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.

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-

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.

short question and answer per
