PAGE TEN 'MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, Q-REGON, TUESDAY. OCTOBER 11, 1938. SPRAGUE PLEDGES E DEAL AT REPUBLICAN MEET Gubernatorial Aspirant Out lines Policies to Large Gathering Holman, Mott Also Speak. narlea A. Sprague, Republican nominee for governor, pledged n efficient and competent business aa- mlnlstratlon In an address at a party rally In tha aenlor high school audi torium laat night. It waa tha largest political rally held here In yearn, the main floor of the auditorium being practically full. Tha audience waa attentive and reaponetve, punctuating the talka with frequent applause. Other ipeakera Included Rufua Holman, atate treasurer and candi date for the U. s. senate, and Re pre eentatlve James W. Mott, candidate for re-election to congress. Kenneth O. Denman, county chairman, pre alded. Local candidates aat on the stage and were Introduced to the assemblage. "X propose keeping down the mid 41 of the road," Mr. Sprague de clared. "I have little patience with meddlesome minorities, with extrem ist on either the right or the left. I am not a .candidate for the new deal, but I am a candidate for a souara deal." Mr. Sprague atressed throughout bis talk that the running of a atate la a business of which the governor la the executive head. He pointed out that, counting the Independent ln , come of various departments that la expended, the governor of Oregon haa supervisory administration over 90,000,000 each blennlum.- "That la a sizeable sum, a large business that needs honest, capable and efficient admlnlatratlon," the candidate said. Mr. Sprague promised an adminis tration that was strong snd efficient as well as humane, economlcsl with out being penurious. He asserted that under hla administration no one would go In want, that necessary relief would be carried on but with out encouraging the "moocher and the grafter" to live a life of ease. Tha nominee warned against letting relief administration fall Into tha hands of "grafters and racket eers, declaring that under auch cir cumstances there would be plenty for the grsftera, but precious little for the needy. "But relief will not solve our eco nomic problems; we must provide Jobs," Mr. Sprague repeated from prevloua talks. "We must mix brains with our natural resources." As Gov. Charlea H. Martin had proposed In hla unsuccessful pri mary campaign, Mr. Sprague sug . gested thst Jobs could be created by encouraging new Industries In the tat and by finishing rsw materials Into finished products within the atat. Instead of exporting the raw materials to be manufactured else where. Mr. Bpragu also asserted that em ployment could be Increased by putting an end to Internal labor attire, "employers, workers and the publte are "fed up" with labor atrlfe that puta men out of employment, he aatd. "Labor haa Its rights. Ubor organi sations have their rights, but all organlratlons, whether labor or em ployer organisations, must respect th law of tha atate," Mr. Sprague declared. Asserting thst voters should take Inspiration from the atate's motto. "She files with her own wings." Mr. Sprsgu said thst dictation should not be taken from Washington. "I'm not a hitch-hiker to public office, I'm not trying to thumb a rlda on the coattail of someone In Washington," he concluded. Mr. Holman asld he did not op. Pom all the alma of the present ad ministration, but asserted It was time to consider other plana for their arrnmpltshment. Mr. Mott reviewed national legls Istlon relating particularly to this part of the state, repeating In the main the talk he gave at the Kiwania luncheon earlier In the day. Mr. Mott Hated thst the defeat of the court reform plan snd the reorgsniMtlon bill had restored to congress tha legislative function "It had surrendered to the executive depsrtment." At tha conclusion of the talks a man In the audience asked the can didates their stand on the Townsend old-sre pension plan. Mr. Holman declared himself In favor of tha plan and Mr. Mott apoke on a bill pend ing before congress, which he said ha helped to frame. The bill, he explained, fixes no definite pension but provides for the distribution to ellgiblea of a fund created by a 9 per cent transaction tax. Mrs. C. I. Hopkins, speaking for Pro-America, told the part women might play In government. DEATH COMES TO Theodore H.

(VP) A railroad labor witness charged today the demand for a 1ft per cent wage reduction came from "a small Inner group of so-called Investment bank ers symbolized and dominated by the private banking hcAise of J. P, Mor gan 4s Co." W. Jett Lauek, economist for rail road brotherhoods, urged President Roosevelt's emergency fact-finding board to look Into the financial his tory of railroads before deciding upon the wage reduction against which 1,000,000 workers have voted a pro teat strike. '"There Is an emergency, but not from the public or employes' stand point," Lauck aatd. "It Is an emerg ency for the private banking houses which have controlled the railroads, and which do not wish to be ousted from auch control In the future." J. Carter Port, chief railroad coun sel, strenuously objected to the con tents of Lauck 's statement, on the ground he waa "making an argu ment unsupported by facts." Lauck, carrying a foot -high pile of documents and papers, said he was merely summarizing In advance data which would prove his conten tions. Instesd of a wage slash, Lauck said, "bankers could easily maintain the solvency of the rallroada" with the help of government credit. CCC Enrollee Jailed For Theft Of Clothes Walter J.
