Not Be Candidate for Re-
nomination Rep. Chase
Wants Place.
John S. Coke, of Mnrshfleld, state
senntor from Coos and Curry coun
ties, announced yesterday that he
would not be a candidate for renom
Inatlon at tho republican primaries.
He stated that his private business
demanded all of his time, and that
he could not afford to devote his
time to making a campaign or to fur
ther service. Ho is now service his
second term.
According to gossip In political cir
cles, William C. Chase, of Coqulllo,
at present state representative, will
will bo a candidate for Mr. Coke'3
place. AVhether there will be any
other candidates is not known now.
It was also current political gossip
yesterday that Georgo N. Farrln, of

The Marshfield caucuses to select
delegates to tho Coos county repub
lican convention at Coquille next
Tuesday will be held from 10 to 12
o'clock Thursday. The places have
not been selected for holding all of
the caucuses, but will be announced
by Dr. Mingus tomorrow.
Politics Growing AA'arm.
Coos county politics continue to
grow lively, as tho date of tho pri
maries approaches, ana one of tho
largest fields of candidates ever en
tered for office Is expected to bo en
tered. Almost daily, new nomination
papers are being filed with Clerk
AVatson of Coquille.
Owing to the big republican ma
jority in the county, of course the
largest uumber of candidates has en
tered the primaries of that party.
However, the aspirants with other
political affiliations aro growing nu
merous. It, is estimated that tho
democrats aro holding back to see
what the republicans will do, and will
then center their energies on part of
a ticket.
The Coquille Sentinel announces
that since tho recent list of candi
dates, as printed In Tho Times, tho
following have filed nomination pa
pers:
H. E. AVilcox, of McKinley and J.
A. Davenport, of Coquille, for county
commissioners; C. H. Medley, for as
sessor; A. M. Snyder, of Myrtle Point?
and E. Heuckendorf, of Prosper, for
sheriff.
The Sentinel also says that AV. AV.
Gage for sheriff and T. J. Thrift for
assessor aro the only full fledged
democratic candidates in tho field
thus far, but it intimates that Cal
AVrlght Is making a gum shoe pre
liminary campaign for sheriff.
The results of tho Coos county re
publican convention . at Coqulllo
March 24 are awaited with much In
terest by all candidates. No ono
seems to have a definite idea of the
detail work that will bo undertaken
by tho delegates.
Must Register Soon.
All who expect to participate In
tho primaries April 17 must remom
ber to register on or before April 17
If they have not already registered.
This applies to voters of all political
affiliations.
Tho registration boards aro now in
session at tho various points, and
have been for somo time, but the reg
istration Is very light, especially In
Coos Bay cities.
Most of tho precinct caucuses to se
lect delegates to tho republican coun
ty convention will bo held this week,
tho convention being held at Coqulllo
a week from tomorrow.
A recent issue of tho Port Orford
Tribune contained tho announcement
cards of twenty-four candidates for
various Curry county offices. As tho
total amount of taxes raised for all
expenses In Curry Is only a trlflo
moro than $32,000, It Is difficult to
understand tho stronuous strugglo
for pluco that Is being waged there.

Councilman Threatens to Re
sign if Slip-shod Methods
Are Not Rectified
MAYOR E. E. STRAW AGREES
Decide to Install System of Municipal
Accounting Under Direction of
AVilliam F. Squire.
"I will resign immediately rrom
the city council of Marshfield if ar
rangements aro not mado for keeping
a pormanent record of wliat wo aro
doing, the money wo aro spending,
what wo are getting for it, and sys
tematic accounts of tho city's af
fairs." This declaration by Councilman F.
A. Sacchl caused quite a Btir at tho
meeting of the Marshfield city coun
cil last night. It came in tones that
could not bo misunderstood, and was
occasioned by what Mr. Sacchl
thought was opposition on the part of
certain other councilman to purchas
ing a set of city records and arrang
ing for their installation and keep
ing. Mr. Sacchl has Just completed
tho report of his Investigation of mu
nicipal accounting, and had recom
mended the purchase of a complete
set of books for about $150. Somo
of tho other councllmon, including
Councilman J. H. Flanagan and I.
M. Condron, at first did not favor tho
expenditure of so much in books, be
cause they said they wero not ex
actly sure tho books would bo suit
able. "I said tho books would bo suitable
and I will give a bond guaranteeing
that I will pay for them in case they
don't prove what the city needs," de
clared Mr. Sacchl In rather heated
tones. "I simply will not contlnuo
to go along, hero In a hit and miss
way with no records and no system
of accounts. I don't know and can't
find out tho condition of Marshfleld's
affairs,' now. I am suro that dollars
and dollars could bo saved tho city
If wo had tho right kind of records
properly kept. AVo want a monthly
report on the city's affairs, and I am
going to have It or resign."
City AA'ithout Records.
Here Mayor E. E. Straw Interrupt
ed. AVhilo he and Sacchl had a few
tilts earlier, ho practically endorsed
Mr.'Sacchi's views. Mayor Straw
said that Marshfield had attained
such Importance, and Its rapid
growth demanded, that a system of
keeping public records bo Installed,
and that tho old hit and miss way of
doing thing3 that prevailed In tho
'tall grass' days, bo rectified at onco.
Ho said that there was absolutely no
good record of tho city's affairs for
years, and that tho city had been giv
ing franchises, vacating streets, buy
ing property aud entering into con
tracts without tho propor records to
protect Its interests. Ho wanted a
complete record whereby overy prop
erty owner could find tho details of
overy action of tho city. Also that
tho record of It bo placed In tho
hands of adequately paid parties, as
tho city officials, who do not receive
any salary, cannot bo expected to bo
philanthropists and neglect their per
sonal affairs to look after tho munici
pality. Tho Important matters now
coming up, ho thought, mado It es
sential to Install proper records at,
this time.
After considerable discussion.
Councilman Sacchl was authorized to
oxpend $150 or $175 In purchasing
tho sot of records. Upon his motion,
Mayor Straw appointed Councllmon
Sacchl, Flanagan and Lockhart as a
committee to ongago AVilllam F.
Squire of Marshfield at a salary of
$150 a month to Btart gut t'. now
