McCoIl Sticking to State Issues
When Tarn McCaJl. Repuhllran randldate for Secretary of
State, appeared tn llfpner Tueaday ntght. he emphaatied hla
Intention of atlrklnji to atate lasues throughout hla campaign.
Thta he U doing despite efforta of hla petnocratic opponent.
Sen. Alfred Corbett. to draw him Into embroilmenta of the
national presidential campaign.
From our point of view, McCalt'a declaion U aound policy.
It la logical to aaaume that voters are more Interetted In
choosing a man on the basla of hla qualifications for the office
he aeeka than in hla party Involvement or hla agility at political
maneuvering.
One can detect a WYarinesa on the part of the rank and
file of the people towards political manipulations. There Is a
higher echelon of those politically sagacious who have mastered
the mechanics of politics so that they know what strings must
be pulled, what strong candidates must be endorsed, and whose
roattalls must be clung to In order to get the most votes.
But the ordinary voter gets tired of all this. Listen to the
derisive comment from television viewers whose home enter
tainment diet is limited to the national conventions during
the times they are In progress Republican and Democratic
alike.
Is it too naive to believe that the voter wants a man who
Is going to do the most good In the Job he seeks?
Even those men who approach the stature of statesmanship
often degenerate to some degree of pseudo-sincerity at their
party conventions. Gov. Mark Hatfield delivered an excellent
keynote address at the Republican convention, marking him
as a man of great stature, but he slipped Into the pitfall when
he Indulged In such phrases as "sweeping the hi-fi set under
the rug." (or similar words, reierrtng to the Boooy Bauer case.
Sen. John Pastore did a fine job for the Democrats, too. but he
Indulged In the same tactics when he chlded Gov. Hatfield for
"writing his speech for Rockefeller, delivering it for Scranton"
and added that the Oregon governor wound up being stuck with
Gold water.
Maybe our society Is such now that this is a necessary part of
the Big Political Game. Maybe the voter Is a pawn to be enticed
by tactics of sarcasm and Innuendo.
But It Is refreshing when an earnest office-seeker steps out
with a straightforward attitude and a strong program to present
Tom McCall Impresses one with his positive approach. For
Instance, he spoke Tuesday night of the alarming increase In
the rate of crime, now accelerating In the proportion of 5 to 1
over the rate of population Increase. As a member of the state
board of control, the secretary of state has a responsibility with
state Institutions. McCall has some definite proposals to offer
In meeting the crime Increase, among them the establishment
of a "Halfway House" as a work-study center for youngsters
whose behavior patterns seem to destine them for difficulty.
This state now offers little for youngsters headed for trouble
short of Hillcrest School for Girls and MacLaren School for
Boys.
McCall has a rare background of public concern and human
itarian work. This led to his receiving the Brotherhood Award
of the Oregon Regional Conference of Christians and Jews
earlier this year. He was chairman of the Portland Multnomah
county Metropolitan Youth Commission; he settled a sitdown
strike at the Oregon State Penitentiary in 1950, negotiating
with a 14-man Inmate committee; he served as executive
secretary of legislative interim committees on Indian affairs,
welfare, public employees retirement, legislative procedure,
and sex offenses; he co-authored the report of the legislature's
labor-management interim committee of 1959-60.
McCall served two terms as president of the Oregon Prison
association, two terms as president of the Oregon Society for
Crippled Children and Adults, was a trustee of the National
Society for Crippled Children and Adults, and was secretary
of the Urban League of Portland. He is a member of the ad
visory committee to the State Division of Mental Health, the
boards of the Oregon Historical Society and the United Nations
association, the Oregon Council on Crime and Delinquency,
the Portland Interfaith commission, and the Portland school
district committee on race and education. McCall Is also on
the public relations committee of the Greater Portland Council
of Churches.
This gives some Idea of the scope of his activities. His ex
perience includes that of being administrative assistant to
Gov. Douglas McKay, and, of course, he achieved wide recog
nition for his work on television and in radio and newspaper
work prior to that
Tom McCall strikes one as a man of boundless energy, ex
ceptional capacity, keen concern, striking sincerity and out
standing ability.
His policy of a state candidate holding to state issues is
a commendable one. As he puts it, in the places where state
government falls short, "Big Brother," the federal government,
steps in, adding to the ever-increasing centralization of govern
ment. Fortunately, in men like Governor Hatfield, Secretary of State
Howell Appling and State Treasurer Howard Belton, Oregon has
had men of genuine motivation and sincere purpose as leaders.
McCall shows promise of distinguished public service with a
singleness of purpose to the Job at hand. Voters have the oppor
tunity to scrutinize his qualifications in the two months ahead.

