if Bulk of Party Switch
Due to Desire to As
sure Primary Election
Rv PAUL W. HARVBT, Jr.
BALKM. April 20. (P) Oregon's
registration fltrurea. which gave F-
mibltcana a alight majority on the
ba&ls of complete unofficial report
from two-thlrda of Che 3fl counties,
nuzzled political observers here.
The switch In many counties to
Democratic apparently was caused oy
the Intense Interest In the DetnO'
era tic gubernatorial primary, In which
Oovernor Charles H. Martin, warrior
against labor terrorism, la opposed by
Henry L. Hess of LaOrande, labor
candidate, and O. Henry Oleen of St.
Helena, aelf-atyled "farmer - labor"
candidate.
- pro or Antlf
. The Martin forces wera wondering
whether the newly-registered Demo
crats were pro-Martin or anti-Martin.
There were report that the State
Federation of Labor and the Oregon
Commonwealth Federation, both arch
foes of the governor, marshaled hun
dreds of Republicans to county cl erica'
offices to change their registration
so they could vote against the gov
ernor In the primary.
But there also were rumors that
many Republican supporters of the
governor registered Democratic
they could vote for Martin.
Of the first 24 countlea to report,
Democrats gained In 22, while Re
publicans gained In five. New regis
tration records were established tn IB.
In 1938, when a record primary
registration mark was established. Re
publicans led, 233,000 to 200.000, but
this year a new record Is certain.
It la expected that the Republicans
will maintain a slight lend, but Demo
nrata will come the oloseat to getting
the lead since Oregon became a state
In I860.
Multnomah Knljtma.
Multnomah county Is the hardest
county of all to figure out. Regis
tration Increased from 161,883 to 174.
286 over 1 036, but the Democrats
gained 23.000 while the Republicans
loat 800. This would Indicate that
Democrats won most of the new vot
ers and that many changed their reg
istration. Portland la the center of
the governor's fight against labor
leaders, but it Is Impossible to de
termine whether the new Democrats
are for or against him..
Two weeks ago, when the prlmat7
campaign began, the governor said
ho would conduct a clean, quiet cam
paign, and would "Ignore" his op
ponents. But this week he said be would
change his tactics.
"I'll smoke my opponents out until
they wlah they never had been In a
campaign. When this la over, they'll
know they've been In a fight," the
governor said.
At first the governor apparently
believed his opposition would not
amount to much, but now he real lues
he must fight.
At this week's board of control
meeting, the governor became irri
tated when other board members In
stated on prolonging the d I scum Ion
of a trivial matter.
He got up and stalked out of the
room, saying:
"I haven't got time to waste any
more time on this. I have too many
other damned things to worry about."
Now that President Roosevelt has
announced the public worka admin
1st rat Ion would function agnln in his
campaign to end recession, state of
ficial are climbing on the band
wagon.
The board of control has started
to apply for new grants, the first he
ing the proponed $'200,000 tubercu
IcAls hospital tn Portland. The PWA
would spend 990,000 and the state
M0.0O0.
Most states, Oregon Included, are
unable to resist a oh a nee to get fed
eral money, even though state funds
must match it. State Treasurer
Rufus C. Holman, board member,
doesn't aee things that way.
He protested against matching fed
eral money, asserting "every time we
accept a federal grant. It cost the
taxpayers money."
Major-den. Oeorge A. White, com
mander of the 41at division of the
national guard. Including Oregon,
Washington, Idaho, Montana and
Wyoming, has been "missing" for a
month, and his aides claim they don't
know where he la. He left here with
Brlg.-Oen. Thomas E. Rllea, his as
sistant, and neither has been seen
since.
No one can figure out why their
activities are shroudrd in secrecy.
Thoughts on the Capitol beat: We
thought the governor would be msd
at his chauffeur for running away
with his speech In Portland the other
day. hut be waa highly pieasrd. He
said It was a good thing because the
Willamette society wouldn't listen to
a prepaied speech anyway. Reporters
who wrote the prepared speech in ad
vance were left holding the sack;
agsin. . , . Labor leaders forgot some
thing when they supported Atty.-Oen.
I. H. VanWlnkle in his supreme court
campaign against Justice Hall a
Lus. They didn't remember that If
VanWlnkle Is elected, the governor
would be able to appoint an attorney-general.
Mho might be Ralph
Moody, the governors' special prose
cutor In the labor terrorism cases.
