"No, I'm running with
Denny Smith," Roth said with
a laugh, at mention of a fellow
Repuhlican who is also in the
congressional race. Roth and
Smith would vie in the
primaries May 27.
"I'm campaigning on get
ting hack to the basics." Roth
explained. "There is too much
government in our daily
lives."
Roth came by way of his
philosophy, he said, as a
rancher, farmer and miner.
He was born in American
Falls, Idaho. f2 years ago. He
makes his home now at
Durkee, 24 miles south of
Baker.
Rolh passed through Hepp
ner enroute to Pendleton last
Wednesday, on his way home
from a speaking engagement
in McMinnville. He spoke
there before the Republican
Women's Club.
As a candidate for GOP
nomination. Roth is fighting a
lone battle. He has no cam
paign manager as yet. and can
count only $f9 in contribu
tions. His expenses have
amounted to $734.
"If a candidate feels
strongly enough to run for
public office, he should give
the best of his time and efforts
instead of looking for large
contributions," he said.
Roth's one previous hid for
election was several years
ago. when he ran for mayor of
Athena. He was not elected.
"I don't have to have four
million dollars like some of
these presidential candidates
do." he said. "If you receive
large gifts, you're not going to
be your own man. you won't be
doing your own thinking."
Roth said he has done some
mining on his property but has
riln into "a lot of guff" from
the Department of Environ
mental Quality. He added that
ranchers and miners have
"had a hassle" over bureau
cratic regulations imposed by
both the U.S. Forest Service
and the Bureau of Land
Management.
Does he support the "Sage
brush Rebellion"? "You'd
better believe it!" he ex
claimed. The reference is to a
movement in several western
states Nevada, in particular
where a majority of the land
is still federally owned. The
argument goes that because
the land has not been sold and
regulations are imposed in
various land uses, the 12
western states are less "so
vereign" than the other states.
Roth was critical of a
federal act passed in 1976 that
he regards as particularly
restrictive. He termed it an
"organic" act that requires
"permits for this, permits for
that," along with a horrendous
amount of red tape.
Roth describes his qualifica
tions as:
A citizen of the United
States, born at American
Falls in 1917; a disabled
veteran of World War II, in
.which he served on Saipan, in
the Pacific, as transportation
manager for the 148th Army
General Hospital; a rancher;
and farmer of Baker County;
a member of the Oregon State
Grange, Durkee Grange No.
653: a member of the National
Rifle Association; a heavy
equipment operator on log
ging roads, miner, soil conser
vationist, insurance agent,
building contractor, assistant
Boy Scout leader and Little
League coach, a family man
with a grown family, and a
Protestant. "
