(See back of book for list of candidates and Index) General Election, November 3, 1964 3 Measure No.1 Capital Punishment Bill proposed by the Fifty-second Legislative Assembly by Senate Joint Resolution No. 3, filed in the office of the Secretary of State June 10, 1963, and referred to the people as provided by section 1, Article XVII of the Constitution. Explanation By Committee Designated Pursuant to ORS 254.210 The Constitution of Oregon presently provides that the penalty for first degree murder shall be death unless the trial jury recommends life imprison­ ment. The proposed constitutional amendment removes this section from the constitution and places the matter in the hands of the Legislature. If the amendment passes, the Legislature is thereby given power to fix the penalty for murder in the first degree. The Legislature has already decided on the matter of the penalty for first degree murder by passing laws which will go into effect if this constitutional amendment passes. These laws provide that the penalty for first degree murder will be life imprisonment with no possibility of parole for at least 10 years and should parole be granted with no possibility ever of a discharge from parole. Therefore, the immediate effect. of the amendment and of the legislation which automatically goes into effect with it is to repeal the death pena~ty in Oregon for first degree murder and to substitute the penalty of life imprisonment. The penalty for second degree murder-that is murder without premedi­ tation or deliberation-is presently a matter outside the constitution and within the power of the Legislature. When the penalty for first degree murder was death, the Legislature prescribed a life sentence for second degree murder. If the death penalty now gives way to life imprisonment, the Legis­ lature prescribes a 25 year sentence for second degree murder with no possibility of parole for 7 years. Summary The Oregon Constitution now reads: "The penalty for murder in the first degree shall be death, except when the trial jury shall in its verdict recom­ mend life imprisonment ..." If this ballot measure is passed, this sentence will be removed from the constitution. The Legislature will then have the power to fix the penalty for first degree murder. It has already decided that the. penalty for first degree murder will be life imprisonment with no possi­ bility of parole for ten years (and no possibility of a discharge from parole). If this amendment is defeated, the death penalty for first degree murder will remain in effect as a part of the constitution of the state. If you wish to retain the death penalty, vote "No" on ballot Measure No. 1. If you wish to abolish the death penalty, vote "Yes" on ballot Measure No. 1. Yours very truly, ROBERT BURTNER, Salem, OI:.egon BROCK DIXON, Portland, Oregon PAUL PFOTENHAUER, Portland, Oregon 4 Official Voters' Pamphlet Measure No. 1 Capital Punishment Bill Argument in Favor Submitted by Legislative Committee provided by Subsection (3) of OKS 255.421 VOTE# 1 YES TO ABOLISH THE DEATH PENALTY . The 1963 Legislature voted overwhelmingly to let the people of Oregon abolish the death penalty. Your repre,sentatives were convinced the people wish to end -capital punishment. Read what these thoughtful and distinguished Oregonians have to say: "I am opposed to -capital punishment and I support the referendum to abolish it."-Governor Mark 0. Hatfield "The spectre of an inno-cent man unjustly executed is constantly in my mind.".....:...Mult. County Dist. Atty. George Van Hoomissen "Capital punishment is a -carryover from the days of torture chambers and dungeons. I will vote 'Yes' on Ballot Measure One to remove this scourge from our penal code."-U. S. Senator Maurine Neuberger "Part of my training was to officially witness an execution. No experience has revolted me more."-Mult. County Sheriff Donald E. Clark "In my judgment, the taking of human life is the. prerogative of God, and not of men."-U. S. Senator Wayne Morse "I am strongly opposed to capital punishment and I have said s·o publicly on many occasions. I have no hesitancy in lending my name in support of Ballot Measure No. One."