The long and Short of It in Oregon’s Politics ShREOON at the last election chose a United States senatot for the "abort vJ terns.” as it was marked on the brJIot. It now appear* that the ballot used language that waa substantially correct In most respects.

When the late Senator Lane died last year, Charles L. McNary was appointed by the governor of Oregon to

fill the vacancy until the people could pjamcktcu choose a successor at the Ust election.' OCCASION'

The short term expires March 4.

Senator McNary wanted to run for the • i

long term also. The Oregon election law* prohibited his name going on the bill at twice, it waa therefore

nece«s»/y to run a “dummy” csndl- _ ^

Ex-Scuitor Mulky was picked to r*7. for the abort term and Senator McNary

were elected.

Mr. Mulky U pledged tc resign hi* office hmnedlctety. however, to make way for the appointment of Senator McNary to fill out the short term. Mr. Mulky will come to Washington this week to take the oath of office. He will occupy his seat In the senate one day and then will resign. Senator McNary will be reappointed to fill out the term and will take his seat on March 4 for the long term wit hoot further Interruption. On the whole, the language of the Oregon ballet on election day seems to be accurate enough for all political purposes.
