GO BEGGING
Nobody Seems to Wish to be
Mayor or Members of
City Council

There are a lot of blanks intended
for the declarations of candidacy for
city offices over in the office of the
city clerk with nobody's name on
them. That isn't all nobody seems
willing to walk up and declare them
selves for candidates, especially for
the non-salaried office.
The city primary is to be held gen.
.eral election day, November a. The
period allowed candidates for filing
ends October and to date there
isn't filing.
City Treasurer w. G. King and Ci-
ty Attorney C. L. Holcomb informed
the Courier Reporter today that they
expect to become candidates for re-
election. City Clerk F. M. Bentley,
however. has not as yet made up his
mind to go after another term.
Mayor III. w. Desgranges who is
now completing his second term an
nounces that he has had enough. He
thinks it is time for someone else
to assume the responsibility of head

Who Declare for Cool
idge and Dawes

The new county central commit
tees of both republican and democrat
ic parties were organized Saturday.
The republicans met in Prosser for
organization and the democrats in
Kennewick. 9 .a'
Andrew Brown of Prosser, was con-
tinued state committeeman by the re-
publicans and Mrs. o. X. William
son of Prosser was chosen state COM
mitteewoman a new office created
by the republican state convention
last spring. an8 ..sE n.s
County Auditor Z. o. Keene, who
still retains his residence on the Ken
newick Highlands, was named county
republican chairman to succeed A.
r. Gardner. The new chairman was
empowered to select his own secre-
tary-treasurer and assisted by the
state committeeman and secretary to
fill all vacancies. t#a D.,
In, sending out the call for Satur-
days meeting Mr.. Gardner as last
years chairman requested that all
precincts sign declaration to the eff
feet that they are republicans and
intend to support the republican state
and national tickets at the forthcom-
ing general election.
All committeeman present at the
meeting or represented by proxy, had
signed the declaration with the ex-
ception of r. r. Woods, of White
Bluffs. Mr.. Woods, who il is UNDER
stood heads the LaFollette organiza-
tion in White Bluffs, refused to sign
the declaration. He submitted GER
tificate of election issued blythe coun-
ty auditor and demanded that he be
seated. He declared that he is u
republican and intends to support the
republican state ticket at the gene
raj election. He refused to commit
himself on the national ticket. He
argued that he had been duly elected

cinct and that the county committee
had no alternative under the law but
to seat him.

quire all precinct committeeman to
sign the declaration as sent out by
the chairman and declared vacant,
the offices in all precincts where the
