Doubt less attempts will be made to divert the iuue as outlined by the league, but the iHsue and fight will be whether the voters of this city Indorse or con demn the present administration. It will be a clear-cut fight. The record Is an open one and none should be de celved. 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 Political Information. 4 County . registration books1 4 open until April 7. r Primary election.

They , expended a large amount of money for tackle, dug a nice lot of worms, caught some good fat frogs and met on the hora of the lake. Mr. Pessimistic said: "It smells to ma little like rain, it seems to me I caa see a cloud over there In the sky, and I tell you right now I am not going to take any chances by going .out on the lake until conditions . change. The boat might tip over you know and then I would lose all of my expensive tackle. Even If the boat didn't spill me out, If It rained I would ' get wet, if I got wet I would catch cold, If I caught cold I would have a fever, and If I had a fever I would probably die, so I am going to stay . on ahore until everything Is more fa vorable." Mr. Optlmlstlo said: "Well, you ran stay hers, count your worms and eat four frogs If you want to, but I am going out. I have put a lot of money into this outfit. I have got same good fresh bait, and a little cloud doesn't scare me a particle. Suppose we io have a shower, the sun will soon )ru.' out, and anyway you would dryP'feft' just as quicKiy in tne Dual a on snore, besides all that, I want some;,flh and I am going to have them. ,:jjV All day long Mr. PessWte'-wht on the shore waiting for the storm which never came. His worms dried up, his frogs died, and at night when Mr. Op tlmUtkv came In with a big string of ftuh. he corned his luck, said every thing always went against him, and then teawrt Mr. Optimistic to divide his flh with htm. MORAL. Simply because Wall street was fool ish enough to got Its feet wet is no reason In the world why the entire country should stand still and shiver. Don't scuttle the ship or let tha bait dry up. Put on fresh bult, a pleasant look and trust In Providence, but don't forget to throw out your line.

CIVIC LEAGUE L T I Li S WILL IMMEDIATELY LAUNCH LOCAL OPTION PETITIONS, Indorsee the Administration of Mayor Richardson and Pledges Him its Support for Ito-election Also Its Support to Candidates Ilolton, Bay, Dunn and Wright Others Later. The voters of Union county will have an opportunity to vote on local option next June. The movement was started at a mass meeting held in this city prior to the holidays, at which time the organisation of the La Grande Civic league was perfected by the se lection of Charles E. Cochran as pres ident; Q. L. Cleaver, vice-president; F. G. Taylor, secretary, and J. K. Wright as treasurer. The president was empowered to appoint an executive committee of 14, with power to act. This committee was appointed several weeks ago, but did not meet until Sunday afternoon (yesterday) .'at which time It was de cided to launch tha local option move ment and committees were appointed to prepare and circulate the petitions, which will be carried out within the next few days. The executive cnmmtltee Is prepar ing a general statement which will be furnished the press of the county this week. At the conclusion of the local on- tlon preliminaries the matter of city politics was given enreful consideration and after a free discussion tt vn nnnlmously decided to give Dr. Rich ardson Its unqualified support for mayor In the coming city election. The nositton taken was that doring the oresent administration saloons had been closed on Sundays; gambling had been stopped; the sale of liquor In the "redllght"1 district suppressed," that ordinances had been passed raising saloon licenses from M00 to $1000, and providing that saloons be closed from 1 o'clock until E o'clock a. m. of each day. That whether or not Dr. Hall, who is also a candidate, promised to continue these reforms the league considered it lis uuiy lu wiiui i Richardson for a second term. The executive committee also pledg ed Its support to the following candi dates: S. N. Bolton, for council of the first ward; David Bay, for council man of the Second ward; C. S. Dunn, councilman of the Tird ward; J. K. Wright, for treasurer. The other of fices were discussed and It was decid ed to make no further recommenda tion until additional Information was obtained, a clmmlttee for this purpose being appointed. .
