He has even, at one time, been associated with the socialist party, so the argument we gave in our editorial of three weeks ago apply more directly to him than many other Democrats. In addition, we believe Hatfield to be a much better administrator and better qualified for the position of secretary of state. SIC UNANDER Sig Unander has demonstrated his ability to serve the people of Oregon as state treasurer. His is not a job that is glamorous or frequently in the headlines, but he has done the work well. His opponent Is able, but Unander deserves reelection to the post. WE PICK BOB THORNTON We deviate from our list of Republicans to recommend Robert Y. Thornton for re-election as attorney general. He has made some mistakes In his nearly four years in office and early in his term it appeared that possibly the Democratic party was guiding his actions, yet he has showed, particularly in his handling of the extremely dif ficult and touchy Multnomat county vice probe, that he is working for the best interests of air the people of Oregon. His opponent, Carl Francis, has recommended that the attorney general's of fice be made appointive in effect a personal at torney for the governor. We disagree with this idea and we don't believe that it is in keeping with the idea of good government in Oregon. We recommend Thornton's re-election. JOHN HOUNSELL FOR SENATOR John Hounsell of Hood River has served two terms in the Oregon senate and has done an excellent job. His respect among his colleagues is unquestioned, and he has a good understanding of the problems of this section of the state. His district has only this year been extended to in clude Morrow county, but he deserves the support of local voters. ALLEN TOM KNOWS MORROW COUNTY Charles Allen Tom has served this district very well as state representative and his experience and understanding is needed in the house. His knowledge of tax and education problems is ex tensive and the legislature needs the benefit of his experience. He should be returned to office. Three weeks ago this newspaper made its poli tical position obvious when it ran an editorial entitled "Why I am a Republican." In most cases the arguments presented at that time apply to individual candidates for public office, but this week we want to briefly say why we believe in these men. To present a full discussion of each is prohibitive in a weekly newspaper, but a short discussion is in order. WE LIKE IKE Dwight Eisenhower has lead America wisely and well during the past three and one-half years. He has brought peace and the closest thing to peace-time prosperity we have seen in our life time. Some segments of the country have not fared as wellas others, but no reasonable-thinking American can expect a perfect job in one term or in two, for that matter. We believe the Re publican policy will ultimately give America and all of its people the greatest opportunity it has yet had to live peacefully and prosper indepen dently. DOUG McKAY Wayne Morse has long since ceased to be use ful to the state of Oregon and its people the only job that he was sent to Washington to do. Doug McKay can again bring respect back to the state's delegation to the senate, and we need his ability and understanding. SAM COON Representative Sam Coon has given Oregon's second district excellent representation in the House. His opponent, Al Oilman, has offered nothing constructive in his entire campaign he merely mirrors his bed-partner, Wayne Morse. If Ullman's policies are Morse's, we want nothing to do with either him or them. Sam Coon de serves to be returned to the House of Representa tives. ELMO SMITH Governor Elmo Smith has given Eastern Ore gon its first governor in many years, yet he Is a big enough man that he will not let strictly East ern Oregon ideas prejudice him in the decisions he must make as head of the state. He is able and sincere and deserves to be elected to a full term of office.

I was very much in accord with your editorial "Why I Am A Re publican" I can say in no un certain terms why I am a Repub lican and not a Democrat. I have a great amount of sympathy for the good, well-meaning Demo crats who are being mislead by socialistic and communistic sym pathising politicians who have no foresight of how wonderful real freedom Is or how important it is that we keep this freedom. It is easy to yell big business, but the biggest business in the world Is the Kremlin in Russia. The next largest Is in Washington D. C. It Is true General Motors, Chrysler, Ford, Standard Oil, General Electric, Westlnghouse and Du Pont are all large, per haps too large, but they have given us many scientific Inven tions and useful appliances be sides millions of jobs. We have our anti-trust laws and can hold these concerns In check. They will never sell us out to Russia. I have no fear of that. But, on the other hand, will In time of emer gency help us little fellows against the onslaught of the PINKS. When the politicians who are full of half truths and falsehoods get all power away from the states, the cities and the indivi duals, get control of all utilities, timber, oil, housing, medical care etc., and get It all centered In Washington D. C, they are then on third base, all that is left for the home run is for them through high sounding false promises to get enough of their group elected to the offices In Washington D. C. then take over without firing a shot. Then they can hand It over to Russia or set up a com munistic state here in America and there will be absolutely noth ing we can do about it. Communism can never take America over till it gets all power vested in Washington D. C. This trend is something to watch. Eisenhower is trying to get the power of government back in the hands of the states to which it belongs. Wars In the past have been fought on battlefields. Now they are being fought in the minds of men from Trojan horses planted In our midst and in the midst of other governments, using decep tive terms, words mis-applied, bringing about dissention and causing them to dis integrate from within. I like to feel independent, earn an honest living and feed myself, not have the government take from me all I can earn with one hand while feeding me out of their spoon with the other, hand. This seems to be the trend of the Democratic party and I am afraid of it. It is dangerous in that it points toward socialism and a seemingly carefree state with all freedom forever gone. I am going to vot e for the man I can trust and who has something to offer besides half truths and slander against some one else. I am going to be careful how I vote, defend the right on which this country was founded, and the right to choose how I will wor ship and how I will support my self. A lover of American freedom, I. R.

The shot's been fired and off they go, And it promises to be the biggest show The nation ever saw before; In this generation or days of yore. I'h referring to the G. O. P., And the Democratic race you see The elephant will win, we hear some say, But listen to that donkey bray It is a fact, his legs are stronger, And his stride they say Is a little longer. And where I'm sitting In th bleachers, It seems to me these foamin creatures . Are really straining with all their might, And slinging mud both left and right. To view the scene it makes me laugh, While sitting with my better half To see the donkey slip and slide And slinging mud both far and wide. I must confess, for it is true, The elephant I see is slinging mud too. And 'fore this muddy race Is o'er, Well witness slime and mud galore. Mud, In fact, is filling the air And spattering candidates every where. Till just about every candidate Is loaded down with realestate. Should we believe all we hear, About the candidates far and TREATING AGAIN? Cats? Goblins? Witches? Just take your pick! They'll all be around for A treat or a trick!

Viola Parker, Elvih, Ellen and Edith Ely of Morgan were callers in Heppner Sunday afternoon. near, No candidate would be elected, For every one would be rejected. The party hero we know as Ike, Whom many, many people like, Might be defeated very badly By that persistant man called Adlai. Some people think that man called Estes, For vice president is much the bestes. Then again that man called Dick, Estes might find it hard to lick. And so the race goes on and on, From day to day and dawn to dawn. It makes us dizzy, both Rose and me To watch the Demo's and G. O. P., With flying colors go whizzing by, And mud spattered banners held on high, They go 'round and 'round and 'round the track, Some on the elephant and some on the Jack. There's Adlai, Estes, Dick and Ike, NOTICE OF ELECTION On the 6th day of November, 1956, at the Irrigon School, an election will be held from 8:00 A. M. until 8:00 P.

From a long time con servation stand point the pro! gram is sound. The recent wire received from Washington, D. c stated that the final date for ac cepting 1956 reserve contracts are extended through November 30, 1956. There are a number of instan ces where the conservation re serve might apply well. One is in the fields expensive to farm. Some of the reason for the ex pensiveness might be shallow, deep, low-yielding, rocky, irre' gular shaped, wet in spring, iso. lated, alkali, low soil, weedy or eroding.
