the radio. Or at least so ) some would have us believe. Hi? Longest am. là st art 95 y òm? järd WUCH- ( Medford. Oregon. November 16. 1932.) I SELECTED if Ì | HALFBACK«/ k*ALl AMERICAN hf* (TEAM’ We certainly can lay no claim to being political prophets, but our assertion before election that this section would go about three to one for Roosevelt in the face of claims of victory by the republicans, was borne out in the final count, 538 j Roosevelt votes as against 260 for Hoover. Figure it outl—less than one-third of the votes cast for the pair were for Herby. 3 ne other day we drove up over the old Jacksonville hill road and ogled the neatly arranged piles of garbage, tin cans and refuse de­ posited just above the city limits on the highway. And thereby rests a lesson in human nature. One’s back yard isn’t even safe I from rubbish if it isn’t constantly policed and watched. Animals have more respect for others of their kind than some humans display. Miner Wields Teriffic Influence in Politics Unlike some southern Oregon newspaper, which were snowed un­ der in the election held a week ago, The Jacksonville Miner, standard bearer for the Jacksonville and Ap­ plegate country, emerged from the fray bearing the shining crown of public approval and support of its policies. And one of this paper’s candi­ dates, boomed for a write-in flurry, went over with a bang when the returns were tabulated in Ruch pre­ cinct. Ed Coffman received a vote! Unheard of politically until this paper got behind the young man, Ed was thrust overnight into coun­ ty-wide prominence when some faithful subscriber wrote in his name as constable of the Jackson­ ville district. “Who is this Coffman that seems to have so much political appeal?” asked the political powers of the section. “And how does he rate such unanimous approval—with that one voter?” Frankly, they have been worried. But Ed just smiled and said, “Dang it, I’d of got an­ other vote if I’d remembered to register.” • Earl Bryant was a business vis­ itor in Medford Wednesday. • W. H. Davis of Sterling was in this city Thursday on business. • Genevieve Herriott of Applegate is a guest of Mrs. Leonard Osborne this week. James Dews Arrives in Honolulu Ready for Duty, And Then Some __________ N orthwestern Well for heaven’s sake, didn’t those poor losers get their fill of preaching fear BEFORE the elec­ tion? They are either hard to learn, I or really wanted Fehl to win. GUFATETI (TEN FIELD 0JNNE£ ZZ\_ FOOTBALL ùii> MlHHdOn We have been warned of the dan­ gers lurking just ahead if we adopt the democratic way of doing things If we depart from the republican policies and practices of Hoover we ! are doomed to destruction—we are told. Although County Judge-elect Earl ■ Fehl will disagree with us, we be­ lieve he should pay the Mail Trib­ une his respects and thank it for his easy election. It would seem that the independent candidate who came out to “save the voters from Fehl" defeated his own purpose and made the battling editor’s election a certainty. Not satisfied to learn their lesson in the primary, “The I Gang” (as it is called) spilled the beans a second time.
