Will Accept II
He Is Nominated
Letter to Spencer
Clarifies Position
Henry F. Padgham Jr..
Medford, said today he would
accept the nomination as
Democratic candidate for
slate senator from Jackson
county if he receives a favor
able vote.
Padgham previously had an
nounced he was withdrawing
as Democratic candidate after
the Jackson County Democra
tic Central committee adopted
a resolution opposing the pro
posed Home Rule charter.
Padgham, in a letter to E.
D. Spencer, chairman of the
Democratic Party of Oregon,
said:
"A small group within the
(Central) Committee, drew up
a resolution which was engi
neered through the meeting
and passed by a big majority,
29 to 3. The resolution placed
the Democratic Party of Jack
son County as being opposed
to the adoption of the County
Home Rule Charter, a non
partisan measure on the May
18 ballot.
Bound by Policies
"I believe that candidates
are bound by the policies of
the Central Committee and
the procedures used by the
hackers of the resolution in
dicated that they also held
that belief
"I do not subscribe to the
resolution and have with
drawn my affiliation with the
committee and have ceased to
campaign for the primary. As
my name remains on the bal
lot, I shall accept the nomina
tion if I receive a favorable
vote. Should I receive the
nomination in the primary, I
will actively campaign for
election as a candidate repre
senting the real Democrats of
our county and without affili
ation with the Central Com
mittee as it is now. consti?
luted. ..'...:
"Except for a few of the
candidates for county offices,
I am actively supporting the
candidates representing the
Democratic Party in the pri
nt a r y campaign," Padgham
said.

City Council Votes
In Favor of Plan
Of Viaduct Parking
The Medford city council
last night approved a plan to
provide off-street parking un
der the freeway viaduct, but
postponed until its next meet
ing a decision on where the
money will come from to pay
for the project.
Tentative cost estimates for
the project range from $35,
000 to $37,000. That amount
would provide for installing
about 130 parking spaces un
der the viaduct, riprapping
the bank of Bear creek adja
cent to Hawthorne park, and
realigning a section of the
stream channel.
The decision was not a
unanimous one, and several
of the councilmcn seemed to
have serious reservations
about the project.
Not at This Tim
Councilman Stan Stark said
he was in favor of the off
street parking proposal, but
not at this time.
"I feel we have a chance
to obtain outside financial
help on the project, and I
would prefer to hold off until
we see how that turns out,"
he said.
It has been proposed that
the money to finance the proj
ect be taken from park and

City Manager Robert Duff
pointed out that if the off

done, there is some urgency
involved. Peter Kiewit and

whose equipment is already
on the scene engaged in con

Mrs. Vern Harper, mother
