Newspaper Page Text10 A Republican Says Don't Be Don't be "too fair" in poll- - tire, or you'll lose the election. This is the theory of Gene L. Brown, Grants Pass attorney, who spoke for the April meet- : lng of the Medford unit, Ore ' gon' Federation of Women's Republican clubs, held yester day noon at North's Chuck Wagon.. -' Mr. Brown spoke under the ''title "are you too fair-minded ' to be a good Republican." He said "It's impossible to admit ! for most of the time that a man is a good, able fellow "and then start pointing out his deficiencies when he be comes a candidate. You can't praise a man part of the time - and then start taming against " him in a campaign." ', "We're apt to give too much t- credit to the opposition,; he t said. He believes this is not , political dishonesty, but slmp- lv the facts ol political nie, a V realistic, practical approach to ( winning elections., ; . Mr. Brown advised his fel low Republicans to vote for their party's candidate, even though they believed the op position candidate might be more able. ' He qualified this iomewhat . by adding , that . voters must draw the line if ; a candidate was too bad, but said in that case they should not' cast any vote for that . office. " v Compares Men''-' 'i-.vf. The speaker, who at one time served in ; the ; Oregon legislature, began his talk by asking "What Is a Republi can?" He pointed out the dif ferences in such men as Barry Ooldwater, Former President Elsenhower and Richard Nix on, or, qn the state level, such men as Robert Duncan of Med ford, Monroe Sweetland and Harry Bolvin, all Democrats. ' )Ht added that "Bolvin is more conservative than Goldwater, and Sweetland Is about as far left ai a Democrat can go." ' Mr. Duncan he described as a "total liberal who votes con trary to his beliefs" if it is politically expedient to do so. Later he said "Duncan talks one way and votes another because he thinks It will get "him elected governor." Mr. Brown said he believed that basically Republicans must make up their minds If they favored bigger govern ment with mora benefits on the federal level, or lest gov r -mt on the national level 1 it ire control locally. "-It 1 1 wit to what you want Covernment," ha de-' '-ti. who readily t t'm "a black, , Republl- ... j I leved that j. c-rticulariy on u.e local level, don't have, the courage of their political con victions. He said "More of us have to make decisions, on the Iocs! level, about what we ( and for. We should pick out a candidate because of what Is stands for, and then sup I -t him all the way." , used Dr. Edwin R. Dur ' , -who defeated Charles Por ' In the last election and It serving this district in Teat, at an example of a xrvative Republican who jw that hit views would unpopular with many but . ..o stated them anyhow." "Candidates should atop Mlly-thallylng," he declared. Lxamplet Given The speaker cited 'the late U.S. Senator Richard Neu- 4.79 MWW1 3.79 jjj MATERNITY SEPARATES TO MIX AND MATCH 1 TUESDAY. APRIL 18, 1961 berger and Former Governor Robert Holmes as examples of men who enioyea political triumphs because the Republi cans in the state were "too fair." Mr. Brown was in the legislature when the late Sen ator Neuberger was also serv ine and told his audience yes terday that when he attempted to stand up to the latter, his fellow Republicans chided him and said "let him talk, it won't do any harm." "We were too fair with both Neuberger and Holme s," Brown declared.

The calorie count after frying, but before sugaring or glazing, is about 43 per doughnut. 4.79 'Too Fair' too fair in politics, you're a poor Republican." Mr. Brown also urged his listeners to be more generous In their financial contribu tions to their party and said "It takes money to have the kind of government we want. We all should be 'hard nosed' when it comes to politics." He advised the women to (.talk more about politics, par ticularly to those outside their normal circles and ended by saying that "The Republican party in this state must change and come forward with some new, aggressive ideas. The party is going to be revitalized and this must start at the grass roots." Mrs. Lester Adams reported on the recent meeting of Re- publlcan-women held in Wash ington, D.C. The theme was "62? Can Do!" She said speak ers emphasized that it is impor tant for the party to win con trol of the House of Repre sentatives in 1962 - to keep the 175 seats the party now has and add 43 more. She reminded her listeners that the Republicans lost 38 Demo cratic districts by five per cent or less and won 47 marginal districts by five per cent or less. She said national statistics showed that only 91.1 per cent of the total Republican regis tered voters in the Fourth Congressional district voted in the last election, but added that this was not the figure used locally. She stressed that Dr. Durno's margin was "thin" and said "One of the greatest challenges for the women of the Fourth district Is the re election of Durno in 1962. This is a real ehallenge. Un less , we win control of the House in 1962, and increase our representation in the Sen ate next year, the Republican presidential nomination may not be worth very much to Its recipient." Mrs. Stephen G. Nye spoke of the Republican dinner set for May 6 and said that tickets are now on sale. Mrs. E. A. Littrell, club president, pre sided and Mrs. Edward Sic kels introduced Mr. Brown. . f-T Lodge Head Is Visitor In Yreka ' Yreka-Mrs. Nelle Mertens, Palo Alto, president of the Rebekah Assembly of Cali fornia, recently made an of ft cial visit to Hope Rebekah lodge in the Odd Fellow's hall.
