NEWSPAPER PUBLISHERS ASSOCIATION ROBERT PENLAND Editor and Publisher 6RETCHEN PENLAND Associate Publisher NATIONAL EDITORIAL A Vo Cll-ATI ON 7 C Published Every Thursday and Entered at the Post Office at Heppner, Oregon, as Second Class Matter, SSTS and Grant Counties, $3.00 Year; Elsewhere $4.00 Year,Sing.e Copy 10 cents The Primary With the big day in Oregon's spring pontics coming up next week, it's about time to take a look at the list of aspirants and suggest a little weeding. It's not going to be an easy matter for any voter, either Republican or Democrat, to step into the voting booth and start down the list unless he has done a little prior examining of the sample ballot for this year's ballot .sets a record for size. The Republicans will be handed a sheet of paper 14'A by 21 inches and the Democrats will receive one but little smaller. Needless to say there is ample opportunity for a wide selection of candi dates for nearly every position, in fact, in some cases the selection is so wide as to be confusing. 50 persons aspire for the 10 positions as delegates from the state at large to the Republican national convention, and In the second congressional dist rict there are seven after the two positions. A little care should be taken by the voters in choosing their delegates, regardless of whether their personal preference might coincide with ours for there are eight on the list of 50 who used an old forgotten state law to file by petition which gives them an opportunity, if elected, o ignore the will of the majority voiu ui mu vi- gon in their voting at the national convention. Delegates who file by the regular met ho a re bound by state law to support the candidate chosen by the primary ballot. In actuality, all the eight are reported to be supporters of Senator Taft, whose name is not on he list of presidential candidates It is con celveable, but very doubtful that Taft cou d re ceive the Oregon nod by means of write-in. In which case little harm would be done ytt the election of uninstructed delegates would have a tendency to break down the intent and purpose f the Oregon primary law. One of those filing by petition Lowell Paget, is Senator Taft s cam paign manager for the jrtatfc. Some, if not all of the others are known to favor the senator. The eight who are attempting to evade the Oregon-pledged candidate" law are: Lowel Paget, M s Irene II. Gerlinger, John R. Latourette Jr., frvinr Rand. Robert A. Bennett, Phil Metsehan, ErrS G. Swigcrt and O. S. Balentine It our sug gestion that they be soundly defeated. To try to select 10 from the remaining 43, Balentine has filed from the second district, is , ' I wo f0el largely unnecessary, though, we hpe onX favor many of those who have declared KSves for General Eisenhower including Gov ernor Douglas McKay, Senator Wayne Morse and others A careful reading of the ballot statements should aid in selecting able delegates. From the second district our re comnrndation is Alfred F. Cunha, Umatilla county and II. H. IX Arm one I of Bend though all of the others with the HM-tion of Balentine, are able candidates who filed in the regular manner. In the choice of presidential nominees, we inve expressed our choice for Elsenhower on sev n 1 occa ions arid we still believe he is the one who X come closer to being able to oversee a J otS housecleaning in Washington than any K,.r m m in either party he has been quoit a '? s X su h Cleanup is a prime requisite for anv lnSm ng president.
