SALEM. Democratic members
of the state legislature got together
in Portland Saturday and greased
the skids for organization of both
the House and Senate. That is they
centered upon John Cooter of Lln
codn county as the Speaker of the
House and W. H. Strayer, veteran
legislator from Baker county, as
President of the Senate. Strayer's
election, however, is still contingent
upon the release by Senator Corbett
of his pledges and upon the ability
of the Democrats to persuade at
least three Republicans to join with
them in support of a Democrat for
the gavel wielding job which now
seems highly probable.
From all reports the Democratic
caucus was entirely harmonious
with both William L. Graham and
Howard Latourette of Multnomah
county withdrawing from the
Speakership race to give Cooter a
clear field and Ashby C. Dickson,
Portland democrat, shelving his
personal ambition in order to throw
the entire Democratic strength be
hind Strayer.
Thirty-two of the 38 Democratic
representatives and six of the 13
Democratic senators attended the
Portland caucus which had been
called by members of the Multno
mah county central committee.
With the legislative machinery
thus well oiled and ready to start
rolling when the button is pushed
on January 14 Interest now shifts
to Governor-elect Martin and his
, plans which so far are shrouded In
deepest silence. Not even the most
intimate friends of the General, ap
parently, have any idea as to whom
he has in mind for appointment to
the several jobs which he will be
expected to fill when he takes over
his new job of running the state.
In fact it is very doubtful if the
general himself has made up his
mind definitely on any of his ap
pointments. Frank A. Spencer, treasurer of
the Martin campaign committee, is
being mentioned as successor to
William Einzig as state purchasing
agent. As former manager of the
General Grocery company in Port
land, Spencer has had considerable
purchasing experience and is said
to be well qualified for the job. The
suggestion that Oswald West, for
mer governor, is in line for Charlie
Thomas' job as utility commission
er, however, is ridiculed by friends
of Martin who contend that West's
well-known corporation connections
would disqualify him for this job.
Martin is expected to name a suc
cessor to Mrs. Sheldon Sackett as
private secretary to the governor
and to abolish the job of budget di
rector, now held by Henry Hanzen
which he has promised to handle
personally while he Is governor.
Outside of these four jobs the
new governor is not expected to be
in any great haste in making
changes in the state organization.
In fact, most of the governor's
friends agree that it would be the
part of wisdom to wait until after
the legislature has adjourned and
he has had time to survey the situ
ation from the Inside before at
tempting any further reorganiza
tion of the state machinery. At any
rate it is not expected that the new
governor will be inclined to enter
into any wholesale house-cleaning.
Committed to a one-term policy he
will be under no necessity to devote
his attention to political fence-fixing
as is the average Individual
who enters office and will feel en
tirely free to pick and choose his
lieutenants on merit and without
any fear of what the effect of his
selections may have on his political
future.
Thirty-three persons were killed
In tralllc accidents in Oregon dur
ing October bringing the year's to
tal up to 251.
A total of $16,922,000 will be avail
able for highway purposes In Ore
gon during 1935 according to the an
nual budget of the state highway
department which has been pre
pared by R. H. Baldock, state high
way engineer. The figure includes
$4,153,000 of NRA funis already
allocated to this state for federal
aid projects and $3,800,000 to be
spent on the five Coast highway
bridges during the year.

WORK OF RADICALS
Aim of Communism is to
Undermine Nation's
Faith in God, Said.
COLLEGES INVADED
Teddy Leavitt Cites Lions Own Ex
perience; Professional Pitfalls
Subject for Discussion.
Pleas for vigilance against the
inroads of communism being made
in the United States, and for a re
turn to the God of our forefathers.
were made by Teddy Leavitt, sing
ing lumberjack evangelist, before
the Lions club Monday noon lunch
eon. Leavitt, recently returned from a
seven-months' stay in Los Angeles,
declared he saw with his own eyes
the red flag of communism hoisted
above the American flag on a col
lege campus. He declared commu
nism is making unbelievable inroads
into the higher educational struc
ture of the United States with the
avowed purpose of undermining
the faith of students in the Holy
Bible and in God.
He related the fall of the Roman
and Grecian empires as due to sin
and licentiousness, in predicting the
fate of the United States if it does
not "return to the God of our fore
fathers." The success of commu
nism will mean the destruction of
this great empire, he believed.
In introducing his talk, Leavitt
gave a sample of his wares in sing
ing two negro spiritual songs which
were well received. He is conduct
ing a series of revival meetings at
the Church of Christ.
A Socratic league program discus
sion, led by S. E. Notson, gave
-Lions an insight Into some of the
pitfalls which lie in the paths of
men of different professions. Law
yers were said by one member to
be the most distinguishable of any
single group of professional men,
because of similarity of their ac
tions. Asked what he considered
to be the greatest deterrant to one
in the law profession, one lawyer
believed the propensity to "get into
a rut" was probably the correct an
swer. - Laws, more than anything
else, are ever changing, he believed
and it is no little chore for the law
yers to keep up.
The same tendency toward Iner
tia was given as a deterrant also to
the medical and ministerial profes
sions, the other professions men
tioned. Introduced as guests were Rev.
Halph Hinkle of Pendleton, Stephen
Irwin of Nehalem, F. A. McMahon,
state policeman, and Joel R. Ben
ton. Jean Turner, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Sam Turner, and Mary
Lou Ferguson, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. R. B. Ferguson, pleased the
assemblage wtih a piano duet They
were introduced by Mrs. J. O. Tur
ner, club accompanist, as the baby
members of her piano class.
