Three Candidates, Maybe
Four, Seek Sheriff s Job
There were three avowed can
didates for the position of sher
iff of Jackson county at the end
of last week, with the status of
another possible democratic can
didate still In doubt.
Bert Simmons .Central Point,
who had announced the week
before that he would seek the
democratic nomination in the
May primary election, withdrew
earlier last week after being in
formed by the county clerk's of
fice that he was not eligible to
become a candidate because he
had lost his registration by fail
ure to vote.
But a letter addressed to the
Portland Oregonian by a state
representative last week some
what beclouded the issue. How
ard Morgan, representative from
the Joint Clackamas-Multnomah
district and democratic candidate
for state labor commissioner,
said he had written the law gov
erning the situation, and added
that in his opinion Simmons was
fully eligible to seek election on
the democratic ticket, provided
he had been a registered demo
crat before his registration
lapsed.
There had been no word from
Simmons up to late Saturday
but it was understood that demo
cratic party leaders had been en
couraging him to challenge the
county clerk's ruling on the mat
ter. If he were to do so, and if
he were successful, he would be
the fourth candidate in the field.
Those who have announced
their intention of running are in
cumbent Sheriff Howard Gault,
and Ray Marks, a real estate
and insurance broker, both re
publicans, and Delroy Aldershof,
a city police officer and demo
crat. C. Lyall Fidler, who has also
been prominently mentioned as
another possible candidate, said
Saturday that he has decided
not to enter into condidacy for
the sheriff's post in the primary
election. He cited as his reasons
the fact that he was last week
elected to the presidency of the
Medford Realty board, that the
state convention of realtors will
be here next September and
that Ray Marks had filed for the
republican nomination.
He made no comment In re
gard to his previous statement
that he might file as an inde
pendent candidate following the
primary election.
