: : : : 1 i V rOURTEEN MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuetdnr. April 22. 19S2 Republican Candidates Tell Views at Monday Luncheon; Ask Approval of Electors Republican candidates who I filled by a medical man since he have opposition in tne coming primaries were given a chance to state their views at a luncheon meeting of Jackson County Re publican Women yesterday noon at the Jackson hotel. About 75 attended. Judge J. B. Coleman, candi date to succeed himself in the office of county judge, was the first to speak. The Judge re minded his audience that he had been holding public office for 36 years, and said this was his 16th campaign. Duties Set By Law The duties of the county judge and commissioners are set by law, the judge said, and added that the three county executives are merely a board of directors running a multi-million dollar corporation which is the county. "That corporation belongs to you," the judge said, "and you should see that efficient officials are elected to run it." The judge's opponent, Robert L. Brantly, was not present. R. G. Fowler, candidate for the office of assessor, said he believed there should be equal ity in assessments and in taxes, and that "everyone should be on the tax rolls." Fowler mentioned his 24 years as Jackson county agent, his later work as ap praiser for the First National bank, and said that if elected, he would run the office of assessor with efficiency and justice for all taxpayers. Promises Efficiency Following Fowler was John Tizekkcr, candidate for the same office and formerly a deputy assessor. He spoke of the rising costs of operating the assessor's office and promised efficiency in administration and "to work tor the general welfare of the county" if elected. W. P. Tucker, a third candi date for assessor on the Repub lican ticket, was not present. Mrs. Tacker explained that a previous committment made it impossible for him to attend. Answering his own question of "Why am I running for of fice?" Walter Nunlcy, candi date for district attorney, said he had been educated under the CI bill and therefore felt it his duty to serve the county in some fashion. Nunley said he came to Medford because he liked the people and the climate, but that "there are some, things I don't like about this wonderful coun try," adding that the people could change these things if they agreed with him. Reads From Oath Nunley read from the oath which attorneys take when they are admitted to practice in Ore gon, pointing out that lawyers wear to uphold the constitution and the laws of the United States and Oregon. "I wonder how many attorneys read and re member this," he said, and con tinued by saying "All laws should be enforced not just some of them. If the people don't want them enforced, then the laws should be changed." "If I'm elected I'm going to enforce the laws," he declared, and added that miiny people "don't like what I'm saying, many prominent, wealthy and socially known people." Nunley spoke of gambling, and said that it could become a major problem in any section if laws are not properly enforced. He also referred to the cost of running county offices, and said "if laws are not enforced, the cost is too high." Nunley closed by saying that "maybe I won't be here after election." Reviews Career When his opponent Paul Havi land, present district attorney was introduced, he opened his talk by saying "I Intend to live here the rest of my life, and practice law here whether I'm elected or not." llavilnnd re viewed his career as a former FBI man and director of the Dcloware state police, and then spoke of tile great growth of this county and Ihc "complex du ties' 'of his office. Pointing out lhat it is the duly of tlie district attorney to "protect the innocent, prosecute the guilty and furnish legal ad vice to all county officers." llav ilaud said his office had last year handled 170 felony cases, 152 misdemeanors and pro cessed several thousand traffic violation cases, llaviland added Hint because of the type of in vestigation" carried on by his office, it had been necessary to bring only one felony case to trial, many offenders realizing that the cases were so complete trials would be useless. Nuedi Public Aid He pointed out that the dis trict attorney can not sign crimi nal complaints, and that knowl edge of wrongdoing must be brought to his office "by people like you. "Many people misunderstand the function of the district at torney," he said, and believe that he should be a "knight on a white horse." Haviland closed by saying he would "fulfill his duties without fear or favor" if elected. Dr. M. P. Vogel, candidate for county coroner, read excerpts from the law setting forth the coroner's duties. The doctor said he believed the office should be could sign death certificates and thereby relieve the county health officer of this task, in some instances. The doctor fur ther declared that since a med ical man is better trained to recognize death from unnatural and unusual causes, he would make a better coroner and added that it was possible "many murders go unknown." Contradicts Opponent Carlos Morris, present coro ner seeking reelection, said he believed Dr. Vogel had mis represented the facts. Morris de clared that coroners may not order autopsies, that the district attorney must do so, and said that the investigation of cases where there is unusual or un natural death is properly done by law enforcement agencies, and not the coroner. He added that the county health officer is required by law to certify to death when no physician is pres ent at the time of death. In his talk Dr. G. A. Dierdorff. candidate for the house of rep resentatives, spoke of the "can cer of corruption" and said that there is evidence of corruption in all levels of government. He also spoke of the "disease of socialistic thinking" and added lhat too many people have the "gimmes." Flaws in System He spoke of hte. spread of subsidized business and agricul ture, and pointed out that if the people tolerated these they could expect their taxes to go up. The doctor also mentioned flaws in the welfare system and said "we are now helping to pay for Great Britain's social istic mistakes, and we shouldn't have to pay for the same thing here." E. H. Mann, who served In the legislature last session, stated that he was asking for reelection on his record, declar ing that he had been honest and faithful. Mann said that just as an efficient and honest em ployee would not be fired from his job, an efficient lgeislator should be returned to office if he desired reelection. The candidate said he was "no crusader" and had no special in terests but would judge all legis lation on its merits. Confesses Mistakes Last speaker on the program was Robert Root, who also is seeking reelection as represen tative. Root said he had found the legislature highly interest ing and educational. He con fessed that he had made many mistakes as a freshman legisla tor and had been "sandbagged" a couple of times because of his inexperience, adding he be lieved he would be able to serve the county better during a second term than would a newcomer. Root also pointed out that he would be assured of more im portant committee appointments because of his seniority if re turned to the legislature. Mrs. Ben Stafford, president of the club, presided, and Mrs. Stephen G. Nye, vice-president, Introduced the speakers. She also Introduced a number of county officers and candidates who are unopposed in the primaries.
