/ Owing to the fact that the city
was powerl6ss TO open registration
books for the election more or less
trouble was experienced at the polls
The judges We're guided by the books
Of the last city election, but there
were many legal voters whose name
did not appear on them, but did ap-
pear on the books of the county
clerk. As the judges had no access
to these poll books, they declined
during the forenoon to permit vot-
ers who had registered with the
county clerk to vote, only by swear
ing their vote in through Blank A.
Many declined to do this and went
away from the polls without voting.
During the afternoon the election
judges did not insist on Blank A, but
voters were permitted to vote who
would swear they were registered
with the county clerk. 1t is con
tended by some that had this policy
been pursued during the forenoon,
that sufficient votes would have been
secured to defeat the proposition as
they claim most Of those who de-
clined TO vote through Blank A
we're opposed to the purchase Of the
plant This, however, is merely q
supposltion, In order, however, ac-
cording to legal authority to base
contest upon this, it will be neccs-
sary to show that there was a suGi-
cicnt number who offered to vote
and were excluded, to have changed
the result of the elections.

The special election held here
yesterday for the purpose of deter
mining whether the city charter
should be so amended as to give The
council authority to purchase the
water plant of the Salem Water
company was carried by a majority
vote of 83, and unless some unfore-
seen obstacle shall arise the council
Will in the near future float bonds
for the purchase of the plant
After It's purchase It will be the
plan of the council and it has gone
on record to that effect to connect
the plant with some gravity system
with some mountain source as its
supply, and when this Is done Salem
will have pure water, and will not

standard bearers In the congressional
ann aign must be men whom the
ieople will instinctively trust.
This is year when factional poll

gotten in the choice of congressional
candidates. 1t is year for pickine
nut the highest grade men to repre-
sent the party in Congress.
In a sense the Democratic party. a.
we'll as the Republicans. is on tria
this year. For 1t is the historic party
