Let's All Be On Hand
We are coming into ihe home stretch of one of
the noisiest political races we've experienced in
Oregon in many vears and vTe're certain that prac
tically evervone, witnesses and participants alike,
will be ready for the peace and quiet which will
decend on November 3. The silence will be nearly
complete, broken only now and then by a quiet
sob or two from some quarters or an occasional
joyful whoop from others. Yes, the day after an
election is always a let-down ... a day when most
Americans look back over the fireworks of the
previous few weeks with at least a semblance of
logical retrospect. It is then that they ask them
selves a lot of serious questions and give them
selves quite a few pretty reasonable answers, too.
Of course hindsight is much better than fore
sight but one reason we give ourself some reason
able answer that day is that the "heat" is off and
we're not being bombarded with arguments and
opinions and beliefs.
It has occurred to us that it would be a great
imulant to more logical and careful voting II tne

"dav" we have been talking about could come the
day before election rather than the day after A
one-day truce, in effect. Hindsight wouldn't be
quite so good, but at least we would have one day
of quiet in which to resolve all the claims and
charges and promises, to sift the truth from the
fiction, and to decide Issues within our own minds
without the help of biased propaganda and last
nil nute claims.

they may be) about the idea and see if we can get

President Eisenhower made a trip to Ore
gon to request the voters to re-elect "my good
friend, Senator Guy Cordon." Let's be fair.
Give Ike the men he needs to carry on his
progressive program. Ike got us out of war
He is bringing our boys home. He has in
creased social security benefits. He has re
duced taxes plans further reductions through
increased government efficiency. More jobs
are being provided through peacetime pros
perity not the blood money of a war boom.
All in less than two years' time. IKE asks YOU
to RE-ELECT SENATOR GUT CORDONI
Senator Cordon is NOW at the peak of his
usefulness to Oregon. In the Senate, and
only in the Senate, does a small state like
Oregon have equal voice with the more popu
lous states. We cannot afford to lose Oregon's
only effective voice in the U. S. Senate.
As chairman of the Interior Committee
Senator Cordon has a key role in considera
tion of western power, irrigation and flood
control projects. He is a high ranking mem
ber of the appropriations committee, chair
man of subcommittee on interior appropria
tions, member of the subcommittee on rivers
and harbors and member of the joint commit
tee on atomic energy.
Since 1946 Senator Cordon has increased
the funds for federal power projects in this
area from 4.7 to 27.5. Nearly one dollar
out of every three now comes to the Pacific
Northwest due to Cordon's efforts.
A VOTE FOR SENATOR CORDON Ii a volt for
EISENHOWER'S PARTNERSHIP PLAN creating
payrolls and prosperity NOW by encourag
ing the development of hydro-electric power
through EVERY source Federal, Private
and Public. MORE dams for MORE
power for MORE jobs. We need them
all!
SENATOR CORDON is hard working,
effective, respected and admired by
both Democrats and Republicans.
That is why he is able to do so much
for Oregon. You can hav CONFI
DENCE In Cordon I Voto for a man
yog can trust!
Cordon's opponent, the ambitious journal
ist, has shown by every action, by every writ
ing, by every speech that he would knife the
Eisenhower program at each opportunity.
He is for greater government expenditures
which means higher taxes. He is for greater
centralization of government which means
less individual liberty.
Cordon's opponent would have no stand
ing, no seniority; just another useless vote.
He has shown by his absences from vital roll
call votes in the State Senate more than
300 absences in three years that he does
not have a deep concern for representing the
people. One of the three worst senators in
attendance at the 1953 session, Senator Cor
don's opponent has demonstrated that he is
a lone wolf, not interested in team play.
This Portland writer is for federal-power-or-nothing.
This philosophy would leave us
just that nothing.
Senator Cordon's opponent admitted in a
letter to the Oregonion April, 1951, that "Pol
itics with me is strictly a sideline." He said
he was "primarily interested in writing and
journalism." And he has admitted that he
wants to go to the United States Senate to
get material for book. Of what value is
this to Oregon?
BEFORE you believe campaign charges by
CORDON'S opponent a self-confessed po
Utical prevaricator read what he wrote about
himself in political campaign in 1947: "As
long as the business of rounding up votes
dominated my thoughts . . . TRUTH became
NOT THE SOLE TEST. And I was seek-
; ing only minor office . , . what if I had
; glimpsed ahead the prosect of a United
; States Senatorship?"
