Twenty-Seventh Year MEDFOKD, OREGON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1932 No. 178. The Weather Forecast: Tonight and Wednesday, fair, but with considerable cloudi ness. Highest yesterday - 57 l.owrnt thin morning SS WIAIL TRI Comment the on Day 's News By FRANK JENKINS ACOPYRIOHTED dispatch from Washington asserts that Presi dent Hoover Is losing hla popularity on the Pacific Coast. If that asser tion is Intended to refer to the pres ent moment, this writer disagrees with It President Hoover 1 OAININO In popularity, If the talk; thla writer hears I any Indication. He began to gain, here In Southern Oregon, at least, some, three weeks ago, and has been gaining even more rapidly alnce his Dea Moines speech, which made an exceedingly favorable Impression. THAT doesn't mean, of course, that If the election were held now he w-juld carry Southern Oregon which la the only region with which thla writer la familiar. Indeed, the con trary la probably true. But there can be little doubt that sentiment la much mora favorable to President Hoover NOW than It was some three weeks ago. No one who talks to all klnda of people on every possible occasion can doubt that. IT THY la Hoover sentiment growing . among votera la it because of a growing personal liking for Presi dent Hoover himself? Probably not. President Hoover doesn't seem to be PERSONALLY popular. That la to aay, he Isn't the sort of person for whom you want to throw up your hat and yell. He seems to be almost totally lack ing In the kind of personal magnet lam that makes violent partisans out of people whom the possessor of this highly desirable quality has never even seen, QO THAT brings 'us back again to " this question: Why Is Hoover sentiment gaining If, of course, It really IS gaining? . . Tho answer must be thla. Because people believe It will be better for the country, and therefore better for THEM, If Hoover la elected. nicy must feel that. the election of Hoover will mean an Increase In confidence, which In lta turn will mean much better prlcca for what people have to sell, more business and MORE JOBS. That la about the only explana tion that seems to hold water. LEASE do not understand that thla writer la predicting the elec. tlon of Hoover. If Hoover la to be elected, sentiment will .have to change much more than It has changed ao far; for any candid and honeat ob. aerver must admit that at the pres ent moment Roosevelt la the favorite. But such changes have occurred before. People who remember the campaign of 189 are fairly unani mous In the opinion that in early October Bryan was clearly In the lead. Tet McKlnley was elected by a fairly aubstantlal majority. In other worda, between early Oc tober and early November there waa sufficient change in public senti ment to shove Bryan out of the lead and put McKlnley In his place. What haa happened before MAT happen again. TJERE Is an Interesting political fact: From 1878 to 1928, only ONE state In the Union haa voted the Repub lican ticket unbrokenly. That state la Vermont, which haa never wavered from Its Republican allegiance. AND here Is in equally Interesting political fact: Since 1878, only four of the atatee of the Solid South have voted Demo cratic without a break. These four state are Alabama, Arkansas, Geor gia and Mississippi. North Carolina and South Carolina have each voted Republican once South Carolina, oddly enough, In 1878 and North Car olina In 1838. Louisiana, also, voted Republican In 1878 and haa not repeated the ex perience since. OREGON, Minnesota, Iowa and Pennsylvania have failed to go Republican only once since 1878 In 1313. In that year Minnesota and Pennsylvania went Bull Moose and Oregon and Iowa went Democratic Washington, which waa admitted to Vie Union in 1889, haa gone Dem ocratic twice and Bull Moose once since that time. California has gone Democratic twice and has split lta electoral vote twice. I.frl Rider ReMralned V1SAL1A. Cal.. Oct. 18. (AP)--Fay Robert Smith. Lakeside.

A slight mountain foy and a "noma too good aim" of a, ao-30 rifle are responsible for the fact that Paul Jennings, deputy sheriff of Jackson county, la alive today. Instead of killed for a deer, is the tory brought to Medford y hla father. Sheriff Ralph Jennings, who returned last night from a hunting trip through the Ashland creek country about two miles from Wagner Butte. The bullet. fired from a hunter's gun. aimed at young Jennings, landed near his shoe. Jennings rose to his feet, losing any resemblance he might have had to a deer, while sitting, before a second shot was fired. Sheriff Jennings, his son and Char ley Dun ford, Jr., left their cabin yes terday and traveled a half mile down the trail before separating to hunt their favorite glades. Sheriff Jen nings took the high pitch, Dunford followed him. and Paul Jennings some distance further down the mountain. They continued with that forma tion for some time, then Dunford Joined Sheriff Jennings. They had stopped to rest, when they discovered Paul seated on a rock about 100 feet from them in the edge of sage brush, neighboring a clearing. A few minutes later they heart! the report of a gun and looked to see if Paul had fired. He, in turn, waa looking frantically toward them. They went to him and were informed that a bullet, which he removed from the dirt, had whizzed to his feet In per fect line with his body, coming he believed from the cliff above. Following the supposed direction of tho bullet, Sherltf Jennings came upon a hunter's track and followed him Into camp. The man, whoee name was not revealed by the shorlff, admlttod firing the bullet and fur- tner statod that he had aimed at young Jennings, thinking he was a deer. The same fog, which had ob- ' scured hla view, also interfered with hla aim, which had it been a little nearer, would have, without doubt, added another casualty to Medford'a hunting season record. The hunter said he had been track ing a deer, when ho saw the object, wnicn was Paul Jennings, move. He fired then saw Jennings rise to his feet, and knew he had shot at a man. He did not continue down the moun tain to Investigate the results. The case Is being Investigated b the sheriff and district attorney's of- ucw, n waa statod today. Whether or not charges will be filed was not revealed.
