Heppner Gazette Times, December 6, 1 945 5 POLITICAL MANOMETERS Republican and democratic state chairmen have called meetings of I their county chairmen in the 1st congressional district to be held in Salem to consider plans for the special election Jan. 11 when a suc cessor to the late Congressman James W. Mott will be -elected for a 10-month term. Political grape vine has it that the objectives of the meeting was to hold down the field and if possible concentrate on one candidate from each party, who must be designated on the bal lots as independents. The kingma kers in both parties are cooling off on any plans that resemble old con vention methods. If any selection or indorsement is made loosing dis gruntled candidates and their friends will have no party loyalty ti rally around for the whole setup must be labeled "independent".

Lew Wallace, democratic nation al committeeman, has indicated his party will not use the petition plan that requires the signatures of 3896 registered voters, but will nominate by the assembly plan. In calling his meeting for Dec. 15 he asked each county chairman to bring 25 other voters to make the 250 required to constitute a legal assembly.
