Spotlight In 1956 ("Background for '56": This is the first in a series of four snides about what to expect in Oregon's political campaigns next year, combined with background about whit happened in recent years. This political primer for voters and candidates was written by The Associated Press correspondent in Saiem. who has covered Oregon's political scene since 1937.) By PAUL W. HARVEY JR. Associated Press Staff Writer Oregon, having earned a national reputation as a key slate in politics in 1948, 1952 and 1954, is headed for the spotlight again next year. In the primary election on May 18. the country will be watching Oregon to learn its choice for the presidential nominations. And Uie general election Nov. o will have national importance be cause U.S. Sen. Wayne Morse, the Republican-iuined-Democrat, will be up for reelection. Only 19 states hive presidential primaries, viewed as tests of pub lic sentiment 10 guiae me national conventions in choosing their pres idential nominees. Six are regarded by national party leaders as the important ones. These arc: New Hampshire March 13, Minnesota March 20, Wisconsin April 3, Nebraska May 15, Oregon May 18, and California June 5. Oregon's primary is unique In that a candidate's name can be iiled without his consent. Candi dates file their own candidacies, but petitions, bearing 1,000 signa tures, can force any reluctant can dictate into the race. Oregons presidential primary first assumed national importance in 1P48. In that year, Thomas E. Dewey and Harold Stassen stumped the state like candidates for sheriff, with Dewey winning a 117,554 to become the choice of Oregon's Republicans to win the Republican nomination for presi dent. Dewey won the GOP nomina tion that year, and most political observers say that his Oregon vic tory had a lot to do with it. In the general election that year. Dewey carried Oregon . against Focused On State Election Campaign President Truman by a 348,6.(5 to Z.3bo margin. That year, 1948, was the first time in 20 years that Oregon went Republican in a presidential elec tion. President Roosevelt curried the state all tour times he ran. In 1952. .when President Elsen hower still was in Paris as NATO commander, Mark Hatfield, then a state representative, became one of the first men in the country to launch an Eisenhower - for Presi dent drive. Hatfield, now a state senator, distributed the petitions that put Eisenhower on the primary ballot. Eisenhower wou handily in the OOP primary. So Oregon gave the President a good send-off. On the Democratic side, 8en. Estes Kefauver was the choice for the presidential nomination. He got 142.440 votes to 20,353 for Adlal Stevenson, who did not announce his candidacy until the Democratic National Convention that nominat ed him. In the November election, Ore gon stayed in the GOP column, Eisenhower getting 420.825 votes and Stevenson 270,579, The results of the presidential primary are binding upon the Oregon delegates elected to the national party conventions Next year, Oregon will have 18 delegates to the Republican Na tional Convention. Ten will be elected from the state at large. and two from each congressional district. There will be -12 delegates to the Democratic National Con vention, lour from the state at large and two from each congres sional district. These delegates, along with the national committeemen and com miltcewoinen for each party, will be elected at the May 18 primary election. The Oregon delegates are pledged to use their "best efforts" to bring about the nomination of the candidate who has won their state presidential primary. This customarily means they have to keep on voting for him at the na tional convention until he releases them. The candidates for delegate have until March 9 to llle their candi dacies, and they take the pledge at that time. However, candidates for delegate sometimes file by pe tition, and thus avoid having to sign the pledge to follow the peo ples wishes, but none who did that has been elected in the past 35 years. Each party has one national com mitteeman and a committeewom- j an lor each state. Thev serve lour years, and are generally consider ed the party leaders for their own stiles. , In the presidential primary, the Democratic race in Oregon likely will see Adlai Stevenson, Estes Kefauver and Averell Harrlman on the ballot, whether they want to be or not. If President Elsenhower runs again, he probably would be the only candidate in the GOP race in this state. If he doesn't, sev eral. Republicans probably will be entered by their supporters. Next: What does it cost to run for office?
