XfEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. rEDFORD- OREGON, FT? THAT. APTCTL 15, 193a. PAGE FIFTEEN DEFEAT FOR PUD Aspirants Who Had Public Power Planks in Platform Have Wind Taken Out of Sails by Recent Election B PAIL W. HABVRY, Jr.. SALEM, Aprt. 16. (AP) Primary candidates who have public power planks In their platforms had some of the wind taken out of their sails y when voters overwhelmingly rejected the proposed people's utility district in seven northwest Oregon coun ties. More than naif the candidates advocate public power distribution, but now they might realize that some voters, at least those in north west Oregon, don't feel that way about it. A week ago it was apparent that power and labor would be. the two major Issues in the campaign for state offices, but now It looks as though labor la the only big Issue remaining. Martin Cites Record In the Democratic gubernatorial ' primary campaign, Henry Hess of La Grande claims the support of la bor organiTfttlona and the Orange. Oovernor Martin, emphasizing that he is "not anti-labor but antl-van-daj," chooses to stand on his record In hia war on labor terrorism. O. Henry Oleen of St. Helens has charged the governor with playing politics by waiting until "Just be fore the primary to begin the labor gangster roundup." The eight Republican gubernato rial candidates have not yet out lined their positions on' the labor question. In general. Republican candidates for all offices favor economy In gov ernment, while Democrats advocate various things. Most of them favor cheap power. President Roosevelt, Governor Martin, the Townsend old age pension plan and maintenance of law and order. - The gubernatorial candidates in both parties have assured the voters of a 'clean campaign, but there are Indications that there might be plenty of mud thrown before elec tion day on May 20. The Salem, Oregon, Sta teaman staff has four members who would like to be statesmen. Charles A. Sprague. editor, and R. J. Hendricks, columnist and for mer publisher, are- Republican gu bernatorlal candidates. Harold G. Pruitt, circulation man ager and president of the Oregon Republican club. Is a candidate for the state house of representatives. while Ralph Kletzlng, advertising manager. Is running for. Salem city council. Tuesday will be the last day on which Oregonlana may register for the primary election. At the last count, on February l. there were 323.000 Republican and 300,000 Democrats. If the Democrats have a, majority for the primary; which la doubtful, it would be the first time since territorial days. Democrats now are the closest they have been to the Republicans In many decades. Borne of the slogans adopted by candidates of both parties might cause some voters to look twice. The slogans will appear on the ballot after the candidate' names. Here are some Republican slogans: Use less jackass and more horse sense in government. Peace, progress, prosperity, econ omy, order. Justice. Excelsior! Ore gon must lead the world. For economy and efficiency; we have too many laws. Republican by choice. If it'e for the people I'm for it. No promises all performance. A square deal for the taxpayer the forgotten man. More Jobs. The flatter the platter, the fewer the soup. Fourteen cents is too much for ten cent milk. Will oppose any salary raise, or privilege legislation. Following are some. Democratic slogans: An American: the only lam I ever recognize Is Americanism. Justice to all, special privileges to none. Reduction of taxes, and adequate pensions and relief. Liberal old age pension: lessen taxes. Break grip of the milk trust. Get honesty and efficiency in state government. Dring the New Deal to Oregon. Work for everybody but grandpa. Men to match our mountains. A public servant, not a medicine man: why not? Stamp out evil of "bad checks.'

Price of the Rogers company, director Tor the Lions club big musical show, "Hit It Up," said today in commenting upon the extreme Interest being shown by local artists in the forthcoming pro duction, to be presented at the senior high school auditorium the nights of April 19 and 20.

"With such fine organizations as the gleemen. accordion band and Junior symphony orchestra billed for specialty numbers. I don't see how the show can miss." Mr. Price, who has directed similar productions in all parts of the coun try, gave much of the credit for the fine rehearsals and organization of the accordion band to Mrs. LIHa Pu rucker of the Baldwin Piano Shoppe. who has donated her time, energy and store space for rehearsals and general improvement of the band.

The meeting of the anatomslsts Is being held In conjunction with the meeting of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists. Dr. Charles R.

New York City, declared in another report of the anatomists that lnter marrlsge between two persons from widely separated races of mankind may result in physical deformities of chfldren. 1 It is possible, he declared, for such children to have upper and lower Jaws so unmatched that they would be unable to bite or chew their food. Such possibilities result from the fact that each part of the body develops from different genes, or factors of heredity, inside the cell. When these genes are shuffled up in an Inter- Plenty of policemen were provided at the Beaux-Arts gallery in Paris when the Surrealist International Sa lon was thrown open to visitors.
