12 MAIL TRIBUNE, MeJford, Oregon. Friday, October 24, 1958 Candidate Parade (Editor's not: This is on of a serits of articles con cerning candidates for state, federal and county office, up for election at the November general election. They were prepared by the candidates themselves, or on their behalf, at the invitation of the Mail Tribune.) I 4 if'? i V H K i LARRY SHEEHAN I am the Democratic candi date for Sheriff of Jackson County. I am 47 years old, married, and have resided in Rogue River more than 10 years. I am not a professional po liceman, but a businessman with 20 years experience who believes in good and effect ive law enforcement. The duties of the sheriff's office do not require a pro fessional policeman but a per son with sound business ex perience who can secure qual ified deputies to enforce our laws. Our present sheriff has not engaged in criminal in vestigation but has been the administrator of the office, relying on deputies for the particular work of each de partment. The sheriffs office origi nated in Anglo-Saxon Eng land, when the sheriff was principally a tax collector. In our modern day, the duties of the sheriff as a tax collector are even more important. Our present sheriff stated early this year that the rea son he was not running for re-election was because there should be a change in the ad ministration. I agree with the sheriff. If you wish to retain the present administration, vote for my opponent. If you. desire a change, then vote for Larry Sheehan. Some of the changes I will make if elected are: (1) Eliminate the expensive mileage arrangement for dep uties' vehicles which in 1957 cost this county over $19,000. If elected, I will investigate the procurement of county cars for the sheriffs depart ment. (2) Keep the Sheriffs of fice open 24 hours a day for the service and protection of the public. (3) More efficient . turn over of tax money to the county treasurer, so that this money can be immediately in vested and earn interest for the county. (4) Work out a plan to in sure safety for our children in all school zones. (5) Better cooperation with other law enforcement agen cies. (6) Study possible work program for county prison ers. (7) Maintain a high stand ard of efficiency in jail facil ities. (8) Cooperate with author ities and families to resolve juvenile problems. (9) Give kind and cour teous treatment to every per son. The above is only a portion of the changes that should be made or studied to bring about a more efficient sher iffs office. If elected, I will do my best to carry out such a program and be open to suggestion for other changes which benefit our county. I wish to thank the Mail Tribune for this opportunity to set out some of my views to the voters of this coun ty. . Centennial Group Talks of News Gathering and dissemina tion of news and historical material to further stimulate - interest in the Oregon Cen tennial and encourage local participation was discussed at a meeting of the Jackson County Centennial association this week. Dr. Frank Wilson, publicity committee chairman, suggest ed that residents should be urged to submit stories of an historical nature to city chair men or the county chairman. Worthwhile items will be for warded to local news agen cies. Several county event dates have been submitted for pub lication in the state highway department's calendar of events brochure. Deadline for the first printing is Nov. 15, and dates should be in the county chairman's hands by - -i It 1 W-f W ivA Portland - (TPD - The Uni versity of Washington Husk ies, who claimed the "foot ball championship of Oregon" despite a poor season in 1957, seek to snap a three-game losing streak here Saturday afternoon against in-and-out Oregon State. Washington defeated both Oregon and Oregon State, the PCC co-champions last sea son. But the Huskies are 10 to 12 point underdogs for Sat urday's game. Oregon State, with full back Nub Beamer and tackle Ted Bates back in the lineup, A handily defeated Idaho last week to run its Pacific Coast Conference record to 2-1. The. Beavers are still in the run ning for the Rose Bowl des pite one-sided defeats by Southern California (21-0) and by non-conference Wyo ming (28-0). JOE WALSH Joe Walsh is the Republi can candidate for the office of sheriff. He is a family man and has devoted the major portion of his adult life to police work and is the present chief crimi nal deputy under Sheriff Ho ward Gault. He plans to embark on a constructive program which is an outzrowth of his training and experience in the varied responsibilities of the office which he seeks. He is highly regarded by all with whom he has come in contact and has shown a willingness to work the long and often times irregular hours the nature of the job demands. His broad understanding of juvenile problems and the technicalities of law enforce ment are widely recognized and last year resulted in his election to the presidency of the Southern Oregon Peace Officers association. Walsh appears to come be fore the voters highly recom mended and qualified to carry out the duties of the office with economy and efficiency Beavers Tune Up Passing Attack for Husky Scrap Coach Tommy Prothro has concentrated a lot on passing offense this week with five tailbacks all throwing the ball. Dainard Paulson, who looked good against Idaho, is expected to start in this key position. Grimm Mason, out of the last two games with injuries, also is ready to play again. Washington, which has been outweighed in the line in all its games so far, will give away only two pounds per man against the Beavers. The Huskies average 196 up front to 198 for the Oregon State starting forward wall. A crowd of around 25,000 is expected. Game time is 1:30 p.m. p.s.t.. . . . Oregon State will b trying to keep alive Prothro record of not having lost a home game at Corvallis or Portland since he took over at Beaver ville in 1955.

