The Indians of the Siletz are to
be congratulated over the manner
in which they conducted the
election last Monday. This was
the first election held since the
Indians have become citizens, and
there was much speculation as to
how they would deport themselves.
To their honor and credit be it
said that the election at that place
was one of the quietest ones in the
county. Everything was orderly
and quiet, and the Indians as rule
voted intelligently. There was no
drunkenness or misconduct of any
kind. They are all right.

The Battle Is Over.

The battle of the ballots in
Lincoln county last Monday was
one of great interest to the people
of Lincoln county, and as a con-
sequence thereof a full vote was
polled in nearly every precinct.
The issues that entered into the
campaign have been somewhat
distracting to the average voter.
With three county tickets running
and county seat election on the
side a considerable mixture was
the natural result.
But now that the people have
spoken on the matter and settled it
all by their ballots, there is but one
course open to be pursued, and that
is to now unite for the common
good of the county. 1t is true
that as far as the county officers
are concerned the LEADER would
have liked to have seen the whole
democratic ticket elected, but the
people decided that they wished
others in certain Offices, and we
will bow to the will of the people.
The officers elected will no doubt
perform their various duties with
fidelity and integrity, and if that
is done no citizen Of the county can
OBJECT.
The location of the county-seat
has been permanently settled at
Toledo by decisive vote of the
people, and that question should
be taken out of county politics
in this county now in the future.

Old Santa Claus Van Cleve and
Long Eared Matthews twisted and
screwed around on the county-seat
fence until the last issues of their
socalled papers before election and
then they both slid off into the
West Yaquina camp with a dull
thud. AS for Old Santa Claus
Van Cleve, the people of Toledo
fully appreciate his contemplate
actions and will no doubt fully
reward him for it. For man who
received bonus for locating here
and then has been kept up for
charity's sake ever since, his be-
trayal of their interests marks the
depraved character of the man. II
will be in order now for the people
of Toledo to hold a few more
sociables and take the cake and pie
that is left over to Santa Claus Var
Cleve, and also his charitable
friends ought to keep right or
carrying grub in to him. o
course if he can get new suit o
So clothes he will probably sci
them out again. AS for Long
cared Matthews three months age
we plainly stated that this thing
and his paper were for sale, and i
was only question of who would
make an offer.

Toledo now has the county.seat
but that in itself is nothing to
build town on. 1t will be of no
benefit unless we take advantage
of its help. We must work hard
and increasingly to get roads to
every part of the county and to
keep up and improve those which
we now have. Encouragement
must be given to all legitimate
enterprises. The people of the
county must be treated literally.
In short we must prove now to
the people that we are worthy of
having county-seat.

1t is but natural after a hard
fight, like that recently gone
through on county-seat in this
county, that there should be some
bitterness existing on both sides.
We hope, therefore, that all i'll
feeling will be dropped and our
people will continue to work to-
gether as a unit on all matters
affecting the interests ofthe county.

The result of last Mondays
election in this county was a de-
cided mix-up, no one of the three
parties having any particular ad-
vantage in county offices. On the
legislative and state tickets the
republicans polled a plurality, but
Vanderburg, populist, was not far
behind Tongue, the republican.
Yates for district attorney had
decided majority over the fusion
candidate. On the county ticket
ii was anybody's race and every
body's choice. The result is about
an equal division between the three
parties. The democrats have
elected the clerk and the assessor;
the republicans have elected the
treasurer, commissioner, schoo
superintendent and coroner; and
the populists have elected the
sheriff and surveyor. The contest
for surveyor was the closest, with
that for sheriff next.
The vote on county seat was
decisive and the vote was largely or
the lines as divided by the river
Nearly the whole solid north side
vote went for Toledo.
There has been heavy increase
in the vote over that of two year:
ago. At that election there were
S32 votes polled for county seat, and
this year the vote reached total O
100 votes on county seat.
Of this increase I4o are indians
on the Siletz and 1913 represents the
increase in the white votes in tht
county.
