Suit for $10,000 damages for
alleged injuries sustained in a
stump pulling accident ' near
Ashland last January 13, was
filed in circuit court yesterday
by E. E. Dyer, against Ashland
Branch of the First National
Bank of Portland. Attorneys
William P. Lord and T. Walter
Gillard appear as counsel for
plaintiff.
Dyer alleges in the complaint,
he was employed by the defen
dant bank to pull stumps on a
tract of land three miles south
of Ashland, with a stump puller.
A link in the chain broke, it is
cited, causing Dyer to suffer a
broken right leg. He further
alleges his knees, as a result of
, the accident, will be permanent
ly stiff.
The complaint asserts that
the accident was due to the
alleged failure of the defendant
to -properly inspect the chain for
defects, and further alleges vio
lation of the Employers' Liabil
ity Act.

Swastika a Jewish Emblem?
To the editor:
I wonder if Hitler knew,
when he adopted the Swastika,
that he was using an old Jewish
religious emblem? I quote Web
ster on the subject:
"Swastika: an ancient Jewish
religious symbol resembling a
plus sign with each point mark
ing a right angle made by an
added short, straight line, the
emblem of the Nazi party in
Germany."
Yours truly,

Says "Home Building" Is
Hurting Landlords
To the editor:
Part of your editorial of
Thursday's Mail Tribune, stat
ing that "home building in the
U. S. increased 37" interests
me very much and I want to
comment on it.
This increase is largely due
to the fact that our national
government is making home
building loans to any Tom, Dick
and Harry that can show that
AT PRESENT they have jobs
that pay a salary, otherwise ab
solutely irresponsible. Anyone
with a salary can get a home
by this method, that is way be
yond their means to maintain.
Then they can get the full
equipment to furnish that home
on the "dollar down and a dol
lar when you can catch me"
plan. This works fine as long as
the salary holds up, but let any
thing happen and "pouf," away

'CONVICT PARADE' IS
FEATURE OF CAMPAIGN
IN HUEY LONG'S STATE
New Orleans, Jan. 12.-
Gubernatorial candidate James
H. Morrison's "convict parade"
on broad Canal street last night
blocked downtown traffic for
two hours and drew a Mardi
Gras-like crowd of 100.000.
The greatest political throng
in the history of Louisiana, jam
med from store front to store
front, chuckled, cheered and
Euffawed as it saw its leadine
state politicians caricatured in
convict stripes.
Morrison, 31-year-old Ham
mond attorney, is one of four
"reform" candidates trying to
smash the old regime of the late
Huey P. Long in the Democratic
primary next Tuesday. Seeking
to continue the administration
power is Governor Earl K. Long,
brother of Huey.
Many of the top lieutenants
of the Long organization have
been indicted in the federal and
state scandal investigations, in

REELECTION AS
JUDGE

belief, plans to seek the nom
ination for county judge.
Hoi Race Foreseen
If Coleman forsakes the of
fice of assessor in an attempt
to become county judge, the
contest is likely to develop into
the hottest race in the county.
Earl B. Day is the encumbent
and there is talk that Commis
sioner Ralph Billings, also a Re
publican, is flirting with the
idea of running in the primary
for the judgeship nomination.
I. E. Schuler announced def
initely today he would be a
Democratic candidate in the
primary for county judge.
For the state legislature
the Democratic high com
mand at the moment is depend
ing upon Moore Hamilton, news
paper editor, and Harold H.
Brown, real estate and insur
ance agent, to carry the banner,
Schuler and Brown are noviti
ates so far as running for pub
lic office is concerned. Hamil
ton, on the other hand, is a
veteran and considered a good
campaigner. He has served a
term in the lower house but was
defeated for the senate in 1938
by George Dunn of Ashland.
Dunn has held he office so.
long, how ever, ho was looked
upon as a sort of permanent
fixture in the senate and so
Hamilton's defeat was not view
ed as a serious set-back under
the circumstances.
Mr. Schuler, resident of Med
ford since 1920 and a Democrat
since his first registration, has
had much experience in dealing
with people of all walks of life.
He served on the Medford city
budget committee under Mayor
E. M. Wilson, has been identi

Taught Here
For a year after coming here
in 1920, Mr. Schuler taught his
tory and debate in the Medford
high school. Prior to that he was
professor of history at Hamlin
university, St. Paul. He holds
a master's degree from the Uni
versity of Minnesota.
Also mentioned as a possible
Democratic candidate for coun
ty judge was Mayor T. S. Wiley
of Ashland. Stumbling block to
Mayor Wiley at the moment was
said to be his resignation as a
Republican. It was reported he
came to Medford this week to
change his registration but in
stead changed his mind.
Sweeney Candidate
County Treasurer Ralph E.
Sweeney stated definitely yes
terday he would be a candidate
again this year. A Democrat,
Sweeney was elected to his first
office in 1936.
Kenneth G. Denman, young
Medford attorney, has been
mentioned as a possible Repub
lican candidate for district at
torney. Another young Repub
lican barrister considered by
many to be ideal for the job
of district attorney is Frank J.
VanDyke of Ashland but friends
say he is not interested. Care-
ful observers believe Van Dyke
could go far in public life it he
wanted to make the effort and
did not listen to poor advice
while on the way up.
Dems Have Dark Hone
The Democrats arc supposed
to have a dark horse in tow to
run for county clerk. Republi
can Clerk George R. Carter, a
hard man to beat, has already
announced his intention to run
again.
Ray Schumacher, Medford
grocery store owner, is expected
to file on the Democratic ticket
for county assessor. He is re
spected as an alert campaigner
who has many friends in prac
tically all circles despite his pri
mary defeat by Sweeney in the
race for the treasury nomination
in 1936. Democrats hold Sween
ey to be unbeatable and be
cause of his strong victory in
1936 he is projected as the
party's anchor man on this
year's county ticket.

Ashland orchardist, will be run
ning mates on the Republican
ticket for a return trip to the
state legislature. McAllister has
served two terms and there is
a general feeling he can get
the speakership if he returns.
In order to cinch McAllister's
victory and thus assure him the
speakership post, according to
rumblings in the political sub
stratosphere, the Republicans
are anxious to eliminate all op
position. In order to attain this
end, Republicans would have to
get the Democrats to endorse
McAllister or to let the post go
by default. And to get to that
point in political collusion, there
would have to be a lot of horse
trading.
At any rate perennial office
seekers still have a lot of time
to decide on what Jobs they
want to run for. The primary
election does not come off until
May 17 and candidates have
until April 1 to file their in
tentions. April 1, be it remem
bered, is still April Fool's day.