Conley Places Full Attention On Basketball Boston (DFD Milwaukee Braves pitcher Gene Conley, who ignpred the warnings of the baseball club against sign ing a basketball contract with the Boston Celtics, turned all his attention today to his new job. The 6 foot 8 inch hurler had only a deaf ear for the rumblings in Milwaukee where Braves General Mana ger John Quinn commented that by playing basketball Conley would violate his base ball contract. "We have not given him permission to play basket ball," Quinn said Thursday after he was informed that Conley had signed with the Celtics. He said any punitive action would be discussed "later." Final Tunaup Conley was slated for a fi nal tuneup with the rest of the Boston club today before leaving for New York where the Celts open their season against the Knickerbockers in Madison Square garden Sat urday night. Celtics coach Red Auerbach said Thursday after Conley had signed his contract that he intended to use Conley as a "starter." Conley played 39 games with the Celtics in the 1952-53 season, scoring 88 points and making 171 rebounds. He is especially valuable in the lat ter department. American end candidate Ron Stover, who suffered a leg in jury against Washington State, is ready to start. . Oregon, despite a 6-0 upset loss to Washington State, is a slight favorite. Casanova said he was confident the Webfoots would rebound from their poor showing of .last week. "We've always been, a good scrambling . team and this has been our strongest point the last two years. I feel confident that if we scramble against California we can win." But Casanova was worried about Oregon's offense which so far this year has been below expectations. The 150 yards net rush and passing gained by Oregon last Satur day was a five-year low for the Webfoots. . Even so, Casanova was ex pected to open with the same backfield that has started all four games this year. That would be Dave Grosz at quar terback, . W i 1 1 i e West and Charlie Tourville at halfbacks and Marian Holland at full back. The man the Webfoots fear most is Joe Kapp, the PCC total offense leader for Cali fornia. In. 1956 Kapp rushed for 20 yards and completed nine passes against Oregon for another 117 yards. Last fall in Eugene he ran for 55 and passed for 59 for more than half the total California offense. . SPORTS 'Appreciation' Shown To Ref the lights went Black Eighth Spurns Whites Mike .

Jeff Monroe went five yards for one Black touchdown and Ben Freeman picked up a fumble and ran for the other. Pete Hinman and Bob Walker did the ex tra pointing. Rick Larson scored for the Whites on a 55-yard jaunt. Cliff Roberts stood out for the Whites both with his of fensive and . his defensive play. - MIKAN HELPS PILOTS Portland -CPD- The Univer sity of Portland's basketball team got a helping hand Thursday from an old pro George Mikan. The former Minneapolis star, now work ing for a rubber company played against Portland coach Al Negratti during his profes sional days. He gave pointers to the Pilots as they worked out.

Gamecocks sent a battered and previous ly unbeaten Clemson team back to its mountain home to day, smarting from a . 26-6 drubbing at the hands of three line-ripping backs in the next-to-last "Big Thurs day" football classic.
