CoRDovA TO RECEIVE RECOGNITION

1t to be pretty generally conceded throughout this
division that Cordova is entitled to and will receive the
Senatorshp at the coming election If there had been but
candidate the outcome would have been cnch but with
two candidates the vote will be divided And in this
ngency lies the hope of Geo. Goshaw of Chsana The voters
of Valdez do not expect Senator this year, and
they do not want another they already have the
Senator If either Dr. Chase Tom Price develop exceptional
running qualities it is fair to that the who
largely outdsance the other will receive the election. The
people of Cordova feel that this town is entitled to member
of the Legislature had representation two years ago
Many will be inclined to vote for the Senatorial candidate
who seemingly develops the greater strength and has the
most likelihood of election

ON
The JOB EARLY

Thirty-two men braved the below
zero weather and this morning report
ed for work on the River drive. Before
10, when the temperature had risen a
little, a dozen more men showed up,
and they were directed to report to-
morrow morning for work 1t is the
intention to employ so men at a time.
More than $50 have filed applications,
and if the weather is not too severe
it is certain that the force will be
kept at that number all the time.
The work this morning was the first
under the plan adopted by the city
commissioners for relief of unemploy-
ed in Moline. The men who reported
for work on the River drive are not
ordinary laborers, though there are
enrolled a number of men who have
always been so classed. Some of them
have been accustomed to work in
stores, several have trades. and one or
two have been employed in offices. All
of these men have been out of work for
periods ranging from six weeks to
eight months. Preference is being
given men with families dependent on
them.
Stories that some of them told the
commissioner when they applied for
work deal with almost unbelievable
hardships.
81 had no idea of the amount of suf-
fering here until l took up this propo-
sition," said Commissioner Ericsson to-
day "Stories of suffering come with
every application, and the stories
prove true when investigated. Many
of these men show actual want Of
food, many of them are not supplied
with suitable underclothing, and they
lack proper outer clothing. too. They
are men of good standing who are
simply up against it and have not
been able to get anything to do to
make a living. 1t is to be hoped that
the weather conditions enable us to
go on with this work, for this relief is
certainly much needed here"

MERRIMAN WINS
SECOND MONEY

Word was received late yesterday
afternoon by Principal Nutting of the
local high school that Tom Merriman,
Moline high schools representative in
the Big Eight defamation contest at
Monmouth last Friday evening, had
final ranking of second instead of third
in the event. The letter. which comes
from the Monmouth principal, fol-
lows:
You will see from the enclosed re-
port that the awarding committee
made a mistake in adding the grades
for second place. The final decision
is Galesburg first, Moline second an.
Canton third"
Decision announced at the close of
the contest gave the Davenport con-
testant second and Merriman third.
This was on a percentage basis, as the
points of both Davenport and Moline
were the same, according to the result
obtained by the awarding committee.
When the error was discovered. how
ever, it was found that the Moline
boy should have been second. and Roy
Nelson. the Canton representative,
third, with Davenport fourth.
Merriman will send the bronze med
al which he received for ranking third
to Canton and receive the silver medal
which was thought to have been won
by Davenport youth.
This is the first time that Moline
high school speaker has won a medal
since the time of Arthur Sandmark
several wears ago.
