EARL FEHL IS
. OPENHLS FILES
Ex-Mayor Pipes Asks Can
. didate For County Judge
Reprint Certain Editorials
In Pacific Record-Herald.
A. W. Pipes, former mayor of Med
ford, today challenged Earl Fehl,
candidate for county Judge In the
Republican primaries, to open the
files of his newspaper, the Record
Herald, to the people so that certain
views he has held toward local issues
and local citizens In the past might
be generally known.
Mr. Pipes would psrtlcularly like
the editorial of Mr. Fehl on the
Klngsley murder case, also on law
enforcement, and bootleggers. He
believes the people are entitled to
know bow the candidate for Judge
has regarded such Important ques
tions In the past, and therefore can
be expected tn re&ard them In the
future.
"I challenge Mr. Feftl," said the
former mayor, "to bring forth these
articles and again publish them, so
that the voters may know Just where
he stands on matters of such public
concern. Isn't this a fair request to
make of a man who wants to hold
the most Important office In Jackson
county?
"I have no personal enmity toward
Mr, Fehl. I have no wish to harm
him by insinuations and Innuendoes
and make none. All 1 ask are facts
which are matters of record. His
stand and his utterances In these
matters are a matter of record. In the
columns of his newspaper, and I
simply ask that be make that record
known.
"The county Judgeship la one of
the most Important, if not THE most
Important office to be filled at the
coming election. The people are en
titled to all ttie facts concerning
every candidate for that office. They
are not only entitled to know Mr.
Fehl's views on public issues In the
past; they are entitled to know his
business record, his record on public
question in his own home town.
"What Is his business record? Let
the people look up that record.
Where did Mr. Fehl stand more than
a decade ago w.hen Medford was in
serious financial difficulties and her
bonda were In default? The city
administration at that time devised
ft refinancing plan which saved the
city's credit. This plan waa later
approved by ft vote of the people. .
"Where did Mr. Fehl stand on that
question? He opposed the plan which
saved hie city from dlaaster. More
than that, he carried his fight to the
courts. He says he la ft dear friend
of the taxpayers. Waa he a dear
friend of the Medford taxpayers? Let
the people figure out bow muoh Mr.
Fehl cost them. How muoh did bis
fight on the water system coat them?
How much did his atttitude In other
public questions cost them?
"Have we as taxpayera and prop
erty owners any right to believe that
Mr. Fehl, If elected Judge, would ex
ercise any better Judgment In pro
tecting the Interest of the taxpayera
of Jackson county than he did the
taxpayera of Medford? Is he the type
of man to select to administer our
property affaire or the affairs of our
loved ones? Is he the type to select to
run our private business, or to sit In
judgment over our boys and girls In
the Juvenile court?
"By his record of the past let us
Judge him. I say this with no ani
mus or malice, but because I believe
that where ft candidate for public
office has ft publlo record, that rec
ord should be known. In the file of
Mr. Fehl's Record-Herald la his rec
ord. I challenge blm to open the
files of that paper through republi
cation In the newspapers of the
county. If he refuses to do ao then
the people can draw their own con
clusions." ,

BALLOT PUG
:Y
The commercial printing depart
ment of the Mall Tribune haa
printed and delivered to the county
clerk the official and sample bal
lots for the May 20 primary. Some
ballots are being mailed out to
absent voters and the others are
being arranged, together with the
election supplies, for delivery to
the Judges of the 08 precincts In
the county. Sample ballots can be
secured, at the county clerk's of
fice. There were 23.100 official and
sample Republican ballota printed;
1 1,800 Democratic; 34,200 Judiciary
and 260 for Foots creek precinct,
voting on whether stock will be
allowed to run at large. A total
of 69,510 ballots.
The law requires that the names
of candidates on both the Repub
lican and Democratic ballota be
shifted so that the name of each
candidate, for each office shall come
first on an equal number of bal
lots. This requires an endless amount
of work by the printers and this
year there were over 400 shifting
of names and changing precincts
on the two ballots.
For the first time since the new
law waa passed, the names of can
didates for Judiciary offices appear
on a separate, non-partisan ballot.
The size of the ballot Is 4x8
Inches and each voter will receive
a Judiciary ballot.
