Ways and means for building up tourist interest were discuss ed and it was decided to ask other groups in the city and throughout the" valley for sug gestions and help. The assistance of newspapers, radio and TV is to be sought in publicizing the old town. , 'i Not a Ghost Town. . It was pointed out by Chair man . Matheny that much had been accomplished along similar lines in other places not as unique as Jacksonville. He pic tured Jacksonville, as a town still alive and operating with some of the oldest landmarks In the state. "This isn't a ghost town, because it never really died," Matheny said. "As a mat ter, of fact there is still gold being found within the city limits, and, of course, we still have our Gold Rush .. Jubilee which this year attracted people from, many distant states who had seen the Lions magazine article on Jacksonville and in cluded the town in their vaca tion itinerary." . - Also considered by the com mittee was the suggestion that a Jacksonville Old Timers club be formed with certain require ments for membership.

"I've never felt more confident of an election In my life," says Iowa's Sen. uuy uu lette. Since the elderly Gillette, a Democrat, was elected to the House in 1932 and 1934 and to the Senate in 1936 all D e mocratic landslide years this may be Stewart Alsop 'put down as a rather startling statement. Yet Gillette, who is no iool about politics, appears genuinely to mean what he says, His view of the election is the one that is now accepted universally by Democrats and even, in private, by a good many Republicans. ' "As I sense the trend," says Gillette, "there has been, a big switch to the Democrats." If Sen. Gillette's sensing of the trend is accurate, this switch has taken place particularly among the farmers. Before starting his campaign, he says, he asked the Democratic leaders in Iowa's 99 counties what issue to hit hard est. All 99 told him to concen trate on "the farm issue." He is now surer than ever that they were right. There is also, according to Gillette, a switch among the hard-pressed small town mer chants, ordinarily overwhelming ly Republican. And in general, according to the Gillette view, the Independents and Democrats who went Republican in 1952 feel "let down." "Yes," ; says . Gillette, a tall, white-haired man who - looks every inch a Senator, andtalks with weighty senatorial deliber ation, "that is the answer. The 117 S.

Thunder, October 28, 1954 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ITVE voters feel that they have been crossed up." Whether or not "that Is the answer,"' almost all observers here agree that Gillette himself is well in the lead at the mo ment. His opponent, Rep. Thomas ; Martin,, has almost Knocked himself out campaign ing. But Martin is not an Im pressive candidate, and "he is up against a remarkable political phenomenon in Gillette.: IOWA is, of course, very heav ily Republican. Except for Gil lette, the entire Iowa Congres sional delegation is Republican, and has been for years. But ever since President Roosevelt tried to purge him in 1938 which Gillette concedes is the luckiest thing that ever happened to him Gillette has enjoyed a sort of special dispensation in Iowa. As far as his own race is concerned, therefore, Gillette's confidence is probably Justified. ' Not everyone agrees with Gil lette, however, that a "big switch" to the Democratic party as a whole is going on here. Rex Conn of the Cedar Rapids Ga- :ette, for example, is known as one of the most astute farm re porters in the country On the record, ne detected the farm swing to Truman in 1948. He detects nothing of the sort now. Iowa s dairy farmers are ad mittedly unhappy about the drop ih dairy products. The farmer's wives, who depend on eggs for pin money, are even more un happy about the collapse of egg prices. But Iowa is essentially a corn and hog state, and corn, and hoe prices have held un sur prisingly well. ' . '. . This reporter spent a day brav ing such perils as a flock of in furiated geese, in order to inter view farmers and their wives on the back roads ih the area between. Cedar Rapids and Du buque. Nobody seemed much exercised about the election. One elderly farmer, a Rcpub-1 iiuan, saio inai limes are very good, but his next door neighbor. a Democrat, said that times were perfectly terrible. Several of the ladies were only vaguely aware that an election was go ing on. There was unanimous agreement on only one point pullet eggs were too low. As usual, in short, the results of this private poll wera incon clusive. ' But it did seem odd that this day of polling uncovered not a single farmer who said he was switching from Republican to Democratic. No doubt this was sheer happenstance. But this much at least is certainly true if a "big switch" is really soma on, it is remarkably difficult to detect at first hand in the pretty, rolling countryside around here. ..... s. TN a sense, the "farm vote" is a mess, of course, if only be cause all farmers are not in the same Dusiness iney are in a whole) series of different ! busi nesses. This is true even of neigh bors a man who has gone all out for butter and eggs may be in terrible shape', where his neighbor who has stuck to corn and hogs is doing right well. The great majority of farmers in this state have .stuck to corn and hogs. - Even so, Sen. Gillette may be quite right. So may other Demo crats who claim to detect a tre mendous Democratic ' ground swell. There has certainly been some switching to the Democrats since the 1952 vote, when Iowa, for example, .went Republican by almost two to one. It would be amazing if there hadn't been a switch. But one begins to won der if the switch is really so big as some Democratic counters of unhatched chickens and even some despairing Republicans would have one believe. (Copyright. 1954, New York Herald Tribune, Inc.) Patterson Accused Of Currying Favor Coos Bay j(U.R) Ernest W. Tomberg, president of district 7 of the International Wood workers of America, yesterday accused Gov. Paul Patterson with "currying political favor" by his recent handling of the Pacific Northwest lumber strike. Tomberg said his district of the union had concluded that Patterson "was more interested in getting votes for his campaign inan in trying to effect a sin. cere settlement of the dispute." He said meetings of the fact finding board assigned to study uia labor dispute had been 'dragged out" until after the election. Nixon Schedules Three Addresses ' Los Angeles -(U.R) Vice-Pres ident Richard M. Nixon, in a whirlwind barnstorming cam paign through California, today was scheduled to deliver three speeches here in behalf of Re publican congressional candi dates. - .. . . In San Diego last night, he said the nation in 20 months under President Eisenhower had done more to meet the threat of Communist aggression -than the Truman administration had been able to do in seven years. Addressing a Navy Day din ner in San Diego's Balboa Parle, Nixon said the administration had achieved its foreign policy record despite cuts in expendi tures for foreign aid. "Through a policy of spending more wisely we find todav that the United States Is able to re sist, to meet and defeat Commu nist aggression anv dace In the 1 world," he said. He placed the credit for that success directly in the hands of President Eisenhower, whom he termed "one of the greatest mili tary experts in history."
