 CHANCE IN LAW

The law in that regard is declared to be defective.

There are Is candidates For city council and three for school direc- tor. The city election, at which the councilmen will be chosen, will be held tomorrow, and the school cleo tion the following day.
 The campaign for the city cleo tion has been quiet one on the surface, but 1t is understood that individuals have been quite active in working for various candidates
 Councilmen Lorentzen and Myers were uncertain at first if they would be candidates, even after the ticket on which they appear was filed. But after further considering the matter they decided that they will serve.
 The city registration books closed on the last day of March. The number of people registered Is less this year than last, the difference being 83. The total registration for tte city this year Is 8S0.
 This falling off in registration Is said to be due to the fact that many men who would be entitled to vote in the city have gone to the Tolo- vana district. It is believed that almost every one registered will vote.
 The latest candidate to file a petition was P. A. Knowlton, who was formerly principal of the local schools. It was rumored that there would be a third ticket for the coun. cil in the field, but 1t did not ma terialize.
