The Eastern Oregon Nor mal school means so much to all of us In many ways. Its Influence on the education of Eastern Oregon 1b great. It makes it possible for many of our children to receive a college education where, if the school Is moved away through the passage of the Zorn-Macpherson bill, many of our children would be deprived of a higher education. We fought hard to have this college established here. (Continued on Page Three) E.O.N. To Play Lewiston Here Armistice Day - Heartened by its Impressive victory over Spokane university last Friday 31 to 0, the Eastern Oregon Normal school football " squad was hard' at work this week In preparation for the final game of the season. On Arm Is -tico day the Lewiston Normal school, a natural rival of the Mountaineers, will bo here for the closing game for E. O. N. ' And ail indications point to a close contest. Lewiston defeated Spokane 26 to 6, leaving little to choose be tween the two teams on that compari son. Hodgens, tackle, who did not make tho trip to Spokane., and Hoyt, guard, who played one quarter Friday, both aro expected to be in good condition for the game Friday. No other serl oun Injuries existed today in the squad. At -Spokane Friday the Mountain eers drove down the field twice hi the first quarter to score touchdowns, missing the point both times. Hanks carried the ball over the first time and Sanner, who replaced Roe who was playing with a bad knee, scored the second time. In the second quarter 11. O. N. suffered a letdown and Spo kane scored a touchdown on two long passes. Then E. O. N. held on the 15-yard line, took the ball and started to move out. But a bad pass from center went over the goal line and Hanks had to fall on It for a safety for Spokane to prevent the Washington players from con verting the misplay Into a touch down. In the third quarter the Mountain eers marched down the field to score, making seven, eight and 10 yards per down.

The executive committee, after care ful Investigation of this measure, has gone on record as being opposed to this measure lor the iouowing rea sons: 1. That the Eastern Oregon Normal school Is an Industry which brings into La Grande better than $200,000 vearlv. 2. That It is a combination of both junior college and normal training school, and that it is certain as death and taxes that a Junior college alone cannot live more than year and after that we would have no school at all. 3. That it serves the whole of the Eastern Oregon country, making it possible for our local children to at tend this school nearer to their own homes. ' 4. That it helps relieve the tax payer of about $1200.00 yearly In the payment of the salaries of local tea chers, and regardless of what Zorn tells you, the bill will not reduce 5. That It adds to the cultural environment of La Grande and this section of Oregon. 6. That through tins industry me property values of La Grando are greater, and because of the money spent in this community by the stu dents and the teachers along with the maintenance of the Institution paid by the state of Oregon, we as citizens of this section are better able to meet our city county and staxo taxes. 7. That anv chanee from the pres ent status of this school will mean an immediate loss to us in attendance, and an increased per capita cost o education In this school. 8. That if this tiill Is not voted dawn, thn state will suffer from the loss of taxable property in tne ciucs of Monmouth, Asmana, i-a uruuuo and Eugene. 9.

But, with ragged play ing and a weak defense during a part of the game, tne oiue ana wnue 'squad fell a bit short of covering Itself with glory. As a matter of fact. Union's show ing was much better than had been expected and when the Bobcats scored early In the fourth quarter, they were roundly cheered by the fans on the sidelines.

Just how effectively was turned aside the rush of tho brown shlrted Nasi is told most adequately by the final fleurcB-of the tabulators. Whereas Hitler commanded 230 scats In the rote lis tag chosen on July 31, he railed to muster more tnan 105 yesterday, a drop of 35, his pro centage of the popular vote suffered accordingly, going down from 37.7 to 33. What little drift there was went to the extreme left or to the extreme right, the Communists winning 100 seats against their previous 89, and tho Nationalists taking 51 against their former 37. But the Junker chancellor, Franz Von Papen, remained at . the helm with the swppqrt of the veteran president Von Htndenburg. 333$$$3g3$' 3 $ POLLING PLACES FOR NOV. 8 ELECTION 1 Frank Cleavinger resl- dence. 602 Third. 2 City Hall, Elm street. 3 W.
