Johnson Wins Mayoralty, Favors Rebuilt Mill-race Near-complete totals of Eugene votes last night gave Edwin A . Johnson, local furniture store operator, the office of Mayor by an impressive margin. Johnson triumphed over opponents Ralph Newman and A. L. Hawn as finale to a campaign which centered about civic improvement measures. Also on the winning side of the local election were council men-elect Robert Booth, ward one; Jesse Godlove, ward two, Ray E. Allen, ward three; and J. Don Smith, ward four.

Annexation Approved South Friendly Street and South Willamette district annexation pro posals were approved by an over whelmingly majority. Rejected, however, was a proposal by the city council to rezone the Byers prop erty, Franklin Boulevard, to per mit establishment of a drive-in. One important measure up for , approval, the amendment to con struction of a new jail separate from the city hall, was given a prac tically ananimous approval by vot ers. Latest reports gave the amend ment a “yes” lead of 5-1. County voting gave Earl lTMcT “Nutt, present Eugene mayor, vic tory in his bid for a seat in the state house of representaieves. Closely following him were Herman P. Hen cTershott and Earl H. Hill. All three -candidates ran on the Republican . ticket. Straight Slate Lane County endorsed the state ■ and national Republican ticket .without a single exception, giving all GOP candidates deceisive leads over Democratic opposition. Mayor-elect Johnson is a UO graduate of the class of 1928. In his .campaign he advocated restoration . r" of the mill-race and voiced approv al of city financial participation in race up-keep. Johnson thought closing Thirteenth avenue impractical at the present time.—“As much as I would like to see it closed to traffic, I don’t see how it can be done under the pres ent conditions.” However, he had alternate proposals to alleviate traffic problems, including the wid ening of Alder street.

Fogdall Not Successful In Sheriff Race Although write-in votes have not been officially tallied, accord ing to the election desk of the county clerk’s office, it appears fairly certain to UO students that Vergil S.

Fogdall’s candidacy was sup ported by an anonymous “Lane County Student Committee,*’ who distributed green handbills at campus living organizations on election eve. m The University director yester day issued this statement regard ing the election: “Since I have been unable to contact my enthusiastic cam paign manager, may I use this means of expressing my sincere thanks for his energetic cam paign in my behalf.” Joes to Meet Candidates for Joe College have been asked to be at Gerlin ger hall tonight at 6:30 by Jim Hershner, contest chairman.
