MEDFORD MATL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREOOX. WEDNESDAY. MAY IS, 19H8. PAGE THREE Wholesale Burglaries PORTLAND. May 18. (Detec tive Lieutenant T. T. Schulplus laid yesterday that William A. Goldsmith, 44, had been charged with burglary In connection with 66 house-break-lnga confessed orally. They can fry eggs on their wishbones SINGULARLY unneighborly is the disposition of the Motilones Indians who dwell dourly in the far jungles of Venezuela and that fart has just now set time back by cen turies. it it When oil drillers braved the tropic tangle of the Rio de Oro region to seek rich oil reserves, the Motilones welcomed them with fiercely resentful arrows. You may smile to think of these as bow-and-arrow days. But the oil men found an arrow was just as unpleasant a way to die as any. By radio they sent an SOS call for something just as obsolete as arrow or battle-ax. They wanted shirts of mail. Now they work safely in "iron kimonos" such as Richard the Lionhearted wore. In tropic heat they sizzle like a skillet. But the men have nothing to worry about except mosquitoes and snakes and fever. Pioneers of oil go into both the back-country of the world and the hinterland of time to the end that the public's sup ply of petroleum shall not fail. In 1595, mail-clad Sir Walter Raleigh received similar hos pitality from the ancestors of these Indians, or their close cousins, along the River Ori noco. He sought Manoa, a South American 1 Dorado.The modern mail-clad explorers seek a liquid treasure Sir Walter never heard of.

The Democratic organization, driven to desperation, ia requesting Republi cans by letter addressed to them and by editorials in the local paper to write in the name of Governor Martin, the Democratic candidate for Governor, as the Republican voters' choice. . This is to advise all Republican voters that the election laws are such that a Republican vote cast for Martin for Governor will be a total loss of that voter's vote, for such vote cast in the primaries cannot be counted for Martin as the Democratic candidate for Governor. The law prohibits it. The purpose of this Democratic plan is to take as many votes away from a strong Republican candidate as possible and in this manner accomplish the nomination of a weak Republican candidate and play into the hands of the Democratic party. Any Republican voter who casts his vote for Martin in the election this coming Friday will be wasting his vote. It will not be counted for Martin as the Democratic candidate. Don't be deluded into pulling chestnuts out of the fire for the Democratic party. Republicans don't need the advice of the Democratic party as to bow to vote. We have strong able men seeking the Republican nomination for Governor. Go to the polls Friday and vote your choice of Republicans for the Republican nomination for Governor.
