ELECTION TIME REMINDER
BETTER THAN SPEECHES
WASHINGTON, June 30. This
summer the United States will be
overrun with congressmen seeking re
election. From Passamaquoddy to
Pasadena, the fellows whom Ambrose
Bleroe once described as "members of
the lower house In this world, with
small hope of promotion In the next"
will be bellowing, sweating, baby
ktssing and generally behaving In a
noisy andjunalghtly fashion.
For the sake of the public peace
and the serenity of their own minds,
it's too bad that other congressmen
don't learn the system of the Honor
able George Holden Tlnkham, repre
sentative of the tenth Massachusetts
district for the past twenty-four
years. This summer, Tlnkham will
make no speeches, buss no babies. He
will go abroad, perhaps to England,
to study the perfidy of Albion; per
haps to Africa, to slaughter lions;
perhaps to Ispahan, to purchase Per
slsn rugs. And he will return only
to see the count of his own large ma
jority. George Tlnkham Is one of the
sights and mysteries of the capital.
His long gray beard, hi beady eye,
the constant disarray of his dress
these give him an aspect of amiable
eccentricity, which Is only increased
by his habit of consuming three ten
derloin steaks at a sitting, and lead
ing the hotel orchestra with his fork
between mouthfuls. But these are
the obvious Tlnkham peculiarities.--...
What everyone wants to know
about Tlnkham Is, how does he do it?
How does he. a Republican, carry a
normally Democratic district, carry It
by an Increasing majority at each
election, and without visiting It,
shaking hands In It or speaking In it?
The answer to this puzzling ques
tion Is to be found In the Tlnkham
system, summed up In the Tlnkham
motto. "Tlnkham and service." Other
New Englanders have been Ingenious.
The late Representative Augustus
Peabody Garner, for example, constl
tuted himself chief mourner of Essex
county, endearing- himself to his vot-

Mrs. Elizabeth A. Crocker,
26, Is Victim of Acci
dent at Highway Inter
section North of City
Suffering from Internal Injuries
sustained In an automobile accident
at the old and new Pacific highway
Intersection near the Pine Cone early
Sunday morning. Elizabeth A
Crocker. 28, wife of Hervy Crocker
of 444 South Plr street, employe of
the city sanitary service, died in
Sacred Heart hospital yesterday after
noon at 3:14 o clock.
An autopsy performed this morn
ing by County Coroner Prank Perl
revealed Mrs. Crocker died of a
severed left renal artery, a stelat
rupture of the spleen and internal
hemorrhage. Strangely, she did not
have a scratch on her. Coroner Perl
said.
Deputy District Attorney George
Nellson stated there would probably
be no Inquest. He ssid that Mr.
Crocker, driver of the machine In
which his wife received her fatal In
juries, had assumed full responsi
bility for the accident.
Funeral Tuesday.
Funeral services for Mrs. Crocker
will be held from the Perl funeral
home Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock,
the Rev. Leonard Weston of the
Full Gospel church officiating. In
terment will take place In Siskiyou
Memorial park.
According to Investigating city
police officers, the wreck occurred
shortly before 3 a.m. Sunday. Crock
er, driving a Ford V-8 sedan south
on the old Pacific highway railed
to stop at the new Pacific highway
Intersection and crashed Into a
Chevrolet sedan operated by Melvln
J. Harper of Central Point, moving
north .on the new Pacific highway,
police reported.
The Harper auto was struck on
the right front wheel and side, and
so terrific was the impact that the
Crocker machine was swung com
pletely around and headed back In
the direction from which it came.
police said. City police called to
Crocker to the .hospital, where all
attempts to save her life proved
futile.
Others Unhurt.
. Mr. Crocker was uninjured. Two
passengers in the back seat of the
Crocker car, LaDena Glass- of 318
Ashland avenue and Dutch Welch
of Medford. were also uninjured. Mr.
Harper, lone occupant of the other
machine, also escaped injury, al
though his ear was badly damaged.
As the two cars crashed together,
Mrs. Crocker was thrown violently
against the front and side interior.
The shock rendered her unconscious
for a few seconds, but she regained
consciousness and remained that way
almost until her death.
Crocker, crushed by grief, told
Deputy District Attorney Nellson
he was driving about 35 miles an
hour and forgot all about the stop-
street Intersection until he entered
the new highway. He said he saw
the Harper car and applied his
brakes in an attempt to avoid the
collision, but that it was too late.
He took all blame for the accident.
Deputy District Attorney Nellson
said.
Enroute Home.
Mr. and Mrs. Crocker and their
two passengers were returning from
the home of friends on the Midway
road, and Mr. Harper was also on
his way home when the crash oc
curred. Mrs. Crocker was born at Locks-
burg. Ark., Sept. 7. 1911. She spent
her early life and received her edu
cation there, and was united In
marriage to Hervy Crocker at Boka
homa. Okla., January IS. 1928. They
had lived In Medford for the past
two years.
Besides her husband, she la sur

TO
REED'S SUCCESSOR
AS PEACE JUSTICE
The governor and not the county
court Is charged with the responsi
bility of appointing a Justice nt the
peace for the Gold Hill district to fill
the vacancy created by the death of
H. D. Reed, attorneys here said to
day. The county court had been con
templating naming a successor.
Oregon laws were amended In re
cent years to pass the appointive re
sponsibillty from the county court to
the governor, attorneys said and Dep
uty District Attorney George Nellson
concurred. Only in the case of a tem
porary vacancy, such as would be
caused by Illness or absence, would
the county court have authority to
make the appointment, the law pro
vides. It was understood in political cir
cles that the Democratic county cen
tral committee will recommend the
appointment of W. H. Ferguson, Oold
Hill city recorder.
Because of the vacancy, a new Jus
tice of the peace must be elected In
the fall. Both the Republican and
Democratic county central commit
tees are to nominate candidates for
the post. The appointed Justice would
serve until January 1,
