serve as committee secretary.
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.

HOW BIG IS THE BWITCH?
Cedar Rapids. la. "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

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.

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"

Patterson "was more interested

'dragged out" until after the

Three Addresses

whirlwind barnstorming cam

was scheduled to deliver three
speeches here in behalf of Re

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
