Even at this early date the con-
test has simmered down to two
candidates who would succeed Mrs.
Pennypacker. They are Mrs. Sam

vice-president, and Mrs. Joseph Ev-

Both Mrs. Cowles and Mrs. Sheath

This election will be one OF the

The colonel's speech accepting the

Albany Boosters Will
Attend State Fair

The promoters of the Harvest Festi-
val are planning big auto excursion
to the state fair at Salem on next
Thursday. An effort will be made to
secure $50 cars for the trip.
1t is planned to visit Independence,
Monmouth and Dallas on the trip down
and return via Turner, Marion and JET
ferson.
A regular schedule for the day will
be made and every ear required to
keep on the schedule. The effort to
keep the cars together is made because
much better showing is believed to
result of having all the machines in
line rather than having them strung
out all over the country.
Thursday will be Portland day at
the fair and will be the biggest day of
the week. With cowboy hats and fes-
tival banners present in abundance the
Albany ears expect to make big
showing.
Any one owning a car and intending
to make the trip is being asked to
register with Edward Bailey.-Albany

like Cats the Classes
Take to the Roofs

That break in the brotherly love
now outwardly existing between mem
bers of the freshmen and sophomore
classes is imminent was apparent to
any chance prowler in the vicinity of
the Sweetland athletic field last night.
1t has been custom for each university
class to strive to keep its members on
the grandstand roof at certain periods
of the year, despite the efforts of the
rival classes to eradicate them. When
ever the freshmen paint their numerals
ON the roof, the sophomores make it
their business to see that they disap-
pear as soon as possible. Many and
excited battles have been waged by the
respective factions on the athletic field
since such strife was inaugurated in
1908.
The sophomores decided to repaint
their dilapidated numerals which have
remained covered with tax since last
year, but soon after the completion of
the task, freshmen wanderers of the
night got busy and "the glory that
was" paint was soon no more. In all
probability this evening will witness re-
taliatory tactics on. the part of both
classes. just when an open break will
occur, it is impossible to predict, but
with excitement running so high, the
dove of peace will soon be banished to
the tall timber.
