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

with growing international crises making it more
important than ever that the head oi mis nauon

understands them, and a man in whom other
nations of the world have faith. We believe the

The floating cylinder follows ground ir
regularities to get all the hay, even in such
tough raking conditions as rough ground,
ridges, and swales. The curved teeth lift the
hay into loose, airy windrows with leaves
inside, stems outside for proper curing. The
inclined frame provides extra clearance
Where volume of hay is greatest to guard
against leaf-shattering "roping" or com
pressing. You know the reel speed is always

maintain the correct raking speed regardless
of variations in the speed of travel.
