Will Rush
Election
Returns
SECRETARY OLCOTT WILL RUSH
COUNTING OF RETURNS 50 As
TO PERMIT WOMEN TO VOTE AT
CITY ELECTINS,

lnasmuch as he has been advised
that a number of municipal elections
will occur during the months Of No
vember and December of the present
year, Secretary of State Olcott today
publicly announced that he would use
his best endeavors to expedite the Of
ficial canvass Of the vote cast at the
recent election, in order that the wo-
men, who were granted the right Of
suffrage by the passage Of the equal
suffrage amendment, may participate
in the local elections in their home
cities and towns.
In this connection Mr.. Olcott will
request the cooperation of the various
county clerks of the state, and urges
upon them the importance of carefully
verifying all Of their abstracts Of
votes before forwarding them to the
secretary Of state, as provided by law
and thus obvate the necessity of cor
recting possible errors in' the returns,
as he has been advised that at every
election It has been found necessary
to return some Of the abstracts for
correction. In fact in the first official
return Of the recent election just re-
ceived in his office some few minor
errors were found, which must be duly |
corrected before the official canvass
can proceed
Section 3l79 Of Lords Oregon Laws
provides that It shall be the duty Of
the secretary of state, in the presence
Of the governor to proceed within 80
days after the election, and sooner II
the returns be all received, to canvass
the votes given for each measure; and |
the governor shall forthwith issue his
proclamation giving the whole number
of votes cast in the state for and
against each measure in question, and

TAKE CARE OF CUSTOMERS

automobile makers of high grade motor
cars to-day maintain departments "hlch
take care Of the machines after they are
turned over to the purchasers.
James A. Manning, who has charge OF
this department for the Knox AutomoDie
Company, of Springfield. Mass, says:
Taking care of customers is now general
" admitted to be the correct policy. a
satisfied customer is the best advertise
nlent and the direct cause Of repeat orders.
Many OF the so-called troubles with auto
mobiles to-day are insignificant, yet 10 the
customer they are mountains.
"Our policy is to have every car looked
at by one of our experts at least once a
month. This expert makes whatever little
adjustments are necessary, ana advises

we not only take care Of the machine, but

which alone brings the best Of results. by

DECISION EXCITES INTEREST
Yachtsmen Find Parallel Be
tween German Boat and Joyant.

Yachtsmcn here are showing marked in
tcrest in a recent decision Of the perma-
rent committee Of the International Yacht
Racing Union regarding the measurement
Of the 6-metre Yacht klabautermann III.
The rule. as quoted i'm a recent number Of
The Field" says: Should there be any
notches or hollOws in the stem, steTnpOst
or stern Of the yacht, intended to reduce
the length for measurement. these are to
be taken into account by bridging in de-
termining the length when they are within
a vertical distance OF fifteen centimetres
above or below the measurement water
line" 1t is made clear that the said hol-
low in the profile refers not to all three,
but 10 a hollow In either OF the three-the
stem. the counter or the sternpost.
An almost parallel case to that OF the
German yacht named was that Of the
sloop yacht Joyant. owned by the com
modore Of the Indian Harbor Yacht Club
William II. Childs. which was protested
last summer by the owner Of one Of the
Eastern boats that raced against her in
the contest for the Manhasset Bay chal-
lenge cup. The case excited universal In
icrest among racing yachtsmen at the
time. Three months after the race two
members Of the regatta committee decided
in favor Of the Cara Mia the third men,
ber standing out against his confreres.
II was declared by those who protested
the Joyant. which was designed by the
Herreshoffs. that she had hollow lines at
the bow which, according TO the rule Of
measurement, should have been bridged,
and that by reason Of this she was able to
carry larger sail area than the others on
a measurement that was smaller than if
she had been measured by the same rule
as the other yachts I'm the race.
LANES Sparkman, the dissenting member
of the committee. declared that the Joyant.
having been officially measured with the
others before the race, and the committee
having accepted that measurement and AL
lowed the yacht 10 start. II was too late
after the race either 10 make protest on
that ground or for the committee 10 enter
tain one. and the yacht having fairly out
sailed the others she was, ne asserted
entitled 20 the prize.
Since the decision OF tho committee was
made public tho owner of the Joyant has
signifed his intention 10 appeal the case
