California Senator Answers
Query of Newspapers With
, Bald Statement Long
Enamored . of Roosevelt
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Oct. 14.
(AP) Replying to a telegram from
representatives of 70 southern Cali
fornia newspapers asking him to
make a declaration of support of the
Republican national and state, tick
eta. Senator Hiram W. Johnson, Cali
fornia progressive Repuollcan, said
today: "I cannot and will not sup
port Mr. Hoover."
Johnson has repeatedly criticised
administration policies. In a speech
recently before the California Feder
ation of Labor he attacked the gov-
ernment's relief and foreign debt
policies.
Shortly thereafter Franklin D.
Roosevelt, Democratic presidential
candidate, coming to California on
his campaign tour, quoted an extract
lrpm the JoNnson speech and praised
the California senator as "long a
warrior in the ranks of true Ameri
can progress."
Praise Appreciated
Roosevelt's remark brought a state
ment from Johnson In which he uald
the attitude of the Democratic can
didate was "in sharp contrast with
that Mr. Hoover has maintained to
ward progresslvism and progressives
in California. I personally Im
mensely apreclate what he said and
I am sure it is equally appreciated
by the progressive Republicans of
this state."
Johnson's statement to E. P. Clark,
and others, said In part:

The first report of the Mall Tribune
straw ballot, puts O. B. (Pop) Gates
leading the field by a huge plurality,
with President Hoover a close second.
District Attorney George Codding,
democratic candidate for re-election,
third; and Everett Beeson, republi
can candidate for sheriff, fourth.
The most significant feature of this
vote to date, aside from the demon
strated strength of Pop Gates, is the
surprising and entirely unexpected
sentiment for Sheriff Jennings, who
was defeated by Schermerhorn In the
democratic primaries. Jennings is not
a candidate at the election, there has
been no public mention of his name
In this direction, or as far as the Mall
.Tribune knows, no concerted effort
to have his name written in, on No
vember 8th.
Yet, on 48 ballots his name HAS
been written In, six times aa many as
Zundel, the Independent candidate
receives, and only 8 votes behind
Schermerhom, the regular democrat
ic nominee. An analysis of the votes
for sheriff shows that both republi
cans and democrats have written In
his name, but more of the latter than
the former. It Is certainly a great
tribute to the general respect tn
which Sheriff Jennings Is held, by the
people of this community regardless
of party.
There is another Interesting feature
of the race for sheriff. Many ballots
left the sheriff space vacant, and were
filled In with various expressions such
as "Don't like any of them," "Demn
ed If I know," or plain question
marks (?) or exclamations points
(I) Beeson however, appears an out
standing favorite In that field as he
is leading his nearest opponent Scher
merhorn, over two to one.
No doubt the greatest surprise to
most of this paper's readers (and
shared by the atraw ballot editor)
Is the great strength displayed by
President Hoover. Jackson county has
always been listed as one of the few
large counties In the state, that fre
quently goes democratic. There has
been a very general Impression it
would go democratic this year. But
to date the straw vote certainly
doesn't Indicate It. In fact It Indi
cates exactly the reverse, that Hoo
ver will carry the county hands down.
Before jumping to this conclusion,
however, it should be realized that
this Is the first count, that It repre
sents, the sentiment In Medford,
rather than In Ashland and rural
sections of the county. For while bal
lots from nearly every district in the
county, have been received, there
have been 20 from Medford to one
from outside of Medford. On the
other hand It la also true, that tn the
past Jackson county has gone In
presidential elections, as Medford has
gone, In nearly every Instance.

ROOSEVELT FOR

TO
Positive Duty of Government
to Meet Needs When
Communities and States
Unable to Do So, Is View
By Walter T. Brown.
ALBANY, N. Y., Oct. 14. iff) Oov-
ernor Roosevelt had added today to
his vlewa on the obligations of fed
eral government, the declaration tht
when communities and states are un
able to meet the unemployment re
lief needs "It becomes the positive
duty of the federal government to
step In to help."
Answering In a radio address last
night a question propounded by wel
fare workers, "Do you favor a sub-
atantlal Increase In federal relief out
lays during the economic emergency,"
the Democratic candidate for the
presidency aald:
"I am very certain that the obliga
tion extends beyond the states and
to the federal government Itself, If
and when It becomes apparent that
the states and communities are un
able to take care of the necessary
relief work."
Repeats Message of 1931.
Comparing the action he sponsor
ed to provide unemployment relief
In New York with the record of Pres
ident Hoover's administration, Mr.
Roosevelt reiterated a passage of his
message to the state legislature In
1031, which read:
"In broad terms I assert that mod
ern society, acting through Its gov
ernment, owea the definite obligation
to prevent the atarvatlon or the dire
want of any of Its' fellowmen and
women who try to maintain them
selves but cannot. To these unfor

GATESlOPEAK
OVER RADIO 6:30
O. E. (Pop) Gates will open his
campaign In Medford tonight with
an address over KMED from 6:30 to
6:40, regarding the issues in the race
for county Judge. Pop, as expected,
has already been the target of the
"mud allngera incorporated," and,
while he will not descend to their
level, and sling mud at them, he
will expose some of the most flagrant
falsehoods against him, which have
been circulated recently In tho coun
try districts. The latest Attack, Is
directed at Pop's administration as
mayor of this city, when he pulled
this community out of financial dif
ficulties and, thanks to hla leader
ship, placed It on a sound business
basis. The people of Medford who
were here then know this, but the
people In the country don't, and It
la particularly to them that Pop will
talk.
Following this radio talk Pop will
address a meeting at 8 p. m. tonight
at Vie Grange hall in Phoenix. Those
who want to get the facta and the
truth, regarding this county Judge
race are urged to tune in on KMED
at 8:30 tonight. Gates will also de
liver radio addresses at the same
hour October 21, October 34 and No

President Hoover, after retiring early

night, with more than 1,000 people
still waiting to shake hla hand, to
day made an early morning appear
ance with his right hand bandaged.

"The President said he was perfect
