ELECTION QUIET
WITH GOOD VOTE
BOTH SIDES CLAIM VICTORY ON
INDICATIONS ON FIRST 500
VOTES CAST

At $3.50 this afternoon upward OF
500 ballots had been cast in the city
election. The first ward was leading
with a total of 180 while the other
two were practically tied with 175
each. Voters were rolling in pretty
fast at that time at the east and south
ward polling places, but it was COM
paratively quiet in the west ward.
Both Citizens and Peoples ticket
hackers were claiming the victory,
with the Truitt men apparently more
confident. Mayor Gibson was conced-
ed to be far in the lead in the east
ward; Judge Truitt was conceded to
be in the lead in the west ward, and
nobody seemed to be clear as to how
the south ward was voting.
There was no disturbance any
where Many were swearing in their
votes and there was a good amount OF
quiet hustling going on among the ad-
vocates of the different candidates.
There was no talk heard around the
polling places about any of the candl-
dates for the council.

TE0N GAME

WASHINGTON Standard Oil inter

ings of the federal trade commission
in a report to the senate. Refining.
ripe line transportation and market
ing. the commission declares, are con-
trolled by the "Oil Octupus." Real
competition does not exist because of
the interlocking ownership. The COM

lily increased despite the supreme
court decision dissolving the trust.
The commission strongly ugres legis-
lation to correct the evils of the sit
uation.
