Quoting the Candidates By United Press International Sen. John F. Kennedy (Speech televised from Chlca go): "I have tried in this cam paign to tell the truth to the American people, whether the truth was pleasant or not.' I did not reassure the voters that our prestige was at an all-time high . . , that we were sure to remain first in the world militarily . . . nor that we were enjoying "un precedented prosperity' - be cause that would not have been true. "I have tried ... to set be fore the American people their unfinished agenda - the tasks which Franklin Roosevelt did not foresee in 1933 - the tasks which Harry Truman could not complete by 1053 - and the tasks on which In eight Republican years we never even started. "I have tried ... to get the American people to face up to their problems realistically, without the luxury of wishful thinking. "I have tried . . .'to address myself to the real issues con fronting America - the real issue is world freedom or world slavery. World peace or world war Demonstrates Confidence "I have tried ... to demon strate my confidence in the American people - in their ability to listen to facts, not name-calling - to Judge the candidates on their own views, not someone else 8 coattails to remember the records of the two parties, and not Ignore parly labels ... "I do not share my oppo nent's fear of the future - his fears of every new program his fears that Inflation and deficits and unemployment are unavoidable-Ills fear that we cannot afford what we must afford - or even his fear of a fifth debate."

Calif.); ' Kennedy's economic promises are "the crudest po litical hoax ever offered the American people . . . but the American people are not go ing to be taken in by this medicine man tactic ... a frantic endeavor ... to scare the people into voting for" the Democrats. Opposition Tactics "Last minute opposition tac tics are becoming more and more desperate. About a week ago, it began to dawn on peo ple that what Kennedy was offering was not a cure for anything, but actually . . slow but sure poison which would destroy the very eco nomic health of our nation." Kennedy "has continued his misrepresentation of my posi tion nine and again when he has told the nation that I am opposed to medical care for the aged. His campaign from Labor day forward has been marked by this type of dis tortion. If he has his way, my opponent will wreck the stan dard of living for all who de pend on the Social Security system. For my part, I will provide the leadership and sympathetic Interest w h I c h will strengthen and expand the Social Security system.

Of the about 50 people at tending the public meeting in Dr. Franklin W. Sturges, assistant professor of science at Southern Oregon college, indicated in a letter to the county court last week that a second government hunter might be, the better solution to the Compound 1080 poison bait station problem. Before making a decision, however, Dr. Sturges said he would want to know how ex tensive the damage by coyot es is, and in what area. The college professor noted there were "two extreme points of view" at the meet ing in the courthouse audi torium Oct. 30. "Both sides went far beyond the facts," he said. During the meeting, the county court and general pub lic heard Riley Patterson, Roseburg, U.S. fish and wild life service, explain his pro posal to set out at least eight, and not more than 12, coyote poison stations roughly in the Lake Creek area toward the head of Salt Creek.

No. 1-lt might appear from the ad that Ray McGinnis was Secre tary of the Jackson County Central Labor Council. We would like to make it absolutely clear that McGinnis has never been an officer of the Jackson County Central Labor Council, and does not speak for us. The AFL-CIO has publicly endorsed the re-election of Con gressman, Charles O. Porter. No. 2-The Jackson County Central labor Council and the Med ford Building A Construction Trades Council are not endorsing Durno and from his record in the State Legislature, we do not consider him a FRIEND OF LABOR.

Here at home too many areas of our national life suffer from neglect. We will meet the challenges of a stormy world with the leadership of men and a party that will face our problems and do something about them. "The challenging sixties demand that the next President place himself in the thick of the fight, that he care passionately about the fate of the people he leads." These are the words of leadership, the words of Senator John F. Kennedy, Democratic candidate for President Your choice is between a party of action and a party of indifference. Between a man of principles and a man of question marks. It is time for a Democratic President who will bring new American leadership. It is time to elect John F. Kennedy President of the United States. KENNEDY VOTE KENNEDY-JOHNSON ON THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET Pd. pol. ad. Henry Podgham, Chm., 1 22 E. 8th, citizens for Kennedy-Johnson Comm.
