State Federation
Head Is Calf.
Congressman

SAN FRANCISCO (LPA) -
With unofficial results com
plete, John F. Shelley, president
of the State Federation of Labor
and Democratic candidate for
Congress from CALIFORNIA; fifth
district, scored a resounding vic
tory over his Republican and
Wallace-Progressive opponents.
The early count gave Shelley
1887 votes. The Republican
choice, Lloyd Cosgrove, obtain
ed 52,354 votes, and the Wal
lace-Progressive aspirant, Chas.
r. Garry, received sparse
9,945.
In the race for the seat made
vacant by the death of Rep.
Richard j. Welch, a Republican
who fought the Taft-Hartley
act, Shelley ran on platform
of Labor First, Democrat Sec
ond." Cosgrove, Shelley's Re-
publican oppon ent, dashed
around demanding Taft Hartley
injunctions against the United
Ste elworke er s-CIO and the
United Mine, Workers.
Shelley was enthusiastically
supported by the AFL, by the
National CIO-PAC and by the
California National CIO-PAC.
His election is new evidence of
labor's growing political power
in California.
Shelley is no newcomer to the
political arena, having been a
state senator from 1888 to 1916.

A number of circumstances
contributed to this result, Clay
man said. They included, First
the oleo issue got people in the
habit of voting yes on the bal
lot. Second, the Labor move
ment and liberals in general
didn't do a good enough job.
Third, the proponents poured at
least a quarter of million dol
lars into an enormous propa-
ganda drive. And fourth, people
were just generally confused by
the complexity of the ballot in
most counties"

Boards of Elections will be re-

pointed out, urging every CIO
and PAC officer in Ohio to be-
gin an intensive registration
drive at once.
Claym5n concluded
eve must work at political
action more intensively than ev-
er before. We must break down
our membership lists and get
every one of our members and
their families registered.
IF our people register and get
out and vote in 1850, the results
of the election will be an over
whelming victory for liberalism.

budgeted for power dam construc-
ton, he said. "We have lost about
two years because of these slash
es," Hurd said. He said everything
was "being done now to speed up
construction of dams" to add more
power, and that the shortage was
not acute only here but over the
entire northwest.
Biggest factor in creating the
shortage is the freezing over OF
small streams. He said it was an
average water year in the Column
bia river but that the cold stretch
had diminished the supply of wat.
