I speak, of course, of the defeat of courag eous R epresentative Em il Stunz. It was my pleasure to w ork w ith Em il in the Elections com m ittee of the House w here his co n trib u tions to the form ation of the elec tion law s of this state w ill long be in evidence. O nly through his hard w ork and considerate h an d l ing could the needed revisions have been m ade. A lthough of op posite parties, Em il and I voted sim ilarly—and this should not be alarm ing, for w e rep resen ted like com m unities and w hat is good for R epublicans of E astern O re gon is also good for D em ocrats of E astern Oregon. But, w h at should alarm th e citi zens of this state is th a t solid legislator Em il S tunz can be cut dow n in the prim aries because he voted his convictions on labor legislation, because he spoke out against the gang try in g to ru le o u r state, and because he felt the 6 percent tax reduction of G over nor Holm es’ thinking was rid icu lous in view of the high surplus and w as w illing to fight for the tax reduction to w hich the ta x payers w ere entitled. If one of th e prereq u isites to being a successful can didate re q u ires the play in g of cheap p arty politics and the kow tow ing to professional labor leaders, then, the citizens of O regon are in trouble and the fu tu re w ell-being of our state is gravely jeo p ard iz ed. S incerely, STA FFO R D HANSELL R epresentativ e S taffo rd H ansell A thena, Oregon. Published every T hursday at Nyssa, M alheur County, Oregon. E ntered at the postoffiee at Nyssa, Oregon, for transm ission through the U nited States Mails, as a second class m atter under the act of M arch 3, 1879. To escape comment or criticism, do nothing, be nothing, say nothing. Adherence to Political Parties Conflicts With Constituents' Wishes Som ething has been added to th e M alheur county political scene th a t could drastically change political activities and even the m anner in which public officials are elected to office. The defeat of Emil A. Stunz by Clyde H. Snider for the Democratic nom ination for state representative was the result of long and well planned activity on the part of the county Democratic C entral com m ittee. The vigor ous prim ary cam paign was based on the concentrated issue of “defeat Stunz.” Prepared and m ailed to each registered Democrat the day before the prim ary election was a le tte r containing innuendos and im plications to castigate Stunz and ques tion his ability as a representative of the people. The most serious charge against Stunz was his failure to follow party lines. These letters w ere mailed on a time schedule to prevent Stunz from answ ering any of the charges through any of the county’s th ree new spapers or by direct mail. W hen asked by The Jo u rn al about the tactics used, one of the Democratic officials commented, “A fter all, th a t’s politics.” The Journal can agree th at “politics is politics" and too frequently anything goes. Republicans are not ad verse to using such tactics and m any of them have a t tem pted and have used such means to gain th eir end. For the Stunz issue, his Republican and Democratic supporters probably did not use the “politics is politics” system because of any special endow m ent of superior virtue, but because they w ere unorganized, over-confi dent and somewhat adam ant. The big issue and the most severe challenge against Stunz in the Party letter was th at he had not followed party lines and had on several occasions failed to agree w ith Gov. Robert Holmes, the state party leader, on several issues. H ere lies the political concept th e rank and file voter m ust consider: Should a candidate and elected official dogm atically adhere to the policies of his party even though some of those policies m ight disagree w ith the m ajority thinking of the candidate’s or office-holder’s constituents? It cannot be denied th a t Stunz was overw helm ingly defeated by m em bers of his p arty in the prim ary elec tion. But here again the question m ust be raised and it can be readily answ ered. The prim ary vote was not from Rep. S tunz’ constituents, but from m em bers of his party. W hat do the to n stitu e n ts w ant? T hat question was not answ ered in the prim ary election. So often the statem ent, “I vote for the man and not th e p arty ” is used. Is this right or is it wrong? This theory is especially im portant in choosing men for local offices, but does the Democratic p arty advocate a straight party vote in general elections? The gist of the letter addressed “Fellow D em ocrat” would leave th at im pres sion. The G ate City Journal does not follow the theory of party first, last and alw ays and has never become “tied” to the Republican party. In fact, files of The Journal for six years contain m ore editorials critical of the Republi can party than of the Democratic party. We do not be lieve in strict adherence to party lines, w hether policies are dictated by the president of the United States or national, state and county chairm en of either m ajor poli tical organization. The Jo u rn a l’s forum column is open to the general public and especially chairm en of both county central committees to answ er the questions we have raised.
