1 1 TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, September 30. 1956 Sweetland Claims Republicans Afraid of Full Will of People The Republicans in this state , are afraid of the full will of the people, Monroe Sweetland, Dem ocratic state senator and candi date for secretary of state, told a meeting of the Democratic So cial club at the Medford hotel Friday niht. Sweetland cited as examples Republican opposition in the Mate legislature to the rcfercn-i rium and initiative, the riant 01 the people to vote on tax bills or overrule the leaislature. and the riant of the people to introduce lezi.-lation should be maintained, he said. Wont States Oregon is one of the worst stat es for votins. the candidate point ed out. He charged the reason for this is that for the last 15 years in Oregon there has been a de termined effort by Republicans to keep certain groups of voters from going to the polls. Instances of Republican ob struction of voter registration, ac cording to Sweetland. are GOP instigated laws calling for a double-signing of poll books election day and denying citizens to vote in their original precincts, re quiring them to reregister in pre cincts in which they presently reside. The groups of voters these laws affect, he declared, are the agri cultural workers, young people not yet stabilized in the com munity, school teachers and log gers. These groups are mostly Democrats, he said. 'Calculated' Efforts These are "culculatcd" efforts. Sweetland stated, to stop Morse in November and a resurgent Democratic party in Oregon. Sweetland blasted as "crassly partisan" the proposal by his op ponent, Fred Hatfield, in the last session of the legislature to abol ish as elective offices the posi tions of attorney general and la bor commissions. Both positions are filled by Democrats, he said. He accused the Republicans of "tipping their hand" in this pro posal, "they don't trust the peo ple." Another example of registra tion obstruction, according to the Democratic candidate, was the proposal in 1953 by Rep. E. H. Mann, state representative from this district, to set back the dead line for registration to vote 60 days before the general election. The state senator said this "ret-j rogressive" proposal was design ed to cost the Democrats thous ands of votes. The bill lost by one vote in a house committee, he said. Possible Remedy A possible remedy for the lack of registered voters in the state, Sweetland pointed out, would be to qualify precinct men and women of each party to solicit registration. The Democratic h o p e ful expressed disapoint ment that the county clerk has not authorized deputy registrars to be in public places where citi zens could register. In speaking on the education system in the state, Sweetland blamed Republicans for failure to pass a minimum slary bill for teachers, introduced recently in the legislature. He said the bill was "very modest" and still would have left teachers wages below the wage level of industri al workers. In the state senate two Republicans joined all six Democrats, including candidate for governor Robert Holmes, and voted for the bill, while 22 Re publicans killed it, he said. Sweetland charged that Repub licans in the state legislature, in culdine Hatfield, killed the orig inal bill authorizing Portland Stale college. It was the Neuberg ers and Holmes that championed the bill, he said. Later a bill was passed approving a much more limited PSC. and also postponed construction two years, he add ed. "Everybody says they are for education in general." the can didate pointed out, "but when you get down to specific issues the 'big money' interests always oppose it." Big industry is in the paradoxical position of getting all the advantages of education, as they train their own men at public expense, but don't use their leadership to advance edu cation, he said. NEWS NOTES from Medford High School Lathes Republicans Ashland Lashing out at the Republicans in office as "lazy, indifferent .and unconcerned about their own districts," Mon roe Sweetland, Democratic can didate for secretary of state, ad dressed a near-capacity audience of Southern Oregon college stu dents and faculty at a special as sembly Friday afternoon. Sweetland, charging that Mark Hatfield, his Republican oppon ent, was "indifferent to the needs of higher education" in that he had opposed the Bend junior col lege plan, establishment of Port land State college, and had sup ported the special oath for teach ers for loyalty and allegiance, went on to state that Hafield also favored the proposal that the of firf nf attorney general and la bor commissioner no longer be elective, but be appointed by the governor. He also pointed out that since 1S7R there had been no Demo cratic secretary of state in Ore gon. This meant, he said, that some of the Republican claims ihat nn nartv should stay in pow er more than 20 years, placed the long reign of that party in this state on "exceedingly shaky ground." Main Theme The main theme of his address was the presentation of the cn- rv,tnnpratie Dartv. in gener al, rather than the singling out any specific individual for at tention. However, he praised "the fine record" of Robert noimes. now running for governor, for his "fine stand on educational issues." He claimed that Democrats in Oregon were, for the first time in the state's history, going to the polls with a marked superiority in the number registered to vote. His talk was followed by a short question and answer per iod.
