In addition to a mayor, recorder, chief of police and treasurer, there will be four couneilmen to elect, one from each of the four wards. The retiring couneilmen are S. N. Bolton from the First ward, and C. 8. Dunn from the Third. For some time there have been two vacancies In the council, caused by the death of J. M. McChII of the Second ward, and the resignation of G. E. Fowler In the Fourth. The hold-over couneilmen iv V". Mir.!")", A V Andrews. F. I Meyers and J. T. Williamson. Quite a number of the former up portecs of Mayor Richardson have requested him to stand for re-election and when he . was Interviewed today by an Observer representative, he stated that If his administration had been so conducted as to warrant the support of those ' who favored his election last year, he would consent to become a candidate. J. XV. Walden will be a candidate for marshal, and it Is stated that Deputy Marshal John Pepper may al so enter the race. I. R. Snook, in all probability, will be a candidate for re-election for city recorder, and if J. K. Wright desires to succeed himself as treasurer. It Is quite probable that he will have no opposition. For couneilmen It Is 'a little early yet for announcements, but It Is quite probable that Councilman Dunn and Bolton will be returned from their respective wards, If they so desire. The elimination of the proposed new charter will remove that as an Issue, consequently at this time one it the old-time redhot campaigns Is not expected, but one can never tell what a La Grande city election may develop. As this Is the first general election wherein voters have been required to register, much time and annoyance will be saved. If the voters stepping Into the recorders office and register ing before the books are closed, which will bo on April 24. SEATTLE EXPOSITION BLACKLISTED BY UNIONS Seattle, Wash., Jan. 24. Members of labor unions everywhere are warned by the labor bodies of Seattle and Washington to stay away from the Alaaka-Yukon-Paclflc exposition, and have placed that gigantic project on the "unfair" or "we don't patron ize" list. This action has been taken as a result of the employment of non union labor Irt the construction work now in progress on the exposition site. The directors of the exposition company have refused to alter their policy in regard to the "open shop," and as a result the labor union boy cott, will likely continue and organ ized labor will have no representation at the exposition.

Jacobs. f The work has created a sensatlop among local literary critics and t fierce controversy Is raging as a re sult of its publication. The conclu sions of the author are summed up In the final paragraph of the brochure, which Is as follows: "Through the syzygy we have out lined here, relative environment can not be thought of as defeating affin ity In the absolute. We conclude that God Is and that immortality Is a fact and that the syzygy of abiding places Is open to view." The principal difference of oplnl(Tvj among the critics Is. as to the "syzy gy." some declaring that It Is a wild animal, while other Insist that It Is a new "prohibition" drink. Consider able alarm Is also felt at the author's bank, use of the word "affinity." the oldest citizens declaring that there has never j been a case of affinity here and that such an Implication is a reflection on .
