He is Robert W. Ruhl, 54-year- old editor of the’ Medford Mbail- Tribune and once a schoolmate of President Roosevelt at Harvard. He helped smash an upheaval in Jackson county which threatened guerilla warfare in the first six months of 1933. Ruhl’s fight began when ,Llewel- lyn A. Banks, 70, an orchardist, developed political ambition and bought a newspaper plant to aid his desires, os Stirred into a violent temper by what he thought were gross wrongs perpetrated by city and clear county officials and fellow- resi- dents of the Rogue River valley, Banks organized his “Good Gov- ernment Congress.” Through his paper, the Daily News, he harangued the citizens and pleaded for support. “Ropes and nooses’”’ for some county of- ficials were demanded.
