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.

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.

observed by Juveniles, but a few boy&

the Juvenile court. Most of the fire
crackers have been exploded outside

The sheriffs office which keeps an
eye on the suburban beer Joints of
the valley, reports issuing warnings
to proprietors not to serve beer to
youths who claim to be 21 years jM,
but are not. The proprietors are anx
ious to co-operate but In the hustle
and bustle of a busy evening, a minor
might slop by. Cases have come to
the attention of the authorities where
youth fooled the proprietor and the
law by having an older person order
for them. This Is an infraction of the
Knox law, and subject to prosecu
tion.

WE can't imagine our Post's 40 Bran Flakes
making quite such a change in anyone!
However, in all sincerity, we do want to say this
much, to everyone: If you happen to be feeling rather
"cantankerous" and out-of-sorts, it may be because
you're a bit run-down ... it may be due to a slug
gish intestine, caused by lack of bulk in your diet;
So why don't you eat Post's 40 Bran Flakes
every morning? It contains bran to supply that bulk -you
need, to help keep food wastes moving along
the intestinal tract . . . and to promote regular
elimination. It also contains other parts of wheat,
to supply that appetizing flavor. You'll love itt
Post's 40 Bran Flakes With Other Parts Of
Wheat is a product of General Foods.
