"Civilized Ideals"
CONCISE, statesmanlike, reflecting
depth of wisdom acquired thru
many years' service in the national
senate, was "Charley Mac's" speech
in acceptance of the republican nom
ination for vice president delivered
at the state fair grounds in Salem
Tuesday evening.
His was a message of hope as he
averred young America is not yet
ready to accede to the philosophy
of defeatism which recent govern
mental leaders have propounded; as
he pointed the way to retain "the
civilized ideals that we cherish." No
vitriolic harangue of opponents, the
message resounded with clear think
ing. It held an appeal to all who
would keep America safe for the
American way of progress that brot
the nation to be great.
Answering one foremost claim of
the present administration to the
farm vote, that of allotment pay
ments, Senator McNary cited that
agriculture has just had a stand-off.
While the government had benefit
ted the farmers with payments, at
the same time it reduced tariff bar
riers to permit foreign products to
crowd home-grown products from
the home market in an amount al
most equal to the total of benefit
payments. The solution seen by the
clear-thinking senator is to give
home markets back to American ag
riculture. It is his belief, concurred
in by many other of the country's
leading thinkers and borne out by
many years of successful operation
in past that this system is more
beneficial to agriculture than such
attempts at orderly marketing and
subsidization as have been made by
this administration.
Senator McNary admitted social
gains by new deal measures that
have given people in the lower wage
strata a better break. He denoted
his own liberalism in his statement
that the ideal to be attained in dis
tribution of the nation's hydro-electric
energy is to make it available to
the individual user, especially the
man on the soil.
His was an appeal for proper gov
ernmental regulation to retain for
the people the greatest benefits from
the nation's unlimited resources.
Surely, with the man-power, brain
power and natural resources avail
able in America, such a policy leaves
little room for a philosophy of de
featism. The WilLkie-McNary team
is one of hope; holding promise of
the capability to pull America from
the mire of stagnation, to revitalize
the throbbing heart of a great nation
a heart that has beat fearsomely
under stress of strange isms.
STOTTS ENLISTS IN ARMY
James P. Stotts, son of Uriah
Stotts, Heppner, was enlisted at
Portland for the regular army last
week, according to Lieutenant Col
onel H. D. Bagnall, Oregon recruit
ing officer. He was enlisted for the
quartermaster corps for duty at An
chorage, Alaska. Stotts was tenta
tively accepted at the Pendleton re
cruiting sub-station and was for
warded to Portland to take final
examination and the oath of enlist
ment Colonel Bagnall also said that
enlistments are being accepted for
eight other branches of the service
the infantry, cavalry, coast ar
tillery, field artillery, air corps, sig
nal corps, ordnance department and
medical department. In order to
qualify, applicants must be single
citizens between 18 and 35, physical
ly and mentally fit, and of good
character.
N RTiiiMOL
Salem, Aug. 22. Oregon, regard
less of political affiliation, turned
out to give Senator Charles L. Mc
Nary, republican nominee for vice-
president, the greatest ovation that
has ever been accorded a native son.
While official notification of his
nomination was strictly a partisan
affair as it must necessarily be, in
sofar as the people of Oregon were
concerned it was non-partisan, for
here was an event transcending
mere politics.
It is not generally known that out
of regard for McNary the senate,
where he is minority leader, will
mark time until he returns from the
trip to his home state. Debate will
continue as usual, but Senator Al
ben Barkley, the democratic leader,
had agreed that no vote on any
matter of consequence would be
taken during the absence of the re
publican nominee for vice-president.
Barkley, incidentally, had hoped to
be the democratic nominee for pres
ident if Mr. Roosevelt did not seek
a third term, and later hoped he
might be the running mate of Mr.
Roosevelt in this campaign.
The senate is something like a
club. The members may quarrel and
not be on speaking terms, but they
abide by the traditions and observe
senatorial courtesy a phrase which
covers a multitude of things. That
one of their own number has been
nominated for vice-president is a
matter of pride and this has been
enhanced by reason of the fact that
Senator McNary is regarded as the
most popular member of the body
on either side of the aisle. The
"aisle" is the passage across the
senate chamber which separates the
republicans from the democrats.
It required no effort on Senator
Barkley's part to obtain the consent
of democratic togamen to dispose of
no important legislation while the
republican leader was in far-off Or
egon to be notified of his honor
and for him to accept the nomina
tion. Figuratively speaking, the leg
islative clock is standing still.
