COMMERCIAL CLUB
WANTS Street SIGNS
Petitions Council to Arrange
for This In Compiling
Years Budget

a movement is now on, backed by the
Commercial club, for the marking and
proper naming of all streets in Salem,
whereby one may give intelligent infor.
nation as to locations in the city. by
street names.
The matter of marking the streets
and of course the money required will
have to come through action Of the city
council and it is especially to the mem
bcrs of the street committee. w. II.
Cook, chairman, j. A. Mills and n. d.
Elliott, that Il petition will be presented.
According to those who understand
city affairs in general, the only way
TO have this street marking done is to
impress members of the council and es.
pecially the street committee that it IL
the wish of the citizens. The CONNER.
cial club has already expressed itself in
favor of such action, but the money and
authority to do so must come from the
city council.
1t has been suggested that citizens
who really want the streets marked
should take the trouble to write the
Commercial club to show that the eff
forts of the club are being appreciated
and endorsed.
! The following petition, signed by tn,
president of the Commercial club ant
the director Of each department, will b,
presented to the council:
Whereas, Numerous complaints ar,
being received by the Salem Commercia
club, from citizens Of and visitors +,
the city, because Of the lack of ade
quate street signs, and
Whereas, This much needed i'm
provement could be instituted by tn,
city at a very nominal cost per year b,
means of unit plan Of installation
i. e., installing certain portion Of thu
lcity each year, and
Whereas, With the right construc
ton, these signs, when once installed
become q permanent improvement, will
practically no up keep cost and
Whereas, Such an improvement
would not only add to the attractive
ness Of the city but would also be time
savers to merchants and others making
deliveries in the city, and
Whereas, Such an improvement in
wolves the entire city and not some par
ticular section or ward, and
Whereas, The city council through
the street committee has made u mucl
needed improvement in the installation
Of School District Traffic Signs,
thus beginning the campaign for bet
ter street signs throughout the city
therefore be it,
"Resolved, That the board Of direc
tors of the Salem Commercial club doe

preparation in the coming budget, al

LET THE CHIPS FALL
WHERE THEY MAY

The third week Of the Herald's poll
shows a total straw" vote cast of
.79.s03 OF these Mr.. Hughes has Al
l12 and Mr.. Wilson 36,92S. Broadly
speaking the drift is In the same di-
rectton as that Of last week.
Obviously the total vote as here
presented gives no substantial indica-
ton ono way or the other. Perhaps
the most important feature of the
canvass as shown by the returns pre-
scented today. is that Mr.. Hughes con-
tinues TO get approximately seventy
eight per cent Of the Roosevelt vote
of 1912 and Mr. Wilson twenty-five
per cent
1t is not for the Herald to specu-
late concerning what the figures in to-
days tables mean. 1t may he said.
however, that even the division of the
Roosevelt vote here shown is Of
importance only when subjected to
analysis In accordance with the cleo
toral vote Of each state. In other
words twenty-five per cent of the
Roosevelt strength Of 1912 might be
suffiCient TO carry one State for Mr..
Wilson, all things else being equal,
whereas in another State It would not
be enough
Prediction ut this stage of the bal
loting is the part of partisanship, not
of the Herald
As in the past, this straw vote"
canvass is being taken with absolute
impartialitv II is being done as well
as II is humanly possible for such a
thing to be done--hy means of care
fully selected canvassers, many of
them men who have had experience
in other years Their Instructions are
ironclad There is to be no bias one
way or the other.
Too Close for Anybody's Comfort
The Herald itself is perfectly cold
hlooded, Its part Is to obtain through
these canva ssers as nearly represent
alive poll as can he had in this
country OF course what each voter
indicates upon the blank he is asked
10 hll is accepted by the canvasser in
good faith. There IS no other way
to do 1t.
In some States the pou is more
backward than In othors Not enough
votes are in hand for an unprejudiccd
analyst to attempt a prophecy.
Whatever comfort the supporters
Of Mr.. Hughes on the one hand or Mr.
Wilson on the other can extract from
their OWN analysis Of the Herald s
tables they are welcome TO-
Predictions VIII come later The
only positive assertion that the re-
turns in hand seem to warrant is that
the contest at this stage looks like
one OF the closest in the history of
the country~-NeW ork Herald.
