-FOUR WERE ADDED;
THAT MAKES 'LEVEN"
Story Of the Progress the
Paul Plan for Road
Boss is Making.

Since we went to press last
week four additional candidates
have jumped into the political
pool for road boss. We named
seven last week, so add to these
seven names those of Fred Sher-
imam, A. II. Hiersch, G. c. Bridg-
man and B. G. Saterbo, and you
have the eleven "true and tried"
citizens who will struggle for the
JOB. There is a good-natured
lspTltcd contest now on, and as the
Nominations close" Saturday at
noon, October 2Sth, next week will
be given to printing the tickets,
and instructions, and getting ar
rangemcnts made for the advisory
vote.
The question arose as to what
Mr.. Paul meant by saying he
would appoint any man whom
majority Of the voters of the two
islands might agree upon. The
NeWs-Record man has taken such
Ian interest in this election that he
took it upon himself to ascertain
Mr.. Paul's views with the result of
the letter published below. This
makes us feel all the more sure
that Mr.. Paul intends to shoot
squarely with the two islands. We
can see it would be impossible for
any man to get a majority of all
the votes cast when there are elev-
en- in the race. To hold second
election would mean added ex-
penSe and delayed action. 1t
reached point where it was eth
er going to prove fiasco, and
mean nothing, or else a definite
understanding had to be reached.
Our desire was to have nothing
left to question after the votes
were cast and counted. The fol-
lowing letter is self-explanatory:
Seattle, Wash, Oct. "a, 1929
Editor NewS-Record =
1t is my desire, if I am elected
county commissioner, to appoint
the man the voters of the islands
may agree upon, for road boss.
With seven or more candidates in
the race ii would appear that none
of them could get a majority of
all votes east If the election re-
suits in any one candidate getting
a reasonable plurality of the votes
cast, I'll appoint him, subject to
the qualifications heretofore stat
ed. Please let your readers know
this in your next issue.
Very truly yours,
FRANK II. PAUL.
There has been some speculation
the past few days as to what the
intentions of C. II. Bruce are con-
corning road boss. We took the
trouble to ask him and he replied
that he is in no way, shape, or
form candidate for the job, eth
er before the election or after it
is all over. This is a clear-cut dec
laration, and leaves everything
open and above board. 1t is now
up to tn people of the islands to
get busy and roll up a big vote for
both Paul and Gaines and pick out
a man from among the eleven for
road boss that everyone can back,
and then back him from the day
his job starts, and give the two is
lands good service in road build
ing and maintenance. We are for
the man the people select no mat
ter who he is or what his name is.
Here is the list of the eleven in the
order they fled:

be such an individual he should
have been present Friday and Sat
urday of last week at the Nashon
high school, where he could have
gazed upon a bewildering display

quality and quantity would be
hard to beat. These ranged from
Strawberries, and corn eleven feet
high, to fahcy needle work and a
wonderful collection of photo
graphic out door scenes.
The people Of Cove were repre-
scented with a splendid community
Exhibit Of vegetables which caused
a great deal of favorable comment
and received the special commend
alton of the judges.
The young people were repre-
secuted in practically all depart
Iments, including school work,
chickens, vegetables, canning and
baking.
The success Of the fair is due to
1.-THE splendid response made by the
people upon short notice, and also
the cooperation and mselfish
work of the superintendent of the
different departments and the
clerks.
Because of the enthusiasm of the
people of the community and the
benefits to be derived from Wash

mittee resolved that a community
meeting be held in April, 1923, to
make plans for a fair to be held
