OF PUNNY CAREER AS PINK Menace to Sane Journalism Chiefly Because PAPER STILL INCITES BULL With announcement late last week of the awarding of Jackson county’s largest political plum— the Medford postoffice -came rumblings of a coming upheav al in democratic central commit tee affairs, according to some southern Oregon bourbons. The appointment, and several other things concerning rwent “leadership," have not met with complete approval of the mass of democratic voters of the coun ty, it was declared, and next spring’s primaries are likely to see a few changes made In the party's setup here. "With an election coming up in the spring," one prominent democrat said, "the New Deal I h likely to extend into Jackson's democratic circles and the shuf fle may place In the discard a few ‘Jokers' for the good of the party. “It is felt by many of us that a lot of excess baggage has been carried by the party in recent years and treacherous political affiliations of a year ago and unexplained ’loyalties’ to ene mies of the county’s incumbent democrats nave made it advis able to inaugurate a few im provements next election.” “We feel that county demo cratic leaders should be of the same high and unquestionable caliber as are the men at the head of the national group and President Roosevelt,” the speak er concluded.
