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".
With a small vote contemplated
and the shortest campaign on re
cord, about 30 days, the "modified"
convention plan is losing prestige.
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.