In order to be absent from his
official duties at the national cap
ital the shortest possible time, Sen
ator McNary flew across the con
tinent, leaving Wasington one after
noon and arriving at Swan Island
airport the next morning. It was the
first time that the senator was in
the air in more than 20 years, and
on that occasion the plane was a
crude affair compared with a pre
sent day ship. The plane cracked
up later in the day McNary made
his first flight and a congressman
was killed. It was to have carried
Senator (later president) Warren
G. Harding.
For the few days after the notifi
cation this week Senator McNary
will attempt to obtain rest. His fav
orite place for relaxation is at Ya
quina bay and Agate beach, where
he can find rock oysters and crabs
such as are not found in the fish
mart of the national city. Then off
on a plane to his desk and duties in
the capital. The position of party
leader in the senate or house is dif
ficult because if the party happens
to be the minority party (as the re
publicans have been for eight years)
the measures supported or opposed
are considered the policies of that
party. A majority party takes its
policy from the administration. The
minority members have to carefully
weigh an administration policy be
fore opposing or supporting it.
From all walks of life came the
thousands of men and women who
thronged state fair grounds at Salem
to participate in an outstanding ev
ent in Oregon history the notifica
tion of a native son that he is re
garded as qualified to be vice-president,
and potential chief executive,
of the United States. The possibil
ity of a vice-president becoming
president is always considered in se
lecting a vice-president. Such pro
motions have not been uncommon
in tfie history of this country.
The relief worker sat in the grand
stand or bleachers with the business
man; the employer and the work
man rubbed elbows or asked the
cattleman or farmer to move over.
No one cared whether the fellow be
side him was a republican or dem
ocrat they were there to See "Char
ley Mac," as he is affectionately
known to his fellow Oregonians.
Less than five miles 'from where
he made his acceptance speech is
the farm of McNary Fir Cone. The
fair grounds where he was greeted
by the multitude has been a favorite
spot with him throughout the years,
for being a practical farmer (and
successful one) it has been the plea
sure of the senator to mingle with
others farmers hundreds he calls
by their first name and discuss the
problems of agriculture. Out of
these ramblings around the fair
grounds at Salem have come ideas
and suggestions which during Mc
Nary's career in the senate have
developed into farm legislation.
Oregon state fair grounds, there
fore, was a most appropriate back
ground for this farmer candidate
for vice-president to receive is of
ficial notification.
License Revokafs
At All-Time High
The number of driers' licenses
suspended and revoked during the
month of July reached an all-time
high for the state of Oregon when
suspensions and revocations totaled
177, it was announced by Earl Snell,
secretary of state, today.
The July total this year is an in
crease of 94 or 113 percent over the
July total of 1939. The previous
highest month was October, of 1937
when revocations and suspensions
totaled 175.
During the first seven months of
the year a total of 973 drivers lost
their licenses in this state, compared
to 692 for the same period last year,
an increase of 40 percent.
Of the 177 cases reported for the
month of July, 107 were revocations
and 70 were suspensions. One-hundred-two
of the revocations involved
persons convicted of driving while
intoxicated. For the year to date,
revocations for driving while in

Eastern Oregon College of Edu
cation, La Grande. (Special) All
teacher-training graduates of the
1940 class at Eastern Oregon College
of Education have already secured
teaching positions for this fall, ac
cording to an announcement made
today by the placement service of
the college.
In addition to the 100 percent

recent survey made by the state
system of higher education revealed
that 86 percent of the Eastern Ore
gon College graduates of 1938 and
1939 are still in the teaching pro
fession. Those not teaching at the
present time are for the most part
women graduates who stopped tea
ching following their marriage.
The 1940 graduates, 35 of whom
were women and seven men, have
been placed in schools in 10 differ
ent counties of the state. The coun
ties, with the number of graduates
in each county, are as follows: Ba
ker county, five; Coos county, one;
Grant county, one; Harney county,
three; Hood River county, one;
Klamath county, one; Malheur coun
ty, -nine; Sherman county, one; Uma
tilla county, seven; Union county,
six, and Walowa county, six. One of
the graduates will teach in Washing
ton. La Vem Baker, Boardman, is the
Morrow county graduate of the 1940
class who will enter the teaching
profession. Miss Baker will teach the
intermediate grades in the Vale pub
lic school.