The Fair-Evidence of the Bountiful
As one considers the amount of volunteer work that goes
into the staging of a county fair, he might wonder what mot
ivates these good people. Much of the work is of the drab and
wearying kind setting up booths, cleaning the quarters, pre
paring the barns, taking care of livestock, handling the tremen
dous amount of paper work necessary in keeping entries
straight and recording premium winners.
At the Morrow county fair, many of our workers and com
mitteemen serve year after year. Of their number, the majority
get very little recognition not so much even as getting their
names in the paper.
During fair week they are virtually confined to the grounds
and their own home schedules are sacrificed.
There are many in the county who appreciate what they
do, and yet a large number of others who appear indifferent
to this effort
The question has been in mind recently, "Why do they go
to this work and trouble?"
the answer may be In the expression of Giles French of
Moro, who came to visit the Morrow county fair Tuesday, and
talked of it with enthusiasm later.
"I know after going to a fair that there Is going to be some
thing to eat next winter," he said. In stating it that way, one
gets a clue to the incentive of those who toil to stage the fair.
"When we prepare the ground properly, we harvest abun
dantly," said the Sherman County visitor who has a facility
for v. p.)
Not to discourage Don, hut

is. Looks like the party still has
some distance to go. j
REPUBLICANS this year have
pretty much of a phonetic ad-
vantage all the way around.
"McCall" Is a name that lends
itself to slogans "All for Mc
Call." for instance. It's a little
hard to think of something
catchv lor Corbett
Irvin Mann is a natural.
"Mann's our Man," for instance.
His opponent, Martin Buchan
an, has a little tougher Job in
the slogan department.
Can't imagine Giles French
spending much time on such a '
gimmick as a slogan, since he
seems to have little time or pat
ience for such things, but he
might say. "French speaks Eng
lish." Ben Musa, the Democratic
Incumbent for senator, would re-
auire a little more thought.
Mayoe some ot our readers
could come up with some ideas
for the Demos. It will be interest-
in? to see what can be done
with "Lyndon and Hubert" for
the campaign buttons.
TURNER got to sloshing the
paint so fast on the Repub
lican headquarters that he mov
ed right over and did Turner,
van Marter and Bryant s build

set a bad precedent lor the party
painting buildings in an at
tempt to win votes, but we're
sure that Don did it purely out
of the kindness of his heart.

SATURDAY
AUG. 2
ANYONE WHO happened to be
around at the time could have
had a good laugh while we were
taking pictures at the new rodeo
orlice Monday. We had Secre
tary Jack Locke, Chairman
Floyd Jones and Director Tad
Miller that we wanted to catch
by the door of the new building.
Trouble was. those big irri
gation sprinklers were going to
condition the grounds and settle
the dust and they allowed only
about 15 second intervals be
tween revolutions, dousing the
side of the building with each
swipe.
Poor Jack zlgged one time
when he should have zagged,
and he caught it full, thereby
becoming a thoroughly soaked
bank officer. Well, the three
were about as restive as skittish
young colts, but we managed
to get their pictures between
swipes, getting pretty well
laundered ourselves in the pro
cess.
ONE LADY who deserves a
medal from the rodeo is
Thelma Smethurst who plays an
important part in working out
details of drawings, helping
keep books on the entrants, as
sisting with the smooth running
of events, and acting as timer.
If you can't get an answer to
a question from anyone else.
