referred to as the New Deal no
longer commands any great per-
centage Of voters, and that the
best chance the Democrats have
this year is to 60 back to tradi-
tional Democracy, which is per-
sonified by Mr.. Hull. The state
ment of John L. Lewis, head of
the C. I. O., that Mr.. Roosevelt
could not be reelected if he were
nominated, makes it certain he
could not count on the support of
organized labor, which was such
a powerful factor in the election
of 1886.
On the Republican side the out
look is still for an open conven-
ton with Dewey, Taft and Van

Stewort School to Present Christmas
Operetto Wednesday,. Dec. Is

fTYALLTP- Question Of g
Sewer survey was again before the
city council At its session wednes-
day night However, this time the

Of Prof. Richard G. Tyler. santa
ton expert connected with the
civil engineering department Of the
University Of Washington. who
came here at their request.
Tyler told the council that this
city has a problem not 10 be found
IN many other municipalities. He
pointed out that for certain
periods. during fair week and
through the cannery season, a
sewer system has q load to carry
out Of proportion to the rest Of the
year which must be taken into
consideration. He expressed the
opinion that drainage and sewage
could be carried more economically
through separate units.
Outcome Of the conference was
that City Engineer Gordon Fox
and City Attorney Leslie Jochim-
sen will consult further with Prof
Tyler to draw up contract to
submit to bidders and after a pre-
liminary survey TO get an idea of
the cost Of the system the matter
will be put to a vote Of the people.
II the proposition is approved. a
consulting engineer will be en-
ployed for supervision of construe-
ton.

sage of a resolution taking $500
