D. C, NOV. 7. It I good thing the Republicans did not llnd out before election about the Eanta Claus com pa!j;n conducted by an AAA Held agent down In Mississippi. This fellow ap parently thought fee was Mark Hanna, Boles Pen rose and Matt Quay all rolled Into one. Weeks ago, he tent out to all cotton far mers In Mlsels Blppl a letter urg ing them to meet htm on certain dates at certain places to sign com pliance papers. Then, down at the bottom of the letter, he wrote postscript which stated. In part: MDon"t you think Uncle Sam Is tbout the best one of all our klnfolks? Mybe he Is a Santa Claus as well us an uncle. If you think well of him, don't talk about him, except to tell how good he has been tcT us. Mil Paul MaUon PEIEZ RUNS JOE DUNNE THIRD Mott and Pierce Returned to Congress Snell Voted Secretary of State All Measures Snowed Under Governor-Elect Extends Thanks to Oregon Voters That classic appeal was mlmeo' graphed on the official letterhead of the AAA. Headquarters here found out about It three weeks later. There was considerable excitement becauss Jt was Just what the Republicans were looking for. , AAA-era had visions of President Roosevelt being cartooned over the country as Santa Claus. They re called Al Smith's doleful prophecy months ago to the effect that "no body shoots at Santa Calus." and thought the two romarks could easily be tied together. The field agent was promptly epanked by wires and letters from headquarters. He was told to drop that postscript line fact. The Incident was kept strictly under cover. It was the narrowest escape the Democrats had In the pre-election campagn. Another thing the Republicans ovci looked was the campaign speaking trip made through New England by Securtles Exchange Commissioner Pecora. Such commissioners are sup posed to be Judges and not political campaigners. At lest that has been the unwritten law of the ICC. No one ever heard of an ICC-er making a campaign speech. Sometimes such commissioners practice a little poll tics on the sly, but never openly. The undercover effort to smoke out the White House In favor of a big public building program Is getting dense In more ways than one. There are a lot of projects In the blue-print stage which did not go In on the original PWA billions. Congressmen from those district have been told privately by building enthusiasts within the new deal that the only way they will ever get money for these projects Is to agitate for tre mendous new appropriations. In this gentle conspiracy, congress will be overwhelmingly In favor of pending all the money there is lu sight and some that Isn't. The pres sure on the White House for a mam "moth building program will be stronger than the pressure for the bonus. Now that the election is over, you will see the new dealers begin to open up. They have been sitting on the lid in all departments for the pst six weeks. Only necessary announce ments have been made. The White House passed the wot down the line rrauirtne that policy. Mr. Roosevelfst personal plans for the next two months afford a tip that there will not be a special ses sion of congress before the regu'sr session in January. He Is going f inspect the TV A and spend Thsnks Riving at Warm Springs, returning here around December l. oniy mw weeks will then remain before the holldavs will be upon him. Thei' have been hints around the White House that his next big move would come In his message to congresi. H's plana bear out these hints. By the Associated Press Steadily Increasing the lead of their standard bearer as late returns were recorded, democrats of Oregon had definitely placed Major-General Charles H. Martin In the executive chair at the state capltol, the first of their party to be elected governor since 1922 when Walter Pierce took hold of the sceptre of administra tion. The growing margin of more than 15.000 recorded for the retired army official showed he was In the lead in the 33 of the state's 36 counties and was followed next by Senator Peter Zimmerman. Independent can didate. Senator Joe E. Dunne, re publican, was trailing Zimmerman by approximately 6,000 votes. Ekwall to Congress Martin, who left a post In the na tional congress to run for chief exe cutive, had the "expressed Interest of the national administration, .al though his seat In congress was lost to a republican, William A. Ekwall. Republicans havo this fact and elec tion of other major state officials to their credit. Walter Pierce, democrat incumbent. in the second Oregon district was re-elected to congress over his op ponent, Jay Upton, and James W. Mott, who also served In the last congress was returned to represent the republicans from the first dis trict. He defeated R. R. Turner of Dallas. Ekwall in the third district was leading his Portland opponent. Walter Oleason by a safe margin. Democrats, while losing this one seat In congress, expressed enthusi asm over the victory In the race for chief executive of the state while Martin himself expressed his grati tude to supporters. He will take of fice January 14, the date scheduled (Continued on Page Three) PORTLAND, Nor. 7. (AP) Happy that the strenuous campaign had i been brought to a successful conclus-1 Ion, and refreshed by a few hours I of sleep, Charles H. Martin, governor-1 elect, prepared to give serious thought to problems of state which will confront him when he takes of fice next January. To the votera of Oregon General Martin extended his gratitude. He said: "After hearing a prolonged discus sion of public affairs, beginning with the primary election last aprlng, the good people of Oregon yesterday re corded their decision to support the president In his policy to restore material prosperity to save our dem ocracy as handed down to use by our fathers and to enrich the spiritual life of our people. "My deep " appreciation of the great honor conferred on me by my fellow clti7ns Is tempered by the thought of the great responsibility which goes with the office. As re peatedly promised you, I shall do my utmost to serve you. My gratitude goes out to my loyal supporters who have given so unstlntlngly of their time and enthusiasm In our long, strenuous campaign. "Mrs. Martin and I have traveled extensively throughout the state and to the state's fine people whom we met In such great numbers we ex tend our sincere thanks for their hospitality and consideration shown us. "In closing I urge now, that the political battle Is over, that all the good men and women of our state gather around me as their governor to promote the best material and spiritual Interests of all."
