Woods deserves re-election
To the Editor:
I have followed with close
scrutiny and interest the contest
for the district attorney position
of Morrow County.
Both
candidates represent friends and
colleagues I work with in the
county. As I have read !he
literature and listened at public
forums,
it
has
become
increasingly apparent incumbent
Earl Woods is the most qualified
candidate. His credentials, his
record and his years of service to
Morrow County place him far
beyond his opponent.
Earl has earned the endorsement
of major law enforcement offices
in the county, including the
Morrow County Sheriff, chiefs of
police of both Heppner and
Boardman and virtually all of the
other officers in the county.
These endorsements have been
well-documented and expressed
during the campaign. They have
endorsed him because of his
character,
integrity
and
commitment to fight crime.
These relationships are vital to
successful prosecution.
1, like many of you, share a
Van Arsdale, plain
In Guy Van Arsdale I have
finally found a candidate who
combines intelligence and good
business sense with a genuine
commitment
to
political
principles which seem, these
days, to be honored more in the
speech-making than in the
observance.
Perhaps it is his prior avoidance
of politics that has saved him
from the wholesale arrogance
that is drowning American
government, or perhaps it is
simply his nature, but whatever
the reason, when this man says
he believes it is the duty of an
elected official to respect the
wishes of the people- he really
means it.
He has the confidence to make
decisions, but also the strength of
character to adapt when the
public expresses a contrary will.
He is determined to make
government produce and is
experienced at accomplishing

To the Editor:
I have been a member of the
Oregon Association Chiefs of
Police for the past nine years.
During that time I have had the
privilege of working very closely
with Chief Douglas Rathbun.
Chief Rathbun has distinguished
himself by his leadership in the
Oregon
Police
Chiefs
Association.
He has served
several terms on the board of
directors and he has been
recognized by our association for
his statewide leadership in the
care of youth.
During my
relationship with Chief Rathbun
he has demonstrated himself to
be a hard working, dependable
and reliable individual.
Chief Rathbun has always
exhibited the highest ethical
standards in his relationship with
the chiefs association. Douglas
Rathbun is currently a candidate
for county judge of Morrow
County. I know that if elected,
Doug Rathbun would bring his
same ethical standards and hard
working dependability to that
position.
