DEMOCRATS NAME STRONG MEN TO OPPOSE
WEAK Spots IN THE REPUBLICAN TICKET

Umatilla county democrats named
the greater part of a county ticket
Friday and unless all signs fail the
minority party will have very form
idable candidates for number of To-
cal positions. a particular effort will
be made, it is understood, to elect
two members of the legislature and
county commissiner.
For legislative positions the names
of w. II. Skinner of Hermiston and
A. b. McEwen of Athena, were writ
ten in and presumably both men will
have the democratic nomination, Both
nominees ar emen of the highest
standing in their communities and
have excellent records to their credit.
Mr.. Skinner was formerly mayor of
Lewiston, Idaho, and Mr.. McEwen
but recently served term as mayor
of Athena. There are many. of both
political parties who are willing to
wager they will defeat Messrs. Mann
and Hinkle in the election this fall.
Among independent minded republi-
cans there is feeling of resentment
over the nomination OF Hinkle and
Mann who had the support of the old
machine organization during the cam
paign though strenuous denials of the
fact were made.
For county commissioner the demo-
Gratis have named Manuel Friedly and