-Seeretary of State Howell Appling, Jr. THESE AND MANY OTHER RESPECTED AND WELL-KNOWN ORE­ GONIANS, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING, JOIN IN URGING YOU TO VOTE #1 YES: Eric W. Allen, Jr. Mrs. E. B. MacNaughton Bishop James W. F. Warren A. McMinimee Carman Harvey R. Nelson Walter C. Reynolds, M.D. Johnny Carpenter Rabbi Emanuel Rose Don Eva Hon. Charles A. Sprague Dr. Arthur S. Flemming Albert Starr, M.D. J. W. Forrester, Jr. Rev. Richard M. Steiner Bishop A. Raymond Dr. Richard H. Sullivan Grant Monroe Sweetland Charles R. Holloway, Jr. Rev. Paul E. Waldschmidt George Layman ' Edw. J. Whelan THE DEATH PENALTY IS BARBARIC AND UNNECESSARY; ¥0ST PEOPLE BELIEVE IT'S MORALLY WRONG. "Oregonians should vote to abolish capital punishment in this state in November."-The Oregonian The Medford Mail Tribune, the Portland Reporter, the Eugene Register Guard, the Oregon Journal, the Oregon Statesman (Salem), the East Ore­ gonian (Pendleton), are among the many other newspapers which have studied the issue and call for a YES vote on Measure # 1. Traditionally Oregon has led the nation. Let Oregon continue to move ahead. Support this bipartisan effort for progress. Vote # 1 YES. SENATOR DON S. WILLNER REPRESENTATIVE JAMES REDDEN REPRESENTATIVE VEOLA P. WILMOT General Election, November 3, 1964 5 Measure No. 1 Capital Punishment Bill Argument in Favor Submitted by the Oregon Council to Abolish the Death Penalty VOTE# 1 YES! ABOLISH THE DEATH PENALTY IN OREGON! "Thou Shalt Not Kill!" The State of Oregon should not sink to the level of a premeditated murderer by legalized killing. History will judge us as harshly for the gas chamber as we judge those who executed criminals by torture, crucifixion, stoning or burning at the stake. VOTE# 1 YES! ABOLISH THE DEATH PENALTY IN OREGON! Capital Punishment Doesn't Work! The death penalty has been repealed in much of the civilized world. Eight states in America have abandoned it. Homicides are fewer in those states than in the states which still use the death penalty.

The date is November 30, 1994, and this is the beginning of an oral history with James Redden. Today’s interview is in his chambers at the courthouse. As I said, today I’d like to talk about your earliest memories. Maybe we could start off by having you tell me a little bit about your mother and father and who they were, maybe starting with your father. JR: My father had the same name, James A. Redden; he was the first, I’m the second, and my son, James A. Redden III, of course lives here in Portland. My father was born at the turn of the century, one of eleven children of Eugene Redden and Ellen Tyrone McQuade Redden. His family came from Ireland. I believe it would be my great-great-great-grandfather, and maybe great-great-great-great-grandfather—I’ve got some records of that at home, and I’ll try to clarify that for you—but he came from Ireland as they say before the potato famine; that is, there was a relatively large group of Irish that moved over here before the potato famine, many of them artisans, as was he. He was a coppersmith and then moved to Albany, New York. Then I believe it was my great-grandfather that moved from Albany to Springfield, Massachusetts, and my grandfathers were a series of Eugene Reddens, which was my grand- father’s name.

  • Governor Elmo Smith's Administration
    Oregon State Archives 800 Summer Street NE Salem, OR 97310 503-373-0701 ext. 1 sos.oregon.gov/archives GOVERNOR ELMO SMITH ADMINISTRATION February 1, 1956 to January 14, 1957 Biographical Note Elmo Everett Smith was born Nov. 19, 1909 near Grand Junction, Colorado, to Wilmer E. and Katie (Mohler) Smith. He had four sisters and two brothers. He grew up on an uncle's ranch near Wilder, Idaho, after his mother and father died when he was 10 and 13, respectively. After he worked his way through the College of Idaho and received a B.A. in History in 1932, he moved to Ontario, Oregon. In 1933 Smith married Dorothy Leininger of Fayette, Idaho. He established himself as a newspaper owner and publisher. Voters twice elected him Mayor of Ontario before World War II. He resigned as Mayor in 1943 to enlist in the navy. After two years in the South Pacific, where he commanded a naval air transport base, he returned to Ontario and again was elected mayor. In 1948 Smith was elected to the Oregon Senate, representing Grant, Harney and Malheur counties. By that time he had sold his Ontario newspaper and purchased the John Day Blue-Mountain Eagle and an interest in the Madras Pioneer. As senator, he pushed hard for an equitable weight-mile tax for highway usage, and secured its passage in the legislature and approval by the voters in a referendum, defeating the trucking and logging interests who opposed it. He chaired the Roads and Highways Committee after Paul Patterson became Governor. In 1955 he was elected President of the Senate.
