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?
