Why the City Council refused Carr Greider's request that a municipal auditorium measure be included on the November ballot has never been satisfactorily, explained to me.

The Council's concern for the cost appears to me tofbe "penny wise and pound foolish." JASON LEE, Masonie Bldg. Editors and, Vojes The jousting between conservative Frank Streeter, editorial writer for the Grants Pass Courier, and liberal-minded Bob Ruhl of the Medford Mail-Tribune brings chuckles to their contemporaries in the writing trade. Streeter was a strong "partisan of while Ruhl followed the Neuberger line and turned against Cordon whom previously he had i Staunchly; supported. With Cordon's lead-in Jackson county cut from 6,874 in 1947 to 2,357 in 1954, Ruhl modestly admits "ascertain contribution to the net result." Streeter uses his pencil to figure that the Cordon majority in Jackson" county was almost exactly in accord with' the registration ratio; What is of real interest though is his own comment 6n the influence of editors on votes. It is the fruit of long experience which began back in North Dakota in Non-j partisan League days Streeter was, and a stalwart Republican.

Here is his view: As a matter of fact, we believe that a newspaper's editorial policy changes very 1 few votes daring an election campaign. It simply firms up the opinions of those read-ers who lean; towards its side, anyway. It rarely changes the conviction of the man whose mind is made up. On the other hand, the information con-i tained in the newspaper's news columns the year around, plus editorial discussion of the 1 public issues raised when an election is not pending, probably does have an effect on public sentiment, along with other publicity media such as radio and television. We would move to amend the observation that While editors do not control elections, they; do exert influence.

Ruhl's stand did affect the voting in Jackson county; and consistent support of Cordon bore fruit in Josephine county where Cordon's majority "was; far ahead of the party registration division. Streeter credits this to diligent precinct work, but the Courier editorials must have helped.
