Speaking before the county Republican Central Commit tee, Bellamy devoted a large portion of his talk to his opponent in the Nov. 2 election, Democrat Chuck Bennett. "Chuck is a viable candi datehe's a good speaker.and he's got lots of time for campaigning," allowed Bel lamy. "But he does not have the rural background needed to represent the people of eastern Oregon." Bellamy, a Culver High School vo-ag instructor, and a former resident of Heppner and Boardman, said that Bennett won the May primary election against incumbant Jack Sumner because citizens were "voting against Sumner, not for Bennett." Democratic primary winner Chuck Bennett each gaining two votes. Bennett's final margin of victory in the primary was 83 votes. It was discovered several days after the primary that a precinct in Wasco County had transposed Sumner's votes to Bennett, significantly de creasing Bennett's lead. Sumner will be billed for costs incurred during the recall effort. Show in last week's issue. The rider pictured was Anne Van Schoaick.

Bennett denied Bellamy's allegation, stating that he moved into the district more than two years ago. He told the Gazette-Times that he moved to Gates from the Salem area not because of potential political considera tions, but because "I like the area I was able to buy a home along the Santiam River..." Bellamy, who ran unsuc cessfully against Sumner dur ing the last election, added that Bennett is "trying to portray the image of a conservative, when he's really quite liberal." The 28-year-old Jefferson County Republican portrayed himself as a staunch sup porter of free enterprise, who Sponsored By Holly Rebekah Lodge Prizes will be awarded This Message Oregon; Gene Siguaw, engine foreman, is upset over intervention by state and federal governments into local affairs. Bennett, Bellamy said, fa vors a state income tax to provide property tax relief. Such a move, said the Repub lican candidate, "would take all the money out of the hands of the local people" and leave the state in charge of the pursestrings. "I agree that property taxes are too high," he added, stating that he favors a sales tax exclusive of food and medical services and supplies to offset the burden. Money from such a sales tax, he continued, would not be chan neled into the state's general fund. Rather, it would go for specific programs clearly ear marked in a state budget to reduce the property tax load. "The state has got to be fiscally responsible," Bellamy said.
