It may, Willamette la showing some
skill In Ita nmthoils, and ao are those
who oiiDono Ita schemes. Last inonu
Willamette held an annexation elec
tion, and Ita object wai defeated by
three votes.
Promptly Willamette called anomer

friends lived. Included In Its territory
to be annexed all that It first aotignt
and enouith more to make It likely
thai annexation would carry from tne
outside. That waa eome foxy move

ly didn't want annexation was douhl.'d

plan. Things looked good for Wlllaui

However, the baBt U.id plans some

peril of defeat again. Certain votera.

The law provldea that voter In thla
election must have r-alded In the
state for a year, and must have liv
ed In tho precinct 30 days, and In the
dlatrlet to be annexed ten day. The
"campers" declare that they have
done all thla, and Insist that thsy
have a perfect right to vote. When
Willamette first discovered tiat "the
enemy" had invaded ita strategic ter
ritory, and waa going to try and vow
down the annexation, acorea of Wll
luinette citizens offered to go camp

about a mile or more irom town dis

So great Is the rush of citizens to
register for the forthcoming election,
to be held on August 16, that County
Clerk Mulvey's office is swamped,
and in spite of the service of an ex
tra demitr. the clerical force 1 hav
ing difficulty in keeping up with the
ores ot business. Ii la apparent
from tho rush of people to get. their
names enrolled upon tbe voters' poll
that there is a general desire to ex
press an opinion aa to whether or not
guilty of the charges prererrea
against them by Ed Old, W. H. Hage-
mann, M. J. Hrown, and otnr leaflet-
In the recall movement.
Many of those who register declare
that they are doing so In order to
vote for the retention In office of the
officials againat whom tbe recall is
aimed. While there may be some
who are Intending to vote for H. 8.
Anderson and J. W. Smith, the candi
dates put forth by tbe recallers, they
are not making their intentions
known when they reglBter. That the
vote will be decisive, however, is In
dicated by the very general Interest
shown In tbe coming ballottlng.
A verv large proportion of those
registering are women, the "new cit
izens" evidently being eager to exer
cise their right of suffrage, and to go
to the polla and vote as their convic
tions dictate. The tact tnat many
women's clubs have invited Judge
Iteatie to speak before them and to
reply to the charges made against
the county court demonstrates mat
the women of the county are deeply
interested in the movement Practi
cally everywhere the Judge has ap
peared he has been greeted wun
hearty applause when his remarks
were ended, and this is takes as an
Indication that the women generally
have not been much impressed by
the charges preferred.
Leaders of the recall movement
were busy as bees iu a broken hive
Saturday, following to extensive cir
culation on the streets of the report
that H. S. Anderson, recall candidate
for countv Judge, wa going to be
pulled out of the race by 1 employ
ers. Every effort was made by the
leaders of the movement to run down
the report and ascertain whcber or
not it was authentic, saturaay nignt.
th secretary of the concern for
which Mr. Anderson Is sales agent
said to The Enterprise that he had
no Interest whatever in tbe political
flshL and that as far as the company
was concerned. It made no difference
to them whether Anderson went Into
politics or not. Anderson 1 employ
ed by the Clear Creek Creamery com
pany.
The general Interest in the rerall.
and the large registration that is be
In i made, show that people in gen
eral are aware of tho brief time yet
remaining for this work, and that
their ri-a taklne the advice of not de
laying in the matter. All those who
have not registered should remember
thut the hooks close at five in the
evening on August 1. and that the
time to regtater IS NOW.
We are charged with extravagance. Five specific Instances of extrava
gance are cited in the Recall petition. We shall, answer the general charge
of extravagance first, and then take up the five Instances In ttelr order.
Sometime ago, the citizen of tbe County will remember, a mass meet
ing was called In Oregon City to take up charge of extravagance against the
County Court This meeting appointed a committee, consisting of R. Scbue
bel, M. J. Brown and 8. L. Casto, to make an investigation of the County
records. Shortly afterward another committee was appointed by a body, of
citizens In Oregon City to act with the above named committee: O. D. Eby
and John Loder were named on this latter committee.
These committees after an examination of the records made separate re
ports. Tbe R. Schuebel-H. J. Brown-S. U Casto Committee Calmed In their
report that certain acts of the County Court showed extravagance; the O.
D. Eby-John Loder CommLtee found the Court was not extravagant These
two report have been published and their contents are known to the voters
of the County. No member of the first named committee has had experience
In examining records and ths discrepancies in their report are excusable; the
members of the other committee, Mr. O. D. Eby and John Loder, have worked
on the county records for years, are thoroughly familiar with them, anJ are
competent and capable to Investigate, and report on the matters under con
sideration, Mr. O. D. Eby, it w ill be remembered, wa a deputy County Clert
for years under E. H. Cooper.
The R..Schuebel-M. J. Brown-S. L. Cato report compare the 1910 and
19ft tax roll and intimate that the county is "163,000 short" We give the
figure for the years 1910 and 1912:

The buslnem man answered tnat
he thought Commissioner Blair was
a good official, honest, painstaking
and thoroughly to oe reue-a upon.
"I don't know anything at all about
