Fewer than 10 voice support, by name, for President Johnson. Mid five Democratic slogans express decidedly anti I BJ sentiment.

One is pledged to California Gov. Ronald Reagan for President, and two slogans promote a Rockefeller-Reagan ticket for the nation's two top offices. Six slogans express tx-lu-f that "Nixon’s the One”, any shift in earlier Rockefeller support may be expected to go to Nixon sooner than to th«- more con servative Reagan. These observations take into account all th«- slogans filed as of March 19, both Republican and Democratic. Voters pam phlets for the primary election will carry only candidates and slogans of the party jn which the voting recipient is regis tered. It will be noted in the pam phlets and on the May 28 bal lots that some candidates hav«- no ballot slogans. Considering the speed with which circum stances change today, per haps -- unless they are in a position to urge something like "Re-elect your incumbent” -- perhaps they are the can niest politicians of all. Ballot slogans can make in teresting reading -- especially between the lines. Those little "quotations’’ fol lowing candidates’ names on the ballot very seldom encapsule their complete political philo sophies. But they can be nidi cative of issues and trends and. overliH'king tin- inevitabh cliches, of what the candidates believe to be the voters’ big gest concerns. Generally, ballot slogans are of two types. One reflects the record, abilities or qualifica tions of the candidal«- himself, while the second type attempts to define issues. The latter, of course, is of more specu lative interest. Thus it is interesting to note, with filings for public office in Oregon now completed, that more than a dozen state-level candidates of both parties call in their slogans for property tax relief. One House candi date specifically seeks repealof personal property taxes ami inventory taxes. Reflecting the tax reform deadlocks of last year’s legislature, seven put themselves on record against a sales tax. Other evidence of changing times pops up among those slogans filed here --by candi dates for national or state office or party convention delegations. Six are running on statements, for example, opposing the transfer of Veterans’ loan funds to state use. And, while many promise work for conservation and preservation of scenic areas, the anti-pollutionclaims of two years ago are conspi cuously absent -- reflecting the positive action taken in that area by the 1967 legislature.
