Republi can, for representative (28th district). Both are assured of election. Keen interest is beine shown In the race for Morrow eountv sheriff in which C. J. D. Bau man, Republican, is challenged by John Mollahan of Heppner, Democrat, and Jim Barnett of lone, Independent. Sheriff Bau man has been in office since January, 1929, serving continu ously but for a leave of absence during World War II when he served wilh the Navy.

Barnett lust recently resign ed his position as mayor of the City of lone, and Mollahan is a police officer for the City of Heppner. Of the seven measures on the ballot, five were referred to the people by the legislature and two were proposed by initiative petition. All are included in the sample ballot, which is a true facsimile of the official ballot except for the necessity of breaking It over to another page in ine paper, iome voters will tind that the names of candi dates will be in a different or der on their official ballots be cause law requires that each candidate's name be at the top of his group of candidates on an equivalent number of bal lots to that of each other can didate. Attracting greatest interest among the measures is the X property tax limitation (Measure No. 7). which has been getting strong support in some quarters but perhaps even stronger opposition. Another measure eettine con siderable attention is the "Beach Bill" (Measure No. 6) which would impose a lc per gallon additional gasoline tax for the purpose of acquiring pnvatelv owned beach properties by the state. une nonpartisan contest is providing a keen race, that of superintendent of public instruc tion.
