Would You Vote For This Man? The Oregonian in an editorial October 26, 1950 picked the candidates that you. the people should vote for in the coming Congressional and Gub ernatorial elections. All the Republican candidates were whole-heartedly endorsed, with one exception, Senator Wayne .Morse. The failure to endorse Senator Morse shows how biased and prejudiced The Oregonian is. There is no question that Senator Morse is head and shoulders above the other men who are now representing Oregon in Wash ington, D. C. If he is not deserving of re-election then certainly none of the other Oregon Congressmen are. The Oregonian says, "that the best interests of the state and nation would be best served by the re-election of Oregon’s four experienced and reliable congressmen.” Let us look at the records of these super men who are now representing Oregon in Washington. Playboy Walter Norblad was sent to Congress by the people of the first district for the first time in 1946. The Oregonian states, “Norblad has been especially effective on the armed services committee”. In four years in Congress this is the only major committee position Playboy Norblad holds. He ranks 32nd on this 34-man committee, or next to the bottom! Playboy Norblad took a trip to Korea on taxpayers* money a short time before the out-break of war there. He said and did nothing about the conditions there, in fact it was his vote that defeated aid to the South Koreans when it would have done the most good! Is this the kind of a man who renders valuable service on the armed services committee? The Oregonian states that he has “energetic approach to all problems’. Yes, such an energetic approach to all problems that Playboy Norblad was able to speak for approximately eight minutes in the last session of Congress, and that was on a minor subject—but, perhaps, we were lucky at that—for his not wasting other Congressmens time. This, then, is the man that the Oregonian so whole-heartedly endorses. Now, let us consider Playboy Norbald’s democratic opponent, Roy R. Hewitt. The Oregonian has this to say about Hewitt, “Perhaps if he were elected to Congress he would be submerged among the small group of fuzzy thinkers who incline toward socialistic solutions of all problems ”. Hewitt is of such stature and integrity that the Grange, the Farmers Union, the CIO, the AFL. R.R. Brotherhoods. Inti. Machinists Union, and others have endorsed him. We all know that they endorse only candidates who are friendly to them. Look at a man’s friends when judging the man. This is truer in politics than any other field. None of these organizations have endorsed Norblad, yet the Oregonian says that if Hewitt were elected, "We doubt that he would approximately represent the thinking of the people of his district and state". Norblad does not represent the workers, the farmers, and the small business men. or they would have endorsed him—so just what and whom does he represent? We think you know he represents the big money crowd. Why not elect your friend Hewitt U. S. Representative? All indica tions point to the fact that he would do a good job. In the Second district Lowell Stockman, the encumbent, was endorsed. Even the Oregonian admits, "his record has some holes in it, particularly in foreign affairs”. Homer I). Angell wan endorsed in the Third district He without a doubt is the best of the four Republicans. The only good thing the Oregonian haa to say about him is that he has "very vital seniority". Angell is the only one of the four Republican Congreshmen’ who has been endorsed by labor and other low income groups. For the Fourth district, Harris Ellsworth was given the so-called vital and important endorsement of the Oregonian. The Oregonian says, “he is a conservative, ax is Stockman, and he bases his conservatism on careful thinking and years of experience as a newspaperman". Yes, Mr. Ellsworth is a conservative; he la one of 24 out of 4S5 representatives who voted wrong on 12 major issues according to the CIO. Ellsworth voted against the new minimum wage bill, against expanding Social Security, against continuation of rent control, against providing sufficient funds for the European Recovery Program, and against the Korean aid bill, plus seven other bills which were vital to our national prosperity and international security. The Oregonian says this of Ellsworth. "His practice is to analyze the important domestic and international problems before Congress and to share his opinions with the voters of his district through weekly releases published in many news papers............ ” How could any man analyze the important domestic issues and still vote against every hill which would have benefitted the low and middle income groups? How could any man analyze the important international issues and then vote against aid to Korea, against European Recovery Aid, and against sufficient funds to carry out the point four program (point four program is to improve living conditions in other nations of the world and is our best weapon against communism)? Ellsworth by his voting record shows that on domestic issues his thinking is of the 1900 variety and that he han no understanding of the present World conditions. Yet thin in the man who said that this election was "not a content between Republicans and Democrats hut one between communists and fellow travelers and the rest of us”.

I would like to express my appre ciation to the citizens of Mill City (especially Santiam Sam) in all of the co-operation that they gave to me (a stranger) in your town. I heard from several of the citi-1 zens, that they had been fighting for the correction of this bad hill, which is dangerous not only to the citizens, but also travelers as well. I hope sincerely that this letter will help them in their fight, to have this hazard removed from your city. Sincerely, J. H. BROWN, Box 256, Silverton, Oregon. Editor's Letter Box: Dear Sir:—On the nite of October 20th about 7 o’clock, I was parked in front of Epps Furniture Store. Just after entering my car, while still parked, I was struck by a car, that the driver lost control of while descending the hill leading out of the city towards Detroit. In my estimation the hill is a driving hazard of the worst kind and and should be eliminated. My mother, Mrs. S. K. Brown, was injured and medical care was neces sary. She has head and shoulder in for one who is afraid to stand on his own record to call opponents com munists or fellow travelers? Opposing Ellsworth is David C. Shaw, a democrat, who the Oregonian calls “a personable newcomer to Oregon". Who, according to the Oregonian, “has not had time to familiarize himself with Oregon or Fourth district problems; ....’’ Some men in a few short years can see and realize the problems faced by voters of their district while others go blindly on their way. Mr. Shaw shows promise of developing into a real leader, a man that the state of Oregon can be proud of. His insight into foreign affairs has been excellent, his domestic platform is sound, and his performance in high government positions has been outstanding. It would seem that the voters of the Fourth district should vote for and elect David C. Shaw. This paper, unlike The Oregonian, does not know or profess to know what is best for the state and the nation. It has studied the records of the candidates and listened to their speeches and has come to the conclu sion as given. We, unlike the Oregonian do not ask you to accept our views. W'e do ask you to study the men and their records both in and out of public office. We ask you to find out what organizations and groups are supporting and sponsoring each candidate.
