Local Developments Over
Shadow News Of
Primaries.
By Malcolm Eplcy
Local politics were on their
way to a bock scat in the pub
licity wagon Saturday. The Man
ning trial unquestionably will
overshadow the political show in
public Interest during the com
ing fortnight, but prospects are
that the battle tor votes will
continue with Increasing inten
sity, even though it may be push
ed down in the headlines.
Klamath Falls continued as a
center ot interest and activity in
the governorship race this week,
despite the absence ot the local
gubernatorial candidate. Mayor
Maboney. Three other guberna
torial candidates Frank Loner-gan-
and Joo Dunne." republicans;
and' H. E. Wlrth, Independent
were in town.
Autunm Race Viewed
Confusing reports come In
about the Maboney candidacy,
and the Information given out by
the visiting gubernatorial candi
dates did not clear up all of the
questions to be asked in that
situation.
There is, however, a noticeable
trend among politicians to tho
belief that Mahoney would be
much easier to bent In the fall
than Martin. If the democrats
nominate the general. It is pretty
well conceded that the democrats
are going to make a powerful
bid for the governorship. It
Mahoney wins the democratic
nomination, a lot ot folks, seem
to think the -republicans or a
strong Independent can keep the
democrats out of tho governor
ship picture.
Meier Again Considered .
Fitting into this theory is the
report that It Mahoney and Ru
fus Holman should be nominated.
Governor Julius Meier might
come out after the primary as
an Independent.
There is a lot ot speculation
about the motive behind tho
shift of registration from repub
licans to democrats. . One ob
server, who has been in every
part of the state, declared em
phatically to this writer thnt
loyal republicans were reregist
ering to vote tor Mahoney in the
hope that he would be nominated
and in the belief that a repub
lican nominee conld knock over
the mayor easior than tho gen
eral next November.
Another report is that repub
licans are strongly for Martin,
and aro re-registering to help
the "democrats nominate him in
stead of Mahoney.
Klamath Mayor Frcfcrred
Frank Lonergan, republican
.candidate who wns here on a.
visit as an Elks officer, Intimated
he would much rather have Ma
honey to fight than Martin, in
the fnll. Lonergan Is recognis
ed as a strong candidate. He
is widely known, and has seen
much legislative service. He is
coming back later on In tha
campaign.
