Editor Leader,
Toledo, Oregon.
Dear Sir:
Win you permit me a little
: space in the Leader for a few re-
marks on the article published
In the Lincoln County Leader of
December 9Th, headed, Shall
We Enlarge Our Port Districts?
Now why say Districts? Why
not say District? The article
says, "let us al, join hands and
pull together. Is having two
Port Districts on one bay-is
that joining hands and pulling
together? The article further
states that the bar and jetty i'm
proVements will cost the two dis
tricts $234,000. Now as l see it.
the Port of Toledo will not have
any bar or jetty in their district
to improve and they surely
would not pay for half of the
Improvement Of the Newport
District, and il they don't, it will
cost the people of the Newport
Dia"ifct something like a three
mill levy, to pay the interest on
the S234OO0 worth of bonds.
Now that looks to me as if the
people Of Newport were trying
to put one over on "us" of the
North end Of the County. Now
to split m the territory in two
Port Districts and improve one
part of the bay to suit one fac
tion, and the other part to please
another faction don't sound to
me, Ike Joining hands and pull
frg together. Now ] have one
more question to ask. What will
be the result if one district car
ries and is enlarged, and the
other one looses?
Now let us all Join hands and
make one Port District of the
w ola County North of Alsea
District and all work for the i'm
r"ovement OF Yaquina Bay and
b., os will he to the best ad-
vantage Cf all!

BETTER RESULTS
GOULD BE OBTAINED

Eddyville, Oregon, Dec. 81, 1916.
Editor Leader
Mr.. Tangen is disputing Mr..
Saverson's word about agricul-
tcral matters in your last paper.
He claims that Mr.. Severson
SAYS that we cannot raise clover.
corr, etc, in our county with
out an agent. This is not true.
We can raise them, but need an
agent 10 foster the work, plan
crgHn,zation, help the ignorant
aid brace the back -sliders.
Mr.. Tangen says he has nev-
ertheless seen over dozen car
loads of stock shipped out of his
district, even without an agent,
and without clover and corn.
He overlooks the fact, however,
that they were shipped without
organization, but by private
buyers.
With IN agent in the lead. the
farmers would form a selling or
eani2ation, and ship for them
selves. They receive, at present,
about $3.50 a car load for cattle,
o. an average of about S25 a
head. BY selling collectively and
taking their car to market them
selves, they would receive about
SltG0 4 carload or about S45 a
hesd. Still, the installation of
a county agent is a reckless ex-'
travagance, throught of only by
Individuals in the parasite and
anarchist class. {.
Mr.. Tangen is all wrough up
because lie has no market. j
think that all the crops he raises
could be put into livestock or
cream. He can sell his cream to
a cooperative creamery and
could very easily sell his stock
IN collective way and get near"
ly double what he gets now.

MAY SPLIT VOTE
Prospect for California Vote
To Be Divided.
Not Improbable; 1t Happened
Four Years Ago.

San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 9.-The
possibility that California may cast q
divided vote in the electoral college
was discussed by politicians today as
they watched the returns slowly COM
ing in from California precincts.
Under the law, the thirteen candi-
dates for elector who receive the larg-
est vote will go to the electoral COL
lege, regardless of whether they all
favor the same presidential candidate.
1t is possible for the high man of one
set of thirteen electors to be higher
than the low man of the set of electors
whose party candidate receives the
ma jority of the electoral votes.
Four years ago this happened, Will

G. o. p. Has Everything to Win

With every state a pivotal state and

out early in the week by the Demo-
Gratis. Now the Republicans are con-

In event of a contest, suit will be

This year Kansas voted in a square

dividual electors. According to
theory of many lawyers, the constitu-
ton specifically provides that electors
shall be chosen, who shall chose the

Republicans would result in throwing

Today the Republicans are in much
the same position as the Democrats
prior to the election. Last SUNDAY
several Democrat state leaders were in
conference with legal advisers relative
to the constitutionality of the Kansas
electoral system. They planned to file
suit to test the state vote in event IL
was unfavorable to Wilson. Just at

opinion it would be for Wilson, either.
In fact, the state vote surprised the

press returns from 54 precincts. The

come in. The two precincts which
were missing until this afternoon gaS@

Phillip H. Faulkner, chairman of
the Republican state committee, is
sued the following statement:
THE claim that New Hampshire
has gone for Wilson is unsubstantiat-
ed by any returns in our possession.
Fully 40 per cent of the town clerks
thruout the state have rendered no
official returns of the vote but such
unofficial figures as we have. verified
in every quarter of the state indicate
that Mr.. Hughes has carried New
Hampshire by something less than 100
plurality.
1--WE have well fortified information
officers in the counting of votes in
many quarters and we have today in
stituted proceedings for an inspection
of all the votes cast in the state on
Tuesday, as our law provides.
Contest the Vote.
George A. Fairbanks of Newport,
one of the Hughes presidential cleo
4 tors. is the petitioner in this action,
and we expect to have the New Hamp-
shire ballots in the hands of the secre-
tary of state by the close of another
day.

to the Democrats and are prepared to
substantiate our claim of Republican
