THE ELECTION LAW.

WITHOUT doubt no state in the

law as the one under which Oregon
proposes TO hold its coming cleo

feature about the law as a whole
and some of It's propositions are so
absurd that they appear ridiculous
when one examines the whole thing
carefully.
Even statement number on"

tremely idiotic that few of the
candidates are willing to sign IL.
and those who do sign IL never in

tainly they will not keep the agree

Get Tickets Ready.

According to the city charter all
nominations for the coming city
election must be in the hands Of the
city recorder on or before Thurs
day, March az. The charter says:
SECTION 81. All persons to be
voted for at any city election shall,
not less than ten days before each
election, file with the recorder of
said city certificate Of nomination,
made by some political or mass con
vention, or a nomination signed by
not less than twenty-five legal
voters of said city, together with
the candidates written acceptance
of said nomination.
According to the common ac-
ceptance of the term, "ten days
before" means ten days between
the day of filing and the day of the
election-not counting in either Of
those days. Let there be no
blunder made to invalidate the
legality of the election.

As promised by THE REVIEW
some months ago there is to be a
free opening Of the ferry-and the
date has now been fixed as Sunday,
March IS. Remember that date
and tell all your acquaintances
about it. No doubt there will be
a large crowd from out of town,
while this city will of course be
largely represented.
1t may be remembered that
when the ferry franchise was be-
fore the city council THE REVIEW
promised that as soon as the ferry
was in proper running shape this
paper would see to il that there
was an Opening day" Through
the courtesy of Manager ]. T..
Brink this matter has been arranged
showing that what THE REVIEW
says may always be counted upon.
Everybody aud their acquain-
tances should see to it that this free
trip is enjoyed. There will be no
change in date-whether II be
stormy or not: II has been set for
Sunday, March Is--and on that
day the ferry boats will be thrown
open for the conservative use of the
public.
