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."

Nixon (Speeches In Fort

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.
"Our way to progress is an
honest way . . . not a program
to promise everything to ev
erybody" at the taxpayers' ex
pensc.
Kennedy proposes a "tnke-away-from-tho-poor-p
e o p 1 e"
program to "buy his election
with your money and your future."

posted and carefully controll
ed, he said.
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. These
would be well advertised,
the courthouse auditorium,
only two men, John Walsh,
Lake Creek, and John Nicder
meyer, Medford, argued for
the poison bait program using
Compound 1080. A number of;
others, led by Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Marshall, opposed tha
program.

Th id In the November 1, 1960, Mail Tribune relative to Ray
McGinnit, buiineu agent and president of Construction General
Laborers' Local No. 85, and former Secretary of The Central Labor
Council, stating that Senator Durno is Labor's friend, has come to
our attention as needing clarification.
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.

We will meet the challenge!
li
From Cuba to the Congo, from Turkey to Tokyo, the world Is in
turmoil, breaking the old allegiances. 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.
