ee ee NEVADA COUNTY NUGGET » PRIMARY ENDORSEMENTS — With primary elections less than four weeks away, the Nugget today announces. its recommendations for the June 7 ballot. On the Republican ballot, we recommend George Christopher for nomination for Governor, Robert E. Finch for Lt. Governor, Frank Jordan for Secretary of State, Houston I. Flournoy for Controller, and Spencer Williams for Attorney General. We recommend these men because they are notextremists. They represent the steady moderates. of the painfully split Republican party. On the Democratic ballot, we strongly recommend the nomination of Governor Edmund G. "Pat" Brown for re-election. Samuel Yorty is not the type of man we'd want as our state's chief executive. His desire for power has led him down a political path which could be disastrous for the state. Governor Brown, in his two terms in office, has proved himself to be level-headed, moderate, energetic and courageous. He has guided the state with a steady hand. He deserves re-election. He has proved tobea competent executive, one in whom the people of California can put their confidence. we recommend the re-election of Glenn M. Anderson. Thomas Braden, who has been in open battle with the Superintendent of Public Instruction for four years as Braden chaired the State Board of Education, could have resolved the battle with his old enemy by opposing him on the ballot, by challenging him for the post of Superintendent of Public Instruction, — As it is, we can make no recommendation on the post of Superintendent of Public Instruction, since Rafferty has no opposition of any stature, and Braden has chosen to try to usurp a man who has been doing his job as Lt. Governor well. As Lt. Governor, Glenn Anderson has been an excellent lieutenant toGovernor Brown. Brown has been able to turn the reins of government over to Anderson in the knowledge that Anderson would carry out Brown's policies, not initiate new ones of his own, when the Governor has. left the state. In some administrations in the past, this was not possible. Norbert A. Schlei is our choice for Secretary of State on the Democratic ballot. For the post of Controller, Alan Cranston has our endorsement. He has served well as controller; heis a conscientious and dedicated public servant. Mill Street, Grass Valley, 1933: LETTER TO THE EDITOR To the Editor: It is one of them days again, wet and gloomy so I am looking back a little over 70 years. I can see housewives doing their washings, A boiler on the stove with boiling water and the lady of the house skinning their knuckles on the old tin scrubbing board. I don't want to leave out the soap they were using, Remember the old yellow soap that smelled like hell? And your hands, oh yes, your hands were plenty red and rough. In them days you did not have as many kinds of soap or soap powders to pick from. I know of only two kinds then. If I tile andthe old yellow soap that was called Sappolio, There was some Chinese laundrys if you took your wash there they gave you a ticket, If you lost your ticket you was out of luck; it was gone.
