WILL HAVE A FULL SLATE
Democrats Will Have a Candidate for
Almost Every Office,

Though the registration books in
dicate that the republicans in Una
tilla county outnum ber the democrats
about four to one, the minority party
is TO have practically a complete
county ticket in the field at the COM
ing election. No aspirants have yet
appeared for the offices of recorder,
treasurer or joint senator, but there
will be candidates for all the other
offices, says the East Oregonian.
AS the following democratic aspir-
ants will probably be unopposed in
the primaries. they will undoubtedly
form the ticket for their party in the
general election:
State Senator, DR.. O. J. Smith,
(present enoumbent.
Sheriff, T. D. Taylor, (present en-
cumbent.)
County Judge, James Maloney of
Pendleton.
County Commissioner, j. b. Lieu
allen, of Weston.
Representatives, Joe Saylor of Una
tilla. and Louis Scholl, jr, mayor of
Echo.
Joint representative froo Umatilla
aud Morrow counties. Jos N. Scott,
Athena.
Coroner. DR.. Fred Lieuallen of Pilot
Rock. -
1t is not fully settled that DIR. Lieu
allen will be the candidate for coro-
per. DR.. Henderson, who formerly
held the Office is being talked of again
while il DR.. ID. j. MoFaul should an
nounce himself candidate for the
republican nomination 1t is said that
no democrat will oppose him.
According to Chairman Peterson of
tho central committee, an executive
committee has reen appointed, con-
sisting Of II. J. Taylor, J. Hudeman
and Mayor II. J. Murphy. T. j.
Tweedy has also been named as trea-
surer of the executive committee. The
primary law makes provision for the
appointment of an executive commit
tee aud other officers Of the central
committee.

and expended in other states. This
was accomplished by the repeal of
Section Of the Reclamation Act by
the Ways and Means committee, of
which Congressman Ellis is a mem
Der. He will show how the Interior
Department has juggled the land laws
until mans rights to take up govern
ment land are no longer worth any
thing to him. LaffeIty will have
something to say about the proposed
abandonment of the Umatilla irriga-
tion project by the government.
The second district will make no
mistake by electing A. w. Ldfferty TO
congress. He has the ability to do
things for his state. Lafferty is 35
years old, just the right age to enter
congress. He was raised ON a farm
in Pike county. Missouri. and served
as prosecuting attorney in that state
before coming to Oregon six years ago.
He also lectured on criminal law In
the Missouri state university. He was
elected in Missouri by an oyerwhelm-
ing majority on the republican ticEet
in democratic county. Lafferty has
worked hard for Oregon the past six
years and he is just as we'll liked here
as be was in Missouri.

Watts of this city will teach the 4th

North Dakota will instruct the 2nd

The new principal has Teen in
charge of the schools at Gresham for
three years and was elected for the
coming year, but desired a change,
hence the Athena board was enabled
to secure his services.
Everything in the way of credentials
goes to indicate that the board has
succeeded in securing teachers of ex

Some needed improvements will
probably be accom- bplished at the
school house and grounds before
school commences. An office for the
