Congress Visits

field, democratic candidate for
nomination as United States con
gressman from the fourth Ore
gon congressional district, was
a Medford visitor Friday. He was
accompanied by Mrs. Swanson.
while here Swanson conferred
with democratic leaders in re
gard to his campaign. He has
covered almost all of the fourth
district on his present trip, he

Swanson said he is Impressed
with the rapid growth of Med
ford in the past 10 years, and
added that he will again visit
Medford before the May primary
election. He is 39 years of age,
not 30, as previous press releases
had stated. Mr. and Mrs. Swan

didate. He contended that his
opponent in the. primary elec
tion, Dave Shaw, Gold Beach,
is unqualified from the stand
point of residence, experience
and accomplishments.
Cites "Short Reiidenca"
"It is impossible for a new
comer to understand the prob
lems of agriculture, forestry,
manufacture, and labor, as prac
ticed in the state of Oregon, in
the short span of two or two and
a half years residence here,"
Swanson said.
"Book knowledge is fine when
augmented with practical know
ledge," he said, "But booi know
ledge divorced from the practi
cal application is a very
inadequate crutch for a congres
sional candidate to lean upon.
Swanson was to speak in Lane
county Saturday and in Linn
couty today.
