Primary Election May 25
Tuesday we will go to the polls to select our candidates in
the Primary Election.
Of national importance is the Presidential primary, and
after reading almost daily since the New Hampshire election
about who's in the lead, and who wins what, we Oregonians
will now have our chance to state a preference.
Oregon Republicans will choose between President Gerald
Ford and Ronald Reagan, and this race nationally has been
close with Reagan a strong challenger.
Democrats have ten choices on the ballot. Several have
given up the race. Hubert Humphrey and Edward Kennedy
profess not to be running, and the race seems to have
narrowed to Jimmy Carter. Morris Udall, and late challengers
Idaho Senator Frank Church and California Governor
Edmund G. Brown. Jr., and the latter is a write-in candidate
in Oregon.
In Malheur County the spirited race between incumbent
Judge Jeff Dorroh and District Attorney Frank Yraguen for
Circuit Judge has overshadowed the other candidates races,
and most positions are uncontested.
Not to be overlooked is the three-way race for Justice of the
Peace. Nyssa District. Incumbent Judge E. Otis Smith is
opposed by Everett Ballou and Don Engstrom, with each of
the candidates waging a low-key. gentlemanly campaign.
The Circuit Judge race has been something different. The
candidates themselves. Judge Dorroh and Frank Yraguen,
have spoken on the issues and have campaigned vigorously,
and fairly.
Not so, in many cases, with some of their supporters.
Bumper stickers have been torn off cars, signs burned in front
yards, and behaviour more characteristic of adolescent
hoodlums than responsible voters has been evidenced. We
have never seen anything quite like it.
If there is anything basic in our democratic system, it is the
right to seek and campaign for public office, and to support
the candidate of your choice. We have been aware of more
than the usual bitterness and vindictiveness in this campaign,
and that isn't in keeping with our traditional sense of fair play
and fellowship predominant in Malheur County.
When you read this issue of the Journal and other county
newspapers, you will note that each of the ballots is printed
and published in both English and Spanish. Malheur County
is one of two or three in Oregon selected for this experiment,
and we believe that it is both an unnecessary expense and an
insult to our Mexican ancestry citizens. As you have already
noticed, the Oregon Voters' Pamphlet is printed in both
English and Spanish.
County Clerk Bob Morcom said that only one Spanish ballot
was requested in each of the TVCC elections, and there will
probably be relatively few in the primary election Tuesday. It
is costing us thousands of dollars for this experiment, and it
should be stopped.

Valves to 'Ia
Editor. The Journal:
We now have an oppor
tunity to place a better man
in the office of circuit court
judge. For years we have
looked for such a man to
replace Judge Dorroh, and
now we have found him.
Frank Yraguen is that
man. And we should not let
this opportunity slide by
unheeded.
The ugly facts you have
heard about the present
judge in court are not idle, ill-
founded rumors. Do you wish
proof? Eye-witness accounts?
Ask any of the persons who.
as jurors in his court, have
suffered humiliation and
witnessed uncompromising
severity at their expense. Ask
any of the spectators as well
as participants in the present
judge's trials during the past
many years.
Frank Yraguen will change
all that. Justice and firmness.
Yes—but no abuse, no lack of
sympathy, no name-calling.
Frank Yraguen will bring
you also much experience,
great knowledge of the law.
wisdom and total fair-play
emanating from his good
moral character.
I personally feel that it is
our long-overdue opportunity
to place a better man into the
office of circuit court judge.
Opportunity? Our obligation,
rather, as citizens of this
district with the welfare of
our people at heart.
Frank Yraguen is our man.
Please, we must not let this
opportunity slip through our
fingers.

Ingathering Sunday
Sunday. May 2J. is the
date for the ingathering of
the United Thank Offering at
St. Paul's Episcopal Church,
according to Mrs. Dorothy
Russell. UTO Chairman.
The Rev. Jim More will be
celebrant of the Eucharist at
II a.m.. assisted by the Rev.
Tish Croom, deacon.
The U.T.O. program be
gins with individuals who
express their recognition of
the presence of God in their
daily lives, and their thanks
giving for this presence, by
saying a simple prayer and
placing a small coin in a blue
cardboard box. The box
becomes, in time, a reminder
of many blessings, and the
coins become an outward
physical expression of thanks
giving for these Messings.
All coins of individuals
from parishes and missions
of the Episcopal Church are
united annually into one
great offering. From this
offering, grants go each
year—both in the United
States and overseas—for new
projects and programs, capi
tal needs for building and
repair, development funds,
and new forms of mission.
The United Thank Offering
is a very special program in
the life of the Episcopal
Church wherever the Church
family may be. It has deep
ened the understanding and
practice of prayer and streng
thened Christian teaching
and service in hundreds of
communities on every conti
nent.
