14 MAIL TRIBUNE, Merfford, Oregon, Monday. November 3, 1938 Knowland, Brown In Final Pleas For California Governor Post San Francisco -TPB Repub lican Sen. William Fife Know- land and Democrat Edmund G. Brown wound up their bitter campaign for governor today with a series of last- minute appeals to California voters. Knowland, planning to work desperately right up un til the polls open at 7 a.m.. (PST) Tuesday scheduled last-ditch "prop stop" aerial tour of the San Joaquin Val ley. Brown, confident that he has the election in the' bag, planned a brief appearance in Long Beach, a "campaign clincher" luncheon with his supporters in Los Angeles and a final get-out-the-vote" state wide radio appeal tonight Both Worn Out Both candidates obviously were worn out after a cam paign that actually started 23 months ago when Knowland announced he was giving up his post as Republican Party leader in the U. S. Senate in order to make a try for gov ernor in his home state. Brown actually announced his candidacy for governor on his 27th wedding anniversary Oct 30, 1957. Before the mar athon campaign ended today, Brown and his attractive wife, Bernice, had a chance to ob serve still another anniversary. While Brown and Know land were winding up their appeals. Republican Gov. Goodwin J. Knight and Dem ocratic Congressman Clair Engje were fighting the final round in their battle for a six-year term in the U, S. Senate. Test of Party Strength Both the gubernatorial and senatorial contests are regard ed throughout the nation as key tests of ths relative strength of the two parties. California has not elected a Democratic governor in 20 years and Republicans have held Knowland's Senate seat since before he was appointed to the post by former Gov. Earl Warren in 1945. Knowland and Brown clashed twice in statewide ra dio - television appearances over the week end. Sunday in Los Angeles, they showed how far apart they are on the most controversial issues on Tuesday's ballot a so-called "right to work" initiative which, if adopted by the vot ers, would outlaw the union shop in the nation's second most populous state. Step Against 'Labor Mess' Knowland, an all-out sup porter of right-to-work, said he wanted to see it pass as a step toward cleaning up the "labor mess." Brown said right-to-work was a radical proposal which would promote class warfare between labor and manage ment, lower salaries and mor ale for workers. Neither candidate nor party denied the importance of the balloting in California Tues day. The state has been staunchly Republican for 20 years. Yet in the primary elec tion last June Brown piled up a majority of 662,000 votes over Knowland and Engle out- polled Knight by 558,000. And mere nas Deen a 3-to-l in crease in Democratic regis trations since then. 30 Seats At Stake In addition to key contests" for governor and senator, 30 seats in the House of Repre sentatives are at stake with Republicans currently holding a 17-3 edge plus elections for lieutenant governor, secre tary of state, controller, treasurer and attorney gener al and contests for 100 of the 120 seats in the state legisla ture. Registrations give Demo crats a 1,199,065 edge. Polls open at 7 a.m. (PST) and re main open for 12 hours ex cept in San Francisco where they stay open until 8 p.m (PST). Demos Confident; Republicans Hopeful As Election Hears Washington -(UPD- The 1958 political campaign ends to day with the Democrats con fident and the Republicans hoping for upsets in Tuesday's elections. Despite close races in some states, practically all the polls and other political barometers indicated the Democrats will increase their now slender majorities in the House and Senate. Almost 50 million voters in 47 states will ballot Tuesday to elect 33 U.S. senators, 432 House members, 32 governors and many other state and lo cal officials.

But the big guns in both par ties were silent except for Vice President Richard M. Nixon, campaigning in the soon-to-be new state of Alaska which holds its first election Nov. 25. Predict 12 Seats " In a dispatch written today for United Press Interna tional, Democratic National Chairman Paul M. Butler pre dicted his party will gain at least eight to 12 Senate seats and at least 40 House seats. Sunday he used more spe cific figures and said he ex pected a gain of 11 or 12 Senate seats and 47 House seats. Chairman George A. Smathers of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Commit tee 'predicted a Democratic pickup of at least 12 Senate seats, not counting the one already won in Maine and those at stake in Alaska. Republican National Chair man Meade Alcorn said re ports from GOP leaders would "do better than the polls indi cated." He said these reports promised "some very startling upsets" and showed that the GOP "could conceivably re capture control of the House." He admitted regaining con trol of the Senate "would be very difficult." Names No States The Senate lineup is now 49 Democrats and 47 Republi cans. The House is divided 232 Democrats, 195 Republi cans and eight vacancies. Alcorn named no states as the locale for upsets. Smath ers said his party had its best chances to displace Re publican senators in Connecti cut, New York, West Vir ginia (two seats), Michigan, Indiana, Minnesota, Wyoming, Wisconsin, California, Ari zona and Nevada. Rescue Workers Continue Probe of Mine's Depths Springhill, Nova Scotia -(UPD -Grimy workers continued to day their fevered digging into the wrecked Cumberland Mine in the dim hope that a third miracle would occur and still more entombed min ers might be found alive. Twice all hope had been abandoned but digging work ers found two groups of men still alive, deep beneath the earth. Mine officials held little hope today that more miners would be found alive but they vowed work would continue until the last missing body was found. They hoped to fin ish the grim task by the end of the week. 100 Men Rescued Forty six bodies have been recovered and 100 men have been rescued, including seven who were trapped almost nine days, and 12 others who were found after more than six days. That left 28 unac counted for since the Oct. 23 cave-in. During the week end, offic ials of the Cumberland Rail way and Coal Company and its parent, the Dominion Steel and Coal Corporation said they were certain no men were left alive in the mine. After Saturday's rescue, crews of highly trained rescue workers brought here were called off the search. They left for their homes Sunday, leaving coal mine rescue squad to end the search. Two Persons Hurt InOne-CarMishap Two persons were hurt, one seriously in a one-car accident north of the Birdseye creek bridge about 9 p.m. Saturday according to state pojice. Allen Wittelsey Carmen, 20, of Redwood City, Calif., was in fair condition in the Jose phine county general hospital at Grants Pass ths morning and is being treated for pos sible head injuries, hospital attendants said. Carmen and his passenger Duke Sumner Stroud, also of Redwood City, were taken to the Grants Pass hospital by ambulance. Stroud was treated as an outpatient and released. State police said the car was southbound on Highway 99 when a car attempted to pass the car driven by Carmen. The car moved to the right edge of the road, the car wheels caught on the edge of the pavement and the car was flipped over throwing Carmen out of the car. Extensive dam age was done to the top and sides of the car which' was towed into Gold Hill by wrecker, officers said. Although Democrat Frank Hogan might win the sena torial race in New York over Rep. Kenneth B. Keating, that state still provided the GOP with at least one bright spot in an otherwise gloomy picture. Bookmakers report ed Sunday night the odds had risen to 2-1 on Republican Nelson A. Rockefeller to un seat Democratic Gov. Averell Harriman. -FLY for FR ...on AAEBCY IFU DD ii mm THAT'S RIGHT.

In GIVE TEACHER' & SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS FULL CITIZENSHIP RIGHTS! mm PURPOSE: 13 X YES will amend Oregon constitution to permit employees or members of a school board or employees of the Board of Higher Education to retain their legislative seats when resuming their regular positions. WHY NECESSARY: School employees and school board members may currently serve as legislators. Educators take leaves of absence from their teaching or other positions, drawing no salary from such position while absent. BUT, on resuming their regular, full time positions, they must resign, as legislators. This reduces their effectiveness. BOTH CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR PA FULLY SUPPORT THIS INITIATIVE! Adv.
