You did a nice job of Informing we the voter that there still is FREE COMPETITION In the selection of our particular Individ ual to represent us in his choosen category. It took a lot of your time, your evenings, your thoughts . . and a sense of pride to toss aside humiliation of defeat, to bring us a good choice of candidate Ideals. Maybe the best man DIDN'T win, but you did start the County to thinking about "Mr. Big" (The U.S. Government) and our selec tion was more sincere this year per haps than for the last 20 years.

As long as we can have "ELECTION REVOLUTIONS" we'll have Intelligent guidance for our pattern of life. Whether a new broom was Issued to every office at this year is unknown to the writer (that's me) of this article at this time, but if not this year, perhaps next election the eld brooms will get another brush up from tome new "Whisk" candidates. I think Politics li Ilka religion . . Its not a case to be fought ovar but a darn good thing to know something about, since you'll need the favors of one to live on this earth, and the favors of the other to get .through eternity. Its like arguing about racial discrimination to say the Democrats are this or the Republicans are that shucks, to me Its all the same, we're hu man beings, some good and some bad. I hope in being selected Mr. Candidate that you never forget our vote is sacred to us, and don't you abuse our good iudgement In selecting you, and in your decis ions of City or State, remember whose working for whom. In case your wondering, Dean's Pontiac works for you. Located 6th & Grape, across from the Groce teria, where Sc still buys a good cup of coffee. Opening week-end for the Medford Cheney Studs in the Southwestern Oregon league baseball campaign was to wind up today as the Studs scrap with the potent Drain Black Sox at the fairgrounds ball diamond at 2 p.m. Roy Helser, who tossed 122 victories in his career just con cluded with the Portland Beav ers of the Coast loop, was sched uled to pitch for the Sox today if he did not go to the hill last night. Helser pilots Helser took over the manager ial reins of the Black Sox this week and rounds out a powerful line-up for the Drain entry in the circuit. The roster of the new loop member includes Infielder Harvey Storey, just released by the San Diego Padres, and sev eral others who have made their mark in pro ball or are on the way up. Stud Manager Hoosier Hoffard has recognized the toughness of the Drain crew but the Studs boast a rather strong crew themselves. This week's play will provide a good indica tion on how the Medford aggre gation stacks up in the circuit. The Chenev gang was to use Clarence Mellbye, an ex-Pioneer leaguer on the pitcher's hill to day, if Paul Gehrman, an ex major leaguer, threw in last night's affair. With Frank Roe- landt catching the Studs were assured of an ex-pro battery. Other former pro players in the Medford line up are Alex McDonald and Clyde (Moose) Blevins. Semi-pro vets Marvin Cartwright, Norm Lucich and Snuffy Smith and Bill Selser from Humboldt State college add strength to the local team. Other action in the circuit to day will be Coqullle at Roseburg and Coos Bay-North Bend at Bandon. The clubs also played last night. Brookings drew a bye. Joe Chez Beaten By SC Trojans Los Angeles (U.R) The South ern California Trojans pushed across five runs in the first in ning and added another in the sixth to edge Stanford 6 to S Sat urday and win their sixth CIBA championship in seven years. The Trojans were outhit for the second consecutive day, with Stanford getting 10 to their five, but they managed to space them to do the most damage. SC opened the game with five tallies on four walks and three hits in the first off Stanford ace moundsman Joe Chez. Chez settled down after the wild spurt, however, and allowed only two more hits during the game. nlehtl Washington 2, Cleveland 9 (nlghtl Philadelphia at Chicago (postponed, rain) National League Chicago 3, New York 1 (1st) I Chicago S, New York 4 (2nd) Brooklyn ft.
