MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON. TUESDAY. JUNE 19. 1934. PAGE THREE NAME COMMITTEE; The Jackson county Democracy held a meeting laet Friday at th Hotel Medford, perfected their coun ty organization and pawed a reso lution declaring there was no dis rupt Ion In the ranks. J. Emmett (Moso) Barkdull resigned as precinct committeeman from the North Rtver slde precinct. The estrangement of Barkdull, It was declared, was due to general disgust at the way things showed up In Jackson county and not to any lack of faith in the "New Deal," or President Roosevelt. He la with the national organization but not with the local pilots. The Democracy or Barkdull Is one of the landmarks of politics In Jack son county, and he yielded to no man In the staunchness of convictions. He has been a valiant worker for success when Democrats were scarce and had no chance of success, and his resignation, while not exactly a bombshell, Is akin to Dr. J. M. Keene . suddenly breaking forth In oratorical glorification of the Oregon primary system. Last spring George J. Car stens, a Democrat for SO years, reg istered as a Republican to show his disgust with county leadership, he said. Further evidence of the deep taar. mony prevailing is attested In the fact that a number of rural precinct- men came to the meeting with snlck erees i their sleeves If a, certain candidate bobbed up for any office. The intended victim did not run for anything so there was no disoortk The following were elected to the county committee: R. O. Stephen son, Medford, chairman; William Grenbrcnner, Ashland, secretary; Dr. Charles T. Sweeney, Medford, chair man; Attorney A. E. Reames, Med ford, state committeeman; Lewis Ul rlch, Medford, congressional committeeman. Society and Clubs Edited by IrOa Fewell E This is the final day for the filing of a petition for a rehearing In the case of Gordon L. Schermerhorn, former sheriff, under a three-year sentence in state prison for convic tion of ballot theft. . The next step, according to the district attorney, if the petition la not filed, is the issuance of an order of commitment on the mandate of the supreme court, directing that Schermerhorn be removed to the pen itentiary. Executive clemency will then be the only hope of the long time well-known valley resident, who came upon evil days when he align ed himself with L. a. Banks and E. H. Fehl, local agitators, now state prison Inmates for their criminal ac tivities. Lifelong friends, the court and state authorities have character ized Schermerhorn as the "dupe and tool" of the two. For many years Schermerhorn was a highly regarded and exemplary cit izen with a wide acquaintance among old-time residents of the county. He has been at liberty on 97500 bonds since last August, when sentenced. DEPUTY LEACH HURT IN CRANKING AUTO Deputy Sheriff Ed P.
