We have II on reliable authority
that a convalescent patient residing
our near Dairy wrote the following
testimonial letter to Klamath Falls
doctor:
Dear Doctor:
Your tablets have done me a whole
lot of good. will never hesitate
to recommend them TO any person
and etc.
Naturally, the good physician was
filled with a sense Of undue elation
as he read the testimonial.
However, he did not know that
the patient had punched holes in the
said tablets and sewed them on his
trousers for buttons, instead Of TAX
ing them according to directions.

CANDIDATES WERE
 TRAVELLING ME N
 ALL OF YESTERDAY
Autos Were Fitting About the City Like Barn Swallows as Weak Places In Lines
 Were Reported

Brought out by the hot campaign of the past week. a large number of voters is estimated to havo visited the polls yesterday to select & city commission for the next four years.
 Little comment on their choice was made by those voting. although it was evident that single -shotinE was being practiced in favor of sev- eral candidates. John Taylor, S. R. Batson. Mrs. Mary Echols and W. E. Dickson were being voted for in this fashion in many parts of the city.
 Hints of tickets and various coali- tons were being banded about in the various communities. Consensus of opinion yesterday and for several days before the election was that it was case of the "outs" against the '1ns." The few voters who would talk expressed the belief that if the present president was defeated the entire administration would leave tho city hall.
 Opposition to the present admin istration seemed to have It's center in old Birmingham and in the west ern suburbs. Ensley appeared to be going for McLendon and the "out' ticket, while the eastern section was going strong for Dr. Barrett and his associates.
 Candidates for the associate posi- tions were busy visiting the polls yesterday all day. w. B. Cloe, ". L. Harrison, John l.. Hornady, John Taylor and supporters of Dr. Barrett were all seen at one box in Wood lawn at almost the same time yes tcrday morning.
 At several polling places boosters for several candidates were display ing ticket, with McLendon leading , this ticket. Four "outs" were named Including Mrs. Echols. Tn plain sight of every one, a woman voted thi, ticket straight through at one of tho boxes.
 Dr. Barrett voted fourteenth at his home box, the East Lake fire sta tion, while Mir. McLendon. voting al the same box, was the 10Sth person to cast his vote. Barrett was show ing his heels to his opponent at this box late in the afternoon, with a heavy vote being cast.
 Clusters of men were gathered around the polls at only two boxes those in the city hall. Election of- ficers performed their work with hardly hitch, and no disturbances were reported.
