Police in Portland found 27 pints of liquor iianging from a fish line tied under the motor of an automobile. Wonder where the owner liavl been fishin'? . :. Portland needs 878 more people to go over the 300,000 mnrk'in the 1Q30 census. We are sure there are that ninny bootleggers- who have avoided the count for l'oar of tho (liiestion on occupation. . Citizens who have moved from one precinct to another since. the last general election can vote in Friday's primary even 'though their registration has ;iot been changed, but they, must vote in their former precinct where their names are still carried on the registration books. Anyone who failed to vote at the last olection and has not registered since then is not eligible to cast a ballot. A California community has 800 more school students todiiy than it had ten years ago. Today its building accom modations are the same as ten years ago, so n bond issuo for new buildings is to bo voted on. It has opposition, as nil liond issuos do. Opponents point to a salary schedule for teachers that is a hundred dollars, or so, per year higher "'Jftft jftverngo thniolghhorimt craynuiiities.husenp- ponents urge citizens to, vote against the bonds as a protest ngalnst this higher salary schedule. They are thinking of their,Under-crowded pockctbooks, -. forgetting over-crowded school rooms. The extra 800 school children are not to blame for tho teachers' salaries, yet they would be nuide to suffer for them. The solution is not in voting against the bonds hut. in 'changing school directors who set the salaries. But the voters are often like that. FOUR REPUBLICAN, TWO DEMOCRATIC CONTESTS Sample ballots for the primary election to be held Friday lire now available. The republican ballot has candidates for all of the fifteen nominations to be made; the democratic ballot has only seven. . On the republican ballot there are contests for national committeeman, with Ralph Williams being opposed by Chas. F, Walker; for governor, with John A. Jeffry, Harry I.,. Cor bett, J. E. Dennett, George W. Joseph, A. W. Norblad, and Charles Hull seeking the nomination ; for justice of the su preme court, with George S. Shepherd and James U. Camp boll contending; for representative from Union and Wallowa counties, with L. F. Allen and T. G. Johnson opposed. On the democratic ballot there are only two nomination contests: Os West and Walter Pierce for national commit toeman and George Wilbur, Ed Bailey, A. C. Hough and Ed S. Piper for governor. Among the republicans running without opposition are Chas. L. McNary, for United States senator; Robert R. But leivfor representative in congress; Harry licit, fur supreme court justice; Charles Howard, for state superintendent of .schools; C. H. Gram, for labor commissioner; Fred K. Riddle, for state senator; H. H. Weatherspoon, for state representa tive; W. R. Ledbetter, for county commissioner. The upopposed democrats include Ellon Watkins for U. S. senator, O. P. Coshow for the supreme court, Vic Eckley for state representative, E. C. Myers for county commis sioner. From these names must republicans and democrats select those who will be approved or rejected at the general elec tion in the fall. Check them over and make your selections. Voters who are undecided or who feel they are not well enough infomu-d on certain candidates to make a choice will do well to consult someone in whom they have confidence. Don t neglect voting for lack of information or lack of' interest. All contested nominations are important and de-1 serve at least a brief study and a flat decision. Be suro to ! go to the polls on Friday. Vote for whom vmi nlims.v i but vote ! ! '. . I . . "I NO AG I" WINS PRAISE FROM t j r'i't-Kii,'iii JiiiiK'H II.
