Hatfield's Career Traced in Literary Magazine Article
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribung Washington
Correspondent
Washington - ( Special ) -
"You know," said Oregon's
Gov. Mark Hatfield, "Some
one came up
to me the
other day and
asked me
when I was
going to start
c a mpaigning.
As though he
was saying
when are you
going to get
off your duff?
Would you believe it? I've
been campaigning for the last
12 years. I've never stopped."
This interesting quotation
concludes an absorbing pro
file of Hatfield in the July is
sue of a new quality maga-
line, USA-I. It was written
ill
Smith
by Jonathan Rinehart, ex
Time magazine writer who is
now based in Washington,
D. C, for this new literary
magazine.
In what is the best article
yet written about Oregon's
young governor,
traces his rise to national
fame from a collage teacher
at Willamette University,
shows the influence of his
father (who wanted him to be
a minister) and his mother
(who would have liked him to
be a doctor), and charts some
of the problems Hatfield faces
beyond the state house at
Salem. .
Also, he doesn't ' overlook
the practical role of Hat
field's political partner Tra
vis Cross, the governor's press
relations aide, whom Rine
hart rates as "as able and
tough a political tactician as
the national Republican pa.--
ty has in its ranks." Hatfield
and Cross teamed up as stu
dents at Stanford in 1948,
then came to Willamette to
gether and began to build the
Hatfield political career.
Rinehart I Great Ambition
"I always had a great ambi
tion for a political career,"
Hatfield told the author, but
after a time at Willamette he
came to a point of decision.
Rinehart's account of it
follows:
"Through his father, Hat
field had been led to a strong
fundamentalist Baptist faith.
As dean of students at Wil
lamette, since 1950, he had
been obliged to recommend
expulsion of students for
drinking either on or off cam
pus - though he was himself
was fond of a scotch and soda.
In addition to this moral quan-

manager; E. J. Kolar, president of the U.S.

rell, cashier, Portland. An estimated 4,000
persons toured the facilities of the new
branch bank during open house Friday.

sign, with rock and wood being used on
the exterior.

dary, Hartfield was getting so
absorbed in politics that he
felt his teaching performance
was threatened. After an in
tensive period of rededication
to his faith, he gave up all
drinking and smoking and
quit his teaching job as well.
"I had reached the point
where I had to decide once
and for all whether 1 wanted
to be in politics, .in teaching
or go into the ministry," Hat
field recalls. He decided his
role was that of the religious
man in politics.
This background helps to
explain one aspect of Republi
can Hatfield's political success
in Oregon at a time of heavy
Democratic voter registration
majorities. Reports Rinehart:
Aided by Faith
"In cold fact, Hatfield's po
litical career has been mater
ially aided by his faith and by
the noticeable vigor with
which he pursues it. Oregon's
fundamentalists, with their
Southern ties, normally tend
to vote Democratic, except
when Mark Hatfield is In the
race. Hatfield is far too canny
a politician to be unaware of
the political benefits of his
faith, but he is equally too
sincere on basic issues to be
hypocritical on this one. And
at best his enimies arc left
with the unco m fort able
knowledge that, politically,
there is nothing they can do
MEDF0RDs4l3WrRIBUNE
SECTION B MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY. JULY 11, 1062 PAGES 1 to 12
about this basis for his elec
toral support."
The writer says the possi
bility of Hatfield landing on
a national GOP ticket depends
on his image remaining un
tarnished and his rolling up
an impressive vote in winning
reelection this fall - simply
because political convention
delegates are most of all im
pressed by a winner. His ac
complishments as governor
have been "creditable but
limited." But currently he in
working hard with the goal
of winning big against At
torney General Robert Y.
Thornton with a victory mar
gin as close to 100,000 votes
as he can manage.
