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.
