who will fight for those convic-
tions
Robinson is the only candidate
at present in the field opposing
incuriibent Sen. Wayne Morse.
His statement was issued to Port
land papers yesterday before he
left for Medford. He said his
statement was occasioned by
questions of many people who
have asked what he would do if
another candidate filed against
Morse.
Would Give Support
"If I feel that man is better
known throughout the state than
I am," Robinson's statement
said, "then I will be glad to
withdraw in his behalf and will
give him all financial support
possible, and will work for his
election with the same integrity
as if -I were continuing the race
myself."
Up state political observers
have felt that Robinson's can
didacy actually strcngthed Sen.
Morse's chances for reelection.
Robinson being relatively un
known throughout the state, they
reasoned that Morse would have
little difficulty in defeating him.
And they add that the fact that
Robinson is an avowed candidate
for the post would deter other
better-known and more exper
ienced men who might other
wise seek the senate seat.

Circuit Judge H. K. Hanna
yesterday sentenced Roger Wil

ing to $369. He had been re

tween January 10 and 12 of this
year he obtained an additional
$75 with fraudulent checks.
Yesterday s sentence was the
culmination of many months'
