12 MAIL TRIBUNC, Medford, O'taon, Friday, October 31, 1938 California Republicans Facing Trouble in Tuesday's Election San Francisco - 'I'PD -Much Is at stake for both political : parties in next Tuesday's Cali . fornia election. The Republicans, in power for 20 years in the nation's second most populous state, ' are in trouble and optimistic ; Democrats are predicting a ' major victory, perhaps even a sweep for their entire ticket. U.S. Sen. William F. Know land, the GOP candidate for governor, ran 662,000 votes behind the Democratic nomi nee. State Attorney General Edmund G. (Pat) Brown, 53, in the June primary election. Shirt Sleeve Campaign Since then Klowland has waged a shirt-sleeve, precinct level campaign throughout the entire state, but almost all newspaper polls and other surveys still show Brown with a long lead. Knowland said last week VOTERS of Jackson Counly No one has the right to tell you how to cast your vote, but it's my hops and belief after you have investigated the rec ord and qualifications of CHET WEflDT You will join with me in urging his re-election As our COUNTY COMMISSIONER Bill Jess, Eagle Point Paid Adv. Chester H. Wendr, Medford, Oregon. I'll r s. 3 If You Don't Know ROY P.WILKES 4 Those who know will tell you he is the man for Councilman Ward 1. Former College Professor and Research Scientist. Officer in U. S. Navy during World War II. Organized and led successful drive for municipal facilities in Kenwood Grandview area. Appointed by Mayor Snider to City Budget Committee in 1957. Believes wholesome new businesses and industries should be welcome in Medford. ELECT To Represent Ward 1 W Pd. Pol. Adv. Wilkes for Councilman Comm., Elwood B. Hedberg, Secy. M that if he loses to Brown he would not expect "to be a candidate for public office again. Thus a Brown victory would all but put an end to the presidential aspirations of the 50-year-old Knowland, who inherited the mantle of Republican Party leadership in the Senate from the late Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio. In the equally important contest for the U.S. Senate, the Republican nominee, Gov. Goodwin L. Knight. 61, took a thumping in June from Rep. Clair Engle, 46. Recent polls and surveys show veteran campaigner Knight gaining on Engle but the distinct Democratic trend in the pri mary and in late voter regi stration puts Engle in the favorite's role. Both President Eisenhower and Vice President Richard M. Nixon campaigned hard in California in the past month in an effort to bolster the GOP cause. Nixon, a native Californian and the likely Re publican presidential nominee in 1960. raised about S60(M)00 for GOP coffers but failed in his major mission to patch up personal and political dif ferences between Knight and Knowland. Knighl-Knowland Split Knight originally announc ed he would run again tor governor but pulled out of race when Knowland took aim at the same target. Knight never has endorsed Knowland nor supported him in the campaign although the senator has blessed Knight and the entire Republican slate. Both major Republican 1 candidates are on opposite sides of the fence on the con troversial right-to-work initia tive on the Nov. 4th ballot Boy Admits Taking Money From Home A 12-year-old Medford boy was interrogated and arrested by city police Wednesday in connection w'i'th reported thefts and malicious mischief. The boy, later released in custody of his father, admitted taking a total of $15 in two thefts from the residence of Mrs. Sidney Loretta Brenne man, 1110 West Eighth St., earlier this month. He also ad mitted, according to police records, smearing gasket seal material on the Brenneman house and car and on a neigh bor's car this week. About Him! ROY P. on the City Council The proposal would out law the union shop and is the keystone of Knowland's cam paign for "Union Democracy" and labor .union reforms. Knight sides with Brown, Engle and the rest of the Democratic ticket in opposi tion to right-to-work. Organized labor has pulled out all the stops in registering voters for the election and fighting right-to-work. Since the June primary, Democrats have added 333,000 voters voters, while GOP registra tion is up on 123,000. A total of 6,752,421 voters are eligible to cast ballots next Tuesday - 3,875,000 Democrats and 2,676,000 Re publicans. For the first time in history, Democrats have more than a million-vote edge in registration over the GOP. IRS Said Trying To Intimidate Church Leaders Arlington, Va. - (UPD - A segregationist group has charged that federal tax of ficials subjected Southern church leaders to "propa ganda, intimidation and co ercion" by pointing out that churches used for schools could lose tax-exempt status. The Arlington chapter of Defenders of State Sover eignty and Individual Liber ties demanded Thursday that the Internal Revenue Service identify the head of any IRS department which has any such tax denial exemption "under active consideration." Might Risk Status IRS officials said Wednes day that churches might be risking their tax status under certain circumstances if they provide space for private classes in communities where public schools are closed to thwart integration. The of ficials commented in response to a reporter's questions. They said the issue had been raised informally. But they emphasized that no such case had been brought before them officially for a ruling. The state sovereignty group said that it will petition Vir ginia members of Congress next year to open an investi gation "to ferret out those re sponsible for using an office of IRS to coerce, intimidate and propagandize private church institutions into sub mission to race mixing schemes of the National Asso ciation for the Advancement of Colored People. IRS officials said that a church's tax - exempt status would come into question if its activities in non-religious fields, such as education, were of such a nature that its pri mary purpose ceased to be re ligious. - Under the law, religious in stitutions are not required to pay federal taxes or even to report their income and ex penditures to the Treasury.
